## Description

- description: Transport and magnetic properties of a 4f 2 fcc lattice compound, PrCdNi4,
    were studied. The magnetic susceptibility, χ(T ), follows the Curie–Weiss law
    from 300 K to 20 K, as expected for a free Pr3+ ion. As the temperature decreases
    below 5 K, χ(T ) approaches a constant, indicating van-Vleck paramagnetic behavior.
    The specific heat, C(T ), displays a broad shoulder at around 4 K, which can be
    reproduced by a doublet-triplet two-level model with an energy gap of 12 K. These
    results suggest a non-magnetic Γ3 doublet ground state of the Pr3+ ion in the
    cubic crystalline electric field. C(T ) exhibits a peak at TO = 1.0 K and this
    peak remains robust against magnetic fields up to 5 T. In powder neutron diffraction
    measurements, no magnetic reflection was observed at 0.32 K < TO. Two anomalies
    at B = 2.1 and 5.3 T in magnetoresistance ρ(B) at 0.05 K likely originate from
    switching in the order parameter. These results indicate that the phase transition
    at TO is ascribed to an antiferro-type order of the electric quadrupole or magnetic
    octupole of the Γ3 doublet in the 4f 2 fcc lattice.
