摘要
We have reinvestigated the metallographic RuSi phase diagram and could establish the transition temperature from the low temperature FeSi-type to the high temperature CsCl-type structure for stoichiometric samples. Magnetic and transport properties of the low temperature modification in the temperature range 1.5 K<T<300 K are presented and discussed. FeSi-type RuSi is found to be semiconducting but still in the extrinsic regime at room temperature. Below 100 K, an additional gap opens and at temperatures <40 K variable-range hopping conduction sets in as the dominant transport mechanism. In contrast, resistivity measurements on CsCl-type RuSi show simple metallic behavior. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
