On the interesting magnetic behaviour of UFe2, CeFe2 and their pseudobinary compounds

Description

New results for the magnetic properties of U(Fe, Al)2, (U, Ce)Fe2, and for the effects of U substitution for Ce on the anomalous behaviour of some Ce (Fe, X)2 alloys (where X = Co or Al) make possible a comparison of the roles of U and Ce in their C15 Laves phases with Fe. It is concluded that in both, hybridization of f-states with d-band states and polarization or spin fluctuations on the f-element sites are important, but that the U 5 f states, presumably by being more extended and more strongly hybridized, are a weaker source of anomalies than the 4f states
