A 63Cu and 139La NMR/NQR study of superconducting (Tc=7 K) La1.94Sr0.06CuO4 single crystal is reported. Coexistence of spin-glass and superconducting phases is found below ~5 K from 139La NMR relaxation. 63Cu and 139La NMR spectra show…
The simplest cuprate superconductor La2CuO4+y with mobile oxygen interstitials exhibits a clear phase separation, but only recently a bulk multiscale structural phase separation has been observed by using scanning micro X-ray diffraction.…
We report the decomposition of La2-xSrxCuO4 into La2O3 and Cu nanoparticles in ultra-high vacuum, observed by in-situ heating experiments in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The analysis of electron diffraction data reveals that…
We report a neutron and Raman scattering study of a single-crystal of La(2)CuO(4.05) prepared by high temperature electrochemical oxidation. Elastic neutron scattering measurements show the presence of two phases, corresponding to the two…
Synchrotron X-ray diffraction investigations of two single crystals of Na_xCoO_2 from different batches with composition x = 0.525-0.530 reveal homogeneous incommensurate sodium ordering with propagation vector (0.53 0.53 0) at…
We have grown a single crystal of La_2-x_Sr_x_CuO_4_ in which the Sr concentration, x, continuously changes from 0.24 to 0.29 in the overdoped regime and obtained many pieces of single crystals with different x values by slicing the single…
A series of high-quality La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) superconductor crystals in the under-doping region with x = 0.063, 0.07, 0.09, 0.10, 0.111 and 0.125 has been successfully prepared by traveling-solvent floating-zone (TSFZ) technique. The…
A high temperature electrochemical oxidation process has been used to produce large single crystals of $La_2CuO_{4 + \delta}$ suitable for neutron scattering experiments. Below room temperature the oxygen-rich phases have structural…
We synthesized large superconducting single crystal Ca0.77La0.18Fe0.90As2 ('112' type) of 2 millimeter size. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements revealed that bright and dark stripes alternately spread on the surface of…
Extensive X-ray and neutron scattering experiments and additional transmission electron microscopy results reveal the partial decomposition of Nd2-xCexCuO4 (NCCO) in a low-oxygen-fugacity environment such as that typically realized during…
We present local structural evidence supporting the presence of charge inhomogeneities in the CuO2 planes of underdoped La2-xSrxCuO4. High-resolution atomic pair distribution functions have been obtained from neutron powder diffraction data…
To date, there has been no evidence for the macroscopic structural phase transition to the low temperature tetragonal structure (LTT) with a space group P42/ncm in high-TC cuprate of rare earth-free La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO). By investigating…
The observation of superconductivity at 4.3 K in a new crystalline form of Na0.3CoO2*1.3H2O is reported. The new superconductor has three layers of CoO6 octahedra per crystallographic unit cell, in contrast to the previously reported…
The lanthanum copper oxide, La2CuO4, which is an end member of the prototype high-Tc superconductors (La,Sr)2CuO4 and (La,Ba)2CuO4, crystallizes in the "K2NiF4" structure in high-temperature bulk synthesis. The crystal chemistry, however,…
It is found that a strong inhomogeneous distribution of oxygen in single crystal La_{2}CuO_{4+\delta} can lead to the formation of isolated superconducting inclusions, the average hole concentration being no more than 0.0024 per Cu atom.…
The discovery of superconductivity in La3Ni2O7-${\delta}$ under high pressure,with an onset critical temperature around 80 K, has sparked significant interest in the superconducting phases of Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates, Lan+1NinO3n+1.…
A series of high-quality under-doped La2-xSrxCuO4 superconductor crystals with x = 0.063 - 0.125 were prepared by traveling-solvent floating-zone (TSFZ) technique. We found by dc magnetic measurements that, in this series of crystals, the…
We utilize single-crystal neutron diffraction to study the $C2/m$ structure of potassium hydrogen carbonate (KHCO$_3$) and macroscopic quantum entanglement above the phase transition at $T_c = 318$ K. Whereas split atom sites could be due…
Partial suppression of superconductivity by fast cooling has been observed in the organic superconductor $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu[N(CN)$_2$]Br by two means: a marked sample size effect on the magnetic susceptibility and direct imaging of…
Strain engineering has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its capability in tuning lattice and electronic structures of quantum materials. Using moderate uniaxial compressive strain, we induce structural phase separation…
