Anisotropic transport properties in RTe2 (R: La, Ce, Pr, Sm and Gd)

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

The temperature dependence of electrical resistivity was measured in the single crystals of LaTe2 (#5, #6), CeTe2 (#2, #5), PrTe2, GdTe2 and polycrystalline SmTe2 for I∥ab-plane and I∥c-axis. It shows a strong anisotropy. In stoichiometric CeTe2, especially, the metal-insulator transition is observed at about 150 K and the anomalies due to the competition between the carrier concentrations and the scattering rate are also found at 5.8 and 3 K.
