Abstrakt: The nonlinear current-voltage characteristics of a homojunction point contact of 1T-CdI2-type layered crystal TiS2 and its intercalation compound of itinerantmagnetic FexTiS2 have been measured at 1.4 K. For the magnetic samples, both a maximum and a minimum in thedI/dV-V curves are observed within a restricted range of the initial differential resistancesRd(0). Electron-magnon scatterings are responsible for the appearance of the minimum at a bias voltageVB(min), which depends onRd(0). These results are discussed using the conventional “spherical spreading out” model, together with a heating model. The agreement between experiment and theory is apparently good if a large background is taken into account, but with unusually large andRd(0)-dependent Lorenz number.
