Abstract

The compound CeNi9Si4 has been recently reported to be an unusual Kondo lattice with a large Ce-Ce separation, with a breakdown of the Kadowaki-Woods relationship governing the low-temperature electrical resistivity and heat capacity. Here we report the results of magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity and electrical resistivity of the solid solution Ce1−xLaxNi9Si4, to understand the Kondo behaviour of this compound. The results establish that the observed properties of Ce in this compound are single-ionic in character.
