Abstract

We report magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity, and low-temperature heat capacity data for La-doped CemRhnIn3m+2n (m = 1, 2; n = 0,1) antiferromagnetic heavy-fermion compounds. Antiferromagnetism is smoothly suppressed by La doping and TN extrapolates to zero at xc≈40% for the m = 1, 2; n = 1 tetragonal variants and at xc≈65% for cubic CeIn3. Our results are discussed in terms of the quasi-two-dimensional character of CeRhIn5 and Ce2RhIn8 as compared to their cubic relative CeIn3. For CeRhIn5, short-range magnetic order and non-Fermi-liquid behavior are observed for higher La concentration.
