Abstract
The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, the magnetization at 4.2 K in fields up to 35 T, and the specific heat between 1.3 and 40 K in fields up to 5 T of the ternary Ce intermetallic compounds CeCuX (X = Si, Ge, Sn) have been studied. All three compounds form in ordered ternary structures related to the hexagonal AlB2 type. Ferromagnetic order is found below 14.9 K for CeCuSi and below 10.2 K for CeCuGe. The magnetic order of CeCuSn below 8.6 K is of antiferromagnetic type but probably complex, as indicated by a double peak in the specific heat and the occurrence of a very low zero-field moment.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
