We report the structural, magnetic, transport and electronic properties of Nb substituted LaCo$_{1-x}$Nb$_x$O$_3$ ($x =$ 0--0.2). The Rietveld analysis of x-ray diffraction data demonstrate structural phase transitions from rhombohedral to…
From the perspective of bond relaxation and vibration, we have reconciled the Raman shifts of graphene under the stimuli of the number-of-layer, uni-axial-strain, pressure, and temperature in terms of the response of the length and strength…
First-principles density-functional calculations within the local-density approximation and the pseudopotential approach are used to study and characterize the ferroelastic phase transition in calcium chloride (CaCl_2). In accord with…
The dynamical conductivity of interacting multiband electronic systems derived in Ref.[1] is shown to be consistent with the general form of the Ward identity. Using the semiphenomenological form of this conductivity formula, we have…
We have investigated the pressure-induced phase transition and superconducting properties of niobium disulfide (NbS$_2$) based on the density functional theory. The structures of NbS$_2$ at pressures from 0 to 200 GPa were predicted using…
The debate whether uranium 5f electrons are closer to being localized or itinerant in the ferromagnetic compound UGa2 is not yet fully settled. The experimentally determined magnetic moments are large, approximately 3 Bohr magnetons,…
Historically, the soft mode theory of ferroelectric phase transitions has been developed for the high-temperature (paraelectric) phase, where the phonon mode softens upon decreasing the temperature. In the low-temperature ferroelectric…
The interaction between phonons and high-energy excitations of electronic origin in cuprates and their role in the superconducting mechanisms is still controversial. Here we use coherent vibrational time-domain spectroscopy together with…
The damping ($\Gamma_a$) of the transverse acoustic (TA) phonon in single crystals of the relaxor $KTa_{1-x}Nb_xO_3$ with x=0.15-0.17 was studied by means of high resolution inelastic cold neutron scattering near the (200) B.Z. point where…
Spin-singlet and spin-triplet internal transitions of quasi-two-dimensional, negatively charged magneto-excitons (X-) and their evolution with excess electron density have been studied in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum-wells by optically detected…
Distribution of the two phonon $\gamma$ vibrational collectivity in the rotating triaxial odd-$A$ nucleus, $^{103}$Nb, that is one of the three nuclides for which experimental data were reported recently, is calculated in the framework of…
The transition-metal dicyanides M(CN)$_2$ (M = Zn, Cd) are amongst the most important negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials known, favoured for the magnitude, isotropy, and thermal persistence of the NTE behaviour they show. The…
The level densities and $\gamma$-ray strength functions of $^{105,106,111,112}$Cd have been extracted from particle-$\gamma$ coincidence data using the Oslo method. The level densities are in very good agreement with known levels at low…
We have performed extensive ab initio calculations to investigate phonon dynamics and their possible role in superconductivity in BaFe2As2 and related systems. The calculations are compared to inelastic neutron scattering data that offer…
We present temperature dependent inelastic neutron scattering measurments, accompanied byab-initio calculations of phonon spectra and elastic properties as a function of pressure to understand anharmonicity of phonons and to study the…
The ideal strength of monolayer materials possessing semimetallic, semiconducting, and insulating ground states is computed using density functional theory. Here we show that, as in graphene, a soft mode occurs at the K-point in BN,…
The nature of the lattice instability connected to the structural transition and superconductivity of (Sr,Ca)$_3$Ir$_4$Sn$_{13}$ is not yet fully understood. In this work density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the phonon…
Recent STM experiments reveal niobium diselenide to support domains of striped (1Q) charge order side-by-side with its better-known triangular (3Q) phase, suggesting that small variations in local strain may induce a quantum phase…
We predict the stabilities of \alpha-graphynes and their boron nitride analogues(\alpha-BNyne), which are considered as competitors of graphene and two-dimensional hexagonal BN. Based on first-principles plane wave method, we investigated…
Dielectric tensor and lattice dynamics of alpha-PbO2-type TiO2 have been investigated using the density functional perturbation theory, with a focus on responses of the vibrational frequencies to pressure. The calculated Raman spectra under…
