Abstract

The temperature dependence of the specific heat and of the resistivity under pressure has been measured for single crystals of the semiconductor Ce₃ Au₃ Sb₄. The transport data follow an exponential activation and variable range hopping at low T, consistent with weak disorder and localization, while C / T has a - ln T dependence with large entropy. Thus the properties of Ce₃ Au₃ Sb₄ are very different from those of ordinary Kondo insulators.
