Notes:
The effect of the substitution of Ni by Cu on the CeNi compound is analyzed by means of susceptibility, magnetization, and magnetoresistance measurements on the pseudobinary CeNi0.4Cu0.6 compound. Down to 2 K, the lowest investigated temperature, the compound does not present any magnetic order, but magnetic measurements suggest an ordering temperature (TC) not far below 2 K. Magnetization and magnetoresistance data show an important Kondo interaction leading to a Kondo temperature (TK) higher than TC. The results are discussed considering the Kondo, magnetic exchange, and crystalline electric field interactions. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
