Publisher Summary Skutterudite is the name of a CoAs 3-based mineral that was first
extensively mined as a source of cobalt and nickel. This chapter discusses the structural …

We have investigated the resistivity (ρ), thermoelectric power (TEP), and Hall coefficient
(RH) on high-quality single crystals of R Fe 4 P 12. TEP in CeFe 4 P 12 is extremely large …

Specific heat and magnetization measurements have been performed on high-quality single
crystals of filled skutterudite PrFe 4 P 12 in order to study the high-field heavy-fermion state …

We report Sb-NQR results which evidence a heavy-fermion (HF) behavior and an
unconventional superconducting (SC) property in Pr⁡ O s 4 S b 12 with T c= 1.85 K. The …

We report the de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) experiment on the filled skutterudite PrFe 4 P 12
exhibiting apparent Kondo-like behaviors in the transport and thermal properties. We have …

Transport and magnetic properties are reported for ternary skutterudites La 0.83 Fe 4 Sb 12
and Pr 0.73 Fe 4 Sb 12. Physical properties of Pr 0.73 Fe 4 Sb 12 are dominated by crystal …

We have investigated the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect and the transverse
magnetoresistance in filled skutterudite LaFe 4 P 12 and NdFe 4 P 12. The Fermi surface of …

Nature of mysterious phase transition of the filled-skutterudite PrFe4P12 has been studied
by X-ray diffraction experiments. Superlattice reflections characterized by a wave vector …

Elastic properties of PrFe 4 P 12 have been investigated by means of the ultrasonic
measurement. A softening has been observed in the elastic constants C 11, and (C 11− C …

In this work we present a neutron powder diffraction study of the ternary rare-earth
phosphides PrFe4P12 and NdFe4P12. High-resolution measurements of the structural …
