The effect of atomic disorder induced by neutron irradiation on the crystal structure and electronic states near $E_F$ of the lightly overdoped LaFeAsO$_{0.85}$F$_{0.15}$ ($T_c=21K$) was studied by X-ray diffraction and $^{75}$As NMR. The…

Motivated by the discovery of superconductivity in F-doped LaFeAsO, we investigated the magnetic fluctuations in a related compound Fe(Se1-xTex)0.92 (x = 0.75, 1) using neutron scattering techniques. Non-superconducting FeTe0.92 shows…

Neutron diffraction experiments have been carried out on a Sn-flux grown BaFe2As2 single crystal, the parent compound of the A-122 family of FeAs-based high-Tc superconductors. A tetragonal to orthorhombic structural phase transition and a…

We report physical and structural properties of single-crystal Ca2Ru1-xFexO4 (0<x<0.20) as functions of temperature, magnetic field and pressure. Ca2RuO4 is a structurally-driven Mott insulator with a metal-insulator (MI) transition at TMI…

We present measurements of the thermal expansion coefficient alpha of polycrystalline LaFeAsO1-xFx (x <= 0.1). The magnetic and structural transitions of the samples with x <= 0.04 give rise to large anomalies in alpha(T), while the onset…

Establishing a complete electronic phase diagram for REFeAsO (RE = rare earth, RE1111) ironbased superconductors has remained experimentally challenging. Here, we report a systematic investigation of PrFeAsO1-xFx over the full nominal…

We discovered unique uniaxial negative thermal expansion (NTE) behavior for a weak-itinerant-ferromagnetic phase of CoZr$_{2}$H$_{3.49}$. CoZr$_{2}$ is known as a superconductor exhibiting uniaxial NTE along the $c$-axis, which is called…

We investigate Mn substitution at the Fe site in PrFe1-xMnxAsO0.7F0.3 (0 to 0.1) using structural, Raman, density functional theory (DFT), transport, and magnetic measurements. X-ray diffraction and Raman analyses confirm preferential Mn…

The discovery of unusual negative thermal expansion (NTE) provides the opportunity to control the common but much desired property of thermal expansion, which is valuable not only in scientific interests but also in practical applications.…

Magnetization, susceptibility, specific heat, resistivity, neutron and x-ray diffraction have been used to characterize the properties of single crystalline CaFe2-xNixAs2 as a function of Ni doping for x varying from 0 to 0.1. The combined…

Different element substitution effects in transition metal oxypnictide Re(O$_{1-x}$F$_x$)TAs with Re=La, Ce, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tm, T=Fe, Ni, Ru, were studied. Similar to the La- or Ce-based systems, we found that the pure NdOFeAs shows a strong…

Neutron diffraction and muon spin relaxation measurements are used to obtain a detailed phase diagram of Pr(Fe,Ru)AsO. The isoelectronic substitution of Ru for Fe acts effectively as spin dilution, suppressing both the structural and…

The structural details in Pr1-xSrxFeAsO (1111) superconducting system are analyzed using data obtained from synchrotron X-ray diffraction and the structural parameters are carefully studied as the system is moving from non-superconducting…

We report a comprehensive neutron diffraction study of the crystal structure and magnetic order in a series of single-crystal and powder samples of SrFeO$_{3-\delta}$ in the vacancy range $0 \leq \delta \leq 0.23$. The data provide detailed…

A high-quality PrFeAsO$_{1-\delta}$ single crystal ($T_{\rm c}=44$ K) has been investigated by the magnetic torque. Antiferromagnetism of the Pr$^{3+}$ ions was found to coexist with superconductivity in PrFeAsO$_{1-\delta}$ at temperatures…

The rare physical property of negative thermal expansion (NTE) is intriguing because materials with large NTE over a wide temperature range can serve as high-performance thermal expansion compensators. However, applications of NTE are…

We report the successful growth of epitaxial thin films of FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$ with $x \leq 0.43$ via pulsed laser deposition. As S content increases, the nematic transition temperature, $T_{\mathrm s}$, decreases systematically and the…

We use variable-temperature (150--300\,K) single-crystal X-ray diffraction to re-examine the interplay between structure and dynamics in the ambient phase of the isotropic negative thermal expansion (NTE) material Cd(CN)$_2$. We find strong…

We report the realization of superconductivity by 5d element Ir doping in LaFeAsO, a prototype parent compound of high-temperature iron based superconductors. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the material has formed the…

In this study, we report for the first time the occurrence and investigation of the negative thermal expansion (NTE) effect in rare-earth pyrochlores. It is found that the NTE originates from the migration of oxygen anions from 48f sites to…
