We report a combined study of in-plane resistivity and thermopower of the
pressure-induced heavy fermion superconductor CeAu2Si2 up to 27.8 GPa. It is
found that thermopower follows a scaling behavior in T/T* almost up to the
magnetic critical pressure pc ~ 22 GPa. By comparing with resistivity results,
we show that the magnitude and characteristic temperature dependence of
thermopower in this pressure range are governed by the Kondo coupling and
crystal-field splitting, respectively. Below pc, the superconducting transition
is preceded by a large negative thermopower minimum, suggesting a close
relationship between the two phenomena. Furthermore, thermopower of a variety
of Ce-based Kondo-lattices with different crystal structures follows the same
scaling relation up to T/T* ~ 2.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. Supplementary Material available on reques
