Description

We have succeeded in growing a high-quality single crystal of UPtGa5 and measured the de Haas-van Alphen effect and high-temperature magnetic susceptibility up to 800 K. These experimental results indicate that a crossover effect of the 5f electrons from the localized nature at high temperatures to the itinerant one at low temperatures occurs in an antiferromagnet UPtGa5.
