Polarized neutron scattering techniques have been used to study the spatial distribution and temperature dependence of the magnetization induced by an externally applied magnetic field in a single crystal of CeCu/sub 6/, a heavy-fermion compound that remains paramagnetic and non-superconducting down to approx.10 mK. The measurements were performed at 4.2 K and 92 mK in an applied magnetic field of 50 kOe. We find that the induced magnetization is predominately of 4f electronic character and exhibits Pauli-like behavior in the 4.2 K to 92 mK temperature region. 17 refs., 2 figs.
