The magnetic and transport properties of single-crystal UNi2Ge2 have been investigated, by means of magnetic susceptibility, resistivity, and Hall-coeScient measurements, from 4.2 to 300 K. A large anisotropy was observed in both magnetic and transport properties. The magnetic susceptibility of UNi&Ge& is Curie-Weiss-like in the paramagnetic state. The resistivity of UNi2Ge& is largely due to magnetic scattering, and the phonon contribution only amounts to 8% of the total resistivity at room temperature. Along the c axis, the resistivity shows a Kondo-type behavior at high temperatures. The temperature dependence of the Hall coeScient can be accounted for by a theoretical model with a magnetic skew-scattering process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
