We present results of hard X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and photoemission diffraction measurements performed on high-quality single crystals of the valence transition compound EuPd$_2$Si$_2$ for temperatures 25~K $\leq$ T…
Hard X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy reveals significant alterations in the valence band states of EuPd$_2$Si$_2$ at a temperature $T_V$, where the Eu ions undergo a temperature-induced valence crossover from a magnetic…
The compound EuPd2Si2 is a well-known valence-fluctuating compound with a largest variation of Eu valence in a narrow temperature interval (around 150 K). The ball-milled form of this compound was investigated to understand the Eu valence…
In a joint theoretical and experimental study we investigate the pressure dependence of the Eu valence in EuPd_3B_x (0 <= x <= 1). Density functional band structure calculations are combined with x-ray absorption and x-ray diffraction…
We study the mixed valence transition ($T$$_{v}$ $\sim$80 K) in EuNi$_{2}$(Si$_{0.2}$Ge$_{0.8}$)$_{2}$ using Eu 3$d-4f$ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant photoemission spectroscopy (RESPES). The Eu$^{2+}$ and Eu$^{3+}$ main…
Single crystals of intermediate valent EuPd$_2$Si$_2$ were grown from an Eu-rich melt by the Bridgman as well as the Czochralski technique. The chemical and structural characterization of an extracted single crystalline Czochralski-grown…
High pressure x-ray diffraction up to 30 GPa and resonant emission x-ray spectroscopy and partial fluorescence yield x-ray absorption spectroscopy up to 52 GPa were used to study how the structural and electronic properties of UTe$_2$…
Valence transitions in strongly correlated electron systems are caused by orbital hybridization and Coulomb interactions between localized and delocalized electrons. The transition can be triggered by changes in the electronic structure and…
Valence transition could induce structural, insulator-metal, nonmagnetic-magnetic and superconducting transitions in rare-earth metals and compounds, while the underlying physics remains unclear due to the complex interaction of localized…
We present a comprehensive study of the mixed valent compound, EuPd3S4, by electrical transport, X-ray diffraction, time-domain 151Eu synchrotron M\"ossbauer spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements under high pressure.…

EuPd$_2$Si$_2$ is a valence-fluctuating system undergoing a temperature-induced valence crossover at $T'_V\approx160\,$K. We present the successful single crystal growth using the Czochralski method for the substitution series…
We study the valence crossover and strong electron-phonon coupling of EuPd$_2$Si$_2$ by polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy. The fully-symmetric phonon mode shows strongly asymmetric lineshape at low temperature, indicating Fano-type…
A combination of the density functional theory and the single-site dynamical mean-field theory is employed to study the pressure dependence of electronic structure for cubic phase californium. We predict that its 5$f$ electrons could…
Unusual phases and phase transitions are seen at the magnetic-nonmagnetic boundary in Ce, Eu and Yb-based compounds. EuNi$_2$P$_{2}$ is a very unusual valence fluctuating Eu system, because at low temperatures the Eu valence stays close to…
We present in full detail a newly developed formalism enabling density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) calculations from a DFT+$U$ ground state. The implementation includes ultrasoft pseudopotentials and is valid for both insulating…
The pressure-dependent relation between Eu valence and lattice structure in model compound EuO is studied with synchrotron-based x-ray spectroscopic and diffraction techniques. Contrary to expectation, a 7% volume collapse at $\approx$ 45…
Superconductivity can be realized in Eu-containing pnictides by application of chemical (internal) and physical (external) pressure, the intrinsic physical mechanism of which attracts much attention in physics community. Here we present the…
Non-centrosymmetric EuTGe3 (T=Co, Ni, Rh, and Ir) possesses magnetic Eu2+ ions and antiferromagnetic ordering appears at low temperatures. Transition metal substitution leads to changes of the unit cell volume and of the magnetic ordering.…
