FIG. 5: (Color online) The figure shows virgin curves of SmPd$_{2}$Al$_{3}$ measured along the easy magnetization axis and their temperature evolution. FIG. 6: (Color online) Temperature dependence of magnetic moment of SmPd$_{2}$Al$_{3}$ measured in selected magnetic fields applied along the c with increasing temperature from the low-temperature ZFC (zero-field cooled) state. 19
