The properties of the novel heavy fermion superconductor Ce$_3$PtIn$_{11}$ are investigated by thermodynamic and transport measurements at ambient and under hydrostatic pressure. At ambient pressure the compound exhibits two successive…

We present a neutron scattering investigation of Ce1-xYxAl3 as a function of chemical pressure, which induces a transition from heavy-fermion behavior in CeAl3 (TK=5 K) to a mixed-valence state at x=0.5 (TK=150 K). The crossover can be…

The low-temperature behavior of Ce2RuZn4 has been investigated. Specific heat and magnetic susceptibility data reveal an antiferromagnetic transition at a Neel temperature of 2 K. Ce2RuZn4 is a static intermediate-valent compound with two…

Cerium-based lanthanide high-entropy oxides (LN-HEOs) are promising candidates for solid-state electrolyte (mass transport) applications due to their ability to accommodate high concentrations of oxygen vacancies while retaining a…

Investigations within the local spin density functional theory (LSDF) of the intermetallic hydride system $ {\rm CeRhSnH_x} $ were carried out for discrete model compositions in the range $ 0.33 \leq x_H \leq 1.33 $. The aim of this study…

We report on detailed low temperature measurements of the magnetization, the specific heat and the electrical resistivity on high quality CeRuSn single crystals. The compound orders antiferromagnetically at $T_{\rm N} = 2.8$ K with the…

The structural stability of CeFe$_{12}$ is investigated by using first-principles calculation. The formation energies of CeFe$_{12}$ relative to the Ce$_{2}$Fe$_{17}$ + bcc-Fe phase and to the CeFe$_{2}$ + bcc-Fe phase are calculated with…

Spectra of x-ray absorption and magnetic circular dichroism were measured at M4,5(3d) and L2,3(2p) edges of Ce in multilayers [Ce(1-x)Six/Fe]xn, with x between 0.1 and 0.65. The study uncovers the highly correlated nature of this layered…

Cerium hexaboride is a cubic f-electron heavy-fermion compound that displays a rich array of low-temperature magnetic ordering phenomena which have been the subject of investigation for more than 50 years. Its complex behaviour is the…

High-entropy oxide (HEO) thin films uniquely superimpose exceptional chemical disorder with exceptional crystalline quality and coherence - an intersection we term anomalous crystallinity that arises from coupled structural, chemical, and…

Ceria (CeO$_{2}$) co-doping has been suggested as a means to achieve ionic conductivities that are significantly higher than those in singly-doped systems. Rekindled interest in this topic over the last decade has given rise to claims of…

The magnetic properties of Ce in the $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ phase are calculated within the LDA+DMFT approach. The magnetic susceptibility in these two phases shows a similar behavior over a wide temperature range: a Curie-Weiss law at high…

Studies connected with the investigations of non-Fermi liquid (NFL) systems continue to attract interest in condensed matter physics community. Understanding the anomalous physical properties exhibited by such systems and its related…

We report on the spin densities in CeRuSn determined at elevated and at low temperatures using polarized neutron diffraction. At 285 K, where the CeRuSn crystal structure, commensurate with the CeCoAl type, contains two different…

In the Fe-Mo based B-site ordered double-perovskite, A2FeMoO6.0, with iron in the mixed-valence II/III state, the valence value of Fe is not precisely fixed at 2.5 but may be fine-tuned by means of applying chemical pressure at the A-cation…

We have performed Ce $L_3$-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and Ce $4d$-$4f$ resonant photoemission spectroscopy (PES) on single crystals of CeO$_{1-x}$F$_x$BiS$_2$ for $x=0.0$ and 0.5 in order to investigate the Ce $4f$ electronic…

CeO$_x$-based nanoforms are widely used in catalysis, or biomedical applications due to their redox activity and oxygen storage capacity. The key parameters determining their surface chemistry are the Ce$^{3+}$/Ce$^{4+}$ ratio and the…

The potential applications of dilute magnetic oxides (DMOs) in magneto-optic and spintronic devices have attracted significant attention, although understanding their magnetic behavior is complex due to intricate interactions of intrinsic…

Bulk Au-Fe alloys separate into Au-based fcc and Fe-based bcc phases, but L1$_0$ and L1$_2$ orderings were reported in single-phase Au-Fe nanoparticles. Motivated by these observations, we study the structural and ordering energetics in…

We have performed Ce $L_3$-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements on CeO$_{1-x}$F$_x$BiS$_2$, in which the superconductivity of the BiS$_2$ layer and the ferromagnetism of the CeO$_{1-x}$F$_x$ layer are induced by the…
