Superconducting Nb thin films with rectangular arrays of submicron antidots have been systemically investigated by transport measurements. In low fields, the magnetoresistance curves demonstrate well-defined dips at integral and rational…

We have studied the half-Heusler compound TbPdBi through resistivity, magnetization, Hall effect and heat capacity measurements. A semimetal behavior is observed in its normal state transport properties, which is characterized by a large…

We report neutron scattering and transport measurements on semiconducting Rb$_{0.8}$Fe$_{1.5}$S$_2$, a compound isostructural and isoelectronic to the well-studied $A_{0.8}$Fe$_{y}$Se$_2 (A=$ K, Rb, Cs, Tl/K) superconducting systems. Both…

Both Nb$_3$Pd$_x$Se$_7$ and Ta$_4$Pd$_3$Te$_{16}$ crystallize in a monoclinic point group while exhibiting superconducting transition temperatures as high as $T_c\sim 3.5$ and $\sim 4.7 $ K, respectively. Disorder was claimed to lead to the…

The possibility of inducing superconductivity in type-I Weyl semimetal through coupling its surface to a superconductor was investigated. A single crystal of NbP, grown by chemical vapor transport method, was carefully characterized by XRD,…

The superconductor Nb$_3$Sn has a high critical temperature and high critical field, widely used for high-field superconducting magnets. In this work we investigate its microscopic electronic structure with $^{93}$Nb nuclear magnetic…

We report the evolution of structural, magnetic, transport, and electronic properties of bulk polycrystalline La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$Co$_{1-x}$Nb$_x$O$_3$ ($x =$ 0.025--0.25) samples. The Rietveld refinement of the x-ray diffraction patterns…

We report on the phase formation and the superconducting properties in the NbS$_2$ system. Specifically, we have performed a series of standardized solid-state syntheses in this system, which allow us to establish a comprehensive synthesis…

We report the discovery of superconductivity in noncentrosymmetric NbReSi, which crystallizes in a hexagonal ZrNiAl-type crystal structure with space group $P\bar{6}2m$ (No.~189). Bulk superconductivity, with $T_c$ = 6.5 K was characterized…

A perfect topological superconductor can be realized by the simultaneous existence of bulk superconductivity along with topological non-trivial surface states. In this article, we report single crystal growth of superconducting binary…

Compounds with the A15 structure have attracted extensive attention due to their superconductivity and nontrivial topological band structure. We have successfully grown Nb$_3$Sb single crystals with a A15 structure and systematically…

We report on the discovery, structural analysis, and the physical properties of Nb$_4$SiSb$_2$ -- a hitherto unknown compound crystallizing in the V$_4$SiSb$_2$-type structure with the tetragonal space group $I4/mcm$ and unit cell…

NiBi3 polycrystals were synthesized via a solid state method. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the main phase present in the sample corresponds to NiBi3 in a weight fraction of 96.82 % according to the refinement of the crystalline…

Accessing unexplored conditions in crystal growth often reveals remarkable surprises and new regimes of physical behavior. In this work, performing molecular beam epitaxy of the technologically important superconductor NbN at temperatures…

We performed an extensive investigation on the correlations among superconductivity, structural instability and band filling in Nb1-xB2 materials. Structural measurements reveal that a notable phase transformation occurs at x=0.2,…

Here we investigate the thermodynamic and electronic properties of Eu$_{11}$InSb$_9$ single crystals. Electrical transport data show that Eu$_{11}$InSb$_9$ has a semiconducting ground state with a relatively narrow band gap of $320$~meV.…

Polycrystalline samples of NbB2+x with nominal composition (B/Nb) = 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The spectra revealed Nb and B oxides on the surface of the samples, mainly B2O3 and…

The quasi-one-dimensional (q1D) material Rb$_2$Mo$_6$Se$_6$ has been proposed to display a nontrivial combination of low-dimensional fluctuations and a dynamical charge density wave (CDW) at ambient pressure. This may lead to a progressive…

We examine the evidence for multiband superconductivity and non s-wave pairing in the non-centrosymmetric superconductor Nb$_{0.18}$Re$_{0.82}$, using electrical transport, magnetization and specific heat measurements. In the normal state,…

The noncentrosymmetric superconductor Mo$_3$Rh$_2$N, with $T_c = 4.6$ K, adopts a $\beta$-Mn-type structure (space group $P$4$_1$32), similar to that of Mo$_3$Al$_2$C. Its bulk superconductivity was characterized by magnetization and…
