13. A preliminary part of this work appeared in M. Matsunami, L. Chen, H. Okamura, T. Nanba, C. Sekine, and I. Shirotani, J. Magn. Magn. Mater. JMMMDC 0304-8853 272-276, E39 (2004). The spectra of Sm Ru4 P12 in this paper contain some extra phonon structures not seen in the present work. They turned out to be artifacts in the repeated measurements.
