| We report on the investigation of recently discovered heavy fermion compounds within the Ce-Pd-In system. Single crystals of CenPdmIn3n+2m (n=2, 3, 5; M=1, 2) and Ce4Pd10In21 were synthesized from In-flux. Specific heat measurements of the multiphase CenPdmIn3n+2m system revealed a superconducting transition at Tc=0.69 K arising from Ce2PdIn8 and another, magnetic transition at Tm=1.67 K arising from either Ce3PdIn11 or Ce5Pd2In19. Low-temperature data of Ce4Pd10In21 display ferromagnetic long-range order below 0.8 K. |
