The temperature dependence of the magnetization, the electrical resistivity, and the Hall effect has been measured for 11 different uranium concentrations in single crystals of U x La 1Ϫx S and is compared with corresponding data for U 0.2 ͑La 0.15 Y 0.85 ͒ 0.8 Te and UTe. While the electrical transport data for diluted UTe show maxima related to crystal-field splittings, such structures are absent in all sulfide compounds. The magnetic susceptibility of the sulfides, measured up to 1200 K, is fitted by the sum of a Curie-Weiss and a Pauli paramagnetism term in second-order approximation. In a quasi-free-electron model the variation with the uranium concentration of the Fermi energy, the carrier concentration and the effective mass is derived. It is found that the degree of localization varies nonmonotonically and, in a certain range, contrary to the U-U separation. It is concluded that hybridization and magnetic exchange play dominant roles. ͓S0163-1829͑96͒00921-6͔
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.
