Summary: The electronic properties of Fe1+yTe1-xSex show significant compositional dependence, with unique electronic characteristics observed only within specific ranges of Fe and Te concentrations. FeTe0.55Se0.45 is located near the phase boundaries of superconducting and topological states, leading to its inhomogeneity.

Summary: We demonstrate a unique approach to test the signature of the nodal-line physics by thermodynamic methods. By measuring magnetic susceptibility in ZrSiS, we found an intriguing temperature-driven crossover from paramagnetic behavior. The anomalous behavior represents a real thermodynamic signature of the underlying nodal-line physics, which can be verified through chemical pressure, quantum oscillations, and theoretical modeling. The results in ZrSiS provide a starting point for exploring other nodal-line physics-related phenomena in other materials using thermodynamic methods.

Summary: In this study, the effects of Mn substitution on the superconducting and magnetic ground state of CaKFe4As4 were investigated. It was found that Mn substitution decreases the superconducting transition temperature and induces a magnetic transition. A temperature-composition phase diagram was constructed, and the influence of Mn substitution on the elastoresistivity and superconductivity under a magnetic field was also studied.

Summary: Recently, the magnetically intercalated layered transition metal dichalcogenide Fe1/3NbS2 has gained considerable attention for its reversible resistance switching properties in spintronics applications. In this study, we investigate the magneto-transport behavior of antiferromagnet Fe1/3NbS2 and find complex magnetoresistance and unconventional Hall effect. The results reveal unconventional magneto-transport behaviors and the formation of a complex spin texture in Fe1/3NbS2.

Summary: The thermal chiral anomaly is a new mechanism for thermal transport that occurs in Weyl semimetals, attributed to the generation and annihilation of energy at Weyl points of opposite chirality. This effect was observed in the Bi1-xSbx alloy system, transitioning into an ideal WSM phase by an external field. By studying the temperature dependence of the frequency of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, the transition composition x(c) and topology of the electronic Fermi surface in these alloys can be characterized.

Summary: This study investigates how magnetism influences the electrical transport properties in defective three-quarter Heusler compounds by doping Cu in ZrCo1.5Sn. The results show significantly lowered ferromagnetic transition temperature and decreased saturated magnetic moment due to the diluted Co atoms, as well as a change in dominant carrier scattering mechanism from spin fluctuation scattering to magnetic impurity scattering. Doped Cu atoms introduce non-bonding states below the valence band maximum, leading to the appearance of a narrow bandgap and semiconducting behavior in the electric transport properties.

Summary: We have investigated the effect of Cu substitution in Eu2(Ir1???xCux)2O7 through magnetic and transport property measurements. Our results show that Cu2+ converts Ir4+ to double the amount of Ir5+ ions. The temperature-dependent resistivity follows a power-law dependence in the insulating phase, with the exponent increasing with Cu concentrations. The temperature-dependent thermopower follows the electrical resistivity down to 50 K, except for a sudden drop below that temperature. We observe negligible Hall voltage in the metallic regime, but a sudden Hall voltage is developed below 50 K. We also find bifurcation in magnetization, exchange bias, and negative magnetoresistance at 3 K, with the magnitude of these properties increasing with Cu concentrations. In the insulating region, there is a linear specific heat and its coefficient decreases with Cu doping, indicating a reduction of spinon contribution.

Summary: The doped Sr2IrO4 epitaxial film maintains a wide range of Mott variable-range hopping characteristics in transport, while magnetic properties and Raman characteristic peaks become weakened, proportional to the doping concentration. These observations can be attributed to localization caused by disorder after Ce doping and the presence of structural defects. The epitaxial strain may lead to important differences between Sr2IrO4 epitaxial thin films and bulk single crystals.

Summary: The electronic transport and magnetic properties of TixCr1-xO2 epitaxial films with low Ti concentrations were studied. Ti-doped films showed a significant increase in resistivity compared to pure CrO2 films, and the magnetoresistance at low temperature was more difficult to saturate even under an external field of 5 Tesla. The study also found cluster glass freezing behavior occurring at low temperature in Ti-doped films, with specific parameters obtained through analysis using dynamic scaling theory.

Summary: An effective combustion technique was used to synthesize Sr0.8La0.2Fe12-xCuxO19 (x = 0,1) M-type strontium hexagonal ferrite nanoparticles (SHFNPs), and the impact of La and La-Cu substitution on their structural, microstructural, and magnetic characteristics was investigated. Experimental techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (RS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to characterize the samples. The results showed that the substituted strontium hexaferrite had a single lattice structure achieved by transforming Fe3+ to Fe2+ on the 2a site. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the formation of all crystallographic sites of hexaferrite. FESEM images revealed flat hexagonal facets indicating the magneto-plumbite structure. The obtained magnetic results demonstrated high values of both intrinsic coercivity and (BH)max, making the materials suitable for perpetual magnet applications. The reduced coercivity of the Sr0.8La0.2Fe11CuO19 (SLCHF) sample with high magnetizations suggested its potential use in microwave absorbing and data storage materials.

Summary: Organic single-crystalline semiconductors have attracted significant attention in the field of organic electronics and optoelectronic devices due to their highly ordered structure, high carrier mobility, and low impurity content. The molecular doping technique has shown potential in optimizing the optical and electrical properties of organic semiconductors, with the use of fluorescent dye-molecules as emissive dopants being able to tune emission color. The controllable molecular doping approach can manipulate charge carrier transport properties in organic single crystals, potentially leading to balanced carrier transport and improved device performance.

Summary: High-quality single crystals of KCo2As2 with the tetragonal ThCr2Si2 structure were grown using KAs self flux. The structural, magnetic, thermal, and electrical transport properties were investigated. The in-plane electrical resistivity rho shows an unusual behavior, with a T-4 behavior below 30 K and an anomalous positive curvature above 30 K. The material also exhibits magnetoresistance and a small magnetic susceptibility. Heat capacity data suggest the presence of excited optical vibration modes.

Summary: Low-temperature variable-energy electron irradiation induced non-magnetic disorder in a hole-doped iron-based superconductor Ba1-xKxFe2As2, x = 0.80. The resistivity of the sample increased linearly with irradiation fluence, indicating the creation of uncorrelated dilute point-like disorder. The predominant creation of defects in the iron sublattice was confirmed by comparing with calculated partial cross-sections. Simultaneously, the superconducting transition temperature was monotonically suppressed due to the total scattering rate, supporting the assumption of the dominant role of the iron sub-lattice in iron-based superconductors.

Summary: Neutron diffraction, magnetization, and muon spin relaxation measurements, supplemented by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, have been used to unravel temperature-driven magnetization reversal in inverse spinel Co2VO4. It is found that there is a second-order magnetic phase transition at 168 K to a collinear ferrimagnetic phase. Neutron diffraction measurements reveal the presence of two antiparallel ferromagnetic (FM) sublattices, and the evolution of the ordered moment with temperature leads to a reversal of the net magnetic moment at 65 K. DFT results suggest that this reversal is due to a delocalization-localization crossover of the unfilled 3d-shell electrons on one sublattice.
