The lead chalcogenides represent an important family of functional materials, in particular due to the benchmark high-temperature thermoelectric performance of PbTe. A number of recent investigations, experimental and theoretical, have…
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the specific heat $C$ of insulators and semiconductors because of the availability of samples with different isotopic masses and the possibility of performing \textit{ab initio}…
In recent years, the availability of highly pure stable isotopes has made possible the investigation of the dependence of the physical properties of crystals, in particular semiconductors, on their isotopic composition. Following the…
Lead and tin chalcogenides have been studied widely due to their promising thermoelectric (TE) properties. Further enhancement in their TE efficiency has been reported upon the reduction of the dimension, which is an important feature in…
Lead chalcogenides such as PbS, PbSe, and PbTe are of interest for their exceptional thermoelectric properties and strongly anharmonic lattice dynamics. Although PbTe has received the most attention, PbSe has a lower thermal conductivity…
Using first principles calculations, we systematically study the elastic stiffness constants, mechanical properties, elastic wave velocities, Debye temperature, melting temperature, and specific heat of several thermodynamically stable…
High-throughput ab-initio calculations, cluster expansion techniques and thermodynamic modeling have been synergistically combined to characterize the binodal and the spinodal decompositions features in the pseudo-binary lead chalcogenides…
The temperature dependences of the total, crystal lattice and electronic thermal conductivities were investigated in films of topological insulators p-Bi$_{0.5}$Sb$_{1.5}$Te$_{3}$ and p-Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ formed by discrete and thermal…
The electron in a solid can be considered a bound state of the three independent, fundamental degrees of freedom creating quasi-particles: spinons, carrying the electron spin; plasmons carrying the collective charge mode and orbitons…
The phenomenology of iron-pnictides superconductors can be explained in the framework of a three bands s\pm wave Eliashberg theory with only two free parameters plus a feedback effect i.e. the effect of the condensate on the…
The pyrochlore oxides $A_2B_2$O$_7$ exhibit a complex interplay between geometrical frustration, electronic correlations, and spin-orbit coupling, due to the lattice structure and active charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom.…
A wide variety of experimental results and theoretical investigations in recent years have convincingly demonstrated that several transition metal oxides and other materials, have dominant states that are not spatially homogeneous. This…
Topological insulators are quantum materials involving Time-reversal protected surface states(TSS) making them appealing candidates for the design of next generation of highly efficient spintronic devices. The very recent observation of…
We study the magnetic properties of the adatom systems on a semiconductor surface Si(111):\{C,Si,Sn,Pb\} - ($\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$). On the basis of all-electron density functional theory calculations we construct effective low-energy…
Magnetic and thermodynamical properties of a system of spins in a honeycomb lattice, such as magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat, in a low-temperature regime are investigated by considering the effects of a Kekul\'e…
We study spin-$S$ Ising models with $p$-spin interactions on the one-dimensional chain and the two-dimensional square lattice. Here, $S$ denotes the magnitude of the spin and $p$ represents the number of spins involved in each interaction.…
Possible types of elementary excitations in the symmetric spin-orbital model on the a square lattice are analyzed using a spherically symmetric self-consistent approach. The excitation spectra are calculated. The behavior of the…
PbCuTe$_2$O$_6$ is considered as one of the rare candidate materials for a three-dimensional quantum spin liquid (QSL). This assessment was based on the results of various magnetic experiments, performed mainly on polycrystalline material.…
