Popis: We present results of transport and magnetic properties of three single- -crystalline samples of the intermediate valence small-gap semiconductor SmB6 at low temperatures. The received resistivity dependences of the sam- ples below 0.5 K exhibit an activated behavior with an energy gap of a few mK. The temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility show an increase below 15 K which can be accounted for by impurities, by bare Sm3+ ions or by a small amount of in-gap magnetic 4f 5 5d 1 states.
