Abstract:
We discuss measurements of the susceptibility, specific heat, and transport properties (electrical and thermal resistivity, thermoelectric power) performed on polycrystalline UAl2 samples. Despite the high disorder of the samples, we observed anomalies in the various quantities, which are believed to be intrinsic to UAl2. Most of these anomalies can be interpreted with the existence of a narrow 5f band at the Fermi level and of paramagnon excitations within this 5f band.
