Deskripsi

Electrons in uranium-based materials are often on the border between localised and itinerant behaviour, which can lead to unusual magnetic behaviour. Here the authors combine experiment and theory to show that USb2 may be an unusually high temperature example of a singlet-ground-state magnet.
