In order to investigate physical properties around a ferromagnetic (FM) quantum transition point and a tricritical point (TCP) in the itinerant-electron metamagnetic compound UCoAl, we have performed the $^{59}$Co nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurement for the Fe-substituted U(Co$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$)Al ($x$ = 0, 0.5, 1, and 2%) in zero external magnetic field. The Fe concentration dependence of $^{59}$Co-NQR spectra at low temperatures indicates that the first-order FM transition occurs at least above $x$ = 1%. The magnetic fluctuations along the $c$ axis detected by the nuclear spin-spin relaxation rate $1/T_2$ exhibit an anomaly at $T_mathrm{max}$ $sim$ 20 K and enhance with increasing $x$. These results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions and indicate the presence of prominent critical fluctuations at the TCP in this system.

Electron-electron (e-e) and electron-hole (e-h) interactions are often associated with many exotic phenomena in correlated electron systems. Here, we report an observation of anomalous excitons at 3.75 , 4.67 and 6.11 eV at 4.2 K in bulk-SrTiO$_3$. F
ully supported by ab initio GW Bethe-Salpeter equation calculations, these excitons are due to surprisingly strong e-h and e-e interactions with different characters: 4.67 and 6.11 eV are resonant excitons and 3.75 eV is a bound Wannier-like exciton with an unexpectedly higher level of delocalization. Measurements and calculations on SrTi$_{1-x}$Nb$_x$O$_3$ for 0.0001$leq$x$leq$0.005 further show that energy and spectral-weight of the excitonic peaks vary as a function of electron doping (x) and temperature, which are attributed to screening effects. Our results show the importance of e-h and e-e interactions yielding to anomalous excitons and thus bring out a new fundamental perspective in SrTiO$_3$.
We report the effects of electron doping on the crystal structure and electrical resistivity of LaOBiS$_{2-x}$F$_x$ (0.05 $leq$ $x$ $leq$ 0.2). The $ab$ plane is found to be relatively insensitive to the amount of F, whereas the $c$ axis shrinks cont
inuously with increasing $x$, suggesting that the doped F atoms substitute selectively into the apical sites in the BiS$_2$ layer. At $x$ = 0.10, as the temperature is decreased from room temperature, the electrical resistivity is temperature-independent from room temperature to 285 K, increases linearly with decreasing temperature from 285 K to 205 K and then shows obvious insulating behavior below 205 K, which may be due to strong spin-orbit coupling. LaOBiS$_{1.9}$F$_{0.1}$ shows the significantly weak and temperature-independent diamagnetism without any evident anomalies caused by a phase transition.
Remarkably, doping isovalent $d^{10}$ and $d^0$ cations onto the $B$ site in $A_2B$$B$O$_6$ double perovskites has the power to direct the magnetic interactions between magnetic $B$ cations. This is due to changes in orbital hybridization, which favo
rs different superexchange pathways, and leads to the formation of alternative magnetic structures depending on whether $B$ is $d^{10}$ or $d^0$. Furthermore, the competition generated by introducing mixtures of $d^{10}$ and $d^0$ cations can drive the material into the realms of exotic quantum magnetism. Here, a W$^{6+}$ $d^0$ dopant was introduced to a $d^{10}$ hexagonal perovskite Ba$_2$CuTeO$_6$, which possesses a spin ladder geometry of Cu$^{2+}$ cations, creating a Ba$_2$CuTe$_{1-x}$W$_x$O$_6$ solid solution ($x$ = 0 - 0.3). Neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction show that W$^{6+}$ is almost exclusively substituted for Te$^{6+}$ on the corner-sharing site within the spin ladder, in preference to the face-sharing site between ladders. This means the intra-ladder interactions are selectively tuned by the $d^0$ cations. Bulk magnetic measurements suggest this suppresses magnetic ordering in a similar manner to that observed for the spin-liquid like material Sr$_2$CuTe$_{1-x}$W$_x$O$_6$. This further demonstrates the utility of $d^{10}$ and $d^0$ dopants as a tool for tuning magnetic ground states in a wide range of perovskites and perovskite-derived structures.
We report the temperature and magnetic field dependence of transport properties in epitaxial films of the manganite La$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$ in the overdoped region of the phase diagram for $x > 0.5$, where a charge--ordered (CO) and an antiferrom
agnetic (AF) phase are present. Resistivity, magnetoresistance and angular dependence of magnetoresistance were measured in the temperature interval $4.2 ~mathrm{K} < T < 300 ~mathrm{K}$, for three concentrations $x = 0.52, 0.58$ and $0.75$ and in magnetic fields up to 5 T. The semiconductor/insulator--like behavior in zero field was observed in the entire temperature range for all three concentrations textit{x} and the electric conduction, at lower temperatures, in the CO state obeys 3D Motts variable--range hopping model. A huge negative magnetoresistance for $x = 0.52$ and $x = 0.58$, a metal--insulator transition for $B > 3 ~mathrm{T}$ for $x = 0.52$ and the presence of anisotropy in magnetoresistance for $x = 0.52$ and $x = 0.58$ show the fingerprints of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) behavior implying the existence of ferromagnetic (FM) clusters. The declining influence of the FM clusters in the CO/AF part of the phase diagram with increasing $x$ contributes to a possible explanation that a phase coexistence is the origin of the CMR phenomenon.
Here we report the observation of Fermi surface (FS) pockets via the Shubnikov de Haas effect in Na$_x$CoO$_2$ for $x = 0.71$ and 0.84, respectively. Our observations indicate that the FS expected for each compound intersects their corresponding Bril
louin zones, as defined by the previously reported superlattice structures, leading to small reconstructed FS pockets, but only if a precise number of holes per unit cell is emph{localized}. For $0.71 leq x < 0.75$ the coexistence of itinerant carriers and localized $S =1/2$ spins on a paramagnetic triangular superlattice leads at low temperatures to the observation of a deviation from standard Fermi-liquid behavior in the electrical transport and heat capacity properties, suggesting the formation of some kind of quantum spin-liquid ground state.
