Anisotropic spin fluctuations in cubic CeSn3

  • 1. Ames Laboratory and Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011

Description

The low-temperature high-field heat capacity of a CeSn3 single crystal was found to develop an anisotropy for H>2.50 T with the magnetic field parallel to the [100] and [110] directions. The magnetic susceptibility of CeSn3 below 5 K was also anisotropic with chi110>chi100 by approx.5% at 1.8 K. For the first time ever an anisotropic quenching of spin fluctuations in any highly enhanced paramagnet has been observed
