RV 6 Sn 6 (R= Y, Gd-Tm, Lu) single crystals are synthesized by the Sn-flux method and their
physical properties are characterized by magnetization, resistivity, and specific heat …

We report on the magnetization, specific heat, and electrical resistivity for a newly
discovered heavy-fermion (HF) compound, YbV 6 Sn 6, which is crystallized in a hexagonal …

Recent improvements in instrumentation have established resonant inelastic X-ray
scattering (RIXS) as a valuable new probe of the magnetic excitations in the cuprates. This …

Understanding and controlling the way excitons propagate in solids is a key for tailoring
materials with improved optoelectronic properties. A fundamental step in this direction is the …

In situ high energy resolution fluorescence detection X-ray absorption spectroscopy (HERFD-
XAS) was used to systematically evaluate interactions of H2O and O2 adsorbed on Pt and …

We combine Mn L 2, 3-edge X-ray absorption, high resolution Mn 2p–3d–2p resonant X-ray
emission, and configuration–interaction full-multiplet (CIFM) calculation to analyze the …

The mechanism to realize the peculiar flat bands generally existing in R Co 5 (R= rare earth)
compounds is clarified by analyzing the first-principles band structures and the tight-binding …

We report a Cu K-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) study of momentum-
dependent charge excitations in Nd2− x Ce x CuO4 (x= 0.075 and 0.18). The peak position …

The ground state of the tt′-J ladder with four legs favors a striped charge distribution for the
parameters corresponding to hole-doped cuprate superconductors. We investigate the …

Thermo-reliability of physical vapor deposition (PVD) Cr/Au on sapphire substrates was
systematically investigated to improve the routing interconnection for high-temperature …
