Dynamics of the magnetization in the heavy fermion system CeCu6

We have studied CeCu₆ by inelastic neutron scattering. We found both quasielastic and also inelastic transitions, which we interpret as residual crystal field transitions. The quasielastic linewidth is a strongly nonlinear function of temperature, with approximately _QE=5.0 meV at 300 K, with a crossover _QE=kT at about 13 K and with a residual value of _QE=(0)=0.50 meV forT=0 K. Below 5 K the quasielastic intensityI_QE decreases linearly with temperature. _stI_QE/T is in good agreement with direct measurements of the static susceptibility. The data are fully consistent with a nonordering groundstate of CeCu₆.
