Abstract
Dy3+ doped SrLaGaO4 exhibits unusually slow relaxation of magnetization determined by two widely separated excited Kramers doublets with a second remagnetization energy barrier of 223 cm-1. This value considerably exceeds that for analogous Ca(Y,Dy)AlO4 in spite of the apparently enlarged Dy3+ coordination sphere.

Abstract
[V2(HCyclal)2] is prepared by controlled oxidation of vanadium nanoparticles at 50 °C in toluene. The V(0) nanoparticles are synthesized in THF by reduction of VCl3 with lithium naphthalenide. They exhibit very small particle sizes of 1.2 ± 0.2 nm and a high reactivity (e.g. with air or water). By reaction of V(0) nanoparticles with the azacrown ether H4Cyclal, [V2(HCyclal)2] is obtained with deep green crystals and high yield. The title compound exhibits a V(III) dimer (V⋯V: 304.1(1) pm) with two deprotonated [HCyclal]3- ligands as anions. V(0) nanoparticles as well as the sole coordination of V(III) by a crown ether as the ligand and nitrogen as sole coordinating atom are shown for the first time. Magnetic measurements and computational results point to antiferromagnetic coupling within the V(III) couple, establishing an antiferromagnetic spin S = 1 dimer with the magnetic susceptibility determined by the thermal population of the total spin ranging from ST = 0 to ST = 2.

Abstract
Polycrystalline samples of the magnesium-rich intermetallic compounds RECuMg4 (RE = Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) were synthesized by reaction of the elements in sealed tantalum ampoules heated in a high-frequency induction furnace. Phase purity of the RECuMg4 phases was ascertained by powder X-ray diffraction patterns. Well-shaped single crystals of HoCuMg4 could be grown in a NaCl/KCl salt flux and the crystal structure was refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data: TbCuMg4 structure-type, space group Cmmm, a = 1361.4(2), b = 2039.3(4), c = 384.62(6) pm. The crystal structure of the RECuMg4 phases can be understood as a complex intergrowth variant of CsCl and AlB2 related slabs. The remarkable crystal chemical motif concerns the orthorhombically distorted bcc-like magnesium cubes with Mg-Mg distances ranging from 306 to 334 pm. At high temperatures DyCuMg4 and ErCuMg4 are Curie-Weiss paramagnets with paramagnetic Curie-Weiss temperatures of -15 K and -2 K for RE = Dy and Er, respectively. The effective magnetic moments, 10.66μB for RE = Dy and 9.65μB for RE = Er prove stable trivalent ground states for the rare earth cations. Magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity measurements reveal long-range antiferromagnetic ordering at low temperatures (<21 K). Whereas DyCuMg4 exhibits two subsequent antiferromagnetic transitions at TN = 21 and 7.9 K which successively remove half of the entropy of a doublet crystal field ground state of Dy, ErCuMg4 shows a single, possibly broadened, antiferromagnetic transition at 8.6 K. The successive antiferromagnetic transitions are discussed with respect to magnetic frustration in the tetrameric units present in the crystal structure.

Abstract
The two new ternary amalgams K1-xRbxHg11 [x = 0.472(7)] and Cs3-xCaxHg20 [x = 0.20(3)] represent two different examples of how to create ternary compounds from binaries by statistical atom substitution. K1-xRbxHg11 is a Vegard-type mixed crystal of the isostructural binaries KHg11 and RbHg11 [cubic, BaHg11 structure type, space group Pm3̅m, a = 9.69143(3) Å, Rietveld refinement], whereas Cs3-xCaxHg20 is a substitution variant of the Rb3Hg20 structure type [cubic, space group Pm3̅n, a = 10.89553(14) Å, Rietveld refinement] for which a fully substituted isostructural binary Ca phase is unknown. In K1-xRbxHg11, the valence electron concentration (VEC) is not changed by the substitution, whereas in Cs3-xCaxHg20, the VEC increases with the Ca content. Amalgams of electropositive metals form polar metal bonds and show "bad metal" properties. By thermal analysis, magnetic susceptibility and resistivity measurements, and density functional theory calculations of the electronic structures, we investigate the effect of the structural disorder introduced by creating mixed-atom occupation on the physical properties of the two new polar amalgam systems.

