The elements in the universe are synthesized primarily in stars and supernovae, where nuclear fusion favors the production of even-Z elements. In contrast, odd-Z elements are less abundant and their yields are highly dependent on detailed…
The low-energy effective theories for gapped insulators are classified by three parameters: permittivity $\epsilon$, permeability $\mu$, and theta angle $\theta$. Crystals with periodic $\epsilon$ are known as photonic crystals. We here…
Many layered materials can be cleaved down to individual atomic planes, similar to graphene, but only a small minority of them are stable under ambient conditions. The rest reacts and decomposes in air, which has severely hindered their…
In their Comment to a recent paper of ours [Lucarelli et al., PRL 92, 037002 (2003)], Tajima et al. (cond-mat 0303493) argue that the samples of La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4) where we find far-infrared peaks below 150 cm-1 (which suggest a charge…
We comment on a study by Nadykto et al. recently published in this journal. Earlier work from our group has been misrepresented in this study, and we feel that the claims made need to be amended. Also the analysis of Nadykto et al.…
Lanthanides are often used as surrogates to study the properties of actinide compounds. Their behaviour is considered to be quite similar as they both possess f valence electrons and are close in size and chemical properties. This study…
The La-2125 type La2-xDyxCa2xBa2Cu4+2xOz (0.1 < x < 0.5; LDBO) compounds have been synthesized and studied for their structural and superconducting properties by room temperature neutron diffraction, high field dc magnetization, four-probe…
D. J. Antonio et al. report an x-ray diffraction experiment on uranium dioxide at high-magnetic field and low temperature. The authors have apparently not realized that the diffraction data actually shows unambiguously the presence of a…
It is shown that the evidence asserted in the Comment [arXiv:1205.6418] on the chemical composition data published by Carpinteri et al. [Strain 47 (Suppl. 2), 282 (2011)]-that the data "cannot be the result of independent measurements as…
In their paper arXiv:2405.08189, Supercond. Sci. Technol. 37 (2024) 065010 [1], Bud'ko et al. present experimental results for trapped magnetic flux for a tiny sample of a type II superconductor. The paper aims to provide evidence in…
In this Comment, we explain the reason for the discrepancy between two sets of tunneling data obtained on Ni- and Zn-doped Bi2212 single crystals (presented in H. Hancotte et al., Phys. Rev. B 55, R3410 (1997) and A. Mourachkine, to be…
Tetrahedrite (copper antimony sulfosalt) is promising p-type themoeletric material due to very low intrinsic thermal conductivity and moderately-high power factor, with one of the limitations being lack of n-type variant to create…
The behaviour of alkaline carbonates at high pressure is poorly understood. Indeed, theoretical and experimental investigations of general trends of pressure induced structural changes appear in the literature only sporadically. In this…
Two novel 112-type palladium doped iron arsenides were synthesized and identified using comprehensive studies involving synchrotron x-ray diffraction and x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) experiments. Whereas in-plane arsenic…
We prove that, in types $E_{6,7,8}^{(1)}$, $F_4^{(1)}$ and $E_6^{(2)}$, every Kirillov--Reshetikhin module associated with the node adjacent to the adjoint one (near adjoint node) has a crystal pseudobase, by applying the criterion…
Scintillators cover an important wide range of applications in detection and imaging. In this paper we are presenting growth and performance results of several advanced large diameter thallium-based ternary halide crystals are presented.…

The properties of crystals consisting of several components can be widely tuned. Often solid solutions are produced, where substitutional or interstitional disorder determines the crystal thermodynamic and mechanical properties. The…
Using the methods of Kang et al. and recent results on the characters of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules by Nakajima and Hernandez, the existence of Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals B^{r,s} is established for all nonexceptional affine types. We…
The theoretical ideas relevant for the physics of the disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) are reviewed.
