We report the pressure response of charge-density-wave (CDW) and ferromagnetic (FM) phases of the rare-earth intermetallic SmNiC2 up to 5.5 GPa. The CDW transition temperature (T_{CDW}), which is reflected as a sharp inflection in the electrical resistivity, is almost independent of pressure up to 2.18 GPa but is strongly enhanced at higher pressures, increasing from 155.7 K at 2.2 GPa to 279.3 K at 5.5 GPa. Commensurate with the sharp increase in T_{CDW}, the first-order FM phase transition, which decreases with applied pressure, bifurcates into the upper (T_{M1}) and lower (T_c) phase transitions and the lower transition changes its nature to second order above 2.18 GPa. Enhancement both in the residual resistivity and the Fermi-liquid T^2 coefficient A near 3.8 GPa suggests abundant magnetic quantum fluctuations that arise from the possible presence of a FM quantum critical point.

The dynamical properties of longitudinal and transverse conduction of NbSe$_3$ single-crystals have been simultaneously studied when the current is applied along the b axis (chain direction). In the vicinity of the threshold electric field for CDW sl
iding, the transverse conduction sharply decreases. When a rf field is applied, voltage Shapiro steps for longitudinal transport are observed as usual, but also current Shapiro steps in the transverse direction. The possible mechanisms of this effect are discussed.
The competition between magnetic ordering and the Kondo effect in Ce2RhSi3, ordering antiferromagnetically at 7 K, is investigated by the measurements of magnetization, heat capacity and electrical resistivity on the solid solutions, Ce(2-x)La(x)RhSi
3, Ce(2-y)Y(y)RhSi3, and Ce2RhSi(3-z)Ge(z), as well as by high pressure studies on this compound. The trends in the Kondo and Neel temperature variations among these alloys are compared to infer the roles of unit-cell volume and electronic structure changes. On the basis of the results, we infer that this compound lies at the peak of Doniach-magnetic-phase-diagram. The high pressure electrical resistivity data indicate that the quantum critical point for this compound is in the vicinity of 4 GPa.
In this study we report the results of study of novel ternary $Np_2PtGa_3$ compound. The x-ray-powder diffraction analysis reveals that the compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic CeCu$_2$-type crystal structure (space group Imma) with lattice para
meters $a$ = 0.4409(2) nm, $b$ = 0.7077(3) nm and $c$ = 0.7683(3) nm at room temperature. The measurements of dc magnetization, specific heat and electron transport properties in the temperature range 1.7 - 300 K and in magnetic fields up to 9 T imply that this intermetallic compound belongs to a class of ferromagnetic Kondo systems. The Curie temperature of $T_C sim$ 26 K is determined from the magnetization and specific heat data. An enhanced coefficient of the electronic specific heat of $gamma$ = 180 mJ/(mol at. Np K$^2$) and -lnT dependence of the electrical resistivity indicate the presence of Kondo effect, which can be described in terms of the S = 1 underscreened Kondo-lattice model. The estimated Kondo temperature $T_K sim$ 24 K, Hall mobility of $sim$ 16.8 cm$^2$/Vs and effective mass of $sim$ 83 $m_e$ are consistent with assumption that the heavy-fermion state develops in $Np_2PtGa_3$ at low temperatures. We compare the observed properties of $Np_2PtGa_3$ to that found in $Np_2PtGa_3$ and discuss their difference in regard to change in the exchange interaction between the conduction and localized 5f electrons. We have used the Fermi wave vector $k_F$ to evaluate the Rudermann-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) exchange. Based on experimental data of the (U, Np)$_2$(Pd, Pt)Ga$_3$ compounds we suggest that the evolution of the magnetic ground states in these actinide compounds can be explained within the RKKY formalism.
We investigate the low-temperature charge-density-wave (CDW) state of bulk TaS$_2$ with a fully self-consistent DFT+U approach, over which the controversy has remained unresolved regarding the out-of-plane metallic band. By examining the innate struc
ture of the Hubbard U potential, we reveal that the conventional use of atomic-orbital basis could seriously misevaluate the electron correlation in the CDW state. By adopting a generalized basis, covering the whole David star, we successfully reproduce the Mott insulating nature with the layer-by-layer antiferromagnetic order. Similar consideration should be applied for description of the electron correlation in molecular solid.
The spin ice materials Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7 are experimental and theoretical exemplars of highly frustrated magnetic materials. However, the effects of an applied uniaxial pressure are not well studied, and here we report magnetization measurements
of Ho2Ti2O7 under uniaxial pressure applied in the [001], [111] and [110] crystalline directions. The basic features are captured by an extension of the dipolar spin ice model. We find a good match between our model and measurements with pressures applied along two of the three directions, and extend the framework to discuss the influence of crystal misalignment for the third direction. The parameters determined from the magnetization measurements reproduce neutron scattering measurements we perform under uniaxial pressure applied along the [110] crystalline direction. In the detailed analysis we include the recently verified susceptibility dependence of the demagnetizing factor. Our work demonstrates the application of a moderate applied pressure to modify the magnetic interaction parameters. The knowledge can be used to predict critical pressures needed to induce new phases and transitions in frustrated materials, and in the case of Ho2Ti2O7 we expect a transition to a ferromagnetic ground state for uniaxial pressures above 3.3 GPa.
