Abstract

We have grown the single crystals of LaAu $_{2}$ In $_{4}$ and CeAu $_{2}$ In $_{4}$ by high temperature solution method and report on the anisotropic magnetic behavior of CeAu $_{2}$ In $_{4}$ . The compounds crystallize in an orthorhombic structure with space group \textit {Pnma}. LaAu $_{2}$ In $_{4}$ shows a Pauli-paramagnetic behavior. CeAu $_{2}$ In $_{4}$ do not order down to 1.8 K. The easy axis of magnetization for CeAu $_{2}$ In $_{4}$ is along [010] direction. The magnetization data is analyzed on the basis of crystalline electric field (CEF) model.
