Anomalous Magnetic Properties of URuGa

We present data of the magnetic susceptibility χ(T) and electrical resistivity ρ(T) for the hexagonal URuGa (space group P6̅2m). Below 7 K, χ increases rapidly and the data can be described by the expression χ(T) = χ(0)(1-a√T). ρ(T) in zero field follows the activated form: ρ(T)∼ exp(E$\text{}_{a}$/2k$\text{}_{B}$T ) with E$\text{}_{a}$ = 1.9 meV. In an applied magnetic field of 1 T, the resistivity varies as ρ(T)∼ bT. Between 18 and 250 K the resistivity is linear in -lnT and consistent with a Kondo-like effect.
