Abstract

Six elastic constants Cii of orthorhombic CePtSn were measured between 1.8 and 300 K by an ultrasonic technique. The crystalline electric field (CEF) parameters were determined from the elastic softening due to the CEF effect. Anisotropic elastic anomalies around the successive magnetic transitions well reflect the subtle change in the spin configuration.
