Abstract
Two successive metamagnetic transitions have been observed in single c rystals of Y2Cu2O5 at B-c1 = 3.0 T and B-c2 = 4.8 T for B parallel to b-axis, above which the magnetization gradually increases and saturate s at B-s = 7.2 T. The most interesting point in this study is that the metamagnetic transition has not been supposed in the Cu2+ spin system due to the small anisotropy and never observed in copper compounds so far.
