Abstract
CePtSn has been studied by means of neutron scattering, electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Refinement of neutron powder diffraction data showed the crystal structure to be of the orthorhombic TiNiSi-type. Magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed the presence of two antiferromagnetic phase transitions at 8 and 5.5K respectively. Inelastic neutron scattering showed two well defined crystal field excitations at 24.0 and 34.9 meV. The temperature dependence of the resistivity can be understood as arising from the Kondo effect in the presence of crystal fields.
