Corrigendum: Physical properties of single crystalline BaSn₅[Philos. Mag. 92 (2012) p.3006]

Low-field anomalous magnetic phase in the kagome-lattice shandite Co3Sn2S2

“…1. Previous studies of the magnetization process of the half metallic ferromagnet Co 3 Sn 2 S 2 26,27 have explored high axial anisotropy in temperature and field dependences of the magnetization 28,29 . The Curie temperature, T C , and the spontaneous moment, M s , at 2 K in the easy c-axis were reported as 174 K and ~0.3 µ B /Co, respectively.…”

Electron-phonon interaction and superconductivity in hexagonal BaSn5

“…Table 1 presents the calculated values of the equilibrium lattice parameters (a, c), the internal parameter z, the bulk modulus B and its pressure derivative B . Our results are also compared with available experimental data [7,8] in this table. The calculated lattice parameters (a, c) and the internal cell parameter are in good accordance with their experimental values [7,8], with a maximum difference of 2.0%.…”

“…Recently, Fässler et al [5][6][7] showed that the electronic properties of BaSn 3 , SrSn 3 and BaSn 5 are similar to those of the A15 superconductors V 3 Si and NbSn 3 . In particular, the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility [7] shows that BaSn 5 is superconductor with T c = 4.4 K. Recently, Lin and co-workers [8] have presented the synthesis of high-quality single crystalline BaSn 5 , as well as detailed studies of its transport properties.…”

Superconducting properties ofRh9In4S4single crystals

“…Single crystals of Rh 9 In 4 S 4 were produced using a solution growth technique 22,25,26 . A mixture of elemental Rh, In and S was placed in a 2 mL fritted alumina crucible 27,28 with a molar ratio of Rh:In:S = 55:22.5:22.5…”

“…The ability to change their properties by doping 5,14,15 or pressure 16,17 has recently attracted great attention. Of specific interest, some members of metal-rich chalcogenides 10,[18][19][20] , A 2 M 3 X 2 (A=Sn,Pb,In,Tl and Bi; M =Co,Ni,Rh and Pd; X=S and Se) are superconducting at low temperatures 9,21,22 . Interestingly Bi 2 Rh 3 Se 2 23 is a superconductor that shows a possible high-temperature (∼ 240 K) charge density wave transition.…”
