The electrical resistivity under pressure (up to 23 kbar), magnetic susceptibility and specific heat of CeRuSn3 with cubic Pm3n structure were measured between 30 mK and 300 K. The magnetic scattering of the resistivity behaves like a dilute Kondo type. Below 1 K, the ratio C/T remarkably increases

โฆ Synopsis
The conventional route to heavy-fermion behaviour is via a Kondo lattice system. Thereby a lattice of 4f-or 5f-ions couples weakly to a system of weakly correlated conduction electrons. Singlets are formed which lock together at low temperatures and give rise to coherent low lying quasiparticle excitations. Examples are a number of intermetallic compounds involving Ce or U ions, like CeRu2Si 2 or UPt 3. But when the conduction electrons are strongly correlated as in Nd2_xCexCuO 4 a different effect related to the Zeeman splitting seems to be responsible for the formation of heavy quasiparticle excitations. Various aspects and consequences of the two different origins of heavy fermion systems are discussed.
