• Magnetic and Electrical Properties in CePtSi3 without Inversion Symmetry in the Crystal Structure

Abstract

We succeeded in growing a single crystal of CePtSi₃ with the tetragonal BaNiSn₃-type crystal structure by the Sn-flux method. CePtSi₃ is found to be an antiferromagnet with successive two transitions at T_N1=4.8 K and T_N2=2.4 K. The magnetization for H||[100] indicates two metamagnetic transitions at H_c1=1.8 kOe and H_c2=15 kOe and saturates above H_s=45 kOe, with an ordered moment of 1.15 μ_B/Ce. The [100] direction is an easy-axis in magnetization, while the [001] direction corresponds to a hard-axis. The anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility and magnetization is very similar to that of pressure-induced superconductors of CeRhSi₃ and CeIrSi₃, which is commonly ascribed to the crystalline electric field effect.
