CEF scheme investigation of newly synthesized Ce2PtIn8
Due to the tunable interplay between magnetism and superconductivity the CenTmIn3n+2m (n, m = 1, 2; T = Co, Ir, Rh, Pd, Pt) family of heavy fermion compounds has been attractive for thorough studies of the two cooperative phenomena. We have successfully prepared Ce2PtIn8 - a new phase from this family. Ce2PtIn8 single crystals were grown out of indium flux. Specific heat, electrical resistivity and magnetization measurements revealed that Ce2PtIn8 orders antiferromagnetically below 2.1 K. A second magnetic transition is observed just below at 2 K. The aim of the proposed experiment is to reveal the scheme of the crystalline electric field (CEF), which is very important for the heavy fermion ground states in these materials.
