Effects of alloying in the Ce(Cu1-xAux)6(x⩽.25)

Abstract
The authors present X-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity, thermopower, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements on a series of Ce(Cu1-xAux)6 compounds with x6 has a non-magnetic ground state, addition of Au leads to the onset of magnetic order (e.g. TN approximately=2 K for the Au alloy with x=0.15). The results also reveal alloying with Au produces modifications in the crystalline electric field scheme.
