Elastic, Thermal, Magnetic and Transport Properties of Kondo Compounds CeRhIn and CeRhSn

Elastic moduli, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity have been measured for single-crystalline Kondo compounds CeRhIn and CeRhSn with the hexagonal ZrNiAl-type structur...

Elastic properties of ferromagnetic Mott insulator YTiO3

Abstract YTiO3 has attracted interests because of a Mott insulator with a ferromagnetic transition at T c ≃29 K . We have measured temperature dependence of elastic moduli for a high-quality single-crystal of YTiO3 around Tc using an ultrasonic technique. It is plausible that the elastic anomaly at Tc arises from a usual magnetostriction effect.

Elastic properties of

A macroscopic strain, which is expected to emerge spontaneously, was not detected by powder x-ray diffraction in the temperature range between 4.2 and 300 K. To search the spontaneous strain, we have carried out thermal expansion measurements on a single-crystalline sample along the a, b, and c axes using a capacitance technique with the resolution of
