Abstract
In this project we propose the growth and investigation of the crystalline electric field (CEF) effects in the Ce2RhIn8 compounds, pure and doped in the In site. Previous investigations of the similar CeMIn5 (M = Co, Rh, Ir) family indicate that the rich phase diagram of these materials is the result of a subtle balance between the competing RKKY interaction, Kondo and CEF effects, influe…
