We studied the partial substitution of Ag in the noncentrosymetric superconducting compounds Li$_2$Pd$_{3-x}$Ag$_x$B with x=0.0, 0.1 and 0.3. Magnetization, resistivity and specific heat measurements were performed in this system. From…
We carried out the measurements of magnetoresistance, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat on crystals of the low-dimensional transition metal telluride Ta$_4$Pd$_3$Te$_{16}$. Our results indicate that Ta$_4$Pd$_3$Te$_{16}$ is an…
Polycrystalline sample of superconducting ThIr$_{3}$ was obtained by arc-melting Th and Ir metals. Powder x-ray diffraction revealed that the compound crystalizes in a rhombohedral crystal structure (R-3m, s.g. no. 166) with the lattice…
We report measurements of the London penetration depth $\Delta\lambda(T)$ and the electronic specific heat $C_e(T)$ on high-quality single crystals of the filled-skutterudite superconductor PrPt$_4$Ge$_{12}$ ($T_c\simeq$8K). Both quantities…
We calculate the density of states $N$ and the the thermal conductivity $\kappa $ in layered superconductors for rotating in-plane magnetic field by using approximate analytical expressions for Abrikosov's vortex lattice state. For a gap…
To examine the so-called small pseudogap and the superconducting (SC) condensation energy U(0), the electronic specific heat Cel was measured on La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4} up to ~120K. In samples with doping level p (=x) less than ~0.2, small…
Based on first-principle FLAPW-GGA calculations, we have investigated structural and electronic properties of the recently synthesized tetragonal (space group P4/nmm) nickel-based pnictide oxide superconductors: 3.3K (Ni2P2)(Sr4Sc2O6) and…
We present a detailed study of the quasiparticle contribution to the low-temperature specific heat of an extreme type-II superconductor at high magnetic fields. Within a T-matrix approximation for the self-energies in the mixed state of a…
Low temperature susceptibility and specific heat for single crystals of Pr$_{1-x}$La$_x$Os$_4$Sb$_{12}$ (0 $\leq x$ $\leq 1$) are reported. La-doping leaves CEF energies of Pr essentially unchanged. The average $T_c$ is only weakly affected…
Low temperature specific heat (SH) was measured on the FeAs-based superconducting single crystals Ba$_{0.6}$K$_{0.4}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ and high pressure synthesized polycrystalline samples SmFeAsO$_{0.9}$F$_{0.1}$. It is found that the sharp SH…
We report the observation of superconductivity in La3Ni4P4O2 at 2.2 K. The layer stacking in this compound results in an asymmetric distribution of charge reservoir layers around the Ni2P2 planes. The estimated Wilson ratio, Rw ~ 5,…
Th$_3$Te$_4$ materials are potential candidates for commercial thermoelectric (TE) materials at high-temperature due to their superior physical properties. We incorporate the multiband Boltzmann transport equations with firstprinciples…
We report measurements of the specific heat of Ba$_{0.59}$K$_{0.41}$Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$, an Fe-pnictide superconductor with $T_c$ = 36.9 K, for which there are suggestions of an unusual electron pairing mechanism. We use a new method of…
We show that the previously unreported ternary $\sigma$-phase material Nb$_{20.4}$Ru$_{5.7}$Ge$_{3.9}$ is a superconductor with a critical temperature of 2.2 K. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility, resistance, and specific heat…
