Calcium stannate perovskite (CaSnO3) has been studied by Raman spectroscopy at two excitation wavelengths (514.5 nm and 632.8 nm). A new first-order order-disorder phase transition induces Raman frequency shifts and line width doubling at…
We report the structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of Co$_2$Cr$_{1-x}$Ti$_x$Al ($x=$ 0--0.5) Heusler alloys for spintronic and magnetic refrigerator applications. Room temperature X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction…
We show that in mixed-valence 3d transition metal oxides undergoing a structural transition, the low temperature phase results from an effective ordering of the charge. This arrangement and the quantitative evaluation of the atomic charges…
Magnetic properties of the transition metal oxide BaCoO$_3$ are analyzed on the basis of the experimental and theoretical literature available via ab inito calculations. These can be explained by assuming the material to be formed by…
Experiments of various types on the metallic transition metal oxide compound LiV_{2}O_{4} with the fcc normal-spinel structure are reviewed. The low-temperature T < 10 K data consistently indicate heavy fermion (HF) behaviors characteristic…
Temperature dependence of the X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra at the Pr $L_{3}$- and Tb $L_{3}$-edges was measured for the (Pr$_{1-y}$Tb$_{y})_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$CoO$_{3}$ system, in which a metal-insulator (MI) and…
We report the results of neutron diffraction, ac and dc magnetization, heat-capacity, complex permittivity, and pyrocurrent measurements on an oxide, Li3NiRuO5, hitherto not paid much attention in the literature, except for a previous…
Valency of Ce and Pr in LRu4P12 (L = Ce and Pr) was studied by L2,3-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. The Ce-L3 XANES spectrum suggests that Ce is mainly trivalent, but the 4f state strongly hybridizes with…
The crystal structure of KAgF3 was studied by powder neutron diffraction. KAgF3 exhibits at all temperatures an orthorhombic symmetry in space group Pnma that allows for several distortions with respect to the ideal cubic perovskite…
Up to now the crystallographic structure of the magnetoelectric perovskite EuTiO3 was considered to remain cubic down to low temperature. Here we present high resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data showing the existence of a…
Motivated by the colossal negative thermal expansion recently found in BiNiO$_3$, the valence transition accompanied by the charge transfer between the Bi and Ni sites is theoretically studied. We introduce an effective model for Bi-$6s$…
In the present work we demonstrate that in addition to the well-known colossal-dielectric-constant material CaCu3Ti4O12 also various members of the series Ln2/3Cu3Ti4O12 with Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er and Tm, exhibit…
Structural and magnetic properties have been studied for polycrystalline Zn_{1-x}TM_xO, where TM (transition metal ions) = Mn, Fe, and Co. No bulk ferromagnetism was observed for single-phase materials, contrary to the existing theories.…
X-ray diffraction, thermodynamic measurements, and density-functional band-structure calculations are used to study the magnetic behavior of BaCuTe$_{2}$O$_{6}$, a member of the $A$CuTe$_2$O$_6$ structural family that hosts complex…
Itinerant metamagnetism transition is observed and studied in perovskite La1-xCaxMn0.90Cu0.10O3 system for x = 0.30. At a constant low temperature, 10 K < T < 150 K, there is a continuous second-order metamagnetism jump from a low magnetic…
We studied structural, electronic and magnetic properties of a cubic perovskite BaFeO$_{3-\delta}$ ($0 \le \delta \le 0.5$) within the density functional theory using a generalized gradient approximation and a GGA+U method. According to our…
The resistivity in the ferromagnetic state of flux-grown La_{2/3}(Pb,Ca)_{1/3}MnO_3 single crystals, measured in magnetic fields up to 7 T, reveals a strong quadratic temperature dependence at and above 50 K. At lower temperatures, this…
We report new observation of cooperative paramagnetic fluctuations of Ru$^{4+}$ spins that coexist with the non-Fermi liquid state in CaRuO$_{3}$ perovskite below T $\simeq$ 22 K. Detailed electrical, magnetic and neutron scattering…
The ferromagnetic quantum phase transition in the perovskite ruthenate Sr$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$RuO$_3$ is studied by low-temperature magnetization and electrical resistivity measurements on thin films. The films were grown epitaxially on SrTiO$_3$…
We show that the pressure-temperature phase diagram of the Mott insulator Ca$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$ features a metal-insulator transition at 0.5GPa: at 300K from paramagnetic insulator to paramagnetic quasi-two-dimensional metal; at $T \leq$ 12K…
