Description

A transition from the Kondo state to an intermediate-valence state takes place in the quasibinary alloys CeIn3-xSnx with cubic AuCu3-type structure. The effect of pressure P up to 2 kbar on the magnetic susceptibility X of this system was measured at 78, 150, and 295 K. The value of dlnX/dP obtained is well above those observed for similar RE compounds with stable valences. This derivative tends to decrease with temperature, and to increase (but not monotonically) with the tin content x. The experimental data on dlnX/dP(x, T) were analysed in terms of the changes in the spin-fluctuation temperature Tsf. (author)
