Noncentrosymmetric (NCS) materials feature an exciting array of functionalities such as
nonlinear optical (NLO) responses and topological spin textures (skyrmions). While NLO …

Transition-metal atoms with d electrons sometimes form clusters in crystals, which
significantly affect the physical properties. Such a cluster formation frequently accompanies …

The lacunar-spinel chalcogenides exhibit magnetic centers in the form of transition-metal
tetrahedra. On the basis of density-functional computations, the electronic ground state of an …

Abstract Polycrystalline La 0.8 K 0.2-x Pb x MnO 3 (x= 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) ceramics were
successfully prepared by flash combustion route and their structural, morphological …

This paper aims to review the physical properties and crystal chemistry of the family of
correlated quantum materials AM4Q8 (A= Ga, Ge; M= V, Nb, Ta, Mo; Q= S, Se). These …

The multifunctional and tunable properties of spinel oxides bring their applicability in various
sustainable applications. In this line, the current work systematically examines the magnetic …

GaMo4S8, is a poorly known lacunar spinel where skyrmions have only been reported very
recently. It belongs to the AM4X8 family, where A is a post-transition metal, M is a transition …

GaMo4Se8, is a lacunar spinel where skyrmions have been recently reported. This
compound belongs to the Ga M 4 X 8 family, where M is a transition metal (V or Mo) and X is …

We present magnetization and muon-spin spectroscopy measurements of Néel-skyrmion
host GaV 4 S 8 under the application of hydrostatic pressures up to P= 2.29 GPa. Our results …

A series of heterometallic tetrahedral cluster complexes with the general formula [{MxRe4−
xSe4}(CN) 12] n−(M= Mo, W; x= 2, 3) were obtained using the reaction of ReI3 and MO3 with …
