ZrTe$_2$ is an outstanding layered semimetal due to the topologically nontrivial electronic structure. In this work, we present an investigation of the electronic evolution of ZrTe$_2$ in the presence of Fe intercalation, namely…
We study a four-fold symmetric dispersion relation of a quantum material, which exhibits a single high-order Van Hove singularity of X$_9$ type at the Fermi energy. First, we analyze in detail its form, type and density of states when the…
Temperature-dependent reflectivity measurements in the frequency range 85 - 7000 cm$^{-1}$ were performed on BaFe$_2$As$_2$ single crystals under pressure up to $\sim$5 GPa. The corresponding pressure- and temperature-dependent optical…
We examine an effect of acoustic phonon scattering on an electric conductivity of single-component molecular conductor [Pd(dddt)$_2$] (dddt = 5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin-2,3-dithiolate) with a half-filled band by applying the previous…
The transition-metal dichalcogenides have attracted a lot of attention as a possible stepping-stone toward atomically thin and flexible field-effect transistors. One key parameter to describe the charge transport is the time between two…
Competition between collective states like charge density wave and superconductivity is played out in some of the transition metal dichalcogenides unencumbered by the spin degrees of freedom. Although 2H-NbSe$_2$ has received much less…
Superconductors based on transition metal dichalcogenides are of substantial current relevance, towards attaining topological superconductivity. Here we report a detailed study on the synthesis and electromagnetic characterization of…
Neutron crystal-field spectroscopy experiments in the Y- and La-type high-temperature superconductors HoBa2Cu3O6.56, HoBa2Cu4O8, and La1.81Sr0.15Ho0.04CuO4 are reviewed. By this bulk-sensitive technique, information on the gap function is…
We review the contribution of infrared spectroscopy to the study of the pseudogap in high temperature superconductors. The pseudogap appears as a depression of the frequency dependent conductivity in the c-axis direction and seems to be…
The newly discovered kagome metals AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A = K, Rb, Cs) offer an exciting route to study exotic phases arising due to interplay between electronic correlations and topology. Besides superconductivity, these materials exhibit a…
The transition metal dichalcogenide $1T$-TiSe$_2$ is a quasi-two-dimensional layered material with a phase transition towards a commensurate charge density wave (CDW) at a critical temperature T$_{c}\approx 200$K. The relationship between…
The oxygen deficiency $\delta$ in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) plays a crucial role for affecting high-temperature superconductivity. We applied (coincident) Doppler broadening spectroscopy of the electron-positron annihilation line…
Semi-holography, originally proposed as a model for conducting lattice electrons coupled to a holographic critical sector, leads to an effective theory of non-Fermi liquids with only a few relevant interactions on the Fermi surface in the…
The interplay of different emergent phenomena -- superconductivity (SC) and domain formation -- appearing on different spatial and energy scales are investigated using high-resolution scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) in the…
Temperature-dependent reflectivity measurements on the kagome metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ in a broad frequency range of $50-20000$ cm$^{-1}$ down to $T$=10 K are reported. The charge-density wave (CDW) formed below $T_{\rm CDW}$ = 94 K manifests…
The origin of the exceptionally strong superconductivity of cuprates remains a subject of debate after more than two decades of investigation. Here we follow a new lead: The onset temperature for superconductivity scales with the strength…
We report a low-temperature specific heat study of high-quality single crystals of the heavily hole doped superconductor Ca$_{0.32}$Na$_{0.68}$Fe$_2$As$_2$. This compound exhibits bulk superconductivity with a transition temperature $T_c…
A charge-density-wave (CDW) is characterized by a dynamical order parameter consisting of a time-dependent amplitude and phase, which manifest as optically-active collective modes of the CDW phase. Studying the behaviour of such collective…
The recently discovered superconductor, UTe$_2$, has attracted immense scientific interest due to the experimental observations that suggest odd-parity superconductivity. It is believed that the material becomes a heavy-fermion metal at low…
Optical and Hall-effect measurements have been performed on single crystals of Pb$_{0.77}$Sn$_{0.23}$Se, a IV-VI mixed chalcogenide. The temperature dependent (10--300 K) reflectance was measured over 40--7000 cm$^{-1}$ (5--870 meV) with an…
