Structural and magnetic properties of the CoMn$_{0.88}$Cu$_{0.12}$Ge compound have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) accompanied with investigation of magnetic properties under…

We report the temperature dependence of transport and magnetic properties of La$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$VO$_3$ for x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5. The system exhibits an insulator-to-metal transition concomitant with an…

For many years a spin-state transition at $T \approx 100 K$ and insulator - metal transition (IMT) at $T_{IMT} \approx 600 K$ in LaCoO$_3 $ remains a mystery. Small low-spin - high-spin spin gap $\Delta _S = E\left( {HS} \right) - E\left(…

First-order phase transitions in solids are notoriously challenging to study. The combination of change in unit cell shape, long range of elastic distortion, and flow of latent heat leads to large energy barriers resulting in domain…

We report on the structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of two new double-perovskites synthesized under high pressure; Pb2CaOsO6 and Pb2ZnOsO6. Upon cooling below 80 K, Pb2CaOsO6 simultaneously undergoes a metal--insulator…

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) has drawn significant attention for its near room temperature insulator to metal transition and associated structural phase transition. The underlying Physics behind the temperature induced insulator to metal and…

We have measured the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in high-mobility Si MOS structures over a wide range of the carrier densities n > 0.77x10^{11}/cm^2. This range includes the critical density n_c of the metal-insulator transition (2D MIT)…

The spin-orbit Mott insulator Sr3Ir2O7 provides a fascinating playground to explore insulator-metal transition driven by intertwined charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom. Here, we report high pressure electric resistance and…

The two-dimensional organic conductor $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ undergoes a metal-insulator transition at $T_{\rm CO}=135$ K due to electronic charge ordering. We have conducted time-resolved investigations of its electronic properties…

Insulator-to-metal transition materials are highly sensitive to even minute deviations of stoichiometry, lattice defects, and disorder, which provides opportunities to engineer their electrical switching characteristics. Using V2O3 as a…

The ferrimagnetic spinel $\mathrm{CoV_2O_4}$ has been a topic of intense recent interest, both as a frustrated insulator with unquenched orbital degeneracy and as a near-itinerant magnet which can be driven metallic with moderate applied…

Complex magneto structural behaviour of rare rich intermetallic Tb$_3$Co is reported in this study. Below the 84K (T$_N$), it undergoes a first order magnetic transition 72K confirmed from specific heat and magnetization measurements.…

Measurements of conductance $G$ on short, wide, high-mobility Si-MOSFETs reveal both a two-dimensional metal-insulator transition (MIT) at moderate temperatures (1 $<~ T <$ 4~K) and mesoscopic fluctuations of the conductance at low…

The magnetic transport properties have been measured for La0.67-xYxCa0.33MnO3 (0 <= x <= 0.14) system. It was found that the transition temperature Tp almost linearly moves to higher temperature as H increases. Electron spin resonance…

The pressure-induced insulator to metal transition (IMT) of layered magnetic nickel phosphorous tri-sulfide NiPS3 was studied in-situ under quasi-uniaxial conditions by means of electrical resistance (R) and X-ray diffraction (XRD)…

We demonstrate for the first time a linear-zigzag phase transition induced solely by temperature of the $^{40}$Ca$^{+}$ ion crystals in a surface-electrode trap. In contrast to the previously observed counterparts based on change of the…

We employ a combination of the \emph{ab initio} band structure methods and dynamical mean-field theory to determine the electronic structure and phase stability of paramagnetic FeO at high pressure and temperature. Our results reveal a…

The electronic transport properties and the magnetic susceptibility were measured in detail in $YBaCo_2O_{5.45}$. Close to the so-called metal-insulator transition, strong effects of resistance relaxation, a clear thermal hysteresis and a…

We performed point-contact spectroscopy tunneling measurements on single crystal BaPb$_{1-x}$Bi$_x$O$_3$ for $x=0$, $0.19$, $0.25$, and $0.28$ at temperatures ranging from $T=2-40$ K and find a suppression in the density of states at low…

Materials that undergo reversible metal-insulator transitions are obvious candidates for new generations of devices. For such potential to be realised, the underlying microscopic mechanisms of such transitions must be fully determined. In…
