Formation of Local Magnetic Moments of Ce in Metallic Elements

Abstract

The local susceptibility of extremely dilute Ce ions recoil implanted into more than thirty metallic elements is microscopically observed by perturbed angular $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray distribution techniques. Many elements in which the single Ce ion reflects intermediate or even nonmagnetic behavior have been found. These results allow correlation of the magnetic Ce-ion behavior with matrix-dependent quantities.
