The Fe-based langasites are the first reported compounds presenting a magnetic ordering in this rich family, besides being well known for piezo-electric properties and optical activity. The structural, magnetic and dielectric properties of the Fe langasite compounds, with various substitution of non-magnetic cations, have been studied with x-ray and neutron diffraction, magnetostatic measurements, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and dielectric measurements. The title compounds (trigonal, space group P321) display a helical magnetic order with signatures of frustration below TN ~24- 35 K where an anomaly of the dielectric permittivity is observed. The influence of the cationic substitutions and the nature of the magnetoelectric coupling is hereafter addressed.

We report thermal-expansion, lattice-constant, and specific-heat data of the series La_1-xA_xCoO_3 for 0<= x <= 0.30 with A = Ca, Sr, and Ba. For the undoped compound LaCoO_3 the thermal-expansion coefficient alpha(T) exhibits a pronounced maximum ar
ound T=50K caused by a temperature-driven spin-state transition from a low-spin state of the Co^{3+$ ions at low towards a higher spin state at higher temperatures. The partial substitution of the La^{3+} ions by divalent Ca^{2+}, Sr^{2+}, or Ba^{2+} ions causes drastic changes in the macroscopic properties of LaCoO3. The large maximum in alpha(T) is suppressed and completely vanishes for x> 0.12. For A = Ca three different anomalies develop in alpha(T) with further increasing x, which are visible in specific-heat data as well. Together with temperature-dependent x-ray data we identify several phase transitions as a function of the doping concentration x and temperature. From these data we propose an extended phase diagram for La_1-xCa_xCoO_3.
The detailed optical properties have been determined for the iron-based materials $A$Fe$_2$As$_2$, where $A=,$Ca, Sr, and Ba, for light polarized in the iron-arsenic ($a-b$) planes over a wide frequency range, above and below the magnetic and structu
ral transitions at $T_N =$ 172, 195, and 138 K, respectively. The real and imaginary parts of the complex conductivity are fit simultaneously using two Drude terms in combination with a series of oscillators. Above $T_N$, the free-carrier response consists of a weak, narrow Drude term, and a strong, broad Drude term, both of which show only a weak temperature dependence. Below $T_N$ there is a slight decrease of the plasma frequency but a dramatic drop in the scattering rate for the narrow Drude term, and for the broad Drude term there is a significant decrease in the plasma frequency, while the decrease in the scattering rate, albeit significant, is not as severe. The small values observed for the scattering rates for the narrow Drude term for $Tll{T_N}$ may be related to the Dirac cone-like dispersion of the electronic bands. Below $T_N$ new features emerge in the optical conductivity that are associated with the reconstruction Fermi surface and the gapping of bands at $Delta_1 simeq$ 45 $-$ 80 meV, and $Delta_2 simeq$ 110 $-$ 210 meV. The reduction in the spectral weight associated with the free carriers is captured by the gap structure, specifically, the spectral weight from the narrow Drude term appears to be transferred into the low-energy gap feature, while the missing weight from the broad term shifts to the high-energy gap.
In the ternary system Sr-Cu-Ge, a clathrate type-I phase, Sr8Cu5.3Ge40.7 (a = 1.06311(3), exists close to the Zintl limit in a small temperature interval. Sr8Cu5.3Ge40.7 decomposes eutectoidally on cooling at 730{deg}C into (Ge), SrGe2 and tau1-SrCu2
-xGe2+x. Phase equilibria at 700{deg}C have been established for the Ge rich part and are characterized by the appearance of only one ternary compound, tau1-SrCu2-xGe2+x, which crystallizes with the ThCr2Si2 structure type and forms a homogeneity range up to x=0.4 (a = 0.42850(4), c = 1.0370(1) nm). Additionally, the extent of the clathrate type-I solid solution Ba8-xSrxCuyGe46-y (5.2 < y < 5.4) has been studied at various temperatures. The clathrate type-I crystal structure (space group ) has been proven by X-ray single crystal diffraction on two single crystals with composition Sr8Cu5.3Ge40.7 (a = 1.06368(2) nm) and Ba4.9Sr3.1Cu5.3Ge40.7 (a = 1.06748(2) nm) measured at 300, 200 and 100 K. From the temperature dependency of the lattice parameters and the atomic displacement parameters, the thermal expansion coefficients, the Debye- and Einstein-temperatures and the speed of sound have been determined. From heat capacity measurements of Sr8Cu5.3Ge40.7 at low temperatures, the Sommerfeld coefficient and the Debye temperature have been extracted, whereas from a detailed analysis of these data at higher temperatures, Einstein branches of the phonon dispersion relation have been derived and compared with those obtained from the atomic displacement parameters. Electrical resistivity measurements of Sr8Cu5.3Ge40.7 reveal a rather metallic behaviour in the low temperature range (< 300 K).
The complicated electronic, magnetic, and colossal magnetoresistant (CMR) properties of Sr and Ca doped lanthanum manganites can be understood by spin-polarized first-principles calculations. The electronic properties can be attributed to a detailed
balancing between Sr and Ca induced metal-like O 2p and majority-spin (majority-spin) Mn eg delocalized states and the insulator-like minority-spin (minority-spin) Mn t2g band near the Fermi level (EF). The magnetic properties can be attributed to a detailed balancing between O mediated antiferromagnetic superexchange and delocalized majority-spin Mn eg-state mediated ferromagnetic spin-spin couplings. While CMR can be attributed to the lining up of magnetic domains trigged by the applied magnetic field, which suppresses the trapping ability of the empty Mn t2g states that resists the motion of conducting Mn majority-spin eg electrons.
Ordered states in itinerant magnets may be related to magnetic moments displaying some weak local moment characteristics, as in intermetallic compounds hosting transition metal coordination complexes. In this paper, we report on the Fe $K$-edge X-ray
absorption spectroscopy (XAS) of the itinerant magnets $R$Fe$_{4}$Sb$_{12}$ ($R=$ Na, K, Ca, Sr, Ba), aiming at exploring the electronic and structural properties of the octahedral building block formed by Fe and the Sb ligands. We find evidence for strong hybridization between the Fe $3d$ and Sb $5p$ states at the Fermi level, giving experimental support to previous electronic structure calculations of the $R$Fe$_{4}$Sb$_{12}$ skutterudites. The electronic states derived from Fe 3$d$ Sb $5p$ mixing are shown to be either more occupied and/or less localized in the cases of the magnetically ordered systems, for which $R=$ Na or K, connecting the local Fe electronic structure to the itinerant magnetic properties. Moreover, the analysis of the extended region of the XAS spectra (EXAFS) suggests that bond disorder may be a more relevant parameter to explain the suppression of the ferromagnetic ordered state in CaFe$_{4}$Sb$_{12}$ than the decrease of the density of states.
