Thermoelectric (TE) materials and devices are crucial for renewable thermal-to-electrical
energy conversion applications. The optimization of TE performance can be achieved by …

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is one of the most important techniques for
microstructure determination, being utilized in a wide range of scientific disciplines, such as …

NATURE abounds with phase transitions. The boiling and freezing of water are everyday
examples of phase transitions, as are more exotic processes such as superconductivity and …

An overview of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in metallic ferromagnets, discussing both
experimental and theoretical aspects, is given. These QPTs can be classified with respect to …

This review discusses instabilities of the Fermi-liquid state of conduction electrons in metals
with particular emphasis on magnetic quantum critical points. Both existing theoretical …

In a conventional superconductor, the binding of electrons into the paired states that
collectively carry the supercurrent is mediated by phonons—vibrations of the crystal lattice …

The discovery of superconductivity at high pressure (albeit over a restricted range) in the
ferromagnetic material UGe2 raised the possibility that bulk superconductivity might be …

Intermetallic compounds containing f-electron elements display a wealth of superconducting
phases, which are prime candidates for unconventional pairing with complex order …

This paper is concerned with the weak-moment magnetism in heavy-fermion materials and
its relation to the non-Fermi-liquid physics observed near the transition to the Fermi liquid …

A new integral-field spectrograph, SAURON, is described. It is based on the TIGER principle,
and uses a lenslet array. SAURON has a large field of view and high throughput, and allows …
