Description
Specific-heat and magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed on the single-crystalline and polycrystalline samples of SmPd3S4. The magnetic susceptibility does not exhibit a cusp at the Neel temperature TN, which is commonly observed in antiferromagnets, but a first-order like discontinuous decrease below TN. One of the possible origins of a first-order like transition is a simultaneous occurrence of a magnetic-dipolar and a higher multipolar orders.
