The magnetic properties of single crystalline EuPtGe(3), crystallizing in the non-centrosymmetric BaNiSn(3)-type crystal structure, have been studied by means of magnetization, electrical resistivity, heat capacity and (151)Eu Mössbauer spectroscopy. The susceptibility and heat capacity data indicate a magnetic transition at T(N) = 11 K. The Mössbauer data confirm this conclusion, but evidence a slight first-order character of the transition. Analysing the magnetization data using a mean field model with two antiferromagnetically coupled sublattices allows us to explain some aspects of the magnetic behaviour, and to derive the first- and second-neighbour exchange integrals in EuPtGe(3).
