Popis: Neutron inelastic scattering experiments have been performed on the paramagnetic heavy fermion compound CeRu 2 Si 2 in magnetic field along the crystal c -axis. Around the metamagnetic crossover field H m =7.7 T, the quasi-elastic excitation in the vicinity of the reciprocal lattice point (110) with an energy of 0.4 meV is significantly enhanced at T =0.4 K. The result indicates that the metamagnetic crossover in this compound is associated with a field-induced ferromagnetic correlation. The observation is consistent with the recent theoretical prediction by Satoh and Ohkawa based on quasi-particle band spectrum considerations.
