Fig. 2

a–c Temperature dependencies of resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat, respectively, for the β-ThRh1−xIrxGe samples with x ≤ 0.5. The vertical dashed line indicates the Ts for x = 0.4. In (a), the arrow marks the x increasing direction and the inset shows a zoom of the data near the structural transition. In (b), the solid lines are fits to the data below 50 K by the Curie-Weiss law. The inset shows a zoom of the data for x = 0.1 near the transition and the two arrows mark the temperature changing directions. In (c), the horizontal line corresponds to the Dulong-Petit limit and the inset shows a zoom of the data near the structural transition.
