TRANSPORT-PROPERTIES OF CEB6 - COMPARISON WITH SPECIFIC-HEAT DATA

Electrical resistivity (ρ{variant}), thermal conductivity (K), and thermoelectric power (Q) measurements were performed on a high quality single crystal of CeB6 (ρ{variant}residual = 0.33μΩ cm). Comparison is made with specific heat data obtained on another sample. The low temperature maximum in Q(T) which is associated with a large contribution in K(T), a T4 dependence of ρ{variant}, and a T3 dependence of C, may be due to magnon drag effects. © 1990.
