✦ Synopsis

By studying the transformation of transport, calorimetric and magnetic properties of UxTh ~ xBe13 (0.64~<x~<1) solid solutions, we have found that U0.gTh0.1Be13 displays a non-Fermi liquid ground state which corresponds to the two channel Kondo effect (TCKE). For the first time, together with the anomalous temperature dependences of the thermodynamic properties, we have observed that the resistivity changes as the square root of temperature, as had been predicted theoretically for TCKE.
