Description

The electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat of CeNiAl4 and CeNi2Al5 have been measured. It is found that the orthorhombic CeNiAl4 is a new dense Kondo compound in a valence-fluctuation regime and is nonmagnetic above 1.6 K. A broad peak in the resistivity is observed at a fairly high temperature, around 130K, which reflects the coherence of the Kondo scattering. The orthorhombic CeNi2Al5 is also a new dense Kondo compound with a Neel temperature of 2.6 K. The maximum of the resistivity is observed at 4.0 K. (orig.)
