Abstract
Thex dependence of the low-temperature electronic specific heat in the UAs1-xSbx series gives evidence for an electronic transition involving the electron band with predominant 5f symmetry. This is indicated by a decrease of the electronic specific-heat parameter γ by a factor of 20 betweenx=0.5 andx=0.8. The transition does not destroy the metallic character of the compounds withx>0.8, as evidence by the value of γ and the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of USb.
