Intermediate Valence on Dilute Europium Ions

Abstract
Dilute alloys of Eu in ScAl2 show single-ion anomalies in their transport properties. The susceptibility is intermediate between Eu2+ and Eu3+. The Mössbauer isomer shift is intermediate as well as strongly temperature dependent. This is the first case of microscopically confirmed configurational instability in any dilute rare-earth alloy.
