In the course of our investigation of the heavy fermion compound CeCu₆,
we have recently performed measurements of the heat capacity as well as elastic neutron diffraction down to ultralow temperatures. In the last decade, various groups have investigated this compound by means of susceptibility, magnetization, nuclear quadrupole resonance, and thermal expansion as well. There is a strong evidence for a magnetic ordering transition at about 2.5 mK. Here we like to present our latest heat capacity data taken at 0.1 mK ≤ T ≤ 100 K as well as neutron diffraction data taken down to 15 mK. These results give further
hints for magnetic correlation effects in CeCu₆.
