摘要：

Sm-based filled skutterudite phosphides SmFe4P12, SmRu4P12 and SmOs4P12 synthesized at high temperatures and high pressures have been studied by specific heat measurements in magnetic fields. SmFe4P12 shows an anomaly at 1.6 K attributed to a ferromagnetic transition. SmRu4P12 shows a metal-insulator transition at 16 K. This transition consists of two successive transitions, which suggests orbital and antiferromagnetic orderings. SmOS4P12 shows a sharp anomaly at 4.5 K due to an antiferromagnetic ordering. We discuss the characteristic behavior of those phase transitions and the crystalline electric field state in SmT4P12 (T = Fe, Ru and Os). Interestingly, the magnetic entropy of SmFe4P12 have only 0.16R ln 2 below the ferromagnetic ordering temperature. This suggests a strong spin fluctuation effect. On the other hand, the variation of magnetic entropy in SmRu4P12 and SmOs4P12 reaches to nearly R In 4 below the ordering temperature.
