The heavy-fermion system CePdAl is a model system to investigate magnetic frustration in a metallic material. An arrangement of the Ce moments on a distorted kagomé lattice in the basal plane together with a strong Ising anisotropy leads to geometric frustration. This results in a complex interplay with the RKKY and Kondo interaction, where only two thirds of the magnetic moments are long-range ordered, whereas the remaining third is frustrated and/or screened by the Kondo effect below the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature of 2.7 K. Using different in-plane tuning parameters like magnetic fields and especially uniaxial pressure, we investigated the stability of the complex magnetic order. Thereby, we were able to stabilize the magnetic order under moderate uniaxial pressures of up to 1 kbar.
