Two Energy Scales in CePd3

Authors:

Abstract
We report anomalies in the temperature- and pressure-dependent electrical resistivity of CePd3 and its alloys that occur on a temperature scale ≈ 40 K, which correlates with the scale for the neutron-scattering from-factor (5d susceptibility) anomaly. We outline an argument that the reported effects demonstrate the existence of an energy scale Tcoh [related to the single-ion spinfluctuation scale Tsf by a factor 1(2J+1)] over which coherence develops among spin fluctuations on different sites.
