We report millimeter-sized Nd₅Pb₃ single crystals grown out of a Nd–Co flux. We experimentally study the magnetic order of Nd₅Pb₃ single crystals by measuring the anisotropic magnetic properties, electrical resistivity under high pressure up to 8 GPa, specific heat, and neutron single crystal diffraction. Two successive magnetic orders are observed at T _N1 = 44 K and T _N2 = 8 K. The magnetic cells can be described with a propagation vector $k=(0.5, 0, 0)$ . Cooling below T _N1, Nd1 and Nd3 order forming ferromagnetic stripes along the b-axis, and the ferromagnetic stripes are coupled antiferromagnetically along the a-axis for the $k=(0.5, 0, 0)$ magnetic domain. Cooling below T _N2, Nd2 orders antiferromagnetically to nearby Nd3 ions. All ordered moments align along the crystallographic c-axis. The magnetic order at T _N1 is accompanied by a quick drop of electrical resistivity upon cooling and a lambda-type anomaly in the temperature dependence of specific heat. At T _N2, no anomaly was observed in electrical resistivity but there is a weak feature in specific heat. The resistivity measurements under hydrostatic pressures up to 8 GPa suggest a possible phase transition around 6 GPa. Our first-principles band structure calculations show that Nd₅Pb₃ has the same electronic structure as does Y₅Si₃ which has been reported to be a one-dimensional electride with anionic electrons that do not belong to any atom. Our study suggests that R ₅Pb₃ (R = rare earth) can be a materials playground for the study of magnetic electrides. To conclude, this deserves further study after experimental confirmation of the presence of anionic electrons.
