Abstract Exotic quantum states arise from the interplay of various degrees freedom such as charge, spin, orbital, and lattice. Recently, a short-ranged charge order (CO) was discovered deep inside antiferromagnetic phase Kagome magnet FeGe, exhibiting close relationships with magnetism. Despite extensive investigations, CO mechanism remains controversial, mainly because behavior hinders precise identification superstructure. Here, combining multiple experimental techniques, we report...

In all three compounds, the development short-range charge fluctuations above density wave (CDW) transition temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{CDW}}$ strongly scatters phonons via electron-phonon coupling, leading to glasslike phonon transport, i.e., conductivity decreases weakly upon cooling. Once long-range order sets in below...

Abstract We report a large negative magnetoresistance in Manganese-substituted Zinc Oxide thin films. This anomalous effect was found to appear oxygen-deficient films and increase with the concentration of Manganese. By combining magnetoresistive measurements magneto-photoluminescence, we demonstrate that can be explained as result magnetically induced transition from hopping band conduction where activation energy is caused by sp-d exchange interaction.
Room temperature ferromagnetism (FM) of these thin film samples are highly tuneable by the simultaneous presence CuO nanophases and multivalent Cu Vö concentrations.
