Enhanced paramagnetism of the 4d itinerant electrons in the rhodium oxide perovskite SrRhO3
Abstract
Polycrystalline rhodium(IV) oxide perovskite SrRhO3 was obtained by high-pressure synthesis techniques, followed by measurements of the magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity, and specific heat. The title compound has five 4d-electrons per perovskite unit and shows Fermi-liquid behavior in its electrical resistivity. The magnetic susceptibility is large [chi(300K) \~1.1*10-3 emu/mol-Rh] and proportional to 1/T2 (< 380 K), while there is no magnetic long-range order above 1.8 K. The specific heat measurements indicate a probable magnetic contribution below ~ 15 K, which is not predicted by the self-consistent renormalization theory of spin fluctuations for both antiferro- and ferromagnetic 3D nearly-ordered metals.
