Electrical transport and magnetism in CeFe2Si2 single crystal

We report on results of resistivity and Hall effect measurements performed on a CeFe2Si2 single crystal. The resistivity, studied in the temperature range from 2-300K and in the magnetic fields up to 12T, was found to be field independent, showing no anomaly and no pronounced anisotropy between a- and c-axis in the temperature dependence. The Hall coefficient increases monotonously with increasing temperature. The normal Hall constant at 2K is RH=3.26x10-9m3/C. The susceptibility of the compound is of the order 10-8molm-3 and decreases with the increasing temperature
