Sl. Budko et al., EVOLUTION OF PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES IN THE CE1-XLAXFEGE3 SERIES - CROSSOVER FROM KONDO-LATTICE TO SINGLE-ION KONDO IMPURITY SYSTEMS, Journal of physics. Condensed matter (Print), 10(39), 1998, pp. 8815-8828
Evolution of the structural, magnetic, transport and magneto-transport
properties of the Ce1-xLaxFeGe3 series is studied by powder x-ray dif
fraction, Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopy, magnetization and resistivity
in zero and applied magnetic field. Changes from concentrated Kondo sy
stem-like (x less than or equal to 0.3) to single Kondo ion-like (x gr
eater than or equal to 0.65) behaviour are observed. Magneto-resistivi
ty behaviour in both regimes is discussed within the existing theoreti
cal views which include non-negligible 'normal' metal contributions.
