摘要
We report on low-temperature magnetisation measurements on single crystals of the cubic heavy fermion compound CeIn3-xSnx. A metamagnetic-like transition in fields B < 10 T is observed above T-N in the paramagnetic state of samples with x less than or similar to x(c). The field B*, at which the transition occurs, is lowered with increasing x, i.e. decreasing strength of correlations in the system. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
