Abstract
The resistivity ρ, magnetic susceptibility χ, and specific heat C were measured for a single crystal of the valence-fluctuating hexagonal system CeRhSn. Strong anisotropy in both the resistivity (ρa > ρc) and magnetic susceptibility (χc > χa) was found. A hump appears in ρc(T) below 7 K, where both C/T and χ exhibit strong upturns. Power-law behaviors χ c ∝ T-1.1 and χa ∝ T -0.35 were found below 4 and 16 K, respectively, down to 0.4 K. These results suggest the presence of unquenched moments in the quasi-Kagome lattice.
