The heat conductivity and electrical resistivity of a polycrystalline YbAgC
u4 sample were measured in the 4.2-300-K temperature range. It is shown tha
t at low temperatures (in the region corresponding to the coherent Kondo la
ttice) the Lorenz number behaves in accordance with a theoretical model dev
eloped for heavy-fermion materials. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
