We have carried out point-contact spectroscopy measurements on CeCu6and CeAl3to study these heavy fermion states. Temperature and magnetic field dependences of the point-contact spectra were observed in detail. At the lowest temperature of 0.4 K, differential resistance spectra of CeCu6and CeAl3as function of bias voltage exhibit each distinct minimum structure and additional small peak structure. Temperature evolutions of these spectra started at temperatures related to the Kondo effect, although the minimum and the peak structure emerged in reverse between both spectra of two compounds. In magnetic fields, both structures monotonically change with no distinct change without a change of curvature of magnetic field dependence of magnitude of differential resistance at zero bias voltage at critical magnetic field of meta-magnetization. This behavior in magnetic field is different from that of CeAl2, which shows antiferromagnetic ordering. This result may suggest that PCS is able to discriminate between heavy fermion state and antiferromagnetic state.
