This review paper illustrates the main normal and superconducting state properties of
magnesium diboride, a material known since the early 1950s but only recently discovered to …

In this review article we consider theoretically and give experimental support to the models
of the Fermi-Bose mixtures and the BCS-BEC (Bardeen Cooper Schrieffer–Bose Einstein) …

The ab-plane thermal conductivity κ of single-crystalline hexagonal MgB 2 has been
measured as a function of magnetic field H with orientations both parallel and perpendicular …

Abstract XB2 (X= Mg and Al) compounds have drawn great attention for their superior
electronic characteristics and potential applications in semiconductors and superconductors …

We report the magnetic field dependence of the specific-heat C of single crystals of the first
Pr-based heavy-fermion superconductor Pr⁡ O s 4 S b 12. The variation of C at low …

The results of inelastic neutron scattering provide a solution for the crystal field level scheme
in Pr⁡ O s 4 S b 12, in which the ground state in the cubic crystal field potential of T h …

We have carried out a detailed study of the magnetic switching in square lattice cobalt
antidot arrays with periods ranging from 2 μ m down to 200 nm (antidot size= antidot …

The filled skutterudite compound Sm Os 4 Sb 12 was prepared in single-crystal form and
characterized using x-ray diffraction, specific-heat, electrical resistivity, and magnetization …

We present very low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments on
single-crystalline samples of the superconductor β-Bi 2 Pd. We find a single …

We propose new topological insulators in cerium-filled skutterudite (FS) compounds based
on ab initio calculations. We find that two compounds, CeOs 4 As 12 and CeOs 4 Sb 12, are …
