Abstract

We have carried out inelastic neutron scattering measurements on a Kondo insulator CeRhAs over a wide energy range. Our low-energy studies with an incident energy of E_i = 20 meV do not show any evidence of magnetic scattering below 20 meV. On the other hand, measurements done with E_i = 500 meV exhibit a spin gap of 150 meV. The spin gap energy of 150 meV we found appears to be consistent with the Kondo temperature of ∼ 1530 K estimated from bulk susceptibility.
