Measurements of thermodynamic and transport properties of EuC${}_2$: a low-temperature analogue of EuO

O. Heyer, P. Link, D. Wandner +2

EuC${}_2$ is a ferromagnet with a Curie-temperature of $T_C\simeq 15$K. It is semiconducting with the particularity that the resistivity drops by about 5 orders of magnitude on co…
