Abstract

Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on cubic U₃Ni₃Sb₄ reveal well defined crystal field and spin - orbit excitations, consistent with a U⁴⁺ 5f² configuration of the uranium ion. The magnetic ground state is a crystal field singlet. U₃Cu₃Sn₄ shows a broad inelastic response extending out to 70 meV, consistent with moderately strong hybridisation between the 5f electrons and the 3d electrons of the copper.
