The reduced s–d model with antiferromagnetically coupled impurity spins is tested on specific heat measurements of (La1−xCex)Al2 for varying Ce concentration c and magnetic field B. The s–d exchange coupling constant J, conduction bandwidth D and coupling between impurities γ2 are...

The reduced s-d model with antiferromagnetically coupled impurity spins, previously tested on susceptibility measurements of (La1−xCex)Al2, is applied to CePd2Ga3. The s-d exchange coupling constant J, and conduction bandwidth D are adjusted to obtain the best fit of theoretical specific heat...
