Abstract

We present the structure of Ln(30)Ru(4+x)Sn(31-y) (Ln = Gd, Dy) and the anisotropic resistivity, magnetization, thermopower, and thermal conductivity of single crystal Ln(30)Ru(4+x)Sn(31-y) (Ln = Gd, Tb). Gd(30)Ru(4.92)Sn(30.54) crystallizes in a new structure-type with space group Pnnm and dimensions of a = 11.784(1) Å, b = 24.717(1) Å, and c = 11.651(2) Å, and V = 3394(1) Å(3). Magnetic anisotropy and highly anisotropic electrical transport behavior were observed in the single crystals of Gd(30)Ru(4.92)Sn(30.54) and Tb(30)Ru(6)Sn(29.5). Additionally, the lattice thermal conductivity of Tb(30)Ru(6)Sn(29.5) is quite low, and a comparison is made to other Sn-containing compounds.
