Abstract
CeOs4Sb12, a member of the skutterudite family, has an unusual semimetallic low-temperature
L
-phase that inhabits a wedge-like area of the field H—temperature T phase diagram. We have conducted measurements of electrical transport and megahertz conductivity on CeOs4Sb12 single crystals under pressures of up to 3 GPa and in high magnetic fields of up to 41 T to investigate the influence of pressure on the different H–T phase boundaries. While the high-temperature valence transition between the metallic
H
-phase and the
L
-phase is shifted to higher T by pressures of the order of 1 GPa, we observed only a marginal suppression of the
S
-phase that is found below 1 K for pressures of up to 1.91 GPa. High-field quantum oscillations have been observed for pressures up to 3.0 GPa and the Fermi surface of the high-field side of the
H
-phase is found to show a surprising decrease in size with increasing pressure, implying a change in electronic structure rather than a mere contraction of lattice parameters. We evaluate the field-dependence of the effective masses for different pressures and also reflect on the sample dependence of some of the properties of CeOs4Sb12 which appears to be limited to the low-field region.
