Hexaboride compounds are a subset of borides with many interesting thermal, electrical,
magnetic and physical properties. As such, interest has grown in this class of ceramics not …

Rare earth (RE) borides have yielded systems exhibiting interesting and varied magnetic
behaviors. The electron deficient boron atomic frameworks are a good combination with rare …

Cerium hexaboride is a cubic f-electron heavy-fermion compound that displays a rich array
of low-temperature magnetic ordering phenomena which have been the subject of …

Boron-based clathrate materials, typically with three-dimensional networks of B atoms, have
tunable properties through the substitution of guest atoms, but the tuning of B cages …

The heat capacity (C p) and dilatation (α) of YB 12 and LuB 12 are studied. C p of the zone-
melted YB 12 tricrystal is measured in the range 2.5–70 K, of the zone-melted LuB 12 single …

Most of the experimental results presented in this book would not have been possible to
obtain without high-quality single-crystalline samples. The history of chemical synthesis and …

We report a detailed study of specific heat, electrical resistivity, and optical spectroscopy in
the superconducting boride LuB 12 (T c= 0.4 K), and compare it to the higher T c compound …

We present measurements of the magnetization and electrical resistivity of TmB12, ErB12
and HoB12 singlecrystalline samples as well as of a DyB12 polycrystalline sample. Data …

We have investigated the low temperature properties of LuB 12 by measuring its magnetic
susceptibility, heat capacity, and electrical resistivity, as well as by point-contact …

We report a detailed study of specific heat, electrical resistivity, and thermal expansion in
combination with inelastic neutron and inelastic x-ray scattering to investigate the origin of …
