Abstract

The ferromagnetic heavy fermion compound Ce3RhSi3 was studied by means of electrical resistivity, Hall effect, thermoelectric power and Nernst coefficient measurements. Below T ≍ 30 K, all the transport characteristics were found to behave anomalously as functions of temperature and magnetic field. In particular, the Hall and Nernst coefficients at low temperatures exhibit pronounced and strongly field-dependent maxima, likely possessing the same microscopic origin, which however cannot be captured by available theoretical models.
