Abstract

A single crystal of Ce₃ Rh₄ Sn₁₃ has been investigated by means of electrical resistivity at low temperatures and in high magnetic fields. Measurements have been performed with field parallel to the [1 0 0] and [1 1 0] direction. Several transitions, first and second order ones, are observed, which originate from the entrance into a different antiferromagnetic states. Our data complement the phase diagram derived in previous work. We speculate that the origin of the antiferromagnetic transitions is related to the slight off-stoichiometry of the sample.
