Is FeSi a Kondo insulator?
Abstract
FeSi exhibits a Curie-like susceptibility accompanied by a moderate electronic conductivity at high temperature. At low temperature the magnetic susceptibility goes to zero, and a small charge gap appears. We discuss phenomenological and theoretical aspects of the relationship between FeSi and various rare-earth correlated systems often referred to as Kondo insulators.
