Similarities in Magnetic Behavior of Cerium and Plutonium Compounds

Abstract
The first sizable single crystals have been prepared of plutonium compounds. The field and temperature dependence of magnetization of single-crystal PuSb is highly evocative of that of CeSb or CeBi, and PuSb gives anisotropy and magnetic structural behavior as expected from hybridization-mediated interionic interactions for moderately delocalized f-electron systems.
