Abstract

We have succeeded in growing single crystals of the cerium-transition metal intermetallics CeTSb₂ (T: Cu, Au, Ni) with the tetragonal structure via the self-flux method, and measured the electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and specific heat. CeCuSb₂ and CeAuSb₂ are antiferromagnets with Néel temperatures of 6.9 and 5.0 K, respectively. CeCuSb₂ is a heavy-fermion antiferromagnet with an electronic specific heat coefficient γ = 200 mJ/K²mol. CeAuSb₂ also is a similar compound with an antiferromagnetic easy axis along the [001] direction. CeNiSb₂ is a ferromagnet with a Curie temperature of 6.0 K. The easy axis is oriented along [100], with a moment of 0.6 μ_B/Ce.
