In a recent publication Larson \textit{et al.} reported remarkably clear $d$-$d$ excitations for NiO and CoO measured with x-ray energies well below the transition metal $K$ edge. In this letter we demonstrate that we can obtain an accurate…

We have performed a magnetic study of a bulk metallic sample of Nb with critical temperature $T_{c}=8.5$ K. Magnetization versus temperature (M {\it vs} T) data obtained for fixed magnetic fields above 1 kOe show a superconducting…

We report the observation of temperature dependent electronic excitations in various manganites utilizing resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Mn K-edge. Excitations were observed between 1.5 and 16 eV with temperature…

The temperature dependence of the excitation spectrum in NaOsO$_{\text{3}}$ through its metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) at 410 K has been investigated using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Os L$_{\text{3}}$ edge. High…

We report a high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of La2CuO4. A number of spectral features are identified that were not clearly visible in earlier lower-resolution data. The momentum dependence of the spectral weight…

Optical reflectivity study has been made on the hexagonal (NiAs-type) Ni_{1-d}S in order to probe its electronic properties, in particular those associated with the metal-nonmetal transition in this compound. Samples with d=0.005 and 0.02…

Wide-band-gap insulators such as NiO offer the exciting prospect of coherently manipulating electronic correlations with strong optical fields. Contrary to metals where rapid dephasing of optical excitation via electronic processes occurs,…

Luminescence spectra of NiO have been investigated under vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and soft X-ray (XUV) excitation. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra show broad emission bands centered at about 2.3 and 3.2 eV. The PL excitation (PLE) spectral…

We have measured magnetization M(T,H), electrical resistivity ro(T,H), thermal conductivity k(T,H), and thermopower S(T,H) of polycrystalline samples of Nd1-xEuxNiO3; 0 <= x <= 0.35; as a function of temperature and external magnetic field.…

High-resolution synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements were performed on single crystalline and powder samples of BiMn2O5. A linear temperature dependence of the unit cell volume was found between T_{N}=38$ K and 100 K, suggesting that…

We have performed ab-initio lattice dynamics and molecular dynamics studies of Li2X (X=O, S and Se) to understand the ionic conduction in these compounds. The inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Li2O have been performed across its…

The optical properties of Nd$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ thin films have been studied from 5 meV to 25 meV and from 0.25 eV to 3 eV, at temperatures from 15 K to 300 K and magnetic fields up to 8.9 T. A large transfer of spectral weight from…

We use femtosecond electron diffraction to study ultrafast lattice dynamics in the highly correlated antiferromagnetic (AF) semiconductor NiO. Using the scattering vector (Q) dependence of Bragg diffraction, we introduce a Q-resolved…

We report the electronic properties of the NdNiO3, prepared at the ambient oxygen pressure condition. The metal-insulator transition temperature is observed at 192 K, but the low temperature state is found to be less insulating compared to…
