Superconductivity under pressure was recently discovered in two transition metal pnictides belonging to the Pnma space group, namely CrAs [1, 2] and MnP [3], in the vicinity of a magnetic phase, respectively at the ...

In this thesis, after introducing some theoretical aspects of Mott insulators, pure single crystals of the Mott insulator Ca2RuO4 was investigated from an experimental point of view. The surprisingly low current density ...

Transition Metal Oxides (TMOs) show a wealth of intriguing properties which are governed by the interplay of charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom. Moreover, the comprehension of the features of strongly correlated TMOs ...
