Low temperature susceptibility and specific heat for single crystals of Pr$_{1-x}$La$_x$Os$_4$Sb$_{12}$ (0 $\leq x$ $\leq 1$) are reported. La-doping leaves CEF energies of Pr essentially unchanged. The average $T_c$ is only weakly affected…
In the skutterudite compounds the anharmonic 'rattling' oscillations of 4f-host ions in the surrounding Sb12 cages are found to have significant influence on the low temperature properties. Recently specific heat analysis of…