Abstract
We examined what interactions control the sign and strength of the interlayer coupling in van der Waals ferromagnets such as Fe3-xGeTe2, Cr2Ge2Te6, CrI3, and VI3 to find that high-spin orbital interactions across the van der Waals gaps are a key to understanding their ferromagnetism. Interlayer ferromagnetic coupling in Fe3-xGeTe2, Cr2Ge2Te6, and CrI3 is governed by the high-spin two-orbital two-electron destabilization, but that in VI3 by the high-spin four-orbital two-electron stabilization. These interactions explain a number of seemingly puzzling observations in van der Waals ferromagnets.

Abstract
(Ba,K)BiO3 constitute an interesting class of superconductors, where the remarkably high superconducting transition temperature Tc of 30 K arises in proximity to charge density wave order. However, the precise mechanism behind these phases remains unclear. Here, enabled by high-pressure synthesis, we report superconductivity in (Ba,K)SbO3 with a positive oxygen-metal charge transfer energy in contrast to (Ba,K)BiO3. The parent compound BaSbO3-δ shows a larger charge density wave gap compared to BaBiO3. As the charge density wave order is suppressed via potassium substitution up to 65%, superconductivity emerges, rising up to Tc = 15 K. This value is lower than the maximum Tc of (Ba,K)BiO3, but higher by more than a factor of two at comparable potassium concentrations. The discovery of an enhanced charge density wave gap and superconductivity in (Ba,K)SbO3 indicates that strong oxygen-metal covalency may be more essential than the sign of the charge transfer energy in the main-group perovskite superconductors.

Abstract
Two rare earth oxysulfides Ln
5V3O7S6 (Ln = La, Ce) have been synthesized and their structures determined. The two isostructural compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pmmn (no. 59). The structure features one-dimensional edge-sharing VS4O2 octahedron chains parallel to the b axis. The bonding between V and S/O is covalent, and between Ln
3+ and the rest of the matrix ionic. Magnetic susceptibility measurement revealed that V is in a mixed valence state of V3+ and V4+. Its magnetic behavior follows the Curie-Weiss law.

Abstract
Nanosized samples of the cubic thiospinel FeCr2S4 were synthesized by ball milling of FeS and Cr2S3 precursors followed by a distinct temperature treatment between 500 and 800 °C. Depending on the applied temperature, volume weighted mean (L vol) particle sizes of 56 nm (500 °C), 86 nm (600 °C), and 123 nm (800 °C) were obtained. All samples show a transition into the ferrimagnetic state at a Curie temperature T C of ∼ 167 K only slightly depending on the annealing temperature. Above T C, ferromagnetic spin clusters survive and Curie-Weiss behavior is observed only at T ≫ T C, with T depending on the heat treatments and the external magnetic field applied. Zero-field-cooled and field-cooled magnetic susceptibilities diverge significantly below T C in contrast to what is observed for conventionally solid-state-prepared polycrystalline samples. In the low-temperature region, all samples show a transition into the orbital ordered state at about 9 K, which is more pronounced for the samples heated to higher temperatures. This observation is a clear indication that the cation disorder is very low because a pronounced disorder would suppress this magnetic transition. The unusual magnetic properties of the samples at low temperatures and different external magnetic fields can be clearly related to different factors like structural microstrain and magnetocrystalline anisotropy.

