Influence of the Pd-Si ratio on the valence transition in EuPd${}_2$Si${}_2$ single crystals

Kristin Kliemt, Marius Peters, Isabel Reiser +9

Single crystals of intermediate valent EuPd${}_2$Si${}_2$ were grown from an Eu-rich melt by the Bridgman as well as the Czochralski technique. The chemical and structural characteriza…
