Isomorphous PrT2B2C (T=Co,Ni,Pt) single crystals: Structural, transport, and magnetic properties

The full substitution of Ni by Co and Pt enclosed in the same crystalline structure (I4/mmm) of Pr-based compounds have been investigated. The structural characteristics, magnetic properties, and magnetoresistance of PrCo2B2C, PrNi2B2C, and PrPt2B2C single crystals were studied to determine the reas...
