Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:22.72(Physics, Condensed Matter)In order to clarify what types of spin and orbital fluctuations dominate over low-temperature electronic properties of Pr-based filled skutterudites, we evaluate multipole susceptibility based on a multiorbital Anderson model constructed from a - coupling scheme. It is found that magnetic and quadrupole fluctuations are dominant at low temperatures. When we further include the effect of rattling as dynamical Jahn-Teller phonons, there remain quadrupole and octupole fluctuations, which may induce exotic superconducting pairing.

Times Cited Count:26 Percentile:73.56(Physics, Multidisciplinary)In order to clarify exotic multipole properties of filled skutterudites, we evaluate multipole susceptibility for =15, where is the local -electron number, on the basis of a multiorbital Anderson model constructed using the - coupling scheme. For =1, magnetic fluctuations dominate over low-temperature electronic properties, while for =2 and 4, electronic states are dominated by both magnetic and quadrupole fluctuations. For =3 and 5, octupole fluctuations are found to be significant, depending on the crystalline electric field potential. We discuss possible relevance of the results to actual materials.
