Measurements of the resistivity, thermoelectric power and thermal conductivity of the heavy fermion compound UBe13 and their relations to the temperature-upper critical field phase diagram are reported. At low temperature (T 1 K), enormous thermoelectric powers are detected in the normal phase. The thermal conductivity obeys a T2 law in the superconducting phase with no supplementary T contribution which is not observed in the other heavy fermion compound UPt3. Abstract 1. Introduction. The discovery of superconductivity in UBe 13 at T~ ~ 0.9 K [1] has revived the debate on the origin of the superconductivity in heavy fermion compounds first found in CeCu2 Si2 [2]. The heavy fermion character of UBel3 is proved by the large value of the ratio of the specific heat C to the temperature T near Tc : Cl T - 1 J/mole/K2 [3]. One of the peculiarities of UBe 13 is that the elec- tron mean free path is extremely short near T~. At 1 K, the electrical resistivity ( p ~ 190 Jl!} cm) [ 1-4] is almost that estimated for the unitary limit; no sign of Fermi liquid behaviour ( p ~ T 2) is detected By contrast with liquid 3 He for which the superfluid transition ( T~ ~ 2 mK) is far below the Fermi temperature TF [5], the definition of TF is not obvious.
