Abstract
Resistivity, susceptibility, specific heat and magnetization measurements on single crystals SmPb3, SmPd3 and SmTl3 are performed. The phase transition of the antiferromagnet, SmPb3, is of first order at 5.1 K. SmPd3 shows an antiferromagnetic ordering at 1.36 K. SmTl3 behaves as a ferromagnet with Tc = 8.6 K. The ground states of Sm3+ (J = 5/2) ions in these Sm-compounds are Ɖ8 quartets.
