Abstract

We analyze the temperature dependence of the specific heat and the quadrupole susceptibility for CePd₂Al₃, in which the Kondo effect coexists with the crystalline electric field (CEF) excitation. The calculation is carried out systematically by using the numerical renormalization group method. The ratio Δ/T_K⁰ (Δ: the CEF excitation energy, T_K⁰: the Kondo temperature for the fictitious system of Δ = 0) is estimated to be about 1.2 from the data of magnetic specific heat. The observed softening of C₃₃ mode at very low temperature, which is expected to vanish in hexagonal compound such as CePd₂Al₃ from the conventional CEF theory, is explained by considering the Kondo effect.
