Monocrystalline chalcogenide spinels ZnCrSe are antiferromagnetic and semiconductor materials. They can be used to dope or alloy with related semiconducting spinels. Therefore, their Pb-doped display is expected to have unique properties and new potential applications.

Structural, electrical, magnetic, and specific heat measurements were carried out on ZnCrSe single crystal and on nanocrystals obtained from the milling of this single crystal after 1, 3, and 5 h, whose crystallite sizes were 25.2, 2.5, and 2 nm, respectively.

Epitaxial thin films of Fe doped SrTiO have been studied by the use of resonant photoemission. This technique allowed us to identify contributions of the Fe and Ti originating electronic states to the valence band. Two valence states of iron Fe and Fe, detected on the base of x-ray absorption studies spectra, appeared to form quite different contributions to the valence band of SrTiO.

In this paper we present experimental results obtained for CePdBi by means of specific heat, electrical resistivity, magnetization and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) measurements as well as fully relativistic band structure calculations. CePdBi crystallizes in MgAgAs structure and exhibits a transition to a magnetically ordered state at TM ~/= 2 K, and a subsequent transition to a superconducting state at TC ~/= 1.3 K.

We present investigations of the magnetic and electric transport properties, specific heat, and electronic structure of the intermetallic and strongly correlated system of CeRhSn(1-x)In(x) compounds. The main goal of this paper is to determine the hybridization energy between the f electron and conduction electron states, V(cf), and its influence on the ground state properties of the system. The complementary experimental data are discussed on the basis of the Anderson model for a periodic Kondo lattice.

We present a combined theoretical and experimental study of the electronic structure for CeRu(2)Al(10) based on ab initio band structure calculations and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) data. Our calculations were performed for the base unit cell and for the hypothetical unit cell which enables antiferromagnetic ordering. The stability of the magnetic phase was investigated within fixed spin moment calculations.

CeNiSn is known as a semimetallic system with a small pseudogap at the Fermi energy. We investigate the effect of Rh doping on the Kondo insulator CeNiSn by means of measurements of ac magnetic susceptibility and specific heat. We show that the formation of the Kondo insulator narrow gap in CeNi(1 - x)Rh(x)Sn is associated with disorder-induced f-electron localization.

The aim of this work is to investigate electronic structure, magnetic properties and electrical resistivity of Fe(2)V(1-x)Ti(x)Al Heusler alloys. Numerical calculations give a pseudogap at the Fermi level for the majority-spin band of Fe(2)TiAl and a magnetic moment larger than 0.9 μ(B), whereas the ground state of Fe(2)VAl is calculated as a nonmagnetic semimetal with a very low total density of states at the Fermi level.
