Abstract
The temperature dependence of the thermoelectric power, , and the electrical resistivity of the magnetically ordered ( and ) were measured for pressures in the temperature range . Long-range magnetic order is suppressed at . Pressure drives through a sequence of temperature dependences, ranging from a behavior characteristic for magnetically ordered heavy fermion compounds to a typical behavior of intermediate-valent systems. At intermediate pressures a large positive maximum develops above in . Its origin is attributed to the Kondo effect and its position is assumed to reflect the Kondo temperature . The pressure dependence of is discussed in a revised and extended phase diagram of .
