Abstract

We have performed the ultrasonic measurements to examine systematic change of the magnetic-phase diagrams of the Kondo compound Ce_xLa_1-xB₆ with the Γ₈ ground state as a function of cerium concentration x. A long-range ordered phase IV is observed in addition to an antiferroquadrupolar phase II and an antiferromagnetic phase III in the compounds of x = 0.75, 0.70 and 0.65. The huge softenings of C₄₄ in phase IV indicate considerable enhancement of the quadrupolar fluctuation with Γ₅ symmetry. With decreasing cerium concentration x, the ground state of Ce_xLa_1-xB₆ at low temperatures under low-magnetic fields changes from the ordered phase IV to a non-magnetic state due to the Kondo effect in vicinity of x ∼ 0.60.
