The majority of the beamlines at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Source Laboratory (LNLS)
use radiation produced in the storage-ring bending magnets and are therefore currently …

Magnetism is among the most active and attractive areas in modern solid state physics
because of intriguing phenomena interesting to fundamental research and a manifold of …

The solid solution Eu (Ga 1− x Al x) 4 was grown in single crystal form to reveal a rich variety
of crystallographic, magnetic, and electronic properties that differ from the isostructural end …

Using the element and orbital selectivity of x-ray absorption spectroscopy at Eu and Pt L 3
edges we investigate the effects of the lattice contraction, induced by temperature and …

In rare-earth compounds with valence fluctuation, the proximity of the 4f level to the Fermi
energy leads to instabilities of the charge configuration and the magnetic moment. Here, we …

The new era of spintronics promises the development of nanodevices, where the electron
spin will be used to store information and charge currents will be replaced by spin currents …

Despite the simplicity of their cubic crystal lattice, rare-earth hexaborides display complex
physical properties including a (long debated) onset of metallization via magnetic polaron …

Binary compounds of the rare-earth metals with gallium reveal mostly constant or close to
constant compositions (line phases). This makes the RE gallides as a family suitable for the …

Typically, atomic scale disorder is essential to show glassy behavior and amorphous
materials can be the optimum candidates in this regard. Generating local disorder in an …

Two new europium‐containing Zintl phases, Eu3Si2As4 and Eu3Ge2As4, were discovered
from metal flux reactions and their structures were identified by using single‐crystal X‐ray …
