Magnetisation, Susceptibility and Heat Capacity Studies of PuPd3

We have measured the magnetic susceptibility of polycrystalline PuPd3 from 2 to 300 K, and the magnetisation in fields up to 7 T at temperatures from 2 to 50K. Our measurements show a well-defined anomaly in the susceptibility which we attribute to the onset of antiferromagnetic ordering. The heat capacity measurements also show clear evidence of this transition.JRC.E.6-Actinides researc
