摘要
The electrical resistivity of SmB6 single crystal has been measured down to 50 mK. At temperatures below 3 K a rather complicated behavior of electrical conductivity including the temperature activated and temperature non-activated term was observed. The activated conductivity term can be well described by sigma = c exp [-(T0/T)x] with x equal to or close to 1 and T0 = 2.68 K, while the non-activated conductivity is dominating below about 0.2 K and shows presence of the logarithmic Kondo-like contribution to resistivity. To explain observed results a model based on introducing a fine structure into the hybridization gap is proposed. This fine structure may consist of two narrow low-density bands with a gap between them of few tenths of meV wide.
