Abstract
We have measured the isothermal magnetization of UBe13 to 60 T in a pulsed magnetic field. The measurements were made over a temperature range of 0.5 to 4 K. The data are well fit by both a J = 1/2 Brillouin function model an d a simple band model. Both fits extrapolate to a saturation moment of 1.9 +/- 0.2 mu(B)/U atom. Our results suggest that a metamagnetic transition in UBe13 is unlikely.
