Collective behavior of interacting electrons in solids usually leads to the emergence of several complex phenomena in condensed matter such as superconductivity, magnetoresistance, thermoelectricity, complex magnetic ordering, multiferroic properties, metal-insulator transitions, non-Fermi-Liquid behavior (NFL), manifestation of topologically protected egde and/or surface states, etc. All…
A significant improvement in quality of life of mankind in recent times has been achieved through the development of new materials in various areas of science. The unimaginable technological advances of recent decades has allowed engineering to improve the preparation and characterization of new nanostructured and massive materials, with the concomitant production of new electronic, magne…
This project aims to expand the capacity of the research team I lead, the Quantum Materials Group (GMQ), to include the preparation of singlecrystalline samples of intermetallic systems involving air- or moisture-sensitive reagents (K, Ba, Sr, La, Ce, I, etc.), and measuring the anisotropy of their electronic, magnetic and thermal properties, allowing us to operate at the forefront of the…

Thermoelectric (TE) materials are basically those capable of transforming waste heat into useful electric energy through the Seebeck effect, or reversing heat flow by applying a voltage through the Peltier effect. The efficiency of heatelectricity conversion is quantified by the nondimensional TE figure of merit ZT. Among several approaches that have been investigated towards increasing …
This project aims to initiate the candidate in literature and relevant experimental techniques to implement the conduction of a new line of research in our research group, involving the study of thermoelectricity and emerging electronic states recently revealed in MoX2, WX2 and similar binary semimetallic chalcogenides (X = S, Se, Te). The main focus of the student will be on the preparat…
This project proposes the growth of single crystals of novel type-I intermetallic clathrates by the self-fluz technique, especially in families based on germanium (Ge46) containing mixed acceptors (e.g. Ba8GaxAuyGe46-x-y) and also the introduction of trivalent rare earth ions as guests (e.g. Ba6La2Ga12Au2Ge32). We will investigate the structural, thermodynamic and transport properties of …
We propose to characterize novel single crystals of germanium-based clathrates with respect to their thermoelectric properties. We have synthesized several sets of such samples, which have the general formulae Ba8GayMzGe46-y-z (M = Au, Ag, Cu) and Ba8-xRxGayAgzGe46-y-z (R = La, Ce, Eu). The inclusion of rare earth elements is expected to improve their thermoelectric conversion efficiency,…
