The simple metallic resistivity potassium The resistivity decreases monotonically as the temperature decreases. 102 R / R290K Residual resistivity(残留抵抗) T (K) Impurity scattering C.Kittel Introduction to Solid State Physics
Kondo effect Discovery of the resistivity minimum in dilute magnetic alloys(希薄磁性合金).(1930’s) The electrical resistivity increases steeply as the temperature decreases In the low temperature region. Jun Kondo has derived the logarithmic increase of the resistivity in the low temperature region.

Coherent Kondo substance CeCu6 • Coherent Kondo substance • Pauli paramagnet (パウリ常磁性)(no magnetic ordering) • Large specific heat coefficient(電子比熱係数) γ= 1.6 J / mole·K2 Crystal structure of CeCu6 Y.Onuki et al., J.Phys.Soc.Jpn. 54 (1985) 1964-1974 The effective mass (有効質量) is 1000 times or more as large as the free electron mass !
Motivation LaCu6 is a normal metal which has the same structure. (no f – electrons) To clarify the process from the incoherent Kondo state to the coherent Kondo state, we can investigate the compound : CexLa1-xCu6 (x=0-1). Dilute (incoherent) Dense(Coherent) Ce density x : 0 1
Experiment Single crystals of CexLa1-xCu6 were grown by the Czochralski pulling method. a large single crystal ! Measurements ・electrical resistivityfrom 300 K~ 18 mK ・magnetoresistance (磁気抵抗効果)
Temperature dependence of electrical resistivity Electrical resistivity increasesas temperature increases in the low temperature region. A maximum appeared around 5-15 K for an x value of 0.73-1.0. Temperature dependence of electrical resistivity in CexLa1-xCu6 f-electrons are itinerant in the low temperature region.
Magnetic resistivity The normal metal ρ( T ) = ρ0 + ρe-e(T) (Matthiessen’s rule) The magnetic substance ρ( T ) = ρ0 + ρe-e(T) + ρm(T) ρm= ρCexLa1-xCu6- ρLaCu6 (magnetic resistivity)

Magnetic field dependence of resistivity Magnetoresistance at 1.5 K Dilute Kondo system ρhas a Maximum around 20 kOe. Because of the suppression of the coherent Kondo effect, the resistivity increases. Itinerant localized The coherent Kondo effect is suppressed by applied magnetic field. Magnetic field dependence of resistivity in CeCu6
Summary • Dilute Kondo effect appears for x = 0.096 – 0.50.Coherent Kondo effect appears for x = 0.73 – 1.0. • Consecutive change from dilute Kondo state to coherent Kondo state occurs. • The coherent Kondo effect is suppressed by applying a magnetic field.
