Abstract

We have studied the crystal chemistry, thermodynamic and transport properties of ternary compounds RNi9Si4 with R=La and Ce. The Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction pattern revealed a tetragonal crystal structure (space group I4/mcm) that is derived from the cubic NaZn13 structure type. In the case of CeNi9Si4 resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements reveal Kondo-lattice behaviour with a T2 temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity, an enhanced Pauli susceptibility [small chi, Greek] 0=5×10-3 emu/mol and a Sommerfeld value [small gamma, Greek] =155 (5) mJ/molK2 . The magnetic susceptibility and specific heat contribution is well described by the Coqblin?Schrieffer model with a fully degenerate J=5/2 ground state and a characteristic temperature T0 [similar, equals] 180 K. LaNi9Si4 exhibits simple Pauli paramagnetic, metallic behaviour with a Sommerfeld value [small gamma, Greek] =33 mJ/molK2.
