Abstract:Structural and physical properties of Y5Ir6Sn18 grown from Sn-flux as large single crystal are studied. Y5Ir6Sn18 crystallizes with unique type of structure [space group Fm-3m, a = 13.7706(1) Å], which...
Yb5Rh6Sn18 is a valence fluctuating system with a unique structural arrangement characterized by the enlarged Friauf polyhedra incorporating rattling Sn atoms, which causes additional phonon scattering and thus, reduction of thermal conductivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
