Abstract

Inelastic neutron scattering measurements have been carried out to investigate the crystal field (CF) excitations of CeB₂C₂. The crystal field excitations have large energy widths, indicating strong hybridization between the localized 4f electrons and the conduction electrons. The analysis of the data, based on a crystal field model, gives good agreement with both the measured heat capacity and the saturation magnetization at low temperatures.
