We report 7Li-NMR studies on LiInCr4O8 and LiGaCr4O8, in which Cr3+ ions with spin 3/2 form a breathing pyrochlore lattice, a network of tetrahedra with alternating sizes. In LiInCr4O8 with large alternation, the nuclear relaxation rate…

The Raman, IR and force field have been investigated for A2Mn2O7 (A= Tl, In) by means of a short-range force constant model which includes four stretching and four bending force constants. Unusual spectral and force field changes are…

In this study, we employ bulk electronic properties characterization and x-ray scattering/spectroscopy techniques to map the structural, magnetic and electronic properties of (Eu$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$)$_{2}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$ as a function of…

Generally, lattice distortions play a key role in determining the ground states of materials. Although it is well known that trigonal distortions are generic to most two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, the impact of this…

Phase diagram of a spin-ice type Kondo lattice model, potentially relevant to metallic pyrochlore oxides, is obtained by the Monte Carlo simulation implementing the polynomial expansion technique up to the system size with 2048 sites. We…

When the spins on the frustrated pyrochlore lattice obey the celebrated 2-$in$-2-$out$ ice rule, they stay in a correlated disordered phase and break the third law of thermodynamics. Similarly, if the atomic ions on the pyrochlore lattice…

We report physical property characterization of Bi2-xMxRu2O7 pyrochlores, including magnetic suseptibility, resistivity, and Seebeck coefficients. The solid solution exists up to x=0.5 for (M=Cu,Ni,Co) and up to x=0.1 for (M=Fe,Mn). None of…

Magnetic, thermal and transport properties of the non-centrosymmetric compound Eu$_2$Pd$_2$Sn are revisited after including new measurements. In its paramagnetic phase, the outstanding feature of this compound is the formation of Eu$^{2+}$…

The geometrically-frustrated spin glass Y2Mo2O7 has been considered widely to be crystallographically ordered with a unique nearest neighbor magnetic exchange interaction, J. To test this assertion, we present x-ray-absorption…

New materials based on Kagome lattices, predicted to host exotic quantum physics because they can display flat electronic bands, Dirac cones and topologically nontrivial surface states, are strongly desired. Here we report the crystal…

The combination of magnetic symmetries and electronic band topology provides a promising route for realizing topologically nontrivial quasiparticles, and the manipulation of magnetic structures may enable the switching between topological…

The electronic properties of quarter-filled organic materials showing spin-Peierls transition are investigated theoretically. By studying the one-dimensional extended Peierls-Hubbard model analytically as well as numerically, we find that…

While pyrochlore iridate thin films are theoretically predicted to possess a variety of emergent topological properties, experimental verification of these predictions can be obstructed by the challenge in thin film growth. Here we report…

We report magnetic and inter-plane transport properties of Ca3Ru2O7 at high magnetic fields and low temperatures. Ca3Ru2O7 with a bilayered orthorhombic structure is a Mott-like system with a narrow charge gap of 0.1eV. Of a host of unusual…

We present a pressure study of the electrical resistivity, AC magnetic susceptibility and powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) of the newly discovered BiS$_2$-based superconductor EuBiS$_2$F. At ambient pressure, EuBiS$_2$F shows an anomaly in…

Geometric frustration inhibits magnetic systems from ordering, opening a window to unconventional phases of matter. The paradigmatic frustrated lattice in three dimensions to host a spin liquid is the pyrochlore, although there remain few…

The crystal structure, resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility of the Li2Ir1-xRuxO3 (x = 0-1) polycrystals have been investigated. We found that the parent antiferromagnetic phase disappears for x > 0.2 and bond dimers appear in the…

We report the low temperature magnetic properties of Ce$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$, a rare-earth pyrochlore. Our susceptibility and magnetization measurements show that due to the thermal isolation of a Kramers doublet ground state, Ce$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$…

The effect of layer-by-layer heterostructuring and epitaxial strain on lattice instabilities and related ferroelectric properties is investigated from first principles for the [001]-(PbTiO$_3$)$_1$(PbZrO$_3$)$_1$ superlattice and pure…

An external orbital magnetic field applied perpendicular to the separation vector of a pair of Weyl points can couple them and induce a gap in the electronic spectrum. In this work, we investigate the gap-opening behavior in the presence of…
