✦ Synopsis

We present the experimental results of the specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity of single crystals of UxLa l_xPdEAl 3. As the uranium atom is replaced by the lanthanum atom, the N6el temperature is rapidly decreased. For x = 0.5, the ferromagnetic phase transition occurs and the feature is similar to a weak itinerant ferromagnet. It is found that both the electrical resistivity and the magnetic susceptibility cannot be scaled with uranium concentration. The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity suggests the local nature of the spin fluctuations.
