Vibronové stavy v cérových krystalických sloučeninách

Doležal, Petr

This thesis is focused on study of the vibron state in Ce intermetallics. The presence of a vibron state is a consequence of an enhanced magneto-elastic interaction, between phonons and 4f electrons of the Ce ion. The magneto-elastic interaction is usually weak and can be neglected, but here in CeAl2, CePd2Al2, CeCuAl3 and CeAuAl3 is considered to be strong enough, which leads to a bound state called the vibron state. A well determined crystal structure of these compounds is a necessary prerequisite to discuss this unique behaviour. Therefore our investigation is performed on the following levels: A crystal structure study of (Ce,La)Pd2Al2-xGax and CePt2Al2, by low temperature and high temperature X-ray powder diffraction; Investigation of bulk and transport properties of a CePt2Al2 single crystal using the specific heat, magnetisation and electrical resistivity measurements; Symmetry analysis of phonon modes and angular momentum operators in the model Hamiltonian, based on group theory; And finally the study of phonon dispersion curves in CePd2Al2 and LaPd2Al2 single crystals using inelastic X-ray scattering. All these results and preformed analyses lead to the following conclusions: The CePd2Al2 and LaPd2Al2 are incongruently melting phases. We found and described the way which has allowed us to...
