Abstract

CeAgSb₂ crystallizes in the tetragonal ZrCuSi₂ type structure (P4/nmm), which consists of Sb-Ce, Sb-Ag-Ce, Sb-Sb layers. It shows the peculiar anisotropic ferromagnetic ordering below 9.7 K with a small ordered moment of 0.33 μ_B. Its residual resistivity steeply increases above p_c ≅ 3.3 GPa where the magnetic order disappears. It is expected that the p-f mixing on the peculiar hollow square pillar-like Fermi surface plays an important role in CeAgSb₂, while similar Fermi surfaces were not observed in LaAgSb₂. We have measured the anisotropy in the electrical resistivity of Ce_xLa_1-xAgSb₂ to study the p-f mixing effect. Small humps were observed in the temperature dependence of the resistivity in Ce_xLa_1-xAgSb₂. We expected them the CDW transition. The CDW state coexisted with the ferromagnetic state around x = 0.2.
