Magnetoresistivity of CexLa1−xPd2Al3 alloys (0.1⩽x⩽0.4)

The zero-field resistivity of Ce x La 1− x Pd 2 Al 3 alloys (0.1⩽ x ⩽0.4) is of single-ion character and for 1.4⩽ T ⩽4 K it follows a non-Fermi-liquid ρ 4f = ρ 0 − bT dependence. Application of a field results in a breakdown of single-ion behaviour and in maxima occurring in isofield resistivity curves. Magnetoresistivity data for T ⩾13 K follow the single-ion Schlottmann description and leads to a Kondo temperature T K =23(1) K .
