On magnetic ordering in NdCu2Sn2 and PrCu2Sn2

We report here our results showing the occurrence of magnetic order in the intermetallic compounds NdCu 2 Sn 2 and PrCu 2 Sn 2 . For comparison, non-magnetic analogue, LaCu 2 Sn 2 , was also prepared. X-ray diffraction (XRD) result confirms that all the three compounds form in the tetragonal CaBe 2 Ge 2 -type structure. A cusp is observed at ∼3 K in the magnetic susceptibility of NdCu 2 Sn 2 and PrCu 2 Sn 2 , which arises due to the antiferromagnetic ordering of the magnetic moments in these two compounds. The bulk nature of magnetic order in both the compounds is confirmed from the observation of peaks in the heat capacity at the magnetic transition temperature. X-ray absorption measurements at the L III edge show that Pr ions are in the trivalent state in PrCu 2 Sn 2 .
