High pressure X-ray diffraction measurements have been carried out on the intermetallic semiconductor FeGa$_3$ and the equation of state for FeGa$_3$ has been determined. First principles based DFT calculations within the GGA approximation indicate that although the unit cell volume matches well with the experimentally obtained value at ambient pressure, it is significantly underestimated at high pressures and the difference between them increases as pressure increases. GGA + U calculations with increasing values of U$_{Fe(3d)}$ (on-site Coulomb repulsion between the Fe 3d electrons) at high pressures, correct this discrepancy. Further, the GGA+U calculations also show that along with U$_{Fe(3d)}$, the Fe 3d band width also increases with pressure and around a pressure of 4 GPa, a small density of states appear at the Fermi level. High pressure resistance measurements carried out on FeGa$_3$ also clearly show a signature of an electronic transition. Beyond the pressure of 19.7 GPa, the diffraction peaks reduce in intensity and are not observable beyond $sim$ 26 GPa, leading to an amorphous state.

Thermoelectric properties of the chemically-doped intermetallic narrow-band semiconductor FeGa3 are reported. The parent compound shows semiconductor-like behavior with a small band gap (Eg = 0.2 eV), a carrier density of ~ 10(18) cm-3 and, a large n
-type Seebeck coefficient (S ~ -400 mu V/K) at room temperature. Hall effect measurements indicate that chemical doping significantly increases the carrier density, resulting in a metallic state, while the Seebeck coefficient still remains fairly large (~ -150 mu V/K). The largest power factor (S2/{rho} = 62 mu W/m K2) and corresponding figure of merit (ZT = 0.013) at 390 K were observed for Fe0.99Co0.01(Ga0.997Ge0.003)3.
The electronic and optical properties of self-assembled InN/GaN quantum dots (QDs) are investigated by means of a tight-binding model combined with configuration interaction calculations. Tight-binding single particle wave functions are used as a bas
is for computing Coulomb and dipole matrix elements. Within this framework, we analyze multi-exciton emission spectra for two different sizes of a lens-shaped InN/GaN QD with wurtzite crystal structure. The impact of the symmetry of the involved electron and hole one-particle states on the optical spectra is discussed in detail. Furthermore we show how the characteristic features of the spectra can be interpreted using a simplified Hamiltonian which provides analytical results for the interacting multi-exciton complexes. We predict a vanishing exciton and biexciton ground state emission for small lens-shaped InN/GaN QDs. For larger systems we report a bright ground state emission but with drastically reduced oscillator strengths caused by the quantum confined Stark effect.
We studied the crystal and magnetic structure of Ca2RuO4 by different diffraction techniques under high pressure. The observed first order phase transition at moderate pressure (0.5 GPa) between the insulating phase and the metallic high pressure pha
se is characterized by a broad region of phase coexistence. The following structural changes are observed as function of pressure: a) a discontinuous change of both the tilt and rotation angle of the RuO6-Octahedra at this transition, b) a gradual decrease of the tilt angle in the high pressure phase (p>0.5 GPa) and c) the disappearance of the tilt above 5.5GPa leading to a higher symmetry structure. By single crystal neutron diffraction at low temperature, the ferromagnetic component of the high pressure phase and a rearrangement of antiferromagnetic order in the low pressure phase was observed.
We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of the kagome mineral averievite (CsCl)Cu$_5$V$_2$O$_{10}$ and its phosphate analog (CsCl)Cu$_5$P$_2$O$_{10}$ using first-principles calculations. The crystal structure of these compounds features
Cu$^{2+}$ kagome layers sandwiched between Cu$^{2+}$-P$^{5+}$/Cu$^{2+}$-V$^{5+}$ honeycomb planes, with pyrochlore slabs made of corner-sharing Cu-tetrahedra being formed. The induced chemical pressure effect upon substitution of V by P causes significant changes in the structure and magnetic properties. Even though the in-plane antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupling (J$_1$) within the kagome layer is similar in the two materials, the inter-plane AFM coupling (J$_2$) between kagome and honeycomb layers is five times larger in the P-variant increasing the degree of magnetic frustration in the constituting Cu-tetrahedra.
We report experimental evidence for pressure instabilities in the model multiferroic BiFeO3 and namely reveal two structural phase transitions around 3 GPa and 10 GPa by using diffraction and far-infrared spectroscopy at a synchrotron source. The int
ermediate phase from 3 to 9 GPa crystallizes in a monoclinic space group, with octahedra tilts and small cation displacements. When the pressure is further increased the cation displacements (and thus the polar character) of BiFeO3 is suppressed above 10 GPa. The above 10 GPa observed non-polar orthorhombic Pnma structure is in agreement with recent theoretical ab-initio prediction, while the intermediate monoclinic phase was not predicted theoretically.
