Description

CexLa(1-x)Ru2Al10 (0.6 x  0.99) has been investigated by means of electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and thermopower. Temperature dependence of electrical resistivity reveals metal-insulator transition that shifts systematically towards low temperatures with increasing La concentration. Fairly small thermal conductivity and enhanced thermopower are observed for x = 0.95 and 0.99.
