Submonolayer epitaxial growth is obtained by the deposition of less than a complete layer of atoms on a single crystal surface. It is of fundamental interest for industrial applications (e.g. in the semiconductor industry) as well as from the point of view ...
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 ...
In recent years quantum antiferromagnets with an intrinsically disordered (“spin liquid”) ground state and an energy gap in the spin excitation spectrum have received a great deal of attention. In search for new experimental realizations of spin-ladder and ...
We present a thorough Se-77 nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) study of a single crystal of the magnetoelectric compound Cu2OSeO3. The temperature dependence of the local electronic moments extracted from the NMR data is fully consistent with a magnetic phas ...
We report on the results of directional point-contact Andreev-reflection (PCAR) measurements in Ba(Fe1-x Co (x) )(2)As-2 single crystals and epitaxial c-axis oriented films with x=0.08 as well as in Ca(Fe1-x Co (x) )(2)As-2 single crystals with x=0.06. The ...
We have solved and refined the crystal structure of the orthorhombic gamma-phase of Ca(BD4)(2) by combined synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, neutron powder diffraction, and ab initio calculations. Among five structural candidates giving the same qualit ...
Superconductivity in F-doped LaFeAsO, Tc= 26 K was first reported by Kamihara et al in 2008. Following that, more iron-based superconductors, e.g., (Ba,K)Fe2As2, LiFeAs, and Fe1+yTe1-xSex were discovered. The new class of high Tc superconductors have attra ...
The effect of dimensionality on materials properties has become strikingly evident with the recent discovery of graphene. Charge ordering phenomena can be induced in one dimension by periodic distortions of a material's crystal structure, termed Peierls or ...
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). ...
Two new isostructural layered oxohalides FeTe3O7X (X = Cl, Br) were synthesized by chemical vapor transport reactions, and their crystal structures and magnetic properties were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, magnetic ...
