Zusammenfassung: | Binary amorphous alloy system CexMn100-x shows the dense Kondo behavior in the Ce-rich side. This fact is confirmed by the large T2 coefficient A of electrical resistivity at low temperature and also the large linear specific heat coefficient gamma. The result of logA versus loggamma2 plot for Ce-rich samples shows the systematic change, but deviates from the Kadowaki-Woods (KW) relation. If we take the orbital degeneracy of Ce 4f-electron into account, according to Kontani's recent analysis, the result satisfies the generalized KW-relation. Therefore, present amorphous Ce-Mn alloy seems to form the dense Kondo state or the heavy-fermion state at low temperature. |
