Abstract
Ce Cu 2 can be classified as a Kondo lattice which shows antiferromagnetic (AF) order below TN=3.5K [R. Trump et al., J. Appl. Phys. 69, 4699 (1991)]. The orthorhombic crystal and the simple AF magnetic structure with two magnetic moments in the primitive unit cell requires two magnon modes which are observed in zero and low magnetic fields and well described by spin wave theory. However, at higher fields, at and above 3T, an unexpected, additional magnetic excitation is observed. In contrast to the two low-energy magnon modes, it exhibits a steeper (factor 2) field dependence and a flat dispersion. Its origin is unclear.
