Description
We have succeeded in synthesizing the filled skutterudite compound PrxCo4Sb12 under high pressures. Pr site filling factor was estimated to be about 50+/-10% by powder X-ray diffraction and chemical composition analysis using field emission electron microscope. Apparent expansion of lattice constant 9.09A compared to that of CoSb39.03A is also indirect evidence of successful filling of Pr-ions. In the magnetization and specific heat measurements, no anomaly suggesting phase transition has been found down to 2K
