Crystal growth of MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$ has delivered the first experimental corroboration of the 3D antiferromagnetic topological insulator state. Our present results confirm that the synthesis of MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$ can be scaled-up and…

Monophasic and homogeneous Ni10Zr7 nanocrystalline alloy films were successfully grown at room temperature by co-sputtering in an indigenously developed three-gun DC/RF magnetron sputtering unit. The films could be produced with long-range…

We report the synthesis of Y-substituted Mg-Zn ferrites using conventional standard ceramic technique. XRD patterns confirm the single phase cubic spinel structure up to x = 0.03 and appearance of a secondary phase of YFeO3for higher Y…

Phase transitions (liquid-solid, solid-solid) triggered by temperature changes are studied in free nanosized clusters of TeF_6 (SF_6) with different negative charges assigned to the fluorine atoms. Molecular dynamics simulations at constant…

The influence of zinc ions on the thermochromic properties of polycrystalline Cu$_{1-x}$Zn$_x$MoO$_4$ ($x$=0.10, 0.50, 0.90) solid solutions was studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Cu, Zn and Mo K-edges. Detailed structural…

A constant supply of oxygen has been assumed to be necessary for the growth of titanium nanoparticles by sputtering. This oxygen supply can arise from a high background pressure in the vacuum system or from a purposely supplied gas. The…

Nickel substitution at the cobalt site in NaxCoO2 induces a Metal Insulator Transition (MIT) and the temperature at which this occurs (TMIT) increases with Ni content. Low temperature far infrared measurements on polycrystalline samples of…

We report a Raman scattering investigation of KTa1-xNbxO3 (x = 0.35, 0.5) thin films deposited on MgO and LaAlO3 as a function of temperature. The observed phase sequence in the range from 90 K to 720 K is similar to the structural phase…

A qualitative analysis of the chiral phase transition in QCD with two massless quarks and non--zero baryon density is performed. It is assumed that at zero baryonic density, \rho=0, the temperature phase transition is of the second order.…

Single crystals of (Eu$_{1-x}$Ba$_x$)O have been grown in a molten barium-magnesium metal flux at temperatures up to 1000{\deg}C, producing single crystals of (Eu$_{1-x}$Ba$_x$)O with barium doping levels ranging from $x=0.03$ to $x=0.25$.…

Density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations have been performed on the Li-Si and Li-Ge systems. Lithiated Si and Ge, including their metastable phases, play an important technological r\^ole as Li-ion battery (LIB) anodes. The calculations…

The accurate prediction of solid-solid structural phase transitions at finite temperature is a challenging task, since the dynamics is so slow that direct simulations of the phase transitions by first-principles (FP) methods are typically…

We investigated the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and thermopower as a function of Nb content (x) in Ba0.7Eu0.3Ti1-xNbxO3 (x = 0.001- 0.10) in the temperature range T = 400-2 K. The substitution of Nb destabilizes the…

We report the time and temperature dependent response of thermopower in the non-magnetic perovskite oxide NdNiO$_3$. We find that on cooling below the metal-insulator transition temperature the system evolves into a phase separated state…

The thermoelectric properties between 10 and 300 K and the growth of single crystals of n-type and p-type GeBi4Te7, GeSb4Te7, and the Ge(Bi1-xSbx)4Te7 solid solution are reported. Single crystals were grown by the modified Bridgman method,…

Ni-rich cathode materials achieve both high voltages and capacities in Li-ion batteries but are prone to structural instabilities and oxygen loss via the formation of singlet oxygen. Using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we…

We have developed a simple, surfactant assisted synthesis route for the preparation, in gram quantities, of Co and Li doped ZnO nanocrystalline samples showing robust room temperature ferromagnetism. Our studies show that RTF is intrinsic…

The site-doping strategy of barium titanate (BaTiO3) is a promising way to develop new lead-free materials for energy with enhanced dielectric and piezoelectric properties. A novel strategy to elaborated pure and crystalline…

We report the temperature and time dependence of electrical resistivity on high temperature, high oxygen pressure prepared polycrystalline samples of NdNiO_3. NdNiO_3 is metallic above 195 K and below that temperature it undergoes a…
