Popis: We have investigated the low temperature properties of the narrow-gap semiconductor SmB6 by means of electrical resistivity and specific heat measurements. Results imply that the residual resistivity below about 3 K is non-activated and the corresponding state, which is formed within the in-gap states, has a metallic-like nature. Heat capacity measurements confirmed the metallic-like properties of the in-gap states and revealed, moreover, an enhancement of the specific heat below 2 K which is more expressive for the sample with a lower amount of impurities. The observed behaviour can be attributed to the formation of a coherent state within the in-gap states of this compound.
