SUSCEPTIBILITY, SPECIFIC-HEAT, AND TRANSPORT-PROPERTIES OF CEAUGE ANDGDAUGE

The intermetallic compounds CeAuGe and GdAuGe (ordered CaIn2-structure type) were prepared by are melting the elements. The specific heats c (p)(T) were measured between 1.5 and 50 K, the thermal conductivity la mbda(T) and the electrical resistivity rho(T) from 1.5 to 300 K. GdAuG e shows antiferro-, CeAuGe a ferromagnetic ordering at T-N 16.9 K and T-C 10.0 K, respectively. The magnetic, electronic, phononic and cryst al field contributions to Cp(T) are separated and discussed in connect ion with measurements of the susceptibility chi(T) The contributions t o lambda(T) and chi(T) are discussed in relation to the magnetic prope rties.
