Abstract
The magnetic properties of the tetragonal RRh2Ge2 compounds (R = Gd, Tb, Dy ) have been studied on single crystals. They exhibit a complex low-temperat ure behavior due to the interplay of exchange and crystal field interaction s. In particular several successive phase transitions occur below the Neel temperature, and metamagnetic field-induced transitions are present at low temperature. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
