The effect of Ir substitution for Os in CeOs2Al10, with an unusually high Neel temperature of T~28.5K, has been studied by high-resolution neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements. A small amount of Ir (~ 8%) results in a pronounced change of the magnetic structure of the Ce-sublattice. The new magnetic ground state is controlled by the single ion anisotropy and implies antiferromagnetic arrangement of the Ce-moments along the a-axis, as expected from the anisotropy of the paramagnetic susceptibility. The value of the ordered moments, 0.92(1) mu_B, is substantially bigger than in the undoped compound, whereas the transition temperature is reduced down to 21K. A comparison of the observed phenomena with the recently studied CeRu1.9Rh0.1Al10 system, exhibiting similar behaviour [A. Kondo et al., J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 82, 054709 (2013)], strongly suggests the electron doping as the main origin of the ground state changes. This provides a new way of exploring the anomalous magnetic properties of the Ce(Ru/Os)2Al10 compounds.

The layered 5d transition metal oxide Sr2IrO4 has been shown to host a novel Jeff=1/2 Mott spin orbit insulating state with antiferromagnetic ordering, leading to comparisons with the layered cuprates. Here we study the effect of substituting Mn for Ir in single crystals of Sr2Ir0.9Mn0.1O4 through an investigation involving bulk measurements and resonant x-ray and neutron scattering. We observe a new long range magnetic structure emerge upon doping through a reordering of the spins from the basal plane to the c-axis with a reduced ordering temperature compared to Sr2IrO4. The strong enhancement of the magnetic x-ray scattering intensity at the L3 edge relative to the L2 edge indicates that the Jeff=1/2 state is robust and capable of hosting a variety of ground states.
The evolution of the electronic properties of electron-doped (Sr{1-x}La{x})2IrO4 is experimentally explored as the doping limit of La is approached. As electrons are introduced, the electronic ground state transitions from a spin-orbit Mott phase into an electronically phase separated state, where long-range magnetic order vanishes beyond x = 0.02 and charge transport remains percolative up to the limit of La substitution (x~0.06). In particular, the electronic ground state remains inhomogeneous even beyond the collapse of the parent states long-range antiferromagnetic order, while persistent short-range magnetism survives up to the highest La-substitution levels. Furthermore, as electrons are doped into Sr2IrO4, we observe the appearance of a low temperature magnetic glass-like state intermediate to the complete suppression of antiferromagnetic order. Universalities and differences in the electron-doped phase diagrams of single layer and bilayer Ruddlesden-Popper strontium iridates are discussed.
Electron-boson coupling plays a key role in superconductivity for many systems. However, in copper-based high-temperature ($T_c$) superconductors, its relation to superconductivity remains controversial despite strong spectroscopic fingerprints. Here we use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to find a striking correlation between the superconducting gap and the bosonic coupling strength near the Brillouin zone boundary in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+delta}$. The bosonic coupling strength rapidly increases from the overdoped Fermi-liquid regime to the optimally doped strange metal, concomitant with the quadrupled superconducting gap and the doubled gap-to-Tc ratio across the pseudogap boundary. This synchronized lattice and electronic response suggests that the effects of electronic interaction and the electron-phonon coupling become intimately entangled upon entering the strange metal regime, which may in turn drive a stronger superconductivity.
The structural, magnetic and transport properties of the layered RBaCo$_2$O$_{5.5}$ cobaltites are sensitive to the oxygen stoichiometry. In this present study, we report the presence of a low-temperature magnetic glassy state in electron-doped polycrystalline YBaCo$_2$O$_{5.5}$ cobaltite. The ac magnetization studies show the absence of conventional spin glass features, while the various dc magnetization studies demonstrate the presence of non-equilibrium magnetic glassy state at low temperature. The magnetic glassy state of this sample results from the kinetic arrest of the first order ferro (or ferri) to antiferromagnetic transition. The role of electron doping in the occurrence of magnetic glassy phenomena is discussed in terms of magnetic phase separation involving the Co3+/Co2+ clusters of the ferrimagnetic phase in the Co3+/Co3+ antiferromagnetic matrix.
A caged compound CeOs2Al10, crystallizing in the orthorhombic YbFe2Al10-type structure, undergoes a mysterious phase transition at T_0=29 K. We report the results of electron diffraction, magnetization, and magnetoresistance for single crystals. Superlattice reflections characterized by a wave vector q = (0, -2/3, 2/3) observed at 15 K indicate a structural modification in the ordered state. Activation-type behavior of the electrical resistivity along the three principal axes below 50 K suggests gap opening in the conduction band. The magnetic susceptibility chi = M/B is highly anisotropic, chi_a>chi_c>chi_b, all of which sharply decrease on cooling below T_0. Furthermore, a metamagnetic anomaly in the magnetization and a step in the magnetoresistance occur at B=6-8 T only when the magnetic field is applied parallel to the orthorhombic c axis. However, T_0 hardly changes under magnetic fields up to 14 T, irrespective of the field direction. By using these data, we present a B-T phase diagram and discuss several scenarios for the mysterious transition.
