Hexagonal CePdAl is a geometrically frustrated heavy-fermion compound that orders antiferromagnetically below TN = 2.7 K in an incommensurate structure. Magnetic order can be continuously suppressed, e.g. by Ni doping on the Pd site. At a Ni content of ≈ 14% the transition is fully suppressed and a quantum critical point is reached. Due to geometrical frustration only 2/3 of the magnetic moments show long-range ordering (LRO), while 1/3 only exhibit short-range order (SRO). In thermodynamic measurements a strong anisotropy between the c-axis and the ab-plane has been observed. Here we present our neutron diffraction investigations of the (anisotropic) q-space dependence of the LRO and SRO signal in CePdAl below and above TN.
