Abstract

In this paper, we present the experimental results of X-ray powder diffraction, electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific-heat measurements as well as Ce-LIII-edge X-ray absorption spectrum of the Ce-based intermetallic compound CeCuSi2. The results revealed that CeCuSi2 is a Kondo-lattice compound with no superconducting or magnetic-phase transition above 0.4 K. In addition, we found spin-glass behavior in the DC susceptibility measurements. The AC susceptibility measurements and the magnetic entropy calculation also confirm the presence of the spin-glass phase. The possible formation mechanism for the spin-frozen state is also discussed in this paper.
