The Influence of Ce on the Electrical Resistivity and Electronic Structure in the Gd1-xCexIn3 Compounds

Article Preview

Abstract:

All studied Gd1-xCexIn3 compounds crystallize in the cubic AuCu3 - type of crystal structure. The influence of Gd/Ce substitution is reflected in the linear increase of the unit cell parameter. The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity ρ(T) strongly depends on the Ce content. For compounds with x≤0.2 a typical metallic behavior has been observed. In contrary, for Ce-rich compounds (x≥0.5) a characteristic Kondo-type behaviour has been noticed. The analysis of cerium XPS core level lines reveals the occurrence of possible Ce intermediate valence.
