Hole doping in Nd${}_{2}$NiO${}_{4.00}$ can be either achieved by substituting the trivalent Nd atoms by bivalent alkaline earth metals or by oxygen doping, yielding Nd${}_{2}$NiO${}_{4+\delta}$. In this study, we investigated the interplay…

In YBa2Cu3Ox, distinct features are found in the pressure dependence of the transition temperature, dTc/dp, and in DeltaCp*Tc, where DeltaCp is the jump in the specific heat at Tc: dTc/dp becomes zero when DeltaCp*Tc is maximal, whereas…

A common method of adjusting the metal-insulator transition temperature of M$_{1}$ VO$_{2}$ is via disruption of the Peierls pairing by doping, or inputting stress or strain. However, since adding even small amounts of dopants will change…

The layered perovskite compound NaV_2O_5 exhibits charge ordering (CO) and spin gap formation which is driven by inter- site Coulomb forces and exchange dimerisation. Experimentally it was found that the CO transition is rapidly reduced by…

We review the half-Skyrmion theory for copper-oxide high-temperature superconductivity. In the theory, doped holes create a half-Skyrmion spin texture which is characterized by a topological charge. The formation of the half-Skyrmion is…

Topological insulators are a new class of insulators with conducting surface state. Most of the topological insulators are chalcogenides, where a tiny amount of chalcogen vacancy destroys the predicted bulk insulating state and results in a…

Transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit rich phase diagrams dominated by the interplay of superconductivity and charge density waves, which often result in anomalies in the electric transport properties. Here, we employ the ionic gating…

A new theoretical model is presented to study the nanoscale electronic inhomogeneity in high-$T_c$ cuprates. In this model, we argue that the randomly distributed out-of-plane interstitial oxygen dopants induces locally the off-diagonal…

Oxygen doping in metallic YBa_2Cu_3O_x induces quadrupolar "alpha-ortho'', and breathing "beta-ortho" deformations of the CuO_2 planes. Breathing beta-ortho deformations favour hybridizations of the pd sigma Cu3d_x^2-y^2 - O2p_x,y with the…
