The binary compounds GdIr3, TbIr3 and HoIr3 are synthesized successfully and found to form in macroscopic co-existence of two polymorphic phases: C15b and AuCu3-type. The dc magnetization and heat capacity studies confirm that C15b phase…

We report detailed and extensive first-principles molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations of the structure and electronic properties of amorphous InP produced by rapid quenching from the liquid. The structure of the material is found to be…

It has been long known that numerous halide and oxide perovskites can have non-ideal octahedra, showing tilting, rotation, and metal atom displacements. It has also been known that compounds that have at low temperatures a single structural…

Strongly correlated ground states and exotic quasiparticle excitations in low-dimensional systems are central research topics in the solid state research community. The present work develops a new layered material and explores the physical…

In situ high-pressure energy dispersive x-ray diffraction experiments on polycrystalline powder TiN with NaCl-type structure have been conducted with the pressure up to 30.1 GPa by using the diamond anvil cell instrument with synchrotron…

The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ at pressures above 14 GPa has spurred extensive research efforts. Yet, fundamental aspects of the superconducting phase, including the possibility of a filamentary…

A silicene-like polymorph of the Si111 7x7 surface is proposed that resolves numerous experimental paradoxes and inconsistencies arising over the past 34 years. An analysis of the three established surface state charge densities from atom…

The infrared reflectivity of a $\rm La_{0.67}Ca_{0.33}MnO_3$ single crystal is studied over a broad range of temperatures (78-340 K), magnetic fields (0-16 T), and wavenumbers (20-9000 cm$^{-1}$). The optical conductivity gradually changes…

Nuclei of ordered materials emerging from the isotropic state usually show a shape topologically equivalent to a sphere; the well-known examples are crystals and nematic liquid crystal droplets. In this work, we explore experimentally and…

High pressure x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements on RMnO3 (R=Dy, Ho and Lu) reveals that varying structural changes occurs for different R ions. Large lattice changes (orthorhombic strain) occur in DyMnO3 and HoMnO3 while the Jahn-Teller…

An organic-inorganic halide perovskite of CH3NH3SnI3 with significantly improved structural stability is obtained via pressure-induced amorphization and recrystallization. In situ high-pressure resistance measurements reveal an increased…

III-nitride alloys are wide band gap semiconductors with a broad range of applications in optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diodes and laser diodes. Indium gallium nitride light emitting diodes have been successfully produced…

We report equilibrium and nonequilibrium optical measurements on the recently synthesized "harmonic" honeycomb iridate \gamma-Li$_2$IrO$_3$ (LIO), as well as the layered honeycomb iridate Na$_2$IrO$_3$ (NIO). Using Fourier transform…

When monoclinic monazite-type LaVO4 (space group P21/n) is squeezed up to 12 GPa at room temperature, a phase transition to another monoclinic phase has been found. The structure of the high-pressure phase of LaVO4 is indexed with the same…

Using $\textit{ab-initio}$ crystal structure prediction we study the high-pressure phase diagram of $\textit{A}BiO_3$ bismuthates ($A$=Ba, Sr, Ca) in a pressure range up to 100$~$GPa. All compounds show a transition from the low-pressure…

Many layered materials can be cleaved down to individual atomic planes, similar to graphene, but only a small minority of them are stable under ambient conditions. The rest reacts and decomposes in air, which has severely hindered their…

Transition metal nitrides have attracted much interest of the scientific community for their intriguing properties and technological applications. Here we focus on yttrium dinitride (YN$_{2}$) and its formation and structural transition…

Combining X-ray diffraction with density-functional theory and electron topology calculations we found that pressure substantially modifies the bonding in K2Zn(IO3)4.2H2O. We discovered that under compression there is a progressive change…

We report the synthesis via an indium flux method of a novel single-crystalline compound Rh3In3.4Ge3.6 that belongs to the cubic Ir3Ge7 structure type. In Rh3In3.4Ge3.6, the In and Ge atoms choose to preferentially occupy, respectively, the…

Some highly unusual features of a lipid-water liquid crystal are revealed by high pressure x-ray diffraction, light scattering and dilatometric studies of the lamellar (bilayer $L_{\alpha}$) to nonlamellar inverse hexagonal ($H_{II}$) phase…
