摘要：
The compound U2Ru2Sn is known to crystallize in the tetragonal U3Si2-type structure and is believed to be a weak paramagnet. We report electrical resistivity studies on this compound which seem to indicate semiconducting behaviour at low temperatures and hence a gap formation in this compound. This is evidenced from a sharp rise in the resistivity seen at low temperatures similar to that observed in the so-called Kondo insulators. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
