Crystal-field splittings in CeX (X = N, P, As, Sb, Bi) compounds

The unusual and interesting physical properties of rare earth intermetallic compounds have their origin in the combination of strongly correlated 4f states and their hybridization with the conduction electron sea, which gives rise to their complex low temperature Kondo behavior. In particular, Ce co...

description The unusual and interesting physical properties of rare earth intermetallic compounds have their origin in the combination of strongly correlated 4f states and their hybridization with the conduction electron sea, which gives rise to their complex low temperature Kondo behavior.

Among the cerium compounds, those of the type CeX, which crystallize in the rock salt structure, exhibit extremely unusual magnetic properties.
