Résumé :

The resistivity and susceptibility of dilute Cd.Mn alloys have been measured in the helium temperature range. Most of the previous existing data were taken on concentrated samples above the solid solubility limit and needed correction. The susceptibility follows a Curie-Weiss law with θ = 0.1±0.05°K and peff=(4.7±0.3)μB, yielding a Kondo temperature of the order of 25m°K. Even on dilute samples, the impurity resistivity exhibits no deviation from a 1n T dependence within the experimental accuracy. Such deviation from the Kondo 1n T term is expected if one takes into account the most divergent higher order terms in perturbation theory. It is in fact shown that, even for high 77 7K, a better understanding of the observed 1n T dependence can be obtained for instance with Hamann's expression of the resistivity.
