Neutron scattering from α-Ce at epithermal neutron energies

Abstract

Neutron scattering data, using neutrons of incident energies as high as 2 eV, on α-Ce and α-Ce-like systems such as CeRh2, CeNi2, CeFe2, CeRu2, and many others that point clearly to the substantially localized 4f electronic state in these systems are reviewed. The present interpretation is contrary to the widely held view that the 4f electrons in these systems form a narrow itinerant electron 4f band.
