Single crystal growth and physical properties of MCo2Al9 (M= Sr, Ba)

Abstract

Single crystals of SrCo2Al and BaCo2Al9 were grown using a self-flux method. A LeBail analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction patterns show that both compounds crystallize in a hexagonal (P6/mmm) crystal structure with lattice parameters: a ​= ​7.8995(1) Å, c ​= ​3.9159(1) Å for SrCo2Al9, and a ​= ​7.9162(2) Å, c ​= ​3.9702(1) Å for BaCo2Al9 aluminide. The low temperature analysis of the heat capacity measurements give a Sommerfeld coefficient γ ​= ​4.99(6) mJ mol−1 K−2 for SrCo2Al9 and almost twice larger γ ​= ​7.94(9) mJ mol−1 K−2 for BaCo2Al9. Resistivity measurements show metallic-like behavior, with reasonably large residual resistivity ratio RRR ​= ​6 and 10 for SrCo2Al9 and BaCo2Al9, respectively. Neither heat capacity nor resistivity measurements reveal any phase transition down to 1.8 ​K.
