Superconductivity was achieved in Ti-doped iron-arsenide compound Sr4Cr0.8Ti1.2O6Fe2As2 (abbreviated as Cr-FeAs-42622). The x-ray diffraction measurement shows that this material has a layered structure with the space group of…

Heavily doped semiconductors are by far the most studied class of materials for thermoelectric applications in the past several decades. They have Seebeck coefficient values which are 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than metals, making them…

An index for the characterisation of the Perovskite type Superconductors is introduced. The index, denominated as Structural Parameter of High Tc Superconductivity (PESATc from its name in Spanish), is calculated using a Moebius Orbital…

Photoemission spectra of the perovskites Ca$_x$Sr$_{1-x}$VO$_3$, Ca$_x$La$_{1-x}$VO$_3$, and SrRuO$_3$ indicate that Coulomb correlations are more pronounced at the surface than in the bulk. To investigate this effect we use the dynamical…

${\beta}$- Eucryptite (LiAlSiO4) is a potential electrolyte for Li- ion battery due to its high Li- ion conductivity and very small volume thermal expansion coefficient. We have performed ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations of $\beta$-…

The phase diagram of the copper-oxide chain as a function of density and the nearest-neighbour Coulomb interaction, V, is determined. Phase separation takes place above a critical value of $V$ when the Cu2+ to Cu+ valence fluctuations…

Half-Heusler (HH) compounds have shown high Figure of merits up to 1.5. The key to these high thermoelectric efficiencies is an intrinsic phase separation, which occurs in multicomponent Half-Heusler compounds and leads to an significantly…

Topological superconductivity is an exotic phase of matter in which the fully gapped superconducting bulk hosts gapless Majorana surface states protected by topology. Intercalation of copper, strontium or niobium between the quintuple…

Interactions between emitters within an ensemble can give rise to cooperative processes that significantly alter the properties of the emitted light. One such process is superfluorescence (SF), where excited electric dipoles spontaneously…

The temperature ($T$) as a function of pressure ($P$) phase diagram is reported for the cubic Laves phase compound Au$_2$Pb, which was recently proposed to support linearly dispersing "topological" bands, together with conventional…

Although copper and bismuth do not form any compounds at ambient conditions, two intermetallics, CuBi and Cu$_{11}$Bi$_7$, were recently synthesized at high pressures. Here we report on the discovery of additional copper-bismuth phases at…

Perovskite oxides containing transition metals are promising materials in a wide range of electronic and electrochemical applications. However, neither their work function values nor an understanding of their work function physics have been…

We use density functional theory methods to study the electronic structures of a series of $s-p$ cubic perovskites $ABX_{3}$: the experimentally available SrBiO$_{3}$, BaBiO$_{3}$, BaSbO$_3$, CsTlF$_{3}$, and CsTlCl$_{3}$, as well as the…

Oxide interfaces feature unique two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems with diverse electronic properties such as tunable spin-orbit interaction and superconductivity. Conductivity emerges in these interfaces when the thickness of an…

Fabrication and characterization of instrument for high-temperature simultaneous measurement of Seebeck coefficient (S) and thermal conductivity ($\kappa$) has been carried out with python automation. The steady-state based Fourier's law of…

We have synthesized a new layered BiS$_{2}$-based compound SrFBiS2. This compound has similar structure to BiS2. It is built up by stacking up SrF layers and NaCl-type BiS2 layers alternatively along the c axis. Electric transport…

We found a new cobalt oxide (CaOH)1.14CoO2 by utilizing the high-pressure technique. X-ray and electron diffraction studies revealed that the compound has layer structure which consists of CdI2-type CoO2 layers and rock-salt-type double…

In this work, the thermo-optic coefficient (TOC) of the silicon-rich amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) thin film deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition is characterized. We found that the TOC of the film increases as its…

Through heavily doping sulfur into an apatite framework, we synthesize a new blend mainly comprising variant apatite and covellite (copper sulfide). Magnetic measurement exhibits that significant diamagnetism appears at around 260 K and…

The hybrid halide perovskites, the very performant compounds in photovoltaic applications, possess large Seebeck coefficient and low thermal conductivity making them potentially interesting high figure of merit ($ZT$) materials. For this…
