For a number of (RE, Y)Co2 compounds (RE = Er, Dy, Tb, Gd) the influence of the localized 4f
moments, interacting with the itinerant 3d matrix, is accentuated by subtracting the resistivity of YCo2 from
the observed resistivity values. The results show that spin fluctuation scattering is enhanced not only just
above Tc in the compounds where the induction of the itinerant Co moments starts, but in the whole
paramagnetic temperature range in all investigated compounds. ?? 1991.
