The decoupled layer quasi-two-dimensional glass phase of c-axis vortices in optimally doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta (BSCCO) exhibits low-temperature metastability, the onset temperature of which is coincident with the peak in depinning current for zero-field-c ...
The nature of the Verwey transition in magnetite (Fe3O4) remains an unsolved puzzle after more than 60 years. Impurities and dopants present in magnetite can alter the Verwey transition temperature T-v as well as other physical characteristics of magnetite ...
A new iron tellurite halide Fe3Te3O10Cl has been identified that crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c. The crystal structure comprises channels where the Cl ions and also the stereochemically active lone-pair electrons on Te4+ are located. Th ...
We report on the magnetic excitation spectrum of the coupled-spin tetrahedral system Cu2Te2O5Cl2 using Raman scattering on single crystals. The transition to an ordered state at T-N(Cl)=18.2 K evidenced from thermodynamic data leads to the evolution of dis ...
We report about an electron energy-loss study on the dispersion of the charge-carrier plasmon in the charge-density-wave system 2H-TaSe2 above and below the metal-insulator transition. In both cases we find a negative slope, which is in remarkable contrast ...
The magnetic and magnetoresonance properties of a new single-crystal compound Ni-5(TeO3)(4)Cl-2 are studied. Measurements of the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of the crystal in a wide temperature range (5-300 K) make it possible to conclude tha ...
The search for the coexistence between superconductivity and other collective electronic states in many instances promoted the discovery of novel states of matter. The manner in which the different types of electronic order combine remains an ongoing puzzl ...
We report a comprehensive study of transport, magnetotransport, and magnetic properties of single crystals of BaVSe3. The paramagnetic metal-ferromagnetic metal transition at 43 K was followed as a function of pressure by measuring the electrical resistivi ...
We report Raman-scattering data of single crystals of magnetite (Fe3O4) with Verwey transition temperatures (T-v) of 123 and 117 K, respectively. Both single crystals reveal broad electronic background extending up to 900 wave numbers (similar to 110 meV). ...
We present specific-heat data on the type-II superconductors V3Si, LuNi2B2C and NbSe2 which were acquired with a low-temperature thermal analysis (DTA) technique. We compare our data with available literature data on these superconductors. In the first par ...
