Magnetic propertiesD 9000 Magnetic Behavior of Binary Intermetallic Compound YPd3. — The title com-

pound, a possible hydrogen storage material, is characterized by powder XRD and magnetic and electrical resistivity measurements. YPd3 crystallizes in the cubic space group Pm3m in a well-defined ordered crystal lattice, free from any detectable impurity phase. It shows predominant diamagnetic behavior at high magnetic fields. However, the compound exhibits anomalous magnetic behavior at low fields. — (PANDEY, A.; MAZUMDAR*, C.; RANGANATHAN, R.; J. Alloys Compd. 476 (2009) 1-2, 14-18; Saha Inst. Nucl.
