Abstract

We review the results of recent studies of the elastic and inelastic neutron scattering from a variety of heavy fermion compounds. This class of materials exhibits a rich variety of ground states: antiferromagnetically ordered, superconducting, semiconducting, and paramagnetic. Neutron scattering from single crystals and powders has been a productive tool for probing the magnetic order and fluctuations in all four cases. This review deals with work on UPt3, UPd2Al3, UNi2Al3, UNi4B, CeNiSn, Y1-xUxPd3, and UCu5-xPdx.