Abstract
A series of new ternary isostructural R4Co2C3 (R = Y, Gd, Tb) carbides was synthesized by annealing of arc-melted stoichiometric samples. The crystal structure of Tb4Co2C3 [space group P2/m, Pearson symbol mP18, a = 12.754(2) Å, b = 3.6251(4) Å, c = 7.0731(9) Å, β = 105.601(6)°] was solved by direct methods from neutron powder diffraction data collected at 100 K. The room temperature unit cell parameters of the new phases were determined by X-ray powder diffraction technique. The crystal structure of Tb4Co2C3 is characterized as an intergrowth structure resulting from the stacking of alternating TbCoC (YCoC-type) and Tb2C (anti-CdCl2 type) fragments with a 2 : 1 ratio. Tb4Co2C3 orders ferromagnetically at TC = 35(1) K, whereas the isostructural Gd4Co2C3 reveals two magnetic transitions at TC1 = 82(3) K and TC2 = 13(2) K. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that the magnetic moments of the R4Co2C3 (R = Gd, Tb) carbides are exclusively due to the rare-earth elements. Y4Co2C3 is shown to be a Pauli-paramagnet by experimental and theoretical studies.

Abstract
Tb-diluted and Tb-rich apatite-type silicates with compositions Y7.75Tb0.25Ca2(SiO4)6O2 and Tb8Ca2(SiO4)6O2, respectively, exhibit field induced multiple slow relaxation of magnetization. The former reveals two slow relaxation paths, the latter only one with a longer relaxation time of several seconds. The relaxation features of the Tb-diluted one are comparable with those of analogue compounds, where Tb is replaced by Dy, as well as with those of a Tb-doped calcium phosphate apatite. The relaxation parameters of the Tb-rich compound virtually match those of the Dy-based analogue Dy8Ca2(SiO4)6O2. The latter represents the first instance of independence of magnetization relaxation on the nature of a paramagnetic rare-earth metal ion in single ion magnet like materials.

Abstract
In this review on spin exchanges, written to provide guidelines useful for finding the spin lattice relevant for any given magnetic solid, we discuss how the values of spin exchanges in transition metal magnetic compounds are quantitatively determined from electronic structure calculations, which electronic factors control whether a spin exchange is antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic, and how these factors are related to the geometrical parameters of the spin exchange path. In an extended solid containing transition metal magnetic ions, each metal ion M is surrounded with main-group ligands L to form an MLn polyhedron (typically, n = 3-6), and the unpaired spins of M are represented by the singly-occupied d-states (i.e., the magnetic orbitals) of MLn. Each magnetic orbital has the metal d-orbital combined out-of-phase with the ligand p-orbitals; therefore, the spin exchanges between adjacent metal ions M lead not only to the M-L-M-type exchanges, but also to the M-L…L-M-type exchanges in which the two metal ions do not share a common ligand. The latter can be further modified by d0 cations A such as V5+ and W6+ to bridge the L…L contact generating M-L…A…L-M-type exchanges. We describe several qualitative rules for predicting whether the M-L…L-M and M-L…A…L-M-type exchanges are antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic by analyzing how the ligand p-orbitals in their magnetic orbitals (the ligand p-orbital tails, for short) are arranged in the exchange paths. Finally, we illustrate how these rules work by analyzing the crystal structures and magnetic properties of four cuprates of current interest: -CuV2O6, LiCuVO4, (CuCl)LaNb2O7, and Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2.

Abstract
Neutron diffraction studies on magnetic solids composed of axially elongated CoO4X2 (X = Cl, Br, S, Se) octahedra show that the ordered magnetic moments of their high-spin Co2+ (d7, S = 3/2) ions are greater than 3 μB, i.e., the spin moment expected for S = 3/2 ions, and increase almost linearly from 3.22 to 4.45 μB as the bond-length ratio rCo-X/rCo-O increases from 1.347 to 1.659 where rCo-X and rCo-O are the Co-X and Co-O bond lengths, respectively. These observations imply that the orbital moments of the Co2+ ions increase linearly from 0.22 to 1.45 μB with increasing the rCo-X/rCo-O ratio from 1.347 to 1.659. We probed this implication by examining the condition for unquenched orbital moment and also by evaluating the magnetic moments of the Co2+ ions based on DFT+U+SOC calculations for those systems of the CoO4X2 octahedra. Our work shows that the orbital moments of the Co2+ ions are essentially quenched and, hence, that the observations of the neutron diffraction studies are not explained by the current theory of magnetic moments. This discrepancy between experiment and theory urges one to check the foundations of the current theory of magnetic moments as well as the current method of neutron diffraction refinements for ordered magnetic structures.

