Abstract
Measurements of high-field magnetization up to 18 T, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat have been performed on a tetragonal NdRh 2Ge2 single crystal and polycrystalline sample. From the temperature dependences of magnetic susceptibilities, this compound shows an antiferromagnetic behaviour with Neel temperature of 50 K. Another magnetic transition is observed at 37 K. At low temperatures, a multi-step metamagnetic behaviour is observed along the easy c-axis and a strong magnetic anisotropy is seen. The saturation magnetic moment is estimated to be 2.76 μB/f.u.. There are five magnetic phases below the induced ferromagnetic phase in the H-Tmagnetic phase diagram. To discuss the magnetic behaviours, the CEF analysis has been made.
