M. Ocko et al., Transport properties of CexY1-xCu2.05Si2: A heavy-fermion alloy system on the border of valence fluctuation - art. no. 195107, PHYS REV B, 6419(19), 2001, pp. 5107
We report results of electrical resistivity and thermopower measurements fr
om 2 to 300 K of the CexY1-xCu2.05Si2 alloy system. The data show that the
overall crystal field splitting does not depend on concentration and is the
same as in the CexLaY1-xCu2.05Si2 alloy system. The results are compared w
ith pressure experiments on the CeCu2Si2 compound, with investigations of U
xY1-xPd3 alloys and a recent analysis of the CexLa1-xCu2.05Si2 alloy system
. We show that CexY1-xCu2.05Si2, a heavy-fermion alloy system, evolves towa
rds a valence fluctuation system.
