Producing a polarized lanthanum (La) target with high polarization and long relaxation time is crucial for realizing time-reversal violation experiments using polarized neutron beams. We use a LaAlO3 crystal doped with a small amount of…

We have attempted the crystal growth by the traveling-solvent floating-zone (TSFZ) method of La_{2-x}Ba_xCuO_4 with x~1/8, where the superconductivity is strongly suppressed. Under flowing O_2-gas of a high pressure (4 bars), we have…

Coatings of (Al1-xVx)2O3, with x ranging from 0 to 1, were deposited by pulsed DC reactive sputter deposition on Si(100) at a temperature of 550 {\deg}C. XRD showed three different crystal structures depending on V-metal fraction in the…

Fe$_{3}$Ga$_{4}$ displays a complex magnetic phase diagram that is sensitive and tunable with both electronic and crystallographic structure changes. In order to explore this tunability, vanadium-doped (Fe$_{1-x}$V$_{x}$)$_{3}$Ga$_{4}$ has…

Ga2O3 thin films were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from a liquid gallium target. The influence of deposition temperature, substrate type, and discharge parameters on the structural and electrical properties was systematically…

We report \emph{ab initio} predictions on the proper multiferroic (ferromagnetic, insulating and ferroelectric) character of PbTiO$_{3}$ doped with vanadium. V impurities coupled ferromagnetically carry a magnetization of 1 $\mu_{\rm B}$…

Single crystals of ${\rm Bi}_{2+x}{\rm Sr}_{2-x}{\rm Ca}_{2}{\rm Cu}_{3}{\rm O}_{10+\delta}$(Bi2223) with $x=0.2$ were grown by a traveling solvent floating zone method in order to investigate the superconducting properties of highly…

Controlling electronic population through chemical doping is one way to tip the balance between competing phases in materials with strong electronic correlations. Vanadium dioxide exhibits a first-order phase transition at around 338 K…

The optical properties of sodium-deficient NaxV2O5 (0.85 < x <1) single crystals are analyzed in the wide energy range, from 0.012 to 4.5 eV, using ellipsometry, infrared reflectivity, and Raman scattering techniques. The material remains…

The methodology of single crystal growth of metastable $\beta$-Ti alloy TIMETAL LCB in an optical floating zone furnace is presented in this paper. Chemical compositions of both precursor material and single crystals were checked. It was…

Vanadium dioxide undergoes a metal-insulator transition (MIT) from an insulating (monoclinic) to a metallic (tetragonal) phase close to room temperature, which makes it a promising functional material for many applications, e.g. as chemical…

The Mott-insulating rare-earth titanates (RTiO$_3$, R being a rare-earth ion) are an important class of materials that encompasses interesting spin-orbital phases as well as ferromagnet-antiferromagnet and insulator-metal transitions. The…

The systems Nb$_2$O$_5$-Ta$_2$O$_5$ and Nb$_2$O$_5$-V$_2$O$_5$ were investigated using thermal analysis, X-ray powder diffraction and thermodynamic simulations. Solid solution formation is possible for both systems; furthermore, both…

Precise control of the chemical valence or oxidation state of vanadium in vanadium oxide thin films is highly desirable for not only fundamental research, but also technological applications that utilize the subtle change in the physical…

We report crystal growth and below 2.5K superconductivity of Nb0.25Bi2Se3. These crystals are grown by self flux method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of as grown crystal flake shows (00l) plane (c-orientation) growth. The Rietveld…

The phase diagram of VO$_2$ strained or doped with several trivalent ions consists of four phases; in order of increasing temperatures, three (M1, T and M2) are insulating while the fourth (R), above ~340 K, is metallic. These phases and…

We numerically demonstrate a reconfigurable extraordinary terahertz transmission based on a phase-change material of vanadium dioxide (VO2). The proposed hybrid metasurface is composed of an array of subwavelength apertures perforated on a…

GeO$_2$ has an $\alpha$-quartz-type crystal structure with a very wide fundamental band gap of 6.6 eV and is a good insulator. Here we find that the stable rutile-GeO$_2$ polymorph with a 4.6 eV band gap has a surprisingly low $\sim$6.8 eV…
