Break-junction experiments on the Kondo semiconductor CeNiSn: tunnelling versus direct conductance

The rare-earth Kondo semiconductor CeNiSn is investigated by point-contact and tunneling spectroscopy using mechanically controllable break junctions. I(V) characteristics and their derivatives are recorded for contacts from the metallic to the tunneling regime at temperatures between 0.1–8 K and in...
