Description
As reported earlier, the metal hydride YHx reveals spectacular switchable optical properties. In this Letter we report on another remarkable property of the hydrogen deficient YH3-δ trihydride phase. A logarithmic temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity is observed within a large temperature range (20≤T≤200 K ) for hydrogen deficiencies 0.01<δ<0.15 . This dependence may be related to two dimensional weak localization or Kondo scattering of the conduction electrons. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
