Abstract
An elastic and inelastic X-ray scattering investigation of the anomalous la ttice properties of the heavy fermion compound CeRu2Si2 is reported. Therma l expansion, thermal diffuse scattering and phonon spectra were measured be tween 300 and 10 K. The static properties reflect the Kondo regime while no anomaly is found in the phonon dynamics. The present experiment also demon strates the possibility of performing inelastic X-ray scattering in strongl y absorbing compounds. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
