摘要
The intermetallic compound has been tentatively classified as Kondo insulator. This class of material, especially non-cubic representatives, is not yet fully understood. Here we report thermopower measurements on single-crystalline between 2 K and 650 K, along the main crystallographic directions. Large positive thermopower is observed in the directions along which the hybridization is strong and a Kondo insulating gap forms. A negative contribution to the thermopower dominates for the crystallographic axis where hybridization is weak and metallicity prevails.
