Abstract
Experimental results for the susceptibility, magnetization, specific heat, occupation number, Hall effect, and magnetoresistance for single crystals of the intermediate valence (IV) compound show that, in addition to the Kondo temperature scale , there is a low temperature scale for the onset of Fermi liquid coherence. Furthermore, the crossover from the low temperature Fermi liquid regime to the high temperature local moment regime is slower than predicted by the Anderson impurity model. We suggest that these effects are generic for IV compounds and we discuss them in terms of the theory of the Anderson lattice.
