Inelastic Neutron Scattering Study of UPd2Sn
We performed inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy on the Heusler intermetallic compound UPd2Sn. The presence of a clear intramultiplet transition between the two lowest-lying 5f electronic states of uranium was clarified, and is consistent with predictions made in the framework of a localised-electron model. The excess molar specific heat is well reproduced by a Schottky curve corresponding to the experimentally measured energy gap if a moderately enhanced electronic contribution is also taken into account.
