Thermoelectric and optical properties of the filled skutterudite YbFe4Sb12

Transport measurements, including magnetoresistivity, Hall resistivity, thermal conductivity, and thermopower, and an assessment of the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT below room temperature are reported on a polycrystalline sample of the strongly correlated electron material YbFe4Sb12 . Neutron diffraction measurements are presented, which reveal large amplitude thermal vibrati...

Filled skutterudite structure of europium ruthenium polyphosphide, EuRu4P12

The crystal structure of EuRu(4)P(12) is isotypic with filled skutterudite structures of rare earth transition metal poly-phosphides: RFe(4)P(12) (R = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and Eu), RRu(4)P(12) (R = La, Ce, Pr and Nd) and ROs(4)P(12) (R = La, Ce, Pr and Nd). The Ru cation is coordinated by six P anions in a distorted octa-hedral manner. The partially occupied Eu position (site occupancy 0.97) is enclo...

Heavy fermion superconductivity in the filled skutterudite compoundPrOs4Sb12

The filled skutterudite compound PrOs4Sb12 has been found to exhibit superconductivity with a critical temperature Tc = 1.85 K that develops out of a heavy Fermi liquid with an effective mass m ∗ ≈ 50 me. The current experimental situation regarding the heavy fermion state, the superconducting state, and a high field, low temperature phase that is apparently associated with magnetic or quadrupo...
