Transport properties in filled skutterudite GdRu4P12

Magnetic properties of the filled skutterudite-type structure compounds GdRu4P12 and TbRu4P12 synthesized under high pressure

Optical response of a filled skutterudite compound GdRu4P12 due to magnetic ordering

We have investigated the temperature dependence of the optical conductivity of GdRu4P12, which shows an antiferromagnetic ordering below TN 1⁄4 22K. Above TN, the optical conductivity spectra exhibit a Drude-like feature due to the free carriers. However, below TN a new peak was found to develop around 30meV in addition to the narrowing of the Drude component. We assigned this peak to the elect...

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...
