Abstract

We observed the de Haas-van Alphen oscillations of a Pauli paramagnetic compound YbPb 3 and an antiferromagnetic compound EuPb 3 . Detected Fermi surfaces in YbPb 3 are three in number, which are well explained by the FLAPW band calculations. The cyclotron effective masses are in the range from 0.21 to 0.60 m 0 . The paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic Fermi surfaces were detected in EuPb 3 . The former Fermi surface is the same as in YbPb 3 , which is seen by magnetic breakdown. EuPb 3 is a divalent compound whose magnetic properties were studied by the specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and high-field magnetization experiments.
