摘要：

X-ray-absorption fine-structure (XAFS) measurements have been carried out at the Pr L-III and Os L-III edges on the Pr-based heavy-fermion superconductor PrOs4Sb12. The x-ray absorption near-edge structure results suggest that the Pr valence is very close to 3+ with at most a small amount of Pr4+ [v(Pr)similar to3.019(3)], while Os is close to metallic in this material. The extended XAFS results show that the Pr ions rattle inside the Sb cage characterized by a low Einstein temperature (Theta(E)similar to75 K), with a possible very small off-center displacement. They also indicate that the Os4Sb12 framework in PrOs4Sb12 is quite stiff.
