| Abstract | In this work, we have studied the structure and physical properties of a series of intermetallic compounds with the general formula CePdxGe2−x (where, x = 0.21, 0.32, 0.69). It was found that the compound crystallizes in three different phases with stoichiometries: CePd0.32Ge1.68, CePd0.21Ge1.79 and CePd0.69Ge1.31 by varying the Pd to Ge ratio. While CePd0.32Ge1.68 and CePd0.69Ge1.31 crystallize in the hexagonal AlB2 structure type with the space group P6/mmm, CePd0.21Ge1.79 crystallizes in the tetragonal α-ThSi2 structure type with the space group I41/amd. CePd0.69Ge1.31 is in fact an ordered superstructure of CePd0.32Ge1.68 with tripling of the c-lattice. Relative changes in the Pd/Ge ratio also impart substantial variation in their magnetic properties, although Ce is in the trivalent state in both the phases. CePd0.21Ge1.79 shows metamagnetic behavior below 10 K whereas CePd0.69Ge1.31 showed ferromagnetic behavior in the same temperature range. In addition to the metamagnetic behavior, CePd0.21Ge1.79 also shows spin glass behavior at low temperature. DFT calculations were used to obtain ulterior information on the CePd0.69Ge1.31 phase. Self-consistent calculations revealed that the ferromagnetic ordering of the ground state arises from the spins at the Ce and Pd sites. The observed sharp rise in the low temperature resistivity of CePd0.69Ge1.31 is an indication of a pseudo-gap formation or possible Kondo behavior in the electronic density of states, enhancing the scattering of the charge carriers. Heat capacity measurements on CePd0.69Ge1.31 suggest that it falls in the category of medium heavy fermion compounds. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
