Aliovalent rare earth substitution into the alkaline earth site of CaFe2As2 single-crystals is used to fine-tune structural, magnetic and electronic properties of this iron-based superconducting system. Neutron and single crystal x-ray…
We present structural, electrical, and thermoelectric potential measurements on high-quality single crystals of ZrTe$_{1.8}$ grown from isothermal chemical vapor transport. These measurements show that the Te-deficient ZrTe$_{1.8}$, which…
We studied the correlation among structure and transport properties and superconductivity in the different $A_x$Fe$_2$Se$_2$ single crystals ($A$ = K, Rb, and Cs). Two sets of (00$l$) reflections are observed in the X-ray single crystal…
Plate-like single crystals of SrFe2As2 as large as 3x3x0.5 mm3 have been grown out of Sn flux. The SrFe2As2 single crystals show a structural phase transition from a high temperature tetragonal phase to a low temperature orthorhombic phase…
Sizable single crystals of $BaFe_2As_2$ have been grown with self-flux method. The crystals are plate-like with c-axis perpendicular to the plane. The size can be as large as 3 x 5 x 0.2 $mm^3$. The resistivity anisotropy…
Single crystals of Sc5Rh6Sn18 were grown from Sn-flux. The crystal structure (SG: I41/acd, a = 13.5529(2) {\AA}, c = 27.0976(7) {\AA}) was studied by high-resolution X-ray diffraction on powder and single crystal material as well as by TEM.…
ZrTe$_5$ is a newly discovered topological material. Shortly after a single layer ZrTe$_5$ had been predicted to be a two-dimensional topological insulator, a handful of experiments have been carried out on bulk ZrTe$_5$ crystals, which…
We report on structural, magnetic, conductivity, and thermodynamic studies of FeSe$_{0.5}$Te$_{0.5}$ single crystals grown by self-flux and Bridgman methods. The samples were prepared from starting materials of different purity at various…
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…
Single-layer TaS$_2$ is epitaxially grown on Au(111) substrates. The resulting two-dimensional crystals adopt the 1H polymorph. The electronic structure is determined by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and found to be in excellent…
The crystal structure of a disordered form of Cr$_{1/3}$NbS$_2$ has been characterized using diffraction and inelastic scattering of synchrotron radiation. In contrast to the previously reported symmetry (P6$_3$22), the crystal can be…
Single crystals of EuPd2Sb2 have been grown from PdSb self-flux. The properties of the single crystals have been investigated by x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility chi, magnetization M, electrical resistivity rho, Hall coefficient…
We report the crystal growth and characterization of a rare-earth-containing material, Dy3.00(1)Pt2Sb4.48(2). This compound possesses a similar structure to the previously reported Y3Pt4Ge6, but lacks two layers of Pt atoms.…
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…
Single crystals of tetragonal Fe1.00Se were grown from polycrystalline material by chemical vapor transport reaction at temperatures below 723 K using AlCl3 as transport additive. The plate-shaped single crystals have edge lengths up to 4…
Much effort has been devoted to the electronic properties of relatively thick ZrTe5 crystals, focusing on their three-dimensional topological effects. Thin ZrTe5 crystals, on the other hand, were much less explored experimentally. Here we…
In this study, we have investigated and compared the effect of hydrostatic pressure up to ~20 kbar on the transport properties of ZrTe5 single crystals grown by chemical vapor transport (CVT) and flux methods. With the application of…
We report anomalous features in the normal-state resistivity of single crystalline Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_8 whiskers near some characteristic temperature T* \~ 250 K. From these varied oxygen-doping samples, the resistance (R) was found to deviate…
The crystallographic, magnetic, and transport properties of the van der Waals bonded, layered compound CrTe3 have been investigated on single crystal and polycrystalline materials. The crystal structure contains layers made up of lozenge…
The changes in magnetic properties of Ce(Fe0.9Co0.1)2 compound with increasing disorder are discussed in the paper. Homogeneous alloys are known to undergo the phase transition from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic state accompanied by…
