We report optical (6 meV - 4 eV) properties of a boride superconductor ZrB$_{12}$ ($T_c$ = 6 K) in the normal state from 20 to 300 K measured on high-quality single crystals by a combination of reflectivity and ellipsometry. The Drude…

We report the observation of a stepwise "melting" of the low-temperature Na-vacancy order in the layered transition metal oxide Na0.7CoO2. High-resolution neutron powder diffraction indicates the existence of two first-order structural…

In the present study, the structural, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of two isostructural chalcogenide materials, NaInS2 and NaInSe2 with hexagonal symmetry (R-3m) have been studied using the first principles method. A…

Optical conductivity spectra of single crystals of Ca_1-xSr_xVO_3 have been studied to elucidate how the electronic behavior depends on the strength of the electron correlation without changing the nominal number of electrons per vanadium…

The magnetic properties and structure of LixCoO2 for x between 0.5 and 1.0 are reported. Co4+ is found to be high-spin in LixCoO2 for x between 0.94 and 1.0 and low-spin for x between 0.50 and 0.78. Weak antiferromagnetic coupling is…

A systematic study of NaxCoO2 (x=0.50 - 0.90) and NaxCoO2 yH(D)2O (x=0.26 - 0.42, y=1.3) has been performed to determine phase stability and the effect of hydration on the structural and superconducting properties of this system. We show…

We measured the polarized optical conductivity of URu$_2$Si$_2$ from room temperature down to 5 K, covering the Kondo state, the coherent Kondo liquid regime, and the hidden-order phase. The normal state is characterized by an anisotropic…

We have performed thermal expansion and compressibility measurements on the recently discovered superconducting material NaxCoO2*4xD2O (x=1/3) using neutron powder diffraction over the temperature range 10-295 K and the pressure range 0-0.6…

The effect of surface degradation of the thermolectric cobaltite on Raman spectra is discussed and compared to experimental results from Co3O4 single crystals. We conclude that on NaCl flux grown NaxCoO2 crystals a surface layer of Co3O4…

Electride materials offer attractive physical properties due to their loosely bound electrons. Ca2N, an electride in the two-dimensional (2D) form was successfully recently synthesized. We conducted extensive first-principles calculations…

We report a structural transition found in Ca10(Ir4As8)(Fe2-xIrxAs2)5, which exhibits superconductivity at 16 K, with a layer of divalent iridium coordinated by arsenic in between Fe2As2 layers. The c-axis parameter is doubled below a…

We present research results on the electronic transport in heterostructures based on p-type nickel oxide (NiO) with the n-type oxide semiconductors zinc oxide (ZnO) and cadmium oxide (CdO). NiO is a desirable candidate for application in…

Various physical quantities are measured and analysed for the Cu-substituted thermoelectric oxide NaCo_{2-x}Cu_xO_4. As was previously known, the substituted Cu enhances the thermoelectric power, while it does not increase the resistivity…

We investigated the crystal structure, magnetic behavior, and optical properties of the layered honeycomb compound Na2Cu2TeO6. X-ray and neutron diffraction confirmed a monoclinic structure, with Cu ions arranged in dimerized chains.…

Ir-based materials have drawn much attention due to the observation of insulating phase believed to be driven by spin-orbit coupling while Ir 5$d$ states are expected to be weakly correlated due to their large orbital extensions. IrO$_2$, a…

Data taken by various kinds of methods including NMR/NQR and neutron scattering are presented for NaxCoO2, in particular, for Na0.5CoO2. Attentions have also been paid to the x dependence of the electronic nature. The pseudo-gap-like…

We have examined an isovalent Rh substitution effect on the transport properties of the thermoelectric oxide Ca$_3$Co$_{4}$O$_9$ using single-crystalline form. With increasing Rh content $x$, both the electrical resistivity and the Seebeck…

Calculations of the optical properties of GeTe in the cubic NaCl and rhombohedral ferroelectric structures are reported. The rhombohedral ferroelectric distortion increases the band gap from 0.11 eV to 0.38 eV. Remarkably, substantial…

We report a complete analysis of the formal oxidation state of Co in NaxCoO2, in the interval 0.31<x<0.67. Iodometric titration and thermoelectric power confirm that a direct relationship between the Na content and the amount of Co 3 +…

Black TiO2 nanoparticles with a crystalline-core and amorphous-shell structure exhibit superior optoelectronic properties in comparison with pristine TiO2. The fundamental mechanisms underlying these enhancements, however, remain unclear,…
