Abstract
Elastic neutron-scattering experiments performed in the low-carrier system CeP show interesting magnetic diffraction patterns under a magnetic field. They can be explained by the stacking of the ferromagnetically coupled double Ce layers among the antiferromagnetically coupled layers with a period of eleven Ce layers along the field direction, even though the crystal-field level energy of is 160 K. The result gives direct evidence for the existence of the magnetic-polaron state in CeP proposed by Kasuya et al.
