IrTe$_2$ with large spin-orbital coupling (SOC) shows a CDW-like first order structural phase transition from high-temperature trigonal phase to low-temperature monoclinic phase at 270 K, accompanying with a large jump in transport and magnetic measurement as well as in heat capacity. Here, the 3d element Ni has been doped into IrTe$_2$ by growing Ir$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$Te$_2$ single crystals. Both XRD and XPS results reveal that the Ni atoms have substituted for Ir, which is consistent with the calculation result. Like the CDW behaviour, the structural phase transition shows competition and coexistence with the superconductivity. The monoclinic phase transition has been suppressed gradually with the increase of the doping amount of Ni, at last giving rise to the stabilization of the trigonal phase with superconductivity. Within 0.1$leq$x$leq$0.2, Ir$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$Te$_2$ shows the superconductive behaviour with T$_c$ around 2.6K. The superconductivity shows anisotropy with dimensionless anisotropy parameter $gamma$=$xi_{//}$$/$$xi_{perp}$$sim$ 2. Even Ni element shows ferromagnetic behaviour, Ir$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$Te$_2$ only shows weak paramagnetism, no ferromagnetic order is observed in it, which is coincident with the calculation result that their up and down spin density of states compensate each other well. In addition, for other 3d elements Fe, Co and Mn doped IrTe$_2$, only Ir$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Te$_2$ owns magnetism with magnetic moment of 3.0$mu$$_B$ to the supercell, theoretically.

We carried out a comprehensive study of the electronic, magnetic, and thermodynamic properties of Ni-doped ZrTe$_2$. High quality Ni$_{0.04}$ZrTe$_{1.89}$ single crystals show a possible coexistence of charge density waves (CDW, T$_{CDW}approx287$,K) with superconductivity (T$_capprox 4.1$,K), which we report here for the first time. The temperature dependence of the lower (H$_{c_1}$) and upper (H$_{c_2}$) critical magnetic fields both deviate significantly from the behaviors expected in conventional single-gap s-wave superconductors. However, the behaviors of the normalized superfluid density $rho_s(T)$ and H$_{c_2}(T)$ can be described well using a two-gap model for the Fermi surface, in a manner consistent with conventional multiband superconductivity. Electrical resistivity and specific heat measurements show clear anomalies centered near 287,K suggestive of CDW phase transition. Additionally, electronic-structure calculations support the coexistence of electron-phonon multiband superconductivity and CDW order due to the compensated disconnected nature of the electron- and hole-pockets at the Fermi surface. Our calculations also suggest that ZrTe$_2$ is a non-trivial topological type-II Dirac semimetal. These findings highlight that Ni-doped ZrTe2 is uniquely important for probing the coexistence of superconducting and CDW ground states in an electronic system with non-trivial topology.

In this paper, a comprehensive study of the effects of Ni-doping on structural, electrical, thermal and magnetic properties of the NbB2 is presented. Low amounts (leq 10 %) of Ni substitution on Nb sites cause structural distortions and induce drasti c changes in the physical properties, such as the emergence of a bulk superconducting state with anomalous behaviors in the critical fields (lower and upper) and in the specific heat. Ni-doping at the 9 at.% level, for instance, is able to increase the critical temperature (TC) in stoichiometric NbB2 (< 1.3 K) to approximately 6.0 K. Bulk superconductivity is confirmed by magnetization, electronic transport, and specific heat measurements. Both Hc1 and Hc2 critical fields exhibit a linear dependence with reduced temperature (T/TC), and the specific heat deviates remarkably from the conventional exponential temperature dependence of the single-band BCS theory. These findings suggest multiband superconductivity in the composition range from 0.01 leq x leq 0.10.

A series of 122 phase BaFe$_{2-x}$Ni$_x$As$_2$ ($x$ = 0, 0.055, 0.096, 0.18, 0.23) single crystals were grown by self flux method and a dome-like Ni doping dependence of superconducting transition temperature is discovered. The transition temperature $T_c^{on}$ reaches a maximum of 20.5 K at $x$ = 0.096, and it drops to below 4 K as $x$ $geq$ 0.23. The negative thermopower in the normal state indicates that electron-like charge carrier indeed dominates in this system. This Ni-doped system provides another example of superconductivity induced by electron doping in the 122 phase.
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Ba(Fe$_{0.963}$Ni$_{0.037}$)$_2$As$_2$ manifest a neutron spin resonance in the superconducting state with anisotropic dispersion within the Fe layer. Whereas the resonance is sharply peaked at Q$_{AFM}$ a long the orthorhombic a axis, the resonance disperses upwards away from Q$_{AFM}$ along the b axis. In contrast to the downward dispersing resonance and hour-glass shape of the spin excitations in superconducting cuprates, the resonance in electron-doped BaFe$_2$As$_2$ compounds possesses a magnon-like upwards dispersion.

Superconductivity with $T_c approx 15K$ was recently found in doped NdNiO$_2$. The Ni$^{1+}$O$_2$ layers are expected to be Mott insulators so hole doping should produce Ni$^{2+}$ with $S=1$, incompatible with robust superconductivity. We show that t he NiO$_2$ layers fall inside a ``critical region where the large $pd$ hybridization favors a singlet $^1!A_1$ hole-doped state like in CuO$_2$. However, we find that the superexchange is about one order smaller than in cuprates, thus a magnon ``glue is very unlikely and another mechanism needs to be found.
