The pentatellurides, ZrTe5 and HfTe5 are layered compounds with one dimensional transition-metal chains that show a never understood temperature dependent transition in transport properties as well as recently discovered properties…
Perovskite rhodates are characterized by intermediate strengths of both electronic correlation as well as spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and usually behave as moderately correlated metals. A recent publication (Phys. Rev. B 95, 245121(2017)) on…
We report a study of the structural, magnetic, transport, and thermodynamic properties of polycrystalline samples of CeRhC$_2$. CeRhC$_2$ crystallizes in a tetragonal structure with space group $P4_1$ and it orders antiferromagnetically…
