Abstract

The class of R₂PdSi₃ single crystals (R= rare earth element) with hexagonal AlB₂-type crystallographic structure reveals the systematic dependence of anisotropic magnetic properties governed by the interplay of crystal-electric field effects and magnetic two-ion interactions. Here we compare the floating zone (FZ) crystal growth with radiation heating of compounds Pr₂PdSi₃ and Nd₂PdSi₃. The congruent melting behavior enabled moderate growth velocities of 3 to 5 mmh^-1. The preferred growth directions are close to the basal plane of the hexagonal unit cell. The composition of the crystals, is slightly Pd-depleted with respect to the nominal composition 16.7 at.% Pd. The Pr₂PdSi₃ compound exhibit antiferromagnetic order below the Néel temperatures T_n: 2.17 K and Nd2PdSÍ3 compound order ferromagnetically below the Curie temperature T_c= 15.1 K.
