Resistivity anomaly, a sharp peak of resistivity at finite temperatures, in the transition-metal pentatellurides ZrTe5 and HfTe5 was observed four decades ago, and more exotic and anomalous behaviors of electric and thermoelectric transport…
Upon application of a uniform strain, internal sub-lattice shifts within the unit cell of a non-centrosymmetric dielectric crystal result in the appearance of a net dipole moment: a phenomenon well known as piezoelectricity. A macroscopic…
H2O is one of the most important substances needed in sustaining life; but yet not much is known about its ground state. Here, a previously unidentified anomaly is identified in the form of a minimum in the imaginary part of the dielectric…
It is widely accepted that structural glasses and disordered crystals exhibit anomalies in the their thermal, mechanical and acoustic properties as manifestations of the breakdown of the long-wavelength approximation in a disordered…
A high-frequency (95 GHz) EPR study is reported on single crystals of the planar tetranuclear complex Fe4(OCH3)6(dpm)6 (where Hdpm = dipivaloylmethane), which has been previously shown to present typical single-molecule magnet behaviour.…
A central mystery in high temperature superconductivity is the origin of the so-called "strange metal," i.e., the anomalous conductor from which superconductivity emerges at low temperature. Measuring the dynamic charge response of the…
Magnetic doping with transition metal ions is the most widely used approach to break timereversal symmetry in a topological insulator, a prerequisite for unlocking the TIs exotic potential. Recently, we reported the doping of Bi2Te3 thin…
We report X-ray diffraction patterns and calculated electronic band structures of the Dirac line-nodal material CaSb$_2$ under pressure. Its superconducting transition temperature ($T_{\mathrm{c}}=1.7$ K) increases under pressure and…
We discovered a near room temperature lead-free relaxor-ferroelectric (Ba0.6Bi0.2Li0.2)TiO3 (BBLT) having A-site compositional disordered ABO3 perovskite structure. Microstructure-property relations revealed that the chemical…
We performed Se and F-NMR measurements on single crystals of (TMTSF)2FSO3 to characterize the electronic structures of different phases in the Temperature-Pressure phase diagram, determined by precise transport measurements [Jo et al.,…
Neutron diffraction measurements of a high quality single crystal of CaFe2As2 are reported. A sharp transition was observed between the high temperature tetragonal and low temperature orthorhombic structures at TS = 172.5K (on cooling) and…
Single crystals of mixed alkaline earth metal iron arsenide materials of Ba1-xSrxFe2As2 and Ba0.5Sr0.5(Fe1-yCoy)2As2 are synthesized via the self-flux method. Ba1-xSrxFe2As2 display spin-density wave features (TN) at temperatures…
A series of (1-x)[(2BaO-0,5Na2O)-1P2O5] -xNb2O5 (BNPN, x=0,41, 0,43, 0,45, 0,48) glass-ceramics based on phosphate glasses have been prepared via a controlled-crystallization route. The structure, dielectric properties, interfacial…
We report on first direct observation of spontaneous fluctuations of birefringence in glasses doped with rare-earth (RE) ions. The fluctuations were observed in Nd$^{3+}$- and Yb$^{3+}$-doped glasses as polarization noise of the laser beam…
We report a detailed study of tunneling spectra measured on 2H-Ta$_x$Nb$_{1-x}$Se$_2$ ($x=0\sim 0.1$) single crystals using a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. The prominent gap-like feature unintelligible for a long time was…
The electrical conductivity and dielectric properties of Ni1.5Fe1.5O4 ferrite has been controlled by varying the annealing temperature of the chemical routed samples. The frequency activated conductivity obeyed Jonschers power law and…
We measured the static uniform spin susceptibility of Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Rh$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ iron-based superconductors, over a broad range of doping ($0.041\leq x\leq 0.094$) and magnetic fields. At small fields ($H \le$ 1 kOe) we observed, above…
Quest for new states of matter near an ordered phase is a promising route for making modern physics forward. By probing thermal properties of a ferroelectric (FE) crystal Ba1-xSrxAl2O4, we have clarified that low-energy excitation of…
The $\rm Fe_{1+y}Te_{1-x}Se_x$\ single crystals with the various Se/Te ratios were studied by the microwave absorption and direct current resistivity measurements. The comparison of the microwave absorption data and the resistivity versus…
We report the a.c. susceptibility study of Dy_xTb_{2-x}Ti_2O_7 with x in [0, 2]. In addition to the single-ion effect at Ts (single-ion effect peak temperature) corresponding to the Dy3+ spins as that in spin ice Dy_2Ti_2O_7 and a possible…
