Abstract

The resistivity of mixed-valent EuPtP is strongly anomalous and anisotropic with a maximum ratioρ c /ρ ab of about 30. Along thec-axis, the resistivity reaches values up to 600 μΩcm in the temperature range between the two phase transitions near 200 and 240 K, thus approaching the limit for metallic conduction. Characteristics of the voltage-dependent differential resistance of point-contacts between Pt or Mo needles against EuPtP show structures related to the antiferromagnetic order at 8.6 K and the partial ferromagnetic order around 25 K.
