Tóm tắt

Polarised neutrons and polarisation analysis were used in a neutron scattering study of UPt3 both above the superconducting transition temperatureT c as well as below. Thus the existence of magnetic fluctuations in UPt3 was established unambiguously. For varyingQ vectors the magnetic scattering intensity was integrated over energy transfers ±20 meV to obtain a measure of the corresponding magnetic correlation function. No indication for strong spatial correlations of magnetisation could be detected. Furthermore inelastic transitions up to energy transfers of 80 meV were observed.
