Abstract
In this work a search for a 4f Ce ground state in CeMn 2Ge 2 is performed based on results of magnetic hyperfine field (MHF) measurements made with time differential perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy on 140Ce isotope and with the aid of first-principles electronic structure calculations within the GGA+ U framework. It was found that after tuning the Hubbard-like parameter U eff within density-functional-theory in order to match for the observed MHF, the crystalline-field-split Γ 6 state appears as the most probable ground state. It is also shown that Γ 6 is in accordance with the known Kondo-lattice parameters in CeMn 2Ge 2.
