Electrical-resistance anomalies in a Ce-Ru-Sn phase
Abstract
We present the results of electrical-resistivity, ρ (1.4-300 K), and magnetic-susceptibility, χ (4.2-300 K), measurements on a ternary Ce-Ru-Sn alloy with the starting composition CeRu4Sn6. It is found that this alloy exhibits characteristics of dense Kondo systems. The total resistivity of this alloy mimics the behavior of ρ in some Ce compounds exhibiting a hybridization-induced energy gap.
