摘要: Abstract The temperature dependence of the specific heat and resistivity under pressure has been measured for single crystals semiconductor Ce 3 Au Sb 4 . transport data follow an exponential activation variable range hopping at low T , consistent with weak disorder localization, while C / a - ln large entropy. Thus properties are very different from those ordinary Kondo insulators.
