Crystal and electronic structure, lattice dynamics and thermodynamic stability of little known mixed valent diamagnetic AgIAgIIIF4 beta form of AgF2 is thoroughly examined for the first time and compared with well known antiferromagnetic AgIIF2 alpha form within the framework of Density Functional Theory based methods, phonon direct method and quasiharmonic approximation. Computed equations of state, bulk moduli, electronic densities of states, electronic and phonon band structures including analysis of optically active modes and p T phase diagram of the alpha/beta system are presented. This study demonstrates that alpha is thermodynamically preferred over beta at all temperatures and pressures of its existance but simultaneously beta is dynamically stable in much broader pressure range. The beta phase is discussed in broader context of isostructural ternary metal fluorides and isolectronic oxides including NaCuO2, the reference compound for existence of CuIII species in high temperature oxocuprate superconductors.

We report a computational survey of chemical doping of silver(II) fluoride, an oxocuprate analog. We find that the ground-state solutions exhibit strong tendency for localization of defects and for phase separation. The additional electronic states a re strongly localized and the resulting doped phases exhibit insulating properties. Our results, together with previous insight from experimental attempts, indicate that chemical doping may not be a feasible way towards high-temperature superconductivity in bulk silver(II) fluoride.
We have measured the magnetization and specific heat of multiferroic CoCr2O4 in magnetic fields up to 14 T. The high-field magnetization measurements indicate a new phase transition at T* = 5 - 6 K. The phase between T* and the lock-in transition at 15 K is characterized by magnetic irreversibility. At higher magnetic fields, the irreversibility increases. Specific-heat measurements confirm the transition at T*, and also show irreversible behavior. We construct a field-temperature phase diagram of CoCr2O4.
We report measurements of resistance and ac magnetic susceptibility on FeSe single crystals under high pressure up to 27.2 kbar. The structural phase transition is quickly suppressed with pressure, and the associated anomaly is not seen above $sim$18 kbar. The superconducting transition temperature evolves nonmonotonically with pressure, showing a minimum at $sim12$ kbar. We find another anomaly at 21.2 K at 11.6 kbar. This anomaly most likely corresponds to the antiferromagnetic phase transition found in $mu$SR measurements [M. Bendele textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. textbf{104}, 087003 (2010)]. The antiferromagnetic and superconducting transition temperatures both increase with pressure up to $sim25$ kbar and then level off. The width of the superconducting transition anomalously broadens in the pressure range where the antiferromagnetism coexists.
Taking the spin-fermion model as the starting point for describing the cuprate superconductors, we obtain an effective nonlinear sigma-field hamiltonian, which takes into account the effect of doping in the system. We obtain an expression for the spi n-wave velocity as a function of the chemical potential. For appropriate values of the parameters we determine the antiferromagnetic phase diagram for the YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ compound as a function of the dopant concentration in good agreement with the experimental data. Furthermore, our approach provides a unified description for the phase diagrams of the hole-doped and the electron doped compounds, which is consistent with the remarkable similarity between the phase diagrams of these compounds, since we have obtained the suppression of the antiferromagnetic phase as the modulus of the chemical potential increases. The aforementioned result then follows by considering positive values of the chemical potential related to the addition of holes to the system, while negative values correspond to the addition of electrons.

The flux pinning force density (Fp) of the single crystalline FeTe0.60Se0.40 superconductor has been calculated from the magnetization measurements. The normalized Fp versus h (=H/Hirr) curves are scaled using the Dew-Hughes formula to underline the pinning mechanism in the compound. The obtained values of pinning parameters p and q indicate the vortex pinning by the mixing of the surface and the point core pinning of the normal centers. The vortex phase diagram has also been drawn for the first time for the FeTe0.60Se0.40, which has very high values of critical current density Jc ~ 1.10(5) Amp/cm2 and the upper critical field Hc2(0) = 65T, with a reasonably high transition temperature Tc =14.5K.
