Single-phase polycrystalline samples and single crystals of the complex boride phases Ti8Fe3Ru18B8 and Ti7Fe4Ru18B8 have been synthesized by arc melting the elements. The phases were characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction as well as energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. They are new substitutional variants of the Zn11Rh18B8 structure type, space group P4/mbm (no. 127). The particularity of their crystal structure lies in the simultaneous presence of dumbbells which form ladders of magnetically active iron atoms along the [001] direction and two additional mixed iron/titanium chains occupying Wyckoff sites 4h and 2b. The ladder substructure is ca. 3.0 Å from the two chains at the 4h, which creates the sequence chain–ladder–chain, establishing a new structural and magnetic motif, the scaffold. The other chain (at 2b) is separated by at least 6.5 Å from this scaffold. According to magnetization measurements, Ti8Fe3Ru18B8 and Ti7Fe4Ru18B8 order ferrimagnetically below 210 and 220 K, respectively, with the latter having much higher magnetic moments than the former. However, the magnetic moment observed for Ti8Fe3Ru18B8 is unexpectedly smaller than the recently reported Ti9Fe2Ru18B8 ferromagnet. The variation of the magnetic moments observed in these new phases can be adequately understood by assuming a ferrimagnetic ordering involving the three different iron sites. Furthermore, the recorded hysteresis loops indicate a semihard magnetic behavior for the two phases. The highest Hc value (28.6 kA/m), measured for Ti7Fe4Ru18B8, lies just at the border of those of hard magnetic materials
Electronic Structure of Noncentrosymmetric Superconductor Li(PdPt3)B Studied by Photoemission Spectroscopy
We have performed x-ray photoemission spectroscopy on the system of
noncentrosymmetric superconductor, Li(PdPt3)B. For
LiPtB, we found 2 major peaks with 2 other weak components, and the
band calculations were in agreement with the observation. The assignment of
valence band features using the calculated partial density of states determined
that Pt 5d and B 2p contribute to the density of states at the Fermi level. The
effect of antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling on the band structure might have
been probed, and the analysis on the effect of Pt incorporation into the system
indicates the smooth evolution of electronic structures. We presented the
measurements of core levels (Pd 3d, Pt 4f, and B 1s) and discussed the chemical
bonding states and electronic structures from them.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figure
