Magnetism, disorder and frustration in heavy-fermion compounds

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

We examine the magnetic properties of four strongly correlated electron compounds based upon the presence or absence of crystallographic disorder and geometric frustration. All four materials (URu2Si2, CePd2Al3, UNi4B and URh2Ge2) exhibit unusual and not fully understood behavior in their magnetic ordering that are surprising for stoichiometric intermetallic compounds. We summarize these behaviors and relate them to the appearance of disorder and frustration
