摘要/Abstract

摘要： The compounds composed of transition metal cations and pnictide anions provide a rich platform for studying novel physical phenomena. Here we report on the observation of a phase transition at $\sim 70$ K and 145 K in layered compound EuCu$_{4}$As$_{2}$ and SrCu$_{4}$As$_{2}$, respectively. from both the transport and heat capacity. The thermal expansion measurements show that the variation of the lattice parameters ($\Delta L_{b}/L_{ab}$) around $T_{\rm P}$ is much less than that for a typical crystalline phase transition. Our experimental results reveal that the transition in EuCu$_{4}$As$_{2}$ and SrCu$_{4}$As$_{2}$ should be driven by subtle structural-distortion.
