Complex magnetic phases in non-centrosymmetric heavy fermion CeCoGe3*

The non-centrosymmetric nature of the tetragonal heavy fermion system CeCoGe3 has attracted much interest in the high pressure superconducting state of the material. We have explored the related ambient pressure magnetism using neutron scattering. There are three successive phase transitions at $T_{N1}\sim21$K , $T_{N2}\sim12 $K and $T_{N3}\sim8$K. The upper transition greatly enhances the susceptibility and there are meta-magnetic transitions in the lower T phases. We confirmed the previously determined AFM spin structure for $T_{N2}
