Abstract

Point-contact spectroscopy measurements have been performed on the R 3Pd20X6 (R = La, Ce; X = Si, Ge) cage compounds. In case of La the characteristic phonon energies have been obtained in agreement with that of the Raman scattering. In Ce3Pd 20Si6 we have observed asymmetric behaviour of dV/I(V ) dependences which was observed in non-Fermi liquid compound. In Ce 3Pd20Ge6 we have observed maxima at crystalline electric field energies, influenced by magnetic field. This is connected with quadrupolar ordering transition.
