The Ce atoms in CeIrSn form a quasikagome lattice in the hexagonalplane. Our single-crystal x-ray diffraction analysis has confirmed the absence of superstructure in the ZrNiAl-type structure. Motivated by the recent observation of quantum critical behaviors in the isostructural and isoelectronic compound CeRhSn, we have studied low-temperature properties of single-crystalline samples of CeIrSn by measuring the electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, and specific heatdown to 0.05 K. Our study does not show evidence of a long-range magnetic ordering down to the lowest temperature. Thedata show an Ising character,, and power-law behaviors at low temperatures:and. When external fieldis applied along theaxis, bothandexhibit metamagnetic anomalies at 5.5 T, which resemble those observed in CeRhSn at 3.5 T. We attribute the metamagnetic crossover under in-plane magnetic fields to the alleviation of magnetic frustration inherent in the quasikagome Ising Kondo lattice.
