The bulk single crystals of $S = 1$ chain compound Ni(C$_3$H$_{10}$N$_2$)$_2$NO$_2$ClO$_4$ are grown by using a slow evaporation method at a constant temperature and a slow cooling method. It is found that the optimum condition of growing large crystals is via slow evaporation at 25 $^circ$C using 0.015 mol Ni(ClO$_4$)$_2$$cdot$6H$_2$O, 0.015 mol NaNO$_2$, and 0.03 mol 1,3-propanediamine liquid dissolved into 30 ml aqueous solvent. High-quality crystals with size up to $18 times 7.5 times 5$ mm$^3$ are obtained. The single crystals are characterized by measurements of x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and thermal conductivity. The susceptibilities along three crystallographic axes are found to exhibit broad peaks at $sim 55$ K, and then decrease abruptly to zero at lower temperatures, which is characteristic of a Haldane chain system. The specific heat and the thermal conductivity along the $c$ axis can be attributed to the simple phononic contribution and are analyzed using the Debye approximation.

Specific heat measurements down to 0.5 K have been performed on a single crystal sample of a spin-ladder like compound Cu$_{2}$(C$_{5}$H$_{12}$N$_{2}$)$_{2}$Cl$_{4}$ under magnetic fields up to 12 T. The temperature dependence of the observed data in
a magnetic field below 6 T is well reproduced by numerical results calculated for the S=1/2 two-leg ladder with $J_{rm{rung}}$/$J_{rm{leg}}$=5. In the gapless region above 7 T ($H_{rm{c1}}$), the agreement between experiment and calculation is good above about 2 K and a sharp and a round peak were observed below 2 K in a magnetic field around 10 T, but the numerical data show only a round peak, the magnitude of which is smaller than that of the observed one. The origin of the sharp peak and the difference between the experimental and numerical round peak are discussed.
SrTm$_2$O$_4$ has been investigated using heat capacity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization in pulsed fields, and inelastic neutron scattering measurements. These results show that the system is highly anisotropic, has gapped low-energy dispersin
g magnetic excitations, and remains in a paramagnetic state down to 2K. Two theoretical crystal field models were used to describe the single-ion properties of SrTm$_2$O$_4$without any optimization procedures; a standard point-charge model and a Density Functional Theory (DFT) based model that uses Wannier functions. The DFT model was found to better describe the system at low energy by predicting a singlet ground state for one Tm site and a doublet for the second Tm site and anisotropy of second site Tm dominating the anisotropy of the system. Additionally, muon spin rotation/relaxation ($mu^+$psr) spectra reveal oscillations, typically a sign of long-range magnetic order. We attribute these observations to lattice distortion induced by muon implantation, causing renormalization of the gap size.
High-temperature indium flux growth was applied to prepare single crystals of GdRh$_2$Si$_2$ by a modified Bridgman method leading to mm-sized single crystals with a platelet habitus. Specific heat and susceptibility data of GdRh$_2$Si$_2$ exhibit a
pronounced anomaly at $T_N = 107rm ,K$, where the AFM ordering sets in. Magnetic measurements on the single crystals were performed down to $T = 2$,K in external fields from B = 0 - 9,T applied along the $[100]$-, $[110]$- and $[001]$-direction of the tetragonal lattice. The effective magnetic moment determined from a Curie-Weiss fit agrees well with values from literature, and is larger than the theoretically predicted value. Electrical transport data recorded for current flow parallel and perpendicular to the $[001]$-direction show a large anisotropy below $T_N$. The residual resistivity ratio $rm RRR=rho_{300K}/rho_{0}sim 23$ demonstrates that we succeeded in preparing high-quality crystals using high-temperature indium flux-growth.
We re-examine the thermodynamic properties of the coupled dimer system Cu$_2$(C$_5$H$_{12}$N$_2$)$_2$Cl$_4$ under magnetic field in the light of recent NMR experiments [Clemancey {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 97}, 167204 (2006)] suggesting the ex
istence of a finite Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. We show that including such a spin anisotropy greatly improves the fit of the magnetization curve and gives the correct trend of the insofar unexplained anomalous behavior of the specific heat in magnetic field at low temperature.
Strongly correlated electrons in layered perovskite structures have been the birthplace of high-temperature superconductivity, spin liquid, and quantum criticality. Specifically, the cuprate materials with layered structures made of corner sharing sq
uare planar CuO$_4$ units have been intensely studied due to their Mott insulating grounds state which leads to high-temperature superconductivity upon doping. Identifying new compounds with similar lattice and electronic structures has become a challenge in solid state chemistry. Here, we report the hydrothermal crystal growth of a new copper tellurite sulfate Cu$_3$(TeO$_4$)(SO$_4$)$cdot$H$_2$O, a promising alternative to layered perovskites. The orthorhombic phase (space group $Pnma$) is made of corrugated layers of corner-sharing CuO$_4$ square-planar units that are edge-shared with TeO$_4$ units. The layers are linked by slabs of corner-sharing CuO$_4$ and SO$_4$. Using both the bond valence sum analysis and magnetization data, we find purely Cu$^{2+}$ ions within the layers, but a mixed valence of Cu$^{2+}$/Cu${^+}$ between the layers. Cu$_3$(TeO$_4$)(SO$_4$)$cdot$H$_2$O undergoes an antiferromagnetic transition at $T_N$=67 K marked by a peak in the magnetic susceptibility. Upon further cooling, a spin-canting transition occurs at $T^{star}$=12 K evidenced by a kink in the heat capacity. The spin-canting transition is explained based on a $J_1$-$J_2$ model of magnetic interactions, which is consistent with the slightly different in-plane super-exchange paths. We present Cu$_3$(TeO$_4$)(SO$_4$)$cdot$H$_2$O as a promising platform for the future doping and strain experiments that could tune the Mott insulating ground state into superconducting or spin liquid states.
