The conductivity and magnetization of Fe1-xCoxS2 were measured to investigate quantum critical behavior in disordered itinerant magnets. Small x (<0.001) is required to convert insulating iron pyrite into a metal, followed by a paramagnetic-to-ferromagnetic metal transition at x = 0.032+/-0.004. Singular contributions are discovered that are distinct from those at either metal-insulator or magnetic transitions. Our data reveal that disorder and low carrier density associated with proximity to a metal-insulator transition fundamentally modifies the critical behavior of the magnetic transition.

Pressure-induced ordering close to a $z=1$ quantum critical point is studied in the presence of bond disorder in the quantum spin system (C$_4$H$_{12}$N$_2$)Cu$_2$(Cl$_{1-x}$Br$_{x}$)$_6$ (PHCX) by means of muon-spin rotation and relaxation. As for t
he pure system (C$_4$H$_{12}$N$_2$)Cu$_2$Cl$_6$, pressure allows PHCX with small levels of disorder ($xleq 7.5%$) to be driven through a quantum critical point separating a low-pressure quantum paramagnetic phase from magnetic order at high pressures. However, the pressure-induced ordered state is highly inhomogeneous for disorder concentrations $x>1%$. This behavior might be related to the formation of a quantum Griffiths phase above a critical disorder concentration $7.5%<x_{rm c}<15%$. Br-substitution increases the critical pressure and suppresses critical temperatures and ordered moment sizes.
We report on the effects of introducing magnetic and non-magnetic disorder in the hyperkagome iridate quantum spin liquid (QSL) candidate Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$ by partially replacing Ir$^{4+}$ ($S = 1/2$) with Ru$^{4+}$ ($S = 1$) or Ti$^{4+}$ ($S = 0$).
Specifically, we synthesized Na$_4$(Ir$_{1-x}$Ru$_x$)$_3$O$_8 (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.2, 0.3)$ and Na$_4$Ir$_{2.7}$Ti$_{0.3}$O$_8$ samples and measured electrical transport, AC and DC magnetization, and heat capacity down to $T = 1.8$ K. Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$ is associated with a large Weiss temperature $theta = -650$ K, a broad anomaly in magnetic heat capacity C$_{mag}$ at T $approx25$ K, low temperature power-law heat capacity, and spin glass freezing below $T_f approx 6$ K. We track the change in these characteristic features as Ir is partially substituted by Ru or Ti. We find that for Ru substitution, $theta$ increases and stays negative, the anomaly in C$_{mag}$ is suppressed in magnitude and pushed to lower temperatures, low temperature $C sim T^alpha$ with $alpha$ between $2$ and $3$ and decreasing towards $2$ with increasing $x$, and $T_f$ increases with increase in Ru concentration $x$. For Ti substitution we find that $theta$ and T$_f$ become smaller and the anomaly in $C_{mag}$ is completely suppressed. In addition, introducing non-magnetic Ti leads to the creation of orphan spins which show up in the low temperature magnetic susceptibility.
In the vicinity of a quantum critical point, quenched disorder can lead to a quantum Griffiths phase, accompanied by an exotic power-law scaling with a continuously varying dynamical exponent that diverges in the zero-temperature limit. Here, we inve
stigate a nematic quantum critical point in the iron-based superconductor FeSe$_{0.89}$S$_{0.11}$ using applied hydrostatic pressure. We report an unusual crossing of the magnetoresistivity isotherms in the non-superconducting normal state which features a continuously varying dynamical exponent over a large temperature range. We interpret our results in terms of a quantum Griffiths phase caused by nematic islands that result from the local distribution of Se and S atoms. At low temperatures, the Griffiths phase is masked by the emergence of a Fermi liquid phase due to a strong nematoelastic coupling and a Lifshitz transition that changes the topology of the Fermi surface.
We investigate the dispersion of the charge carrier plasmon in the three prototypical charge-density wave bearing transition-metal dichalcogenides 2H-TaSe2, 2H-TaS2 and 2H-NbSe2 employing electron energy-loss spectroscopy. For all three compounds the
plasmon dispersion is found to be negative for small momentum transfers. This is in contrast to the generic behavior observed in simple metals as well as the related system 2H-NbS2, which does not exhibit charge order. We present a semiclassical Ginzburg-Landau model which accounts for these observations, and argue that the vicinity to a charge ordered state is thus reflected in the properties of the collective excitations.
GdFe3(BO3)4 exhibits a structural phase transition at 156 K, antiferromagnetic order of the Fe3+ moments at 36 K followed by a spin reorientation phase transition at 9 K. The reorientation phase transition is studied through dielectric, magnetic and
heat capacity measurements under the application of external magnetic fields of up to 7 kOe. The dielectric constant indicates the existence of two distinct anomalies at T_SR = 9 K that separate in temperature under external magnetic fields. The spin rotation phase transition is proven to be of the first-order nature through the magnetic analogue of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. Magneto-dielectric effect of up to 1% is observed at 8 K and 7 kOe. The uniaxial magnetocaloric effect along the c axis is observed below the spin reorientation phase transition of 9 K.
