Abstract
The electrical resistivity, the thermopower, the X-ray powder diffraction and the magnetic susceptibility of α- and β - Ce3Al were studied. α - Ce3Al was found to undergo a crystal phase transition of a first order, at about 100 K, keeping the same crystal structure but with a change of its unit cell volume of an amount of 1.8 %.
