摘要
Muon spin rotation (mu SR) spectra in the non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) heavy-fermion alloys UCu5-xPdx (x = 1.0 and 1.5) and CeCu5.9Au0.1 yield estimates of the rms width (delta chi)(rms) of the inhomogeneous susceptibility distribution in these systems. In UCu5-xPdx, the temperature dependence of (delta chi)(rms) indicates a wide distribution of Kondo temperatures T-K, resulting in a significant number of uncompensated U spins with low T-K which cause NFL behavior. In contrast, mu SR lines in CeCu5.9Au0.1 are too narrow for such ''Kondo disorder'' to account for NFL properties unless, as seems unlikely, the correlation length for the susceptibility disorder is long in this alloy.
