Mixed-valent properties of CeSn/sub 3/

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6420258
The compound CeSn/sub 3/ exhibits mixed valent properties that are different from those of such conventional systems like SmS and Ce/sub x/Th/sub 1-x/. A detailed experimental and theoretical investigation of the electronic structure and lattice dynamics of this compound is summarized. The experimental studies have been carried out with polarized and inelastic neutron scattering techniques and low temperature heat capacity measurements in strong magnetic fields. The results shed new light on the d-f admixing mechanism as well as the thermodynamic properties of the Anderson lattice model for the mixed valent compounds.
