Specific Heat and Susceptibility across the Entire Mixed Valence Regime: Ce(Pd1xRhx)3 and Ce(Pd1yAgy)3

Abstract
For the first time, both specific heat and susceptibility have been measured in a system which spans the entire mixed-valence range in a continuous manner. Ce ions in Ce(Pd1xRhx)3 and Ce(Pd1yAgy)3 go from tetravalent (nf=0) for x>~0.20 to trivalent (nf=1) for y>~0.13. Both γ and χ(0) increase dramatically as nf varies from 0 to 1. Comparisons to theories are presented.
