Magnetic materials can host skyrmions, which are topologically non-trivial spin textures. In chiral magnets with cubic lattice symmetry, all previously-observed skyrmion phases require thermal fluctuations to become thermodynamically stable…
Transition-metal dichalcogenides of the pyrite-marcasite family are model systems of crystal chemistry. A few of these show polymorphism. The theoretical ground state of CoSe2 is marcasite, but the material is typically synthesized in the…
Thermoelectric materials allow the direct conversion of waste heat into electricity, and novel materials are being investigated for this purpose. Recently, doped Bi$_2$O$_2$Se has shown high application potential. In this study, we discuss…
Fast, reversible redox reactions in solids at low temperatures without thermomechanical degradation are a promising strategy for enhancing the overall performance and lifetime of many energy materials and devices. However, the robust nature…
SrTiO$_{3}$ is known to be an incipient ferroelectric. It is thought that ferroelectric stability in SrTiO$_{3}$ is suppressed by a delicate competition with quantum fluctuation and antiferrodistortion. The ferroelectric phase can, however,…
Pure rutile Co-doped TiO$_2$ films were fabricated successfully by the conventional pulsed laser deposition technique on silicon substrates from a ceramic target. Under the right fabrication conditions, Co concentration in the films could…
The low concentration of proton donors in alkaline HER, subsequently leading to the extra water adsorption and dissociation steps, identifies the value of active sites (edge and basal sites) and crystal phases in lowering the extra…
A two step solid state reaction route has been presented to synthesize monophasic cobalt tellurate (Co3TeO6, CTO) using Co3O4 and TeO2 as starting reagents. During synthesis, initial ingredient Co3O4 is found better than CoO in…
The structural, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of lead-free (Na0.5-xKxBi0.5-xLax)TiO3 powders synthesized by sol-gel self-combustion method were investigated. Rietveld refinement of Synchrotron x-ray diffraction data confirms pure…
Corkite, PbFe3(PO4)(SO4)(OH)6, an understudied relative of the jarosite family of Heisenberg antiferromagnets, has been synthesized and its magnetic properties characterized for the first time. Relative to natural samples, synthetic corkite…
Piezoelectric quartz SiO2 crystals are widely used in industry as oscillators. As a natural mineral, quartz and its relevant silicates are also of interest of geoscience and mineralogy. However, the nucleation and growth of quartz crystals…
We report the synthesis of fine particles of a well-known geometrically frustrated spin-chain compound Ca3Co2O6 through a new route, namely, a pyrophoric method employing triathanolamine (TEA) and studied the magnetic behavior of such…
We have investigated the effect of synthesis and growth conditions on the magnetic, structural, and compositional properties of pyrochlore oxide holmium titanate and demonstrate a method for growing high quality stoichiometric single…
The hydrothermal synthesis of magnetic strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19) nanocrystallites was followed in situ using synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction. For all the studied temperatures, the formation of SrFe12O19 happened through an…
The lindgrenite compounds [Cu3(MoO4)2(OH)2] with various architectures and high crystallinity were prepared by a simple surfactant-assisted hydrothermal method. Then, the Cu3Mo2O9 samples were prepared by calcination of the as-synthesized…

This study investigates the synthesis of novel magnetic materials via hydroflux synthesis, a method that combines flux-based and hydrothermal techniques. Single crystals of three novel alkali tellurate oxide hydroxides were synthesized.…
Synthesizing metastable phase often opens new functions in materials but is a challenging topic. Thin film techniques have advantages to form materials which do not exist in nature since nonequilibrium processes are frequently utilized. In…
While certain magnetic sublattices have long been known theoretically to give rise to emergent physics via competing magnetic interactions and quantum effects, finding such configurations in real materials is often deeply challenging. Here…
We report on structural, magnetic and electronic properties of Co-implanted TiO2 rutile single crystals for different implantation doses. Strong ferromagnetism at room temperature and above is observed in TiO2 rutile plates after cobalt ion…
