Charge order pervades the phase diagrams of quantum materials where it competes with superconducting and magnetic phases, hosts electronic phase transitions and topological defects, and couples to the lattice generating intricate structural…
A new variant of the superconducting fulleride $\mathrm{Rb_{3}C_{60}}$ is presented, with $\mathrm{^{3}He}$ atoms encapsulated in the $\mathrm{C_{60}}$ cages. The $\mathrm{^{3}He}$ nuclei act as sensitive NMR probes embedded in the…
We report the effect of Mn site substitution of Al on the structural, magnetic and transport properties of charge ordered Pr{_0.5}Ca{_0.5}MnO{_3}. This substitution introduces impurities in the Mn-O-Mn network, causes the Mn{^3+}/Mn{^4+}…
The nature of the cooperative Jahn-Teller (JT) transition accompanied by orbital order-disorder in Nd1-xCaxMnO3 has been studied by high temperature (300 - 1200K) synchrotron and laboratory X-ray powder diffraction in the low doping region…
Laser blow-off injections of aluminum and tungsten have been performed on the DIII-D tokamak to investigate the variation of impurity transport in a set of dedicated ion and electron heating scans with a fixed value of the external torque.…
Ferroelectricity in BaTiO3 was observed nearly eighty years ago, but the mechanism underlying its ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition remains elusive. The order-disorder transition has been recognized as playing a critical role,…
Using an atom-vacancy exchange algorithm, we investigate the kinetics of the order-disorder transition in an fcc A_3B binary alloy model following a temperature quench from the disordered phase. We observe two clearly distinct ordering…
This is the first study of the effect of pressure on transition metal dichalcogenides intercalated by atoms that order magnetically. Co$_{1/3}$NbS$_2$ is a layered system where the intercalated Co atoms order antiferromagnetically at T$_N$…
Me$_{3+\delta}$Ge, being a Weyl semimetal, shows a large anomalous Hall effect (AHE), which decreases slowly with an increase in $\delta$ from 0.1 to 0.4. However, AHE in this compound remains significantly large in the whole range of…
We propose a new way to treat the ordering of nuclear magnetism of solid $^{3}$He. We argue that the magnetic interaction arises indirectly as a consequence of correlated zero-point motion of the ions. This motion lowers the energy of the…
During the course of atomic transport in a host material, impurity atoms need to surmount an energy barrier driven by thermodynamic bias or at ultra-low temperatures by quantum tunneling. In the present article we demonstrate using…
Studies of the copper-based superconductors demonstrate how their phase diagram becomes more complex as experimental probes improve, able to distinguish among subtly different electronic phases. One of those phases, nematicity, has become…
Here, we report a systematic study on the Hall-effect of the semi-metallic state of bulk MoTe$_2$, which was recently claimed to be a candidate for a novel type of Weyl semi-metallic state. The temperature ($T$) dependence of the carrier…
Iron telluride (FeTe), a relative of the iron based high temperature superconductors, displays unusual magnetic order and structural transitions. Here we explore the idea that strong correlations may play an important role in these…
The conventional theory of superconducting alloys does not take into account a discreet character of impurities. Experimental data for superfluid $^3$He in aerogel and for some of high-$T_c$ superconductors reveal a significant discrepancy…
The effect of disorder on the superconducting transition temperature $T_{c}$ of cuprate superconductors is examined. Disorder is introduced into the cation sites in the plane adjacent to the CuO$_{2}$ planes of two single-layer systems,…
The development of oxidation-resistant high-entropy alloy (HEA) bond coats is restricted by the limited understanding of how multi-principal element interactions govern scale formation across temperatures. This study uncovers new oxidation…
Fe$_{1+y}$Te with $y \lesssim 0.05$ exhibits a first-order phase transition on cooling to a state with a lowered structural symmetry, bicollinear antiferromagnetic order, and metallic conductivity, $d\rho/dT > 0$. Here, we study samples…
Layered Li(Ni,Mn,Co,)O$_2$ (NMC) presents an intriguing ternary alloy design space for optimization as a cathode material in Li-ion batteries. Recently, the high cost and resource limitations of Co have added a new design constraint and…
The effect of quantum and thermal fluctuations on the phase diagram of spin-2 BECs is examined. They are found to play an important role in the nematic part of the phase diagram, where a mean-field treatment of two-body interactions is…
