Abstract
We report measurements of the specific heatC p(T), electrical resistivity ϱ(T) and magnetic susceptibility ξ(T) of hexagonal CePd2In, at low temperatures. Anomalies inC p(T), χ(T) and ϱ(T) atT=1.23 K, indicate a phase transition, most likely to an antiferromagnetically-ordered phase. The electronic entropy reachesR ln2 per mole Ce at 9.2K, suggesting that the phase transition involves a doublet state. The ordered phase coexists with moderately correlated itinerant electrons.
