We present the magnetic and transport behavior of some Tb compounds, viz., TbIrGe2, TbFe(0.4)Ge2, and TbCo(0.4)Ge2. The stoichoometric germanide TbIrGe2 exhibits at least two distinct magnetic transitions in a close temperature interval around 10 K. The non-stoichiometric compounds, TbFe(0.4)Ge2 and TbCo(0.4)Ge2, undergo magnetic ordering around 17 and 19 K respectively. The magnetic state of these compouds appears to be antiferromagnetic-like. Qualitatively, there is a correlation between the field response of the magnetization (M), the magnetoresistance (MR) and the entropy change curve in all these compouds. That is, these Tb compounds exhibit a "positive" MR and entropy change beyond a magnetic field where M also shows a field-induced transition. On the basis of this correlaion, we conclude that magnetic disorder/fluctuations beyond a critical field - "a phenomenon called inverse metamagnetism" - rather than metamagnetism,is induced in these compounds.
