Description

Measurements of the temperature and concentration dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity for U1-xThxPd2Al3 are presented. The magnetic susceptibility data scale with the concentration of U ions over large regions of x and T. The electrical resistivity shows a smooth evolution from the Kondo lattice regime to the single-ion Kondo behavior as Th concentration x is increased. A lack of saturation in resistivity in the samples with x=0.8 and 0.6, and a logarithmic divergence in χ(T) at low temperatures makes the U1-xThxPd2Al3 system a good candidate for a two-channel Kondo effect.
