We present the magnetic and transport properties of single crystalline U2PdSi3 measured with the magnetic field (H) (or measuring current, I) applied along two typical crystallographic directions, i.e. -axis and -axis (or -axis and -axis). For both directions, a spin-glass state is confirmed to form at low temperature with the same spin freezing temperature Tf (= 11.5 K), initial frequency shift δTf (= 0.023) and activation energy Ea/kB (= 90.15 K) in zero dc field. Strong anisotropy in magnetic and transport behavior is found to be a significant feature of U2PdSi3. The unusual ferromagnetic-like anomaly in ac susceptibility and dc magnetization curves around Tm = 71 K is observed in the case of -axis but not in the cases of -axis. The characteristic temperature Tir, below which evident irreversible magnetism originated from random spin freezing can be observed, shows much stronger field dependence for -axis than for -axis. Moreover, an unusual finding is that the electrical resistivity measurements indicate the formation of magnetic Brillouin-zone boundary gaps and much larger magnetic scattering for -axis, while the coherent-Kondo-effect-like behavior is obvious for -axis. We also emphasize that no resistivity minimum can be detected down to 2.5 K for either direction. The observed magnetic and transport behaviors are compared with those in polycrystalline U2PdSi3 and other 2:1:3 intermetallic compounds.
