Encina, S., and P. Pedrazzini. "Low Temperature Thermoelectric Power of Ce(Pd{1-x}Cux)2Si2." Journal of Low Temperature Physics 179, no. 1-2 (2015): 21–27.
Abstract: We present the thermoelectric power S(T) of the Ce(Pd 1−x Cu x ) 2 Si 2 alloy for temperatures \(1.5\,\mathrm{K} K. We observe three characteristic features across the \(0 substitution range: two positive maxima and a negative minimum, that are typical for Ce compounds that display, or lie close to, magnetism. Our analysis of the data shows that the high- T maximum is related to the Kondo effect on excited crystal-field levels, but that the low- T one cannot be simply associated with the Kondo scale, TK . We speculate that disorder induced by alloying can be at the origin of this discrepancy and can also be responsible for the low S(T) measured at low temperatures in the \(0.2 concentration range. We have extended electrical resistivity measurements on Ce(PdCu)Si 2 ( x=0.5 ) down to T∼40 mK in applied fields as high as 16 T.

Abstract: Electrical resistivity measurements of amorphous Zr70Cu30 as a function of the concentrations of two level systems show that a Kondo like theory cannot explain the observed temperature dependence.

Abstract: Recent studies show that the non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior of MnSi and Fe spans over an unexpectedly broad pressure range, between the critical pressure p and around 2p. In order to determine the extension of their NFL regions, we analyze the evolution of the resistivity ρ(T)˜A(p)T at higher pressures. We find that in MnSi the n=32 exponent holds below 4.8GPa≈3p, but it increases above that pressure. At 7.2 GPa we observe the low-temperature Fermi liquid exponent n=2 whereas for T>1.5K, n=53. Our measurements in Fe show that the NFL behavior ρ˜T extends at least up to 30.5 GPa, above the entire superconducting (SC) region. In the studied pressure range, the onset of the SC transition reduces by a factor 10 down to Tconset(30.5GPa)=0.23K, while the A—coefficient diminishes monotonically by around 50%.

Abstract: We report measurements of the temperature and pressure dependence of the electrical resistivity (Ï) of single-crystalline iron-based chalcogenide Cs0.8Fe2Se2. In this material, superconductivity with a transition temperature Tc~30K source develops from a normal state with extremely large resistivity. At ambient pressure, a large “hump†in the resistivity is observed around 200 K. Under pressure, the resistivity decreases by two orders of magnitude, concomitant with a sudden Tc suppression around pc~30K. Even at 9 GPa a metallic resistivity state is not recovered, and the Ï(T) “hump†is still detected. A comparison of the data measured upon increasing and decreasing the external pressure leads us to suggest that the superconductivity is not related to this hump.
