A novel metallic and magnetic transition metal oxide Ag2NiO2 is studied by means of resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure is characterized by alternating stacking of a Ni3+O2 layer…
Unusual phases and phase transitions are seen at the magnetic-nonmagnetic boundary in Ce, Eu and Yb-based compounds. EuNi$_2$P$_{2}$ is a very unusual valence fluctuating Eu system, because at low temperatures the Eu valence stays close to…
We have successfully prepared two novel mixed-valence compounds of silver, Ag(I)Ag(II)F3 and Ag(I)2Ag(II)F4. They may be considered to be long-sought strongly electron-overdoped Ag(II)F2. Their crystal structures indicate that both belong…
The doubly ionized $d^9$ copper ion provides, originally in La$_2$CuO$_4$ and later in many more compounds, the platform for high temperature superconductivity when it is forced toward higher levels of oxidation. The nearest chemical…
Results of Co and Ni substituted AlN in the zinc blende phase are presented. For spin up states the hybridized N-2p and Co/Ni-3d states form the valance bands with a bandgap around the Fermi level for both materials, while in the case of…
The nature of the magnetic transition of the half-filled triangular antiferromagnet Ag$_{2}$NiO$_2$ with $T_{\rm N}$=56K was studied with positive muon-spin-rotation and relaxation ($\mu^+$SR) spectroscopy. Zero field $\mu^+$SR measurements…
Magnetic properties of silver(II) compounds have been of interest in recent years. In covalent compounds, the main mechanism of interaction between paramagnetic sites is the superexchange via the connecting ligand. To date, little is known…
The magnetic nature of Cs$_{2}$AgF$_{4}$, an isoelectronic and isostructural analogue of La$_2$CuO$_4$, is analyzed using density functional calculations. The ground state is found to be ferromagnetic and nearly half metallic. We find…
We report superconducting properties of AgSnSe2 which is a conventional type-II superconductor in the very dirty limit due to intrinsically strong electron scatterings. While this material is an isotropic three-dimensional (3D)…
Intermediate-valence behavior is sometimes observed in lanthanide-based materials containing Ce, Yb, Sm or Eu. However, the number of actinide-based systems that exhibit this type of behavior is rather limited. In this work, we present the…
This work provides a theoretical exploration of the thermodynamic stability and magnetic behaviour of previously unknown ternary Li AgII F compounds. Convex-hull analysis shows that all predicted structures lie slightly above the LiF plus…
Using quantum mechanical calculations, we examine magnetic (super)exchange interactions in hypothetical, chemically reasonable molecular coordination clusters containing fluoride bridged late transition metals or selected lanthanides, as…
2D materials have intriguing quantum phenomena that are distinctively different from their bulk counterparts. Recently, epitaxially synthesized wafer-scale 2D metals, composed of elemental atoms, are attracting attention not only for their…
We have synthesized AgSn1-xBixSe2 polycrystalline samples to investigate the effect of partial substitution of mixed-valence Sn by Bi3+ to the superconductivity of the valence-skip superconductor AgSnSe2. The Bi-substituted AgSn1-xBixSe2…
Normally $4d$ or $5d$ transition metals are in a low-spin state. Here using first-principles calculations, we report on a rare case of a high-spin $S$=1 magnetic state for the Ag$^{3+}$ ion in the double perovskite Cs$_{2}$KAgF$_{6}$. We…
NiS, exhibiting a text-book example of a first-order transition with many unusual properties at low temperatures, has been variously described in terms of conflicting descriptions of its ground state during the past several decades. We…
Magnetic properties of the silver vanadium phosphate Ag(2)VOP(2)O(7) are studied by means of magnetic susceptibility measurements and electronic structure calculations. In spite of the layered crystal structure suggesting 1D or 2D magnetic…
The layered delafossite compound AgNiO$_2$ with $2H$ stacking symmetry undergoes a structural metal-to-metal transition at $T_{\rm S}\sim 365$ K. It has been described in the past as a charge-ordering transition, where local $S=1$ spins are…
Copper(II) silver(II) sulfate crystallizes in a monoclinic CuSO4-related structure with P21/n symmetry. This quasi-ternary compound features [Ag(SO4)2]2- layers, while the remaining cationic sites may be occupied either completely or…
Based on theoretical calculations, we introduce a new AgIIAgIIIF5 monoclinic polymorph with a rare high spin AgIII. Our analysis of the experimental xray diffraction data available in the literature reveals that this polymorph was likely…
