The influence of crystalline electric field on the magnetic properties of CeCd3X3 (X = P and As)

Obinna P. Uzoh, Suyoung Kim, Eundeok Mun

CeCd${}_3$P${}_3$ and CeCd${}_3$As${}_3$ compounds adopt the hexagonal ScAl${}_3$C${}_3$-type structure, where magnetic Ce ions on a triangular lattice order antiferromagnetically below $T_\te…
