Abstract

We present results of ac susceptibility measurements highlighting the presence of thermal hysteresis and phase coexistence across the ferro-to antiferromagnetic transition in various CeFe $_2$ based pseudobinary systems. These results indicate that the ferro-to antiferromagnetic transition in these systems is first order in nature.
