Heat capacity measurements on the recently discovered geometrically frustrated beta-pyrochlore superconductor RbOs2O6 (Tc=6.4 K) yield a Sommerfeld coefficient of 44 mJ/(molf.u. K^2). This is about 4 times larger than the one found in band structure calculations. In order to specify the enhancement due to electron-electron interactions, we have measured the electron-phonon enhancement. By a suitable analysis, an electron-phonon coupling constant lambda_ep = 1 +/- 0.1 is derived from the specific heat jump at Tc. This leaves a significant additional lambda_add = 2.1 +/- 0.3 for enhancement due to other mechanisms, possibly related to the triangular lattice. To arrive at these results, an appropriate analysis method for bulk thermodynamic data based on the condensation energy was applied.
We have determined the Fermi surface in KOs$_2$O$_6$ ($T_c$ = 9.6 K and $B_{c2} sim$ 32 T) via de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillation measurements and a band structure calculation. We find effective masses up to 26(1) $m_e$ ($m_e$ is the free electron
Single crystals of RbOs2O6 have been grown from Rb2O and Os in sealed quartz ampoules. The crystal structure has been identified at room temperature as cubic with the lattice constant a = 10.1242(12) A. The anisotropy of the tetrahedral and octahedra
Two beta-pyrochlore oxide superconductors, CsOs2O6 and RbOs2O6, are studied thermodynamically by measuring specific heat on polycrystalline samples. It is found that a Sommerfeld coefficient ? is nearly equal, 20 mJ/K2 mol Os, in the two oxides with
To assess electron correlation and electron-phonon coupling in the recently discovered beta-pyrochlores KOs2O6 and RbOs2O6, we have performed specific heat measurements in magnetic fields up to 14 T. We present data from high quality single crystalli
Metamagnetic transitions in the novel spin-triplet superconductor UTe$_2$ were investigated through the newly developed simultaneous measurements of magnetization and sample temperature for the field along the orthorhombic $b$-axis and close to the [
