Abstract

Abstract: We succeeded in growing single crystals of Ce2 PtIn8 and CePt2 In7 by In self-flux method. We performed the single crystal X-ray diffraction and determined the lattice parameters and atomic positions. We also obtained cubic-like crystals with the typical size of 1×1×1 mm 3, in which Ce2 PtIn8 thin layer grows on CeIn3 single crystal surface. This structure implies a peritectic growth of Ce2 PtIn8 on most likely the CeIn3 (100) surface. The electrical resistivity of CePt2 In7 shows sharp kink at the Néel temperature of 5.5K, and exhibits the Fermi liquid behavior.
