Abstract

We have carried out the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) experiment to clarify the Fermi surface property of an antiferromagnet UPtGa5, and have constructed the magnetic phase diagram from the high-field magnetization measurement. From the dHvA experiment, the Fermi surface is found to consist of four kinds of nearly cylindrical Fermi surfaces along the tetragonal [001] direction, which are approximately explained by the result of the spin-polarized energy band calculations based on the antiferromagnetic structure with a sequence of (↑ ↓) along [001]. Relatively large cyclotron masses are detected for carriers of the corresponding Fermi surfaces, ranging from 10 to 24 m0 (m0: rest mass of an electron). 5 f electrons are thus concluded to be itinerant and also to contribute to the magnetic moment at the uranium sites.
