摘要
A filled skutterudite, La0.5Rh4Sb12, with a lattice constant of 9.284(2) angstrom was synthesized using a high-pressure technique. The electrical resistivity showed semiconducting behavior and the energy gap was estimated to be more than 0.08 eV. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicated temperature-independent diamagnetism, which originates from Larmor diamagnetism. The electrical properties of this compound are more similar to those of the La0.5Rh4As12 semiconductor with an energy gap of 0.03 eV than to those of the La0.6Rh4P12 superconductor.
