Abstract
We report a continuous evolution of Fermi surface properties with temperature in a dilute Kondo alloy of Ce 0.02 La 0.98 Ru 2 Si 2 via measurements of the de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) effect. The temperature variation of resistivity in this alloy exhibits a typical impurity Kondo behavior, i.e., the resistivity increases with decreasing temperature proportionally to -log T and becomes nearly constant below about 0.3 K. The Kondo temperature of this alloy is estimated to be about 1.3 K. The frequency of the dHvA oscillation from the main hole surface decreases with decreasing temperature implying that the hole surface shrinks with decreasing temperature. The temperature dependence of the frequency change is found to be similar to that of resistivity. The temperature dependence of this dHvA oscillation amplitude deviates largely from that expected from the Lifshitz–Kosevich formula conventionally employed to determine the effective mass from the temperature dependence. By assuming that the scattering of the co...
