We present a new Kondo-lattice system, YbNi4P2, which is a clean heavy-fermion metal with a severely reduced ferromagnetic ordering temperature at T_C=0.17K, evidenced by distinct anomalies in susceptibility, specific-heat, and resistivity…

We investigated the magnetoelastic properties of an YbNi$_4$P$_2$ single crystal at low temperatures under magnetic fields directed along the crystallographic [001] axis. We report a series of strong anomalies in the sound velocity, which…

The electronic structure of Y$_{4}$Co$_{3}$ has been studied based on the density functional theory within the local-density approximation. The calculation indicates that Y$_{4}$Co$_{3}$ is very close to ferromagnetic instability. The Fermi…

In the series R2PdSi3, Nd2PdSi3 is an anomalous compound in the sense that it exhibits ferromagnetic order unlike other members in this family. The magnetic ordering temperature is also unusually high compared to the expected value for a…

The electronic structures and topological properties of transition metal dipnictides $XPn_2$ ($X$=Ta, Nb; $Pn$=P, As, Sb) have been systematically studied using first-principles calculations. In addition to small bulk Fermi surfaces, the…

Calculations of the electronic and magnetic properties of the non-magnetic metallic compound YFe$_2$Si$_2$ are reported. These show that at the density functional level a magnetic state involving ordering along the $c$-axis. The electronic…

An investigation of the structural, thermodynamic, and electronic transport properties of the isoelectronic chemical substitution series Ce(Pd$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_2$P$_2$ is reported, where a possible ferromagnetic quantum critical point is…

The antiferromagnetic (AFM) semimetal YbMnSb$_2$ has recently been identified as a candidate topological material, driven by time-reversal symmetry breaking. Depending on the ordered arrangement of Mn spins below the N\'{e}el temperature,…

We studied the electronic structure of the heavy fermion compound Yb(Ru$_{1-x}$Rh$_{x}$)$_2$Ge$_2$ with $x=0$ and nominally $x=0.125$ using ARPES and LDA calculations. We find a valence band structure of Yb corresponding to a non-integer…

First-principles calculations within the DFT are employed to investigate the relationship between the electronic structure and the unexpected features of the hexagonal cell parameters of YbAuIn and Yb$_{3}$AuGe$_{2}$In$_{3}$. Calculations…

A variety of compounds, for example doped paraelectrics and polar metals, exhibit both ferroelectricity and correlated electronic phenomena such as low-density superconductivity and anomalous transport. Characterizing such properties is…

PdCrO$_2$ is material which has attracted interest due to the coexistence of metallic conductivity associated with itinerant Pd 4d electrons and antiferromagnetic order arising from localized Cr spins. A central issue is determining to what…

We report on transport and magnetic measurements between 1.8 and 400 K on single crystalline YbNi4P2, which was recently reported to be a heavy fermion system with a low lying ferromagnetic transition at T_C=0.17 K, based on data from…

We propose a model for the intrinsic quantum criticality of {\beta}-YbAlB4, in which a vortex in momentum space gives rise to a new type of Fermi surface singularity. The unquenched angular momentum of the |J = 7/2,m_J = \pm5/2> Yb…

The canonical view of heavy fermion quantum criticality assumes a single quantum critical point separating the paramagnet from the antiferromagnet. However, recent experiments on Yb-based heavy fermion compounds suggest the presence of…

We present here a rare example of electronuclear quantum criticality in a metal. The compound YbCu4.6Au0.4 is located at an unconventional quantum critical point (QCP). In this material the relevant Kondo and RKKY exchange interactions are…

The origin of intrinsic quantum criticality in the heavy-fermion superconductor $\beta$-YbAlB$_4$ has been attributed to strong Yb valence fluctuations and its peculiar crystal structure. Here, we assess these contributions individually by…

The electronic structure of the ferromagnetic material CeRh$_{3}$B$_{2}$ is studied by means of first-principles calculations with an emphasis on the treatment of localized $4f$ states around Ce. Via the construction of an effective spin…

The phenomenology and radical changes seen in materials properties traversing a quantum phase transition has captivated condensed matter research over past decades. Strong electronic correlations lead to novel electronic ground states,…

A ferromagnetic quantum critical point is thought not to exist in two and three-dimensional metallic systems yet is realized in the Kondo lattice compound YbNi4(P,As)2, possibly due to its one-dimensionality. It is crucial to investigate…
