Influence of the Pd-Si ratio on the valence transition in EuPdSi single crystals
Kristin Kliemt, Marius Peters, Isabel Reiser +9
Single crystals of intermediate valent EuPdSi were grown from an Eu-rich melt by the Bridgman as well as the Czochralski technique. The chemical and structural characteriza…
Competing magnetic order in EuPdSi
Michelle Ocker, Franziska Walther, Nour Maraytta +4
Single crystals of EuPdSi were grown using a high-temperature EuPd-flux method. The material was structurally and chemically characterized by single-crystal x-ray diffracti…
Single crystal growth and properties of Au- and Ge-substituted EuPdSi
Michelle Ocker, Robert Möller, Marius Peters +7
We report on the single crystal growth of Eu(PdAu)Si, , from a levitating Eu-rich melt using the Czochralski method. Our structural analysis of th…
Symmetric versus antisymmetric strain tuning of the valence transition in Yb(InAg)Cu
Caitlin I. O'Neil, Michelle Ocker, Kristin Kliemt +2
Similar to transitions in a range of correlated quantum materials, the valence transition exhibits a strong coupling to the crystal lattice, rendering it highly sensitive to stress…
Towards a critical endpoint in the valence fluctuating Eu(RhCo)Si system
Franziska Walther, Michelle Ocker, Alexej Kraiker +4
We report on the successful single crystal growth of pure EuRhSi and of Eu(RhCo)Si with by the flux method. Through Co substitution, E…
Single crystal growth and physical characterization to fine tune YbIn1-xTxCu4 (T = Au, Ag) towards the critical endpoint of the valence transition
Michelle Ocker, Bereket Ghebretinsae, Jan-Niklas Zimmermann +6
Pure as well as Ag- and Au-substituted YbInCu single crystals were structurally and chemically characterized and investigated by means of heat capacity, magnetization, resistiv…
