In strongly correlated systems, interactions give rise to critical fluctuations surrounding the quantum critical point (QCP) of a quantum phase transition. Quasicrystals allow the study of quantum critical phenomena in aperiodic systems…

We report on ac magnetic susceptibility measurements under pressure of the Au-Al-Yb alloy, a crystalline approximant to the icosahedral quasicrystal that shows unconventional quantum criticality. In describing the susceptibility as…

To get insight into the mechanism of emergence of unconventional quantum criticality observed in quasicrystal Yb$_{15}$Al$_{34}$Au$_{51}$, the approximant crystal Yb$_{14}$Al$_{35}$Au$_{51}$ is analyzed theoretically. By constructing a…

The structural and physical properties of two single-grain Au-Al-Gd 1/1 approximant crystals (ACs) with analyzed compositions Au73.67Al12.24Gd14.09 and Au74.67Al11.35Gd13.98 were thoroughly investigated. The two variants are iso-structural…

We report the results of low-temperature measurements of the specific heat Cp(T), ac susceptibility chi(T) and 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance NMR of Na2V3O7. At liquid He temperatures Cp(T)/T exhibits broad field-dependent maxima, which…

A systematic investigation has been performed to elucidate effects of Rare-Earth (RE) type and local atomic configuration on magnetic properties of icosahedral quasicrystal (iQC) and their cubic approximants (2/1 and 1/1 ACs) in the ternary…

Quasicrystals are metallic alloys that possess long-range, aperiodic structures with diffraction symmetries forbidden to conventional crystals. Since the discovery of quasicrystals by Schechtman et al. at 1984 (ref. 1), there has been…

Stable Tsai-type quinary 1/1 and 2/1 approximant crystals (ACs) with chemical compositions Au56.25Al10Cu7In13Tb13.75 and Au55.5Al10Cu7In13Tb14.5, respectively, exhibiting ferromagnetic (FM) long-range orders were successfully synthesized…

The magnetic response of the Tsai-type 1/1 Au-Al-Gd approximant crystals (ACs) was quantitatively investigated in terms of the magnetic entropy change ($\Delta S_{M}$) for different magnetic ground states. A comprehensive $\Delta S_{M}$ map…

A systematic analysis of low temperature magnetic phase diagrams of Ce compounds is performed in order to recognize the thermodynamic conditions to be fulfilled by those systems to reach a quantum critical regime and, alternatively, to…

We have performed magnetic susceptibility and neutron scattering measurements on polycrystalline Ag-In-RE (RE: rare-earth) 1/1 approximants. In the magnetic susceptibility measurements, for most of the RE elements, inverse susceptibility…

A very fundamental property of both weakly and strongly interacting materials is the nature of its magnetic response. In this work we detail the growth of crystals of the quasicrystal approximant Fe$_4$Al$_{13}$ with an Al flux solvent…

The electronic structure of diluted (Ga,Mn)As magnetic semiconductors in the presence of As-antisites and magnetic disorder is studied within the framework of the local spin density approximation. Both the chemical and magnetic disorders…

Extraordinary new materials named quasicrystals and characterized by noncrystallographic rotational symmetry and quasiperiodic translational properties have attracted scrutiny. Study of quasicrystals may shed light on the most basic notions…

Unconventional quantum critical phenomena observed in Yb-based periodic crystals such as YbRh$_2$Si$_2$ and $\beta$-YbAlB$_4$ have been one of the central issues in strongly correlated electron systems. The common criticality has been…
