Phase diagram and critical points of Ce alloys (invited)

Abstract
The pressure-temperature phase diagram of Ce0.9−xLaxTh0.10 alloys is presented for 0.1≤x≤0.17. Two critical points are found in this range of compositions. The data are shown to be consistent with an analysis based on the known Fermi-liquid behavior of Ce in compounds and alloys. The possible appearance of β phase at intermediate pressures is noted.
