DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Masego Katametsi (University of Johannesburg)\nA sui
 te of electronic and magnetic property studies were conducted on a Pr0.5La
 0.5Pt4Ge12 (Skutterudite) polycrystalline sample with an objective of inve
 stigating its superconducting state. The two parent compounds PrPt4Ge12 (T
 c= 8K) and LaPt4Ge12 (Tc= 7.8K) both form in the filled-cage cubic Skutter
 udite structure and both have a superconducting ground state. However\, th
 eir superconducting order parameters differ: PrPt4Ge12 has been characteri
 zed in the literature as an unconventional\, multi-band superconductor and
  furthermore with evidence for time reversal symmetry breaking in its supe
 rconducting state. The isostructural compound LaPt4Ge12 on the other hand 
 is a conventional superconductor. In this work we report the results of ma
 gnetization\, magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity as functions of te
 mperature and applied magnetic field in order to study the entanglement of
  the two types of superconductivity\, and in an attempt to search for evid
 ence of time-reversal symmetry breaking that may result from an internal m
 agnetic field generated in the superconducting state.\n\nhttps://events.sa
