摘要
The valences of rare earth ions in R3Au3Sb4 are well defined to be 3+, giving rise to semiconducting properties for R = La, Ce, Pr and semi-metallic properties for R = Sm, Gd. Ce3Au3Sb4 shows no magnetic order down to 1.5 K and C/T is 2500 mJ/mol K2 at 1.5 K. Sm3Au3Sb4 and Gd3Au3Sb4 are antiferromagnets with a T(N) of 2 and 11 K, respectively. Ce3Pt3Sb4 is a mixed-valent compound. The semiconducting properties in Ce3Au3Sb4, Ce3Pt3Sb4 and their alloys suggest strongly that the origin of an energy gap in Ce3Pt3Sb4 is a band gap.
