16. The field dependence of the specific heat (Fig. 2, inset) has some similarity to that expected for a spin glass compound; e.g., see K. Binder and A.P. Young, Rev. Mod. Phys. RMPHAT 0034-6861 58, 801 (1986). Spin glass behavior, however, would also require trivalent Ce atoms, with vanishingly small TK. Our discussion of the origin of the trivalence remains unaltered for this case. 10.1103/RevModPhys.58.801
