Research Abstract |
NMR, ultrasonic, Raman scattering, X-ray scattering, and inelastic neutron scattering experiments were carried out to clarify the properties of the ground state in caged compounds. (1) The rattling motions of guest atoms in type -I clathrates correspond to the characteristic temperature scale of 20-30 K, and strongly interact with conduction electron states. Significant electron-local phonon coupling leads to enhancement of various physical quantities. (2) The heavy fermion behavior in ROs4Sb12 is attributed to the correlation between the conduction electrons and the lowest energy excitation, either rattling state or crystal electric field (CEF) state. (3) The primary order parameter of SmRu_4P_<12> is found to be an octupole T^α, or T^β. (4) Phonon anomalies in GdB_6 and DyB_6 are expected to be caused by strong electron-phonon interaction. (5) The structural phase transition observed in RT_2Xn_<20> is attributed to rattling transition due to the strong electro-phonon coupling. In PrIr_2Zn_<20>, the rattling transition is suppressed and the antiferroquadrupolar ordering occurs at T_Q.
