For powder samples of CuAl$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$O$_2$ ($x =$ 0, 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1), measured optical properties are compared with model simulations and phonon spectra are compared with simulations based on weighted dynamical matrix approach.

The composition-dependent behavior of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), the spin-orbit torque (SOT), as well as anomalous and spin Hall conductivities of Mn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$Ge alloys have been investigated by first-principles calculations usi
ng the relativistic multiple scattering Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) formalism. The $D_{rm xx}$ component of the DMI exhibits a strong dependence on the Fe concentration, changing sign at $x approx 0.85$ in line with previous theoretical calculations as well as with experimental results demonstrating the change of spin helicity at $x approx 0.8$. A corresponding behavior with a sign change at $x approx 0.5$ is predicted also for the Fermi sea contribution to the SOT, as this is closely related to the DMI. In the case of anomalous and spin Hall effects it is shown that the calculated Fermi sea contributions are rather small and the composition-dependent behavior of these effects are determined mainly by the electronic states at the Fermi level. The spin-orbit-induced scattering mechanisms responsible for both these effects suggest a common origin of the minimum of the AHE and the sign change of the SHE conductivities.
The finite-temperature magnetic properties of Fe$_x$Pd$_{1-x}$ and Co$_x$Pt$_{1-x}$ alloys have been investigated. It is shown that the temperature-dependent magnetic behaviour of alloys, composed of originally magnetic and non-magnetic elements, can
not be described properly unless the coupling between magnetic moments at magnetic atoms (Fe,Co) mediated through the interactions with induced magnetic moments of non-magnetic atoms (Pd,Pt) is included. A scheme for the calculation of the Curie temperature ($T_C$) for this type of systems is presented which is based on the extended Heisenberg Hamiltonian with the appropriate exchange parameters $J_{ij}$ obtained from {em ab-initio} electronic structure calculations. Within the present study the KKR Greens function method has been used to calculate the $J_{ij}$ parameters. A comparison of the obtained Curie temperatures for Fe$_x$Pd$_{1-x}$ and Co$_x$Pt$_{1-x}$ alloys with experimental data shows rather good agreement.
Using density-functional ab initio theoretical techniques, we study (Ga$_{1-x}$In$_x$)$_2$O$_3$ in both its equilibrium structures (monoclinic $beta$ and bixbyite) and over the whole range of composition. We establish that the alloy exhibits a large
and temperature-independent miscibility gap. On the low-$x$ side, the favored phase is isostructural with $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$; on the high-$x$ side, it is isostructural with bixbyite In$_2$O$_3$. The miscibility gap opens between approximately 15% and 55% In content for the bixbyite alloy grown epitaxially on In$_2$O$_3$, and 15% and 85% In content for the free-standing bixbyite alloy. The gap, volume and band offsets to the parent compound also exhibit anomalies as function of $x$. Specifically, the offsets in epitaxial conditions are predominantly type-B staggered, but have opposite signs in the two end-of-range phases.
We report the structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of Co$_2$Cr$_{1-x}$Ti$_x$Al ($x=$ 0--0.5) Heusler alloys for spintronic and magnetic refrigerator applications. Room temperature X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction patterns alon
g with Rietveld refinements confirm that the samples are of single phase and possess a cubic structure. Interestingly, magnetic susceptibly measurements indicate a second order phase transition from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic where the Curie temperature (T$_{rm C}$) of Co$_2$CrAl increases from 330~K to 445~K with Ti substitution. Neutron powder diffraction data of the $x=$ 0 sample across the magnetic phase transition taken in a large temperature range confirm the structural stability and exclude the possibility of antiferromagnetic ordering. The saturation magnetization of the $x=$ 0 sample is found to be 8000~emu/mol (1.45~$mu_{rm B}$/{it f.u.}) at 5~K, which is in good agreement with the value (1.35$pm$0.05~$mu_{rm B}$/{it f.u.}) obtained from the Rietveld analysis of the neutron powder diffraction pattern measured at temperature of 4~K. By analysing the temperature dependence of the neutron data of the $x=$ 0 sample, we find that the change in the intensity of the most intense Bragg peak (220) is consistent with the magnetization behavior with temperature. Furthermore, an enhancement of change in the magnetic entropy and relative cooling power values has been observed for the $x=$ 0.25 sample. Interestingly, the critical behavior analysis across the second order magnetic phase transition and extracted exponents ($betaapprox$ 0.496, $gammaapprox$ 1.348, and $deltaapprox$ 3.71 for the $x=$ 0.25 sample) suggest the presence of long-range ordering, which deviates towards 3D Heisenberg type interactions above T$_{rm C}$, consistent with the interaction range value $sigma$.
The structural polymorphism in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provides exciting opportunities for developing advanced electronics. For example, MoTe$_2$ crystallizes in the 2H semiconducting phase at ambient temperature and pressure, but tra
nsitions into the 1T$^prime$ semimetallic phase at high temperatures. Alloying MoTe$_2$ with WTe$_2$ reduces the energy barrier between these two phases, while also allowing access to the T$_d$ Weyl semimetal phase. The MoWTe$_2$ alloy system is therefore promising for developing phase change memory technology. However, achieving this goal necessitates a detailed understanding of the phase composition in the MoTe$_2$-WTe$_2$ system. We combine polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to study MoWTe$_2$ alloys over the full compositional range x from 0 to 1. We identify Raman and XRD signatures characteristic of the 2H, 1T$^prime$, and T$_d$ structural phases that agree with density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, and use them to identify phase fields in the MoTe$_2$-WTe$_2$ system, including single-phase 2H, 1T$^prime$, and T$_d$ regions, as well as a two-phase 1T$^prime$ + T$_d$ region. Disorder arising from compositional fluctuations in MoWTe$_2$ alloys breaks inversion and translational symmetry, leading to the activation of an infrared 1T$^prime$-MoTe$_2$ mode and the enhancement of a double-resonance Raman process in 2H-MoWTe$_2$ alloys. Compositional fluctuations limit the phonon correlation length, which we estimate by fitting the observed asymmetric Raman lineshapes with a phonon confinement model. These observations reveal the important role of disorder in MoWTe$_2$ alloys, clarify the structural phase boundaries, and provide a foundation for future explorations of phase transitions and electronic phenomena in this system.
