Abstract
Metamagnetism observed in some heavy fermion compounds is an intriguing phenomena. To understand this phenomena, we explore the phenomenological mean-field theory for heavy fermion systems without microscopic mechanism. We write an extension of the Landau-like free energy density with the Bragg-Williams entropy. By minimising this free energy density with respect to the sub-lattice magnetizations, we can obtain thermal equilibrium quantities. As examples, the magnetic behaviors of CeRu2Si2(the metamagnetism with crossover) and CeTiGe (the first order metamagnetism) are explained qualitatively, where the scaling hypothesis is used to consult with experimental data under the constant pressure condition.
