Description

A partial substitution of La for Ce in CeAl3 leads to large anomalies in the low temperature specific heat, presumably of magnetic origin, and results in a strong reduction of γ. Magnetic fields up to 14 T have little effect on the temperature position of the anomaly in Ce0.8La0.2Al3 but attenuate its magnitude. Specific heats of Ce0.8La0.2Al3 and CeAl3 approach each other in large fields of order 14 T. Magnetic fields increase γ of Ce0.8La0.2Al3. (c) 2000 American Institute of Physics
