Abstracts

EN

Single crystals of TbPdBi, a representative of the group of half-Heusler bismuthides, were studied by means of magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, electrical resistivity, magnetostriction and thermal expansion measurements. The compound was characterized as an antiferromagnet with the Néel temperature T_{N} ≈5.3 K. Neutron diffraction experiment confirmed the antiferromagnetic ordering and yielded the propagation vector k=(1/2,1/2,1/2). Remarkably, this k vector is in accord with the recently developed theory of antiferromagnetic topological insulators.
