The filled skutterudite compound PrOs4P12 was synthesized in single-crystal form using a molten metal flux growth technique. Low-temperature magnetization, specific heat, and electrical resistivity measurements showed no indication of a phase transition down to 0.1 K but had features indicative of crystalline electric field (CEF) effects. Analyses of these features in terms of a cubic CEF suggest a Γ1 singlet or a Γ3 doublet ground state separated by 30–50 K from a Γ5 triplet first excited state. © IOP Publishing Ltd.
