Local Distortion Induced Metal-to-Insulator Phase Transition in PrRu${}_4$P${}_{12}$

D. Cao, R. H. Heffner, F. Bridges +4

Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) experiments have been carried out on PrRu${}_4$P${}_{12}$ and PrOs${}_4$P${}_{12}$ to study the metal-to-insulator (MI) phase transition in…
