Abstract

Pt₄Sn_4.4Sb_7.6 (a = 9.3304(2) Å, space group ) is an unfilled skutterudite member of the solid solution Sn_xPt₄Sn_ySb_12-x. In contrast to Sn_xNi₄Sn_ySb_12-y and Sn_xPt₄Sn_ySb_12-x no Sn could be found in the 2a sites of the Sn/Sb framework. Physical properties have been data for Ni₄Sn₃Sb₉ and Ni₄Sn_3.5Sb_8.5. Resistivity measurements for Pt₄Sn_4.4Sb_7.6 reveal a temperature dependent crossover from metallic to semiconducting behaviour connected with a corresponding change from negative to positive thermopower at 30 K. Vicker's hardness, thermal expansion and elastic moduli compare well with values of other Sb- investigated in the temperature range from 4.2 K to 800 K and have been compared with based skutterudites.
