Abstract

CePt2_2In7_7 is a new heavy fermion system with a structure similar to the CeMIn5_5 system but with greater two-dimensional character. We report the synthesis and characterization of phase pure polycrystalline material, which reveals an antiferromagnetic transition at TN=5.2T_N = 5.2 K. Nuclear Quadrupolar Resonance (NQR) studies indicate that the antiferromagnetism is commensurate and exhibits strong antiferromagnetic fluctuations in the paramagnetic state.
