摘要
Rare-earth rhenium borides REReB4 (RE = Ce, Gd-Er, Yb) were synthesized by various methods, including spark plasma sintering. They crystallize with the YCrB4 structure type (space group Pbam). The Tb, Ho, Er, and Yb representatives are Curie-Weiss paramagnets with the RE atoms in the +3 oxidation state, whereas the cerium atoms in CeReB4 are in the 4f(0) configuration (oxidation state +4). Electronic-structure calculations predict CeReB4 to be a metal with a density of states N(E-F) = 1.6 stateseV(-1)f.u.(-1) (f.u.: formula unit). Measurements of the transport properties confirm that REReB4 (RE = Ce, Tb, Ho) are metallic materials with low thermopowers and relatively high thermal conductivities.
