Abstract
Transport and calorimetric properties of Kondo lattice system CeNi2Al3 are reported. CeNi2Al3 shows good agreement with Grand Kadowaki-Woods relation with degeneracy of the quasi-particle N=6. The nonmagnetic nature of CeNi2Al3 is evident from resistivity measurement even though magnetic elements Ce and Ni are present. Three signatures, deviation from the normal metallic behaviour in resistivity above 140 K, relatively low charge carrier concentration (1021 cm−3) and energy gap Eg~11.6 meV obtained from two band model shed light on the most basic notions related to the semimetal nature of CeNi2Al3.
