The valence of Ce in α-Ce3Al was investigated by means of XPS measurements in a temperature range from 300 K to 3.7 K. Below 120 K, the presence of Ce4+ was detected, and its relative intensity I(Ce4+⁄Ce3+) increased with decreasing temperature. An anomaly of the magnetic susceptibility near 100 K was successfully explained by taking account of the valence change.
