The Earth's crust is known to be depleted of gold, among other slightly heavy noble metals transported by magma from the Earth's mantle to the crust. The bulk silicate Earth (BSE) model also suggests significant depletion of Au in the…
The measurements of the magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance have been performed for the Fe intercalated compound Fe0.5TiS2. According to X-ray diffraction measurements the Fe0.5TiS2 compound…
The very nature of the ground state of the pyrochlore compound Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ is much debated, as experimental results demonstrate evidence for both a disordered or a long-range ordered ground state. Indeed, the delicate balance of…

We have investigated single crystals and polycrystals from the series Nb$_{1-y}$Fe$_{2+y}$, $-0.004 \leq y \leq 0.018$ by electron spin resonance, muon spin relaxation and M\"ossbauer spectroscopy. Our data establish that at lowest…
The M\"{o}ssbauer Effect(ME) is frequently used to investigate magnetically ordered systems. One usually assumes that the magnetic order induces a hyperfine magnetic field, $B_{hyperfine}$, at the ME active site. This is the case in the…
