摘要：
We present a study of the spin-wave excitations of Nd in Nd2-xCexCuO4(x = 0, 0.09, 0.15, 0.18) by inelastic neutron scattering. Upon Ce-doping one observes a softening of the spin-wave branches. This is mainly explained by the decrease of the Cu-Nd exchange field at the Nd site, while the Nd-Nd exchange interactions remain almost unchanged. Consequently a high density of states of spin-wave excitations at low energies is created. The resulting calculated specific-heat shows a large gamma = C/T-value at low temperatures, which indicates that the novel heavy-fermion behavior in these compounds is mainly due to magnetic correlations of the Nd ions.
