Abstract
149Sm and 57Fe nuclear resonant inelastic scattering (NRIS) measurements were carried out on SmFe 4P 12, SmFe 4As 12 and SmFe 4Sb 12. A clear dip structure of the 57Fe NRIS spectrum was found in SmFe 4P 12, which was not clearly observed for SmFe 4As 12 and SmFe 4Sb 12. On the other hand, the line width of the phonon excitation in the 149Sm NRIS spectrum increases with increasing the ionic radius of the pnictogen. These findings imply that the hybridization between the Sm and Fe phonon modes is correlated to changes in the ionic radius of the pnictogen.
