Magnetically pure spinel compound ${\rm LiV_2O_4}$ is a rare $d$-electron heavy fermion. Measurements on single crystals are needed to clarify the mechanism for the heavy fermion behavior in the pure material. In addition, it is known that…

A new disordered atom configuration in Fe2CrGa alloy has been created by ball-milling method. This leads to a significant enhancement of the magnetic moment up to 3.2~3.9 {\mu}B and an increase of Curie temperature by about 200 K, compared…

Heat capacity experiments, crystal structure determination and transmission electron microscopy have been carried out on U3Cu3Sn4 single-crystals. U3Cu3Sn4 was confirmed to be a heavy-fermion antiferromagnet (TN=13(1) K) with a low…

We performed first-principles calculations at finite temperatures to investigate the temperature dependence of the magnetic properties, such as exchange stiffness constants and Curie temperatures, of Co2MnZ (Z= Si, Al) assuming L21 and B2…

Alloys of hexagonal $\delta$-phase UZr$_2$ have been synthesized and studied by means of heat capacity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, electrical resistivity, magnetoresistance, thermoelectric power, thermal conductivity…

ErAl$_3$ can form in either a trigonal ($\alpha$) or cubic ($\beta$) polymorph and this paper investigates the physical properties of these polymorphs through characterizations of single crystals grown in an aluminum flux. We demonstrate…

Neutron and x-ray diffraction measurements are presented for powders and single crystals of CaCo{1.86}As2. The crystal structure is a collapsed-tetragonal ThCr2Si2-type structure as previously reported, but with 7(1)% vacancies on the Co…

A very fundamental property of both weakly and strongly interacting materials is the nature of its magnetic response. In this work we detail the growth of crystals of the quasicrystal approximant Fe$_4$Al$_{13}$ with an Al flux solvent…

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdWs) materials have gathered a lot of attention recently. However, the majority of these materials have Curie temperatures that are well below room temperature, making it challenging to incorporate them…

We report on a ternary intermetallic compound, "YMn2Zn20", comprising a pyrochlore lattice made of Mn atoms. A series of In-doped single crystals undergo no magnetic long-range order down to 0.4 K, in spite of the fact that the Mn atom…

Polycrystalline samples of four intermetallic compounds: MV$_2$Al$_{20}$ (M = Sc, Y, La, and Lu) were synthesized using an arc-melting technique. The crystal structures were analyzed by means of powder x-ray diffraction and Rietveld…

A new series of cubic double perovskites Ba$_2R_{2/3}$TeO$_6$ ($R$ = Y, La, Pr, Nd, Sm-Lu) was synthesized via solid state reaction. The $R^{3+}$ and Te$^{6+}$ ions are ordered on alternating octahedral sites, with the rare earth sites 2/3…
