Thermoelectric properties of the layered Pd oxide R_2PdO_4 (R = La, Nd, Sm and Gd)

S. Shibasaki, I. Terasaki

We prepared polycrystalline samples of R${}_2$PdO${}_4$ (R = La, Nd, Sm and Gd) using a NaCl-flux technique. The measured resistivity is of the order of 10${}^3-10^4$ $\Omega$cm at room tempe…
