Thermal expansion, heat capacity and magnetostriction of RAl${}_3$ (R = Tm, Yb, Lu) single crystals

S L Bud'ko, J C Frederick, E D Mun +2

We present thermal expansion and longitudinal magnetostriction data for cubic RAl3 (R = Tm, Yb, Lu) single crystals. The thermal expansion coefficient for YbAl3 is consistent with…
