We have carried out a detailed experimental investigation on CuO using dielectric constant, ac resistance, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements at high pressures and room temperature. Both dielectric constant and dielectric…

We investigate the structural and magnetic properties of two molecule-based magnets synthesized from the same starting components. Their different structural motifs promote contrasting exchange pathways and consequently lead to markedly…

The phase diagram of electron-doped pnictides is studied varying the temperature, electronic density, and isotropic quenched disorder strength by means of computational techniques applied to a three-orbital ($xz$, $yz$, $xy$) spin-fermion…

This paper describes a novel method to increase the resistive Tc of cuprate superconductors to values that might approach room temperature if the method is applied to the so-called underdoped regime. This involves ordering the dopants that…

We present a quantitative theory for the effects of correlated doping on the ferromagnetism of diluted magnetic semiconductors. It predicts that room temperature ferromagnetism should be possible in homogeneous, but correlated, samples of…

In metal/degenerately doped silicon bilayer structure, the interfacial flexoelectric effect due to strain gradient leads to charge carrier transfer from metal layer to the silicon layer. This excess charge carrier concentration is called…

We report on the interplay of localized and extended degrees of freedom in the metallic state of high-temperature superconductors in a multiband setting. Various ways in which the bare magnetic response may become incommensurate are…

Multiferroics with $d^9$ electronic configurations, such as $SnCuO_2$, $PbCuO_2$, and $BiNiO_2$, exhibit coexisting antiferromagnetic order and ferroelectricity. Motivated by the fundamental link between symmetry breaking, strong electron…

Here we study the effect of La doping in EuO thin films using SQUID magnetometry, muon spin rotation ($\mu$SR), polarized neutron reflectivity (PNR), and density functional theory (DFT). The $\mu$SR data shows that the…

The multiferroic properties of EuTiO3 are greatly enhanced when a sample is strained, signifying that coupling between strain and structural, magnetic or ferroelectric order parameters is extremely important. Here resonant ultrasound…

We describe the high-temperature superconductor La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ in the underdoped regime in terms of a mixed-phase model, which consists of superconducting clusters embedded in the antiferromagnetic matrix. Our work is motivated by…

We performed field-angle-resolved magnetostriction and thermal-expansion measurements on PrIr$_2$Zn$_{20}$, a cubic non-Kramers compound exhibiting antiferroquadrupolar order below $T_{\rm Q}=0.125$ K. Thermal expansion exhibits two…

We study magnetic state and electron transport properties of composite multiferroic system consisting of a granular ferromagnetic thin film placed above the ferroelectric substrate. Ferroelectricity and magnetism in this case are coupled by…

We examine the low-temperature magnetic properties of moderately doped LaSrCuO paying particular attention to the spin-glass (SG) phase and the C-IC transition as they are affected by Sr impurity disorder. New measurements of the…

We describe from advanced first principles calculations the energetics of oxygen doping and its relation to insulator-metal transitions in underdoped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$. We find a strong tendency of doping oxygens to order into…

We examine the effects of strain and cation substitution on the superconducting phase of polar semiconductors near a ferroelectric quantum phase transition with a model that combines a strong coupling theory of superconductors with a…

Neutron scattering experiments were performed on the undoped and hole-doped Ca$_{2+x}$Y$_{2-x}$Cu$_5$O$_{10}$, which consists of ferromagnetic edge-sharing CuO$_2$ chains. It was previously reported that in the undoped…

Ground state and finite temperature properties of a system of coupled frustrated and/or dimerized spin-1/2 chains modeling e.g. the CuGeO$_3$ compound are reviewed. Special emphasis is put on the investigation of the role of impurity…

Based on the Density Functional Theory calculations, we propose a new pathway toward compounds featuring flat [AgF2] layers which mimic [CuO2] layers in high-temperature oxocuprate superconductor precursors. Calculations predict the dynamic…

We investigate the electronic and structural properties of CuO, which shows significant deviations from the trends obeyed by other transition-metal monoxides. Using an extended Hubbard corrective functional, we uncover an orbitally ordered…
