Abstract

We have measured the magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, NMR, electrical resistivity, magnetoresistance, Hall effect, thermoelectric power, and thermal conductivity of polycrystalline (formula presented) Some of these properties are compared to those of (formula presented) The experimental data indicate the formation of a narrow energy gap of approximately (formula presented) in (formula presented) Similarities to the behavior of heavy-fermion semiconductors (Kondo insulators) are observed, in particular to CeNiSn. Thus, we believe that (formula presented) may be classified as a heavy-fermion semiconductor.
