Description
UAl2 is thought to exhibit ferromagnetic spin fluctuations. We have studied the electrical resistivity of alloys of UAl2 with U replaced by Sc, Y, Zr, La, Ce, or Lu. We find that the spin-fluctuation T2 law at low temperatures changes to a T/sup 3/2/ law with substitution. We also find an unusually large (approx. 10 μΩ cm/at. %) rise in the residual resistivity in these alloys. Both of these effects are independent of substituent and thus must be due to the unusual properties of UAl2. We attribute these effects to f-bond breaking by these substitutions
