We have studied the magnetic properties and specific heat in CeNiSn. It is
found that the peak of susceptibility in CeNiSn, which is not caused by the
long distance antiferromagnetic correlation, shifts to low temperature wit
h increasing the magnetic field. The V-shaped density of states can not exp
lain the shift although it can explain many other experimental results. We
for the first time explain the shift and magnetoresistance measurements by
spin-charge separation. The critical field H(c)approximate to 6T, at which
the spin gap itself closes, and the spin gap Delta (s)approximate to 18K in
CeNiSn are obtained.
