We present thermodynamic, structural and transport measurements on Ba(Fe0.973Cr0.027)2As2 single crystals. All measurements reveal sharp anomalies at ~ 112 K. Single crystal x-ray diffraction identifies the structural transition as a first…
Ba2CaMoO6 was synthesized by solid state method. The crystal structure adopts cubic Fm-3m space group at room temperature with lattice parameters of 8.378231(5) {angstroms}. Upon cooling, Ba2CaMoO6 was determined to have a structural phase…
The layered delafossite compound AgNiO$_2$ with $2H$ stacking symmetry undergoes a structural metal-to-metal transition at $T_{\rm S}\sim 365$ K. It has been described in the past as a charge-ordering transition, where local $S=1$ spins are…
We present magnetic and transport properties of PrRh$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ single crystals which exhibit antiferromagnetic order below T$_{N}$ = 68 K. Well defined anomalies due to magnetic phase transition are observed in magnetic susceptibility,…
We report an optimized chemical vapor transport method to grow single crystals of (Mn$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_2$P$_2$S$_6$ where x = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 & 1. Single crystals up to 4\,mm\,$\times$\,3\,mm\,$\times$\,200\,$\mu$m were obtained by this…
We report superconductivity in single crystals of the new iron-pnictide system BaFe1.9Pt0.1As2 grown by a self-flux solution method and characterized via x-ray, transport, magnetic and thermodynamic measurements. The magnetic ordering…
Structural, magnetization and heat capacity studies were performed on Ce$_2$(Pd$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_2$Sn ($0 \leq x \leq 1$) alloys. The substitution of Pd atoms by isoelectronic Ni leads to a change in the crystallographic structure from…
