Of the dense Kondo materials in the class CeTSb2 (where T = Au, Ag, Ni, Cu, or Pd), CeAgSb2 is special due to its complex magnetic ground state, which exhibits both ferro- and anti-ferromagnetic character below an ordering temperature TO ~…
We report a systematic study of high magnetic field specific heat and resistivity in single crystals of CeCoIn_5 for the field oriented in the basal plane (H//ab) of this tetragonal heavy fermion superconductor. We observe a divergent…
The valence state of Ce in a canonical heavy fermion compound CeRu2Si2 has been investigated by synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy at 1.8 K in high magnetic fields of up to 40 T. The valence was slightly larger than for the pure…
The magnetic behavior of the quaternary compounds, RCr2Si2C (R = La, Ce), has been investigated by magnetization (M) and heat-capacity (C) measurements (1.8-300 K) in the bulk polycrystals and nano forms (<1 {\mu}m) obtained by high-energy…
On the basis of the Ward-Pitaevskii identity, the residual resistivity $\rho_{0}$ is shown to exhibit huge enhancement around the quantum critical point of valence transition in Ce-based heavy electron systems. This explains a sharp peak of…
The specific heat down to 0.08 K of the iron pnictide superconductor KFe2As2 was measured on a single crystal sample with a residual resistivity ratio of ~650, with an onset Tc determined by specific heat of 3.7 K. The zero field normal…
We report a detailed study of the magnetic, transport, and thermodynamic properties of Ce$_2$Te$_5$ single crystals, a layered $f$-electron van der Waals magnet. Four consecutive transitions at $\sim$ 5.2, 2.1, 0.9, and 0.4 K were observed…
Unusual phases and phase transitions are seen at the magnetic-nonmagnetic boundary in Ce, Eu and Yb-based compounds. EuNi$_2$P$_{2}$ is a very unusual valence fluctuating Eu system, because at low temperatures the Eu valence stays close to…
A technique for measuring the electrical resistivity and absolute thermopower is presented for pressures up to 30 GPa, temperatures down to 25 mK and magnetic fields up to 10 T. With the examples of CeCu2Ge2 and CeCu2Si2 we focus on the…
We present evidence for unconventional superconducting fluctuations in a heavy-fermion compound CeNi$_2$Ge$_2$. The temperature dependence of the $^{73}$Ge nuclear-spin-lattice-relaxation rate $1/T_1$ indicates the development of magnetic…
CeNi$_{9}$Ge$_4$ exhibits unusual non-Fermi liquid behavior with the largest ever recorded value of the electronic specific heat $\Delta C/T \cong 5.5$ JK$^{-2}$mol$^{-1}$ without showing any evidence of magnetic order. Specific heat…
Many cerium-based heavy fermion (HF) compounds have pressure-temperature phase diagrams in which a superconducting region extends far from a magnetic quantum critical point. In at least two compounds, CeCu2Si2 and CeCu2Ge2, an enhancement…
We report a detailed study of the magnetic properties of CeCo$_{0.85}$Fe$_{0.15}$Si under high magnetic fields (up to 16 Tesla) measuring different physical properties such as specific heat, magnetization, electrical resistivity, thermal…
We present a systematic study of the nematic fluctuations in the iron chalcogenide superconductor Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ ($0 \leq x \leq 0.53$) using the elastoresistivity technique. Near $x = 0$, in proximity to the double-stripe…
We report low temperature specific heat, C, magnetization, M, susceptibility, chi, and electrical resistivity, rho, measurements on high-quality single crystals of the heavy-fermion system YbRh_2(Si_{1-x} Ge_x)_2 (x=0 and 0.05). The undoped…
CeCu$_2$Si$_2$ is an exemplary correlated electron metal that features two domes of unconventional superconductivity in its temperature-pressure phase diagram. The first dome surrounds an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point, whereas…
We report low-temperature specific heat measurements in magnetic fields up to 12 T applied parallel and perpendicular to the tetragonal c-axis of the heavy fermion superconductor Ce$_2$PdIn$_8$. In contrast to its quasi-two-dimensional (2D)…
Experimental investigation of the resistivity $\rho$, susceptibility $\chi$, specific heat C$_p$, and Hall coefficient R$_H$ of the pyrochlore Cd$_2$Re$_2$O$_7$ reveals the presence of a continuous phase transition of uncertain origin with…
The temperature-dependent electronic structures of heavy fermion compound CeB$_{6}$ are investigated thoroughly by means of the combination of density functional theory and single-site dynamical mean-field theory. The band structure,…
The magnetic nature of the altermagnet candidate RuO$_2$ remains under debate. It has been recently shown from quantum oscillations and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) that the high-quality RuO$_2$ bulk single crystal is a…
