The heavy fermion intermetallic compound URu₂Si₂ continues to attract attention owing mainly to the occurrence of an unknown ordered state at T₀ ~ 17.5 K that is referred to as "hidden order" (HO). HO remains enigmatic, despite more than...
This dissertation details the use of 93Nb (γ = 10.405 MHz/T, I = 9/2) and 77Se (γ = 8.13 MHz/T, I = 1/2) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to investigate the phase transitions of the layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) niobium...
High temperature superconductors (HTS) allow for the construction of magnets generating fields of more than 30 T, enabling the investigation of new phenomena in condensed matter science and high energy physics. High field magnets store...
This dissertation explores several aspects of microwave spectroscopy of two-dimensional electron systems (2DES), motivated by the microwave signatures of Wigner crystal phases that can exist in these systems. The spectroscopy is carried...
Doubly-connected superconducting loops are a class of superconducting devices of longstandinginterest in fundamental physics and practical applications. They have been studied since early 1960s and have received intensive recent interest...
Studying of relativistic particles in the condensed matter system became possible after a discovery of graphene in 2004. What follows from graphene was search for other materials hosting relativistic particles, such as Dirac semimetals...
High field magnets are integral to the success of various significant scientific and technological endeavors such as materials characterization, high energy physics, and plasma fusion generators. Superconductors are integral to building...
High-purity niobium is the material of choice for making superconducting radio-frequency cavities for the modern particle accelerator. While making the cavities from the Nb sheet, it goes through a series of processes including chemical...
In transition metal oxides, such as A2B2O7, the B-site cations typically govern many of the fundamentally and technologically interesting properties. The cubic pyrochlore oxides, A2B2O7, have attracted much attention over the past 20...
At low temperature (T) and weak magnetic field (B), two dimensional electron systems (2DES) can exhibit strong 1/B-periodic resistance oscillations on application of sufficiently strong microwave radiation. These oscillations are known...
