NMR and magnetic susceptibility of CeCu6

NMR and magnetic susceptibility of CeCu₆ intermetallic compound were investigated. The most important contributions to the magnetic susceptibility are the Curie-Weiss term, expressing the paramagnetism of the localized f-electrons, and a temperature independent term for which all the contributions were estimated. The phenomenological exchange constantJ _sf between 4f — electron spins and conduction — electron spins is derived to be ?0·012 eV. The Knight shift and Curie temperature are discussed in terms of the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida theory and in the Rocher's virtual bound states model. The s — f exchange integralΓ and the Fermi wavevectork _F are derived to be — 0·8 eV and 1·32 Å^?1, respectively.
