Specific heat of Nd1−xCaxB6 single crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We measured the heat capacity on random alloys of Nd1−xCaxB6 (x < 0.4) in the 0.4 to 300 K temperature range. We calculated the lattice contribution to the specific heat, arising from the Debye-type phonons of the boron framework and Einstein-type oscillators of the cation sublattice. Subtracting lattice and Schottky-type contributions from the measured heat capacity, we find that the electronic portion, linear in temperature, decreases sharply upon doping with Ca.

Magnetotransport measurements on Nd1−xCaxB6
We performed measurements of the Hall effect, electrical resistivity, and magnetization on random alloys of Nd1−xCaxB6 (x < 0.4) in the 2 to 300 K temperature range, and in magnetic fields of up to 5 T. We find that a large anomalous contribution to the Hall effect, observed in NdB6 single crystals in the paramagnetic regime, decreases sharply with Ca content. In addition, the electron concentr...
متن کاملLow temperature transport and specific heat studies of Nd1-xPbxMnO3 single crystals
Electrical transport and specific heat properties of Nd1−x Pbx MnO3 single crystals for 0.15 x 0.5 have been studied in the low temperature regime. The resistivity in the ferromagnetic insulating (FMI) phase for x 0.3 has an activated character. The dependence of the activation gap on doping x has been determined and the critical concentration for the zero-temperature metal–insulator transition...

Single Crystals of Nd1−xCa1+xMnO4 have been prepared by the traveling floating-zone method, and possible evidence of a charge -orbital density wave in this material presented earlier [PRB68,092405 (2003)] using High Resolution Electron Microscopy [HRTEM] and Electron Diffraction [ED]. In the current note we present direct evidence of charge-orbital ordering in this material using heat capacity ...

متن کاملJump in specific heat at the superconducting transition temperature in Ba(Fe1â‹TMxCox)2As2 and Ba(Fe1â‹TMxNix)2As2 single crystals
We present detailed heat capacity measurements for Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 and Ba(Fe1−xNix)2As2 single crystals in the vicinity of the superconducting transitions. The specific-heat jump at the superconducting transition temperature (Tc), ΔCp/Tc, changes by a factor of ∼10 across these series. The ΔCp/Tc vs Tc data of this work [together with the literature data for Ba(Fe0.939Co0.061)2As2, (Ba0.55K0.4...
