Abstract

We report on the detection of two narrow peaks of positive magnetoresistivity in the temperature dependence of the magnetoresistivity of a Fe0.95Co0.05Ge2 single crystal in the vicinity of a “smeared” first-order phase transition. The position of these peaks correlates with the position of singularities in the temperature dependence of the temperature derivative of the electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility. We show that these singularities in the transport and magnetic properties are, probably due to the presence of two percolation transitions with temperature in the magnetic subsystem of the crystal.
