Intending to optimize the giant magnetocaloric properties of HoB$_{2}$, we synthesized and magnetocalorically characterized Ho$_{1-x}$Gd$_{x}$B$_{2}$(0.1 $leq$ x $leq$ 0.4) alloys. We found out that Gd enters stoichiometrically and randomly into the Ho site, leading to a Vegard-type structural change. The addition of spherical S$^{7/2}$ Gd$^{3+}$ moments prompts an enhancement in Curie temperature, a reduction in peak value of the magnetic entropy change while still being relatively high, and a broadening of the magnetic entropy change curves. The overall influence is a relatively high refrigerant capacity and relative cooling power, and an extension of the thermal working range to higher temperatures; thus, electing Ho$_{1-x}$Gd$_{x}$B$_{2}$(as potential candidates for cryogenic refrigeration applications.

We investigated the superconducting and transport properties in FeTe$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ (0.1 $leq$ $x$ $leq$ 0.4) single crystals prepared by O$_2$-annealing. Sharp superconducting transition width observed in magnetization measurement and the small res idual resistivity prove the high quality of the crystals. All the crystals manifest large, homogeneous, and isotropic critical current density emph{J}$_c$ with self-field value over 10$^5$ A/cm$^2$ at 2 K. The large and field-robust critical current densities prove that the superconductivity in FeTe$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ (0.1 $leq$ $x$ $leq$ 0.4) is in bulk nature. The values of anisotropy parameter close to $T_c$ for crystals with different Se doping levels all reside in the range of 2 - 3. Hall coefficients $R_H$ keeps positive and almost constant value at high temperatures, followed by a sudden decreases before reaching $T$$_c$, which indicates that the electron-type charge carriers become dominant at low temperatures. Furthermore, the characteristic temperature for the sudden decrease in $R_H$ gradually increases with Se doping.
We report on the emergence of robust superconducting order in single crystal alloys of 2H-TaSe$_{2-x}$S$_{x}$ (0$leq$x$leq$2) . The critical temperature of the alloy is surprisingly higher than that of the two end compounds TaSe$_{2}$ and TaS$_{2}$. The evolution of superconducting critical temperature T$_{c} (x)$ correlates with the full width at half maximum of the Bragg peaks and with the linear term of the high temperature resistivity. The conductivity of the crystals near the middle of the alloy series is higher or similar than that of either one of the end members 2H-TaSe$_{2}$ and/or 2H-TaS$_{2}$. It is known that in these materials superconductivity (SC) is in close competition with charge density wave (CDW) order. We interpret our experimental findings in a picture where disorder tilts this balance in favor of superconductivity by destroying the CDW order.
We report the successful synthesis of FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_{x}$ single crystals with $x$ ranging from 0 to 1 via a hydrothermal method. A complete phase diagram of FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_{x}$ has been obtained based on resistivity and magnetization measurements. T he nematicity is suppressed with increasing $x$, and a small superconducting dome appears within the nematic phase. Outside the nematic phase, the superconductivity is continuously suppressed and reaches a minimum $T_c$ at $x$ = 0.45; beyond this point, $T_c$ slowly increases until $x$ = 1. Intriguingly, an anomalous resistivity upturn with a characteristic temperature $T^*$ in the intermediate region of $0.31 leq x leq 0.71$ is observed. $T^{*}$ shows a dome-like behavior with a maximum value at $x$ = 0.45, which is opposite the evolution of $T_c$, indicating competition between $T^*$ and superconductivity. The origin of $T^*$ is discussed in detail. Furthermore, the normal state resistivity evolves from non-Fermi-liquid to Fermi-liquid behavior with S doping at low temperatures, accompanied by a reduction in electronic correlations. Our study addresses the lack of single crystals in the high-S doping region and provides a complete phase diagram, which will promote the study of relations among nematicity, superconductivity, and magnetism.

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.
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.
