In the family of the iron-based superconductors, the REFeAsO-type compounds (with RE being a rare-earth metal) exhibit the highest bulk superconducting transition temperatures (T-c) up to 55 K and thus hold the key to the elusive pairing mechanism. Recentl ...
Low-dimensional quantum magnets at finite temperatures present a complex interplay of quantum and thermal fluctuation effects in a restricted phase space. While some information about dynamical response functions is available from theoretical studies of th ...
Optical properties of the PbTiO3 thin films fabricated by chemical solution deposition have been measured with variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry in the spectral range of 1-6 eV and in the temperature interval from room temperature to 950 K. The opt ...
Iron based high temperature superconductors have several common features with superconducting cuprates, including the square lattice and the proximity to an antiferromagnetic phase. The magnetic excitation spectrum below T-c of Fe1.02Te0.7Se0.3 shows an ho ...
We present a detailed study of the phase diagram of copper-intercalated TiSe2 single crystals, combining local Hall-probe magnetometry, tunnel diode oscillator technique (TDO), and specific-heat and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements. A ...

We study the structural evolution of Sr3Ir2O7 as a function of pressure using x-ray diffraction. At a pressure of 54 GPa at room temperature, we observe a first-order structural phase transition, associated with a change from tetragonal to monoclinic symme ...
We report an angle-resolved photoemission study of the charge stripe ordered La1.6-xNd0.4SrxCuO4 (Nd-LSCO) system. A comparative and quantitative line-shape analysis is presented as the system evolves from the overdoped regime into the charge ordered phase ...
We study a specific type of lifetime broadening resulting in the well-known exponential "Urbach tail" density of states within the energy gap of an insulator. After establishing the frequency and temperature dependence of the Urbach edge in GaAs quantum we ...
