Order-Disorder Transitions in (Ca $_{x}$ Sr $_{1 - x}$ ) $_{3}$ Rh $_{4}$ Sn $_{13}$

Abstract

The classification of structural phase transitions as displacive or order-disorder in character is usually based on spectroscopic data above the transition. We use single crystal x-ray diffraction to investigate structural correlations in the quasi-skutterudites, (Ca $_{x}$ Sr $_{1 - x}$ ) $_{3}$ Rh $_{4}$ Sn $_{13}$ , which have a quantum phase transition at $x \sim 0.9$ . Three-dimensional pair distribution functions show that the amplitudes of local atomic displacements are temperature-independent below the transition and persist to well above the transition, a signature of order-disorder behavior. The implications for the associated electronic transitions are discussed.
