✦ Synopsis

Specific heat, low-and high-field magnetic susceptibility, thermal expansion, and magnetostriction measurements have been made on single crystals of CeBi and CeSb in order to investigate the low-temperature magnetic phase transitions of these compounds. We have observed structural transitions at the respective N~el temperatures. The maximum tetragonal distortions below T N are of the order of 10-3 in both cases. Specific heat results confirm the unusually small overall splitting of the ground-state multiplet. Applications of external magnetic fields induce a variety of interesting effects and provide insight into the magnetic phase diagram of these substances. The results are discussed qualitatively.

Magnetization and phase sensitive AC susceptibility was measured for the annealed and as-cast samples of ferromagnetic UCu 2 Ge 2 , T C = 107 K. Special attention was paid to the low temperature range, T < 50 K, which is interesting due to the magnetization decrease and frozen AC response. The hyste
