Abstract:A quaternary compound, ThCr 2 Si 2 C, was synthesized by using the arcmelting technique. The compound adopts a tetragonal CeCr 2 Si 2 C-type crystal structure. The electronic resistivity and specific heat data exhibit metallic behavior, while the magnetic susceptibility displays a pronounced broad peak at around 370 K, indicating the antiferromagnetic phase transition. The first-principles calculations suggest A-type antiferromagnetic ordering of the Cr sublattice, which is confirmed by neutron diffraction exp… Show more
A quaternary compound, ThV2Si2C, was synthesized using the arc-melting technique. The compound exhibits Pauli paramagnetic metal behavior, and there may be a superconducting state below 2 K.
