CeRuSi is a paramagnetic heavy fermion compound with the electronic specific heat coefficient of 350 mJ/mol K. When a magnetic field is applied along the [001] direction of its tetragonal ThCrSi structure, it exhibits metamagnetic transition at 7.7 T. On the other hand, when a magnetic field is applied in the (001) plane, metamagnetic transition does not occur. This magnetic anisotropy is maintained to lower Ce concentration samples. By replacing Ce with La, CeRuSi changes to antiferromagnet at 0.91 and finally to normal paramagnet of LaRuSi. In very low Ce concentration samples, the impurity Kondo effect is observed. The Kondo temperature of the = 0.02 sample is about 1 K. We have successfully observed all the dHvA oscillations in the dilute Ce concentration samples with fields in the (001) plane. Moreover, we have observed the variation of the dHvA oscillations with temperature crossing the Kondo temperature.
