Popis: A detailed study of resistivity (ρ), Hall (RH) and Seebeck (S) coefficients for high-quality single crystals of CeB6 has been carried out in a wide range of temperatures 1.8–300 K. An anomalous behavior of all transport characteristics (ρ, RH, S) was found in the vicinity of T*≈80 K for a first time. The strong increase of resistivity ρ which follows to a weak localization relation ρ∼T−1/η (critical index 1 / η = 0.39 ± 0.02 ) in the interval 7–80 K as well as an unusual asymptotic behavior of Seebeck coefficient S(T)≃lg T and the pronounced (∼3 times) reduction of the Hall mobility μH values observed below T* allowed us to conclude in favor of crossover between different regimes of charge carriers transport in CeB6 at T*. The low temperature anomalies of the charge transport characteristics are compared with the predictions of the Kondo-lattice model.
