Description

We present x-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity measurements on two series of compounds: CeIn1-xMxCu2 (M = Al, Ga and Sn) and Ce In(Cu1-xTx)2 (T = Fe, Ni, Pd and Pt) with x≤0.2. The change in electrical resistivity with alloying is discussed in terms of the effect of this on the Kondo interaction and crystalline electric field splitting. These are influenced by two different mechanisms: the unit-cell volume and the number of conduction electrons of the systems. (author)
