We report on the magnetic properties of CeCoGe 3 by measuring the electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and specific heat, together with the magnetic properties of a reference compound LaCoGe 3 . The measurements were performed on a single crystal grown from a high-temperature solution using a third element, bismuth as flux. From the magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements, CeCoGe 3 is an antiferromagnet with a Néel temperature T N1 =21 K and undergoes two successive transitions T N2 =12 K and T N3 =8 K. The magnetization for H ∥[001] indicated a metamagnetic transition with three steps. We constructed a magnetic phase diagram from the magnetization measurements, which is very complex and is roughly similar to the previous result performed on a polycrystalline grain-aligned sample.
