Abstract

We present experimental results of complex susceptibility, static magnetization, magnetic relaxation, specific heat, and electrical resistivity measurements on an intermetallic compound Nd₂AgIn₃. The results indicated that Nd₂AgIn₃ undergoes a spin-glass transition at a freezing temperature T_f=12.6 K accompanied with the formation of short-range antiferromagnetic order. The mechanism of formation of spin-glass state in Nd₂AgIn₃ is different from that in diluted metallic spin-glass or uranium intermetallic compound. The existences of frustrated moments due to the triangles of nearest neighbors in Nd atomic layers and randomly distributed Ruderman-Kittle-Kasuya-Yosida interactions may be responsible for the spin glass state formed in Nd₂AgIn₃.
