Abstract: | We discuss the relation between the T2 coefficient of electrical resistivity A and the T-linear specific-heat coefficient gamma for heavy-fermion systems with general N, where N is the degeneracy of quasiparticles. A set of experimental data reveals that the Kadowaki-Woods relation, A/gamma2=1 x 10(-5) muOmega cm(K mol/mJ)2, collapses remarkably for large-N systems, although this relation has been regarded to be commonly applicable to the Fermi liquids. Instead, based on the Fermi-liquid theory we propose a new relation, A /gamma2=1 x 10(-5) with A =A/1/2N(N-1) and gamma =gamma/1/2N(N-1). This new relation exhibits an excellent agreement with the data for the whole range of degenerate heavy fermions. |
