Abstract

Pr₃Pd₂₀Ge₆ and Nd₃Pd₂₀Ge₆ crystallize in the cubic C₆Cr₂₃-type structure, which possesses two non-equivalent crystallographic sites for Pr and Nd atoms. We have succeeded in growing single crystals of these compounds. The magnetization and magnetic susceptibility measurements have been carried out using them. In Pr₃Pd₂₀Ge₆, the analysis of magnetic properties by the crystalline field (CF) effect model implies that the ground state of the 4f electron is the Γ₃ non-Kramers doublet for at least one of the two crystallographic sites. On the other hand, the magnetic properties of Nd₃Pd₂₀Ge₆ are well explained by the CF effect model with the 4f electrons having the Σ₈⁽¹⁾ ground state.
