Abstract

Progressive substitution of Cu for Al in UCu4+xAl8−x yields as increasing compression of the unit cell. This results in a reduction of the Néel temperature from ifTN = 42 K for x = 0 to ifTN = 15 K for x = 1.0. No magnetic ordering is found for x ⩾ 1.5. Rather the T-dependence of the resistivity shows a maximum in the range 6 to 15 K and indicates the formation of a Kondo-lattice state. The latter is characterized by heavy fermions (γ(Tå0)≅0.8 J/K2 mol for x = 1.75).
