We present and analyze measurements of the electrical resistivity, the dc- and ac-susceptibility and the specific-heat of the quasi-binary alloy U ( Pd 1− x Ni x )2 Al 3 in the temperature range from 0.3K to 300K. All investigated properties indicate a continuous change from UPd 2 Al 3 to UNi 2 Al 3, with the exception of superconductivity, which dissappears for 0.12 ≤ x ≤ 0.95. The results stress the importance of crystal field effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
