Formation and destruction of the heavy-electron ground state in U compounds with AuBe5 crystal structure
Abstract
The strong influence of changes of the chemical composition on the formation of a heavy-electron ground state is demonstrated in uranium intermetallic compounds crystallizing in the cubic AuBe5 structure. The most spectacular effect is the large enhancement of the low-temperature electronic specific heat in UPt5 when one Pt atom per formula unit is replaced by Au. UAuPt4 may be a heavy-electron superconductor. © 1987 The American Physical Society.
