The crystal structures of ANb$_3$Br$_7$S (A = Rb and Cs) have been refined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and are found to form highly anisotropic materials based on chains of the triangular Nb$_3$ cluster core. The Nb$_3$ cluster…

By means of density functional theory the electronic structure of the MgB2 superconductor was characterised and compared with that of the related iso-structural systems: AlB2, ZrB2, NbB2, and TaB2. Using the full-potential linearized…

The symmetry of the Periodic Table makes it possible to predict certain properties of similar elements and compounds using one of them as a template. Magnesium diboride, MgB2, presents a useful template in the search for similar materials.…

Lacunar spinels with a chemical formula of $AM_4X_8$ form a populous family of narrow-gap semiconductors, which offer a fertile ground to explore correlation and quantum phenomena, including transition between Mott and spin-orbit insulator…
