Abstract:
The heat conductivity and electrical resistivity of a polycrystalline YbAgCu4 sample were measured in the 4.2–300-K temperature range. It is shown that at low temperatures (in the region corresponding to the coherent Kondo lattice) the Lorenz number behaves in accordance with a theoretical model developed for heavy-fermion materials.
