摘要：
We present far-infrared optical properties of the heavy-fermion semiconductor U2Ru2Sn. The optical reflectivity in the tetragonal plane shows a pronounced suppression at energies below 60 meV and temperatures below 200 K. These optical properties are similar to those reported for canonical heavy-fermion semiconductors. Narrow phonon-like peaks are observed at unusually high reflectivity values. We interpret the data within a temperature dependent, partial opening of a gap (or "pseudo-gap'') in the quasi-particle excitation spectrum. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
