Title: Pressure-dependent intermediate valence behavior in ${YbNiGa}_{4}$ and ${YbNiIn}_{4}$

Abstract

We report a comprehensive structural and valence study of the intermediate valent materials YbNiGa₄ and YbNiIn₄ under pressures up to 60 GPa. YbNiGa₄ undergoes a smooth volume contraction and shows steady increase in Yb-valence with pressure, though the Yb-valence reaches saturation around 25 GPa. In YbNiIn₄, a change in pressure dependence of the volume and a peak in Yb-valence suggest a pressure induced electronic topological transition occurs around 10-14 GPa. In the pressure region where YbNiIn₄ and YbNiGa₄ possess similar Yb-Yb spacings the Yb-valence reveals a precipitous drop. This drop is not captured by density-functional-theory calculations and implies that both the lattice degrees of freedom and the chemical environment play an important role in establishing the valence of Yb.

Ferromagnetic quantum critical point in ${CePd}_{2} P_{2}$ with Pd $\to$ Ni substitution

Journal Article Lai, Y. ; Bone, S. E. ; Minasian, S. ; ... - Physical Review B

An investigation of the structural, thermodynamic, and electronic transport properties of the isoelectronic chemical substitution series Ce(Pd_1-xNi_x)₂P₂ is reported, where a possible ferromagnetic quantum critical point is uncovered in the temperature-concentration (T-x) phase diagram. This behavior results from the simultaneous contraction of the unit cell volume, which tunes the relative strengths of the Kondo and Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interactions, and the introduction of disorder through alloying. Near the critical region at x_cr ≈ 0.7, the rate of contraction of the unit cell volume strengthens, indicating that the cerium f valence crosses over from trivalent to a noninteger value.

Pressure-driven valence increase and metallization in the Kondo insulator ${Ce}_{3} {Bi}_{4} {Pt}_{3}$

Journal Article Campbell, Daniel J. ; Brubaker, Zachary E. ; Roncaioli, Connor ; ... - Physical Review B

We report the results of high pressure x-ray diffraction, x-ray absorption, and electrical transport measurements of Kondo insulator Ce3Bi4Pt3 up to 42 GPa, the highest pressure reached in the study of any Ce-based Kl. We observe a smooth decrease in volume and movement toward intermediate Ce valence with pressure, both of which point to increased electron correlations. Despite this, temperature-dependent resistance data show the suppression of the interaction-driven ambient pressure energy gap and development of a semimetallic ground state. We also discuss potential ramifications of these results for the predicted topological KI state.

Magnetic properties of double perovskite $L n_{2} {CoIrO}_{6}$ $(L n = Eu, Tb, Ho)$ : Hetero-tri-spin $3 d - 5 d - 4 f$ systems

Journal Article Ding, Xiaxin ; Gao, Bin ; Krenkel, Elizabeth ; ... - Physical Review B

The field of double perovskites is now advancing to three magnetic elements on the A, B and B' sites. A series of iridium-based double perovskite compounds, Ln₂ CoIrO₆ (Ln = Eu, Tb, Ho), with three magnetic elements was synthesized as polycrystalline samples. The compounds crystalize in monoclinic structures with the space group P2₁/n. Magnetic properties of these hetero-tri-spin 3 d-5 d-4 f systems were studied by magnetic susceptibility and field dependent magnetization in both DC and pulsed magnetic fields. All these compounds show ferrimagnetic transitions at temperatures T C above 100 K, which are attributable to antiferromagnetic coupling between Co²⁺more »« less
