Description

A single crystal CeNi4.2Mn0.8 was grown by the Czochralski method from a levitating melt. The structural, magnetic, electrical transport and electronic structure properties were examined. X-ray diffraction confirms the hexagonal structure. The f occupancy nf and the coupling Δ between the f level and the conduction states are derived to be about 0.95 and 100 meV, respectively. The X-ray photoemission spectroscopy shows that Ce ions in CeNi4.2Mn0.8 are in the intermediate valance state. The temperature dependence of resistivity exhibits the metallic character of this compound and reveals a small inflection at 136 K. (copyright 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co.
