Magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, and electrical resistivity measurements have been carried out on single crystals of the intermediate valence compounds Yb2Rh3Ga9 and Yb2Ir3Ga9. These measurements reveal a large anisotropy due…
In order to test the recently proposed connection between the neutron resonance and the specific heat anomaly in cuprates, the experimental specific heat data on $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.93}$ and a theoretical estimate of the single particle…
Recently, it was reported by MacLaughlin et al. in Phys. Rev. B 93, 214421 (2016) that \alpha-YbAl_{0.986}Fe_{0.014}B_4 exhibits an anomalous temperature dependence in the relaxation rate 1/T_{1} of $\mu$SR, and stressed that such…
We report neutron scattering and muon spin relaxation measurements (muSR) on the pyrochlore antiferromagnet Yb2Ge2O7. Inelastic neutron scattering was used to probe the transitions between crystal electric field levels, allowing us to…
Electronic states under pressure exhibit unconventional spin and charge dynamics that provide a powerful route to uncover exotic phases in quantum materials. Here, we present the structural, magnetic, and electronic evolution of…
We report and analyze in-plane penetration depth measurements in YBa2Cu3O7-x taken close to the critical temperature Tc. In underdoped YBa2Cu3O6:59 we find consistent evidence for charged critical behavior. Noting that the effective…
Low-temperature specific-heat measurements on YbRh2Si2 at the second order antiferromagnetic (AF) phase transition reveal a sharp peak at T_N=72 mK. The corresponding critical exponent alpha turns out to be alpha=0.38, which differs…
Some of the most popular ways to treat quantum critical materials, that is, materials close to a magnetic instability, are based on the Landau functional. The central quantity of such approaches is the average magnitude of spin…
We present high-field magnetization and $^{79}$Br nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and $^{125}$Te nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies in the weakly coupled Cu$^{2+}$ ($S=1/2$) tetrahedral system Cu$_2$Te$_2$O$_5$Br$_2$. The…
Square-lattice systems offer a direct route for realizing 2D quantum magnetism with frustration induced by competing interactions. In this work, the square-lattice materials YbBi2IO4 and YbBi2ClO4 were investigated using a combination of…
Understanding the pseudo-gap phase from which a superconducting state emerges is a central problem in the physics of cuprates. The phase exists below a temperature T* for less than optimal doping of holes, and no clear jump in the specific…

Frustrated magnetic systems with anisotropic exchange interactions have been recognized as key platforms for discovering exotic quantum states and quasiparticles. In this study, we report the pressure evolution of magnetic structures and…
We have examined the magnetic properties of superconducting YBa_2(Cu_0.96Co_0.04)_3O_y (y ~ 7, T_sc = 65 K) using elastic neutron scattering and muon spin relaxation (muSR) on single crystal samples. The elastic neutron scattering…
We have performed a magnetic study of a bulk metallic sample of Nb with critical temperature $T_{c}=8.5$ K. Magnetization versus temperature (M {\it vs} T) data obtained for fixed magnetic fields above 1 kOe show a superconducting…
Phase transitions and critical phenomena, which are dominated by fluctuations and correlations, are one of the fields replete with physical paradigms and unexpected discoveries. Especially for two-dimensional magnetism, the limitation of…
Experiments on the irradiation-induced suppression of the critical temperature in high-Tc superconductors are analyzed within the mean-field Abrikosov-Gor'kov-like approach. It is shown that the experimental data for YBa2Cu3O7 single…
We report detailed dc and ac magnetic susceptibilities, specific heat, and thermal conductivity measurements on the frustrated magnet ZnCr$_2$Se$_4$. At low temperatures, with increasing magnetic field, this spinel material goes through a…
Using neutron scattering, we investigate the effect of a magnetic field on the static and dynamic spin response in heavily underdoped superconducting YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{6+x}$ (YBCO$_{6+x}$) with x=0.33 (T$_{c}$=8 K) and 0.35 (T$_{c}$=18…
The physical properties of the very heavy fermion YbCu$_4$Ni were characterized through structural, magnetic, thermal and transport studies along nearly four decades of temperature ranging between 50 milikelvin and 300 K. At high…
