Diagnosis of acute abdomen before laparotomy is essenti...

CeAl2 has attracted considerable attention because of its unusual properties including a proposed competition between Kondo compensation and anti-ferromagnetic spin-density wave ordering observed at low temperatures. Here we present results of a self-consistent spin-polarized LMTO band study of CeA^. In its paramagnetic state the Ce-f band is about 1 eV wide and, although principally above Ej.,...
