Electrical resistivity magnetic intermetallic

In the present section we focus on the various chemical and physical properties of the equiatomic YbTX compounds especially the physical properties, which have been intensively investigated in the last two decades. Besides detailed magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity measurements, various other techniques have been used to get deeper insight into the peculiar properties of these intermetallics " Sn and °Yb Mdssbauer spectroscopy, specific-heat data, thermopower measurements, solid-state NMR, photoemission studies, neutron dif action, muon spin relaxation, and a variety of high-pressure experiments. The diverse data are summarized in the following subsections. 

In this section we describe how the specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity of anomalous lanthanide and actinide intermetallics respond to applied pressure. Generally each subsection is organized by material type first Ce-based compounds, then those based on Yb and finally U-based systems. Only in the last subsection on semiconductors are these systematics broken. Although on occasions we digress into a brief discussion of the experimental observations, ihe bulk of critical discussion related to data presented here and in sect. 3 is reserved for sect. 4.
