Abstract

The microscopic details of the suppression of antiferromagnetic order in the Kondo-lattice series Ce1-&ITx&ITLa&ITx&ITCu2Ge2 due to nonmagnetic dilution by La are revealed through neutron diffraction results for x = 0.20, 0.40, 0.75, and 0.85. Magnetic Bragg peaks are found for 0.20 <= x <= 0.75, and both the Ned temperature T-N and the ordered magnetic moment per Ce mu linearly decrease with increasing x. The reduction in mu points to strong hybridization of the increasingly diluted Ce 4f electrons, and we find a remarkable quadratic dependence of mu on the Kondo-coherence temperature. We discuss our results in terms of local-moment- versus itinerant-type magnetism and mean-field theory and show that Ce1-&ITx&ITLa&ITx&ITCu2Ge2 provides an exceptional opportunity to quantitatively study the multiple magnetic interactions in a Kondo lattice.
