Description

The double hexagonal compound UPd3 has been shown to undergo several successive phase transitions below 8 K. These low temperature phases are antiferroquadrupolar ordered ones with different AFQ order parameters. In-field measurements on UPd3 reveal a complex response of these phases on magnetic fields, leading to a very rich magnetic phase diagram. Here, for the first time we present resistivity measurements and a magnetic phase diagram for single crystalline lowly doped samples U(Pd1-xPtx)3, x≤0.01, and compare these measurements to pure UPd3. We find that doping leads to reduced ordering temperatures but leaves the underlying physics of the AFQ ordered phases unaffected.
