Photoemission insights into lanthanide-based crystals
Dmitry Yu. Usachov, Georg Poelchen, Vasily S. Stolyarov +3
The interplay of strongly localized 4 electrons with itinerant spd-valence states gives rise to a wide range of correlated phenomena and properties that place lanthanide materia…
Growth-Controlled Twinning and Magnetic Anisotropy in CeSb
Jan T. Weber, Kristin Kliemt, Sergey L. Bud'ko +2
Cerium diantimonide (CeSb) is a layered heavy-fermion Kondo lattice material that hosts complex magnetism and pressure-induced superconductivity. The interpretation of its in-p…
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…
Giant thermopower changes related to the resistivity maximum and colossal magnetoresistance in EuCd2P2
Judith Grafenhorst, Sarah Krebber, Kristin Kliemt +3
We present the thermopower of EuCd2P2, a material which exhibits a large resistivity peak with significant magnetic field dependence in the temperature range of 10-25 K. In the sam…
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…
