The metallicundergoes a transition to a polar phase below. This unusual property provides a unique opportunity to study the interaction between free electrons and electric dipoles. We report a suite of measurements of physical properties inas a function of temperature, including resistivity and magnetoresistance down to 0.16 K, thermoelectric power, high-precision magnetization, specific heat, and thermal conductivity on textured single-crystal samples. Enhancements from the electron contribution to the specific heat and the paramagnetic susceptibility indicate that electrons inare highly correlated. An anomalously large Kadowaki-Woods ratio also supports the argument of strongly correlated electrons in. In the nonpolar phase above, electrons are coupled strongly to the lattice vibrations, which leads to the resistivity saturation at high temperatures and eventually a crossover to the hopping conduction. The data of thermal conductivity and specific heat are consistent with an order-disorder transition at. The analysis of critical behavior in the resistivity, specific heat, and the thermal conductivity provides useful information for understanding the electron-dipole interaction in.
