Filled skutterudite compounds with a chemical formula AT4X12 (A= rare earth, actinide,
alkaline, or alkaline earth elements; T= Co, Ni, Rh, etc.; X= pnictogen) have been intensively …

Here, we report on a new kind of compound, XδIr4X12− δ (X= P, As), the first hole-doped
skutterudites superconductor. We provide atomic-resolution images of the caging As atoms …

A novel ternary phase has been identified in the U-Pd-Ge ternary system with composition U
13 Pd 47 Ge 25. Single crystal and powder X-ray diffractions indicate a cubic structure …

Thermoelectricity has made much progress during the past dozen years or so with new
prospective materials being discovered and the established thermoelectric structures have …

The crystal structures of filled skutterudite compounds M Pt4Ge12 (M= Sr, Ba, La—Nd, Sm,
Eu) with LaFe4P12 type structure were refined from single crystal XRD data. Displacement …

State of the art variable composition structure prediction based on density functional theory
demonstrates that two new stoichiometries of PN, PN3 and PN2, become viable at high …

We report the results of magnetization measurements on the unconventional
superconductor PrPt4Ge12 in its superconducting state. A distinct positive curvature is …

The intermetallic compound Y 3 Pt 4 Ge 13 has been synthesized by high-pressure high-
temperature technique. It crystalizes with its own noncentrosymmetric type of crystal …

The filled skutterudite compound CePt 4 Ge 12 is situated close to the border between the
intermediate valence of Ce and heavy-fermion behavior. Substitution of Ge by Sb drives the …

We performed a comparative study of the superconducting gap in the new filled skutterudite
superconductors LaPt 4 Ge 12 and PrPt 4 Ge 12 using high-resolution photoemission …
