Abstract
The high-magnetic-field anomaly at 20 T in heavy-fermion UPt3 has been studied by means of magnetostriction measurements on a single-crystalline sample at liquid helium temperatures. The data for a field direction in the basal plane reveal an orthorhombic distortion of the hexagonal crystal structure. An explanation for this distortion is offered in terms of a (antiferromagnetic) spin-fluctuation model.Keywords
