Abstract
The strong influence of changes of the chemical composition on the formation of a heavy-electron ground state is demonstrated in uranium intermetallic compounds crystallizing in the cubic structure. The most spectacular effect is the large enhancement of the low-temperature electronic specific heat in when one Pt atom per formula unit is replaced by Au. may be a heavy-electron superconductor.
