Abstract
Metamagnetism with three-step processes due to spin-flop is observed at 4.2 K along the b-axis in the orthorhombic CeZn2. In the paramagnetic phase, strong anisotropy in the susceptibilities along each axis appears, indicating significant CEF effects. The observed Ce moment suggests that the Kondo effect should be considered in addition to the CEF effects.
