We examine magnetic ordering in CePd2P2 by neutron-scattering experiment and confirmed a ferromagnetic order at low temperatures. From the neutron-scattering data, the ordered moment is evaluated to be similar to 1.3(3) mu(B) per Ce ion at 3 K and is considered to be parallel to the c-axis. In addition, no evidence of the change in the magnetic structure was observed below T-C within the experimental accuracy. In DC magnetization measurement with an as-grown powder sample and a magnetically aligned sample, a clear magnetic anisotropy in CePd2P2 was observed in both ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases. To obtain further insight to the large Curie temperature T-C of CePd2P2, we have examined the magnetic properties of GdPd2P2 as a reference material. In DC magnetization measurement, successive magnetic transitions at T-I = 10.6 K and T-II = 7.4 K were observed in GdPd2P2. By comparing the transition temperatures of the Ce and Gd compounds, we argue the origin of the large Curie temperature of CePd2P2.
