Popis: | Resistivity measurements under uniaxial stress have been performed on the intermediate valence compound SmB 6 for various directions of the crystal. The experimental technique allows us to explore a limited pressure area (basically 0–3 kbar). Nevertheless, the results clearly show an anisotropy; indeed, the effect of the stress in the decrease of the residual resistivity is much higher in the 1 1 1 > direction than in the 1 0 0 > and the 1 1 0 > orientations. This change is witness to the gap anisotropy which must be linked to the theory of excitonic semiconductors. |
