Abstract :
[en] Magnetic susceptibility studies of the U2Pd2In single crystal show that in the paramagnetic state larger χ-values are found for field along the basal plane than along the c-axis. However, below TN = 37 K, where U-moments form a non-collinear magnetic structure within the basal plane, a cross-over of the two χ-branches occurs. The single crystal results may explain the origin of the exotic magnetization results obtained on powder samples.
