The electrical resistivity of single crystals having high residual resistivity ratios was measured down to 1.6K. The temperature dependence below 30K, caused by phonon scattering, exhibited a Tn behaviour, with n = 4.2±0.1 for LaB6. For samples with a residual resistivity ratio of 160, no transition into the superconducting state was observed down to 5mK.
