Crystal growth using the optical floating zone technique has been extensively used to grow
a variety of bulk crystals, particularly single crystals of metal oxides. A comprehensive review …

In metals, orbital motions of conduction electrons on the Fermi surface are quantized in
magnetic fields, which is manifested by quantum oscillations in electrical resistivity. This …

The aim of this book is to review recent achievements in thetheoretical investigations of the
electronic structure, optical, magneto-optical (MO), and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism …

This review describes the recent progress of floating-zone techniques for bulk single-crystal
growth. The most crucial point of the crucible-free technique is to keep the molten zone …

The phenomenon of photoelectron emission was found more than a century ago and
yielded the concept of photons. The relation between the photon energies and the kinetic …

Quantum oscillations in transport and thermodynamic parameters at high magnetic fields are
an unambiguous signature of the Fermi surface, the defining characteristic of a metal …

Strong electronic interactions in condensed-matter systems often lead to unusual quantum
phases. One such phase occurs in the Kondo insulator YbB12, the insulating state of which …

In correlated electronic systems, strong interactions and the interplay between different
degrees of freedom may give rise to anomalous charge-transport properties, which can be …

A synergistic effect between strong electron correlation and spin–orbit interaction has been
theoretically predicted to realize new topological states of quantum matter on Kondo …

The electronic structure and optical spectra of SmB 6 and YbB 12 are investigated
theoretically from first principles, using the fully relativistic Dirac LMTO band structure …