Abstract
Intermolecular hydrogen bonds impede long-range (anti-)ferroelectric order of water. We confine H2O molecules in nanosized cages formed by ions of a dielectric crystal. Arranging them in channels at a distance of ~5 Å with an interchannel separation of ~10 Å prevents the formation of hydrogen networks while electric dipole-dipole interactions remain effective. Here, we present measurements of the temperature-dependent dielectric permittivity, pyrocurrent, electric polarization and specific heat that indicate an order-disorder ferroelectric phase transition at T0 ≈ 3 K in the water dipolar lattice. Ab initio molecular dynamics and classical Monte Carlo simulations reveal that at low temperatures the water molecules form ferroelectric domains in the ab-plane that order antiferroelectrically along the channel direction. This way we achieve the long-standing goal of arranging water molecules in polar order. This is not only of high relevance in various natural systems but might open an avenue towards future applications in biocompatible nanoelectronics. Despite the apparent simplicity of a H2O molecule, the mutual ferroelectric ordering of the molecules is unresolved. Here, the authors realize a macroscopic ferroelectric phase transition in a network of dipole-dipole coupled water molecules located in nanopores of gemstone.

Abstract
Apatite-type silicates Y7.75Dy0.25Ca2(SiO4)6O2 and Dy8Ca2(SiO4)6O2 were prepared by high-temperature solid state synthesis. In the crystal lattice, Dy3+ partially substitutes Ca2+, preferably at the 6h Ca2-site, and forms a short bond of 2.2 Å with the intra-channel O2-. The imposed strong ligand field anisotropy provides large magnetic anisotropy, which manifests itself as slow relaxation of magnetization at low temperatures. The magnetic dynamics is characterized by three or two characteristic values of relaxation time, respectively, which may be attributed to a single Dy3+ center. A phenomenological model is proposed which explains this response in terms of single paramagnetic center multiple relaxation.

Abstract
Dy–Mg silicate Dy8Mg2(SiO4)6O2 has been prepared by high-temperature solid state reaction. It has an apatite type structure (P63/m) with the Dy atoms fully occupying the 6h site and being in random distribution with the Mg atoms at the 4f site. The compound reveals dual magnetization relaxation with widely varying contributions from fast (FR) and slow (SR) relaxation paths controlled by field and temperature. The SR path is stabilized by a strong magnetic field, exhibits a weak dependence of relaxation time τ on field and temperature, and sustains large τ of a few seconds up to a temperature of 40 K and under a field of 50 kOe. The analysis of the electronic structure and comparison with the known Dy-doped phosphate apatites suggests that the Orbach and Raman processes are suppressed. The compound reveals dual magnetization relaxation with largely varying contributions from fast and slow relaxation paths controlled by field and temperature. The relaxation times retain values of a few seconds up to 40 K.![]()

Abstract
Abstract
Polycrystalline samples of La- and Lu-agardite with the composition RECu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · n H2O (RE = La, Lu; n≈3) have been prepared and the structure of the products was determined by X-ray powder diffraction studies. The characterization has been complemented by Raman and UV/Vis spectroscopic, magnetic and TGA investigations. DFT calculations support the conclusions drawn from the experiments. The arsenates RECu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · n H2O (RE = La, Lu; n≈3) are isostructural with the mineral mixite and crystallize with a hexagonal structure which contains ribbons of edge-sharing [CuO5] square-pyramids extending along the hexagonal axis. They are interconnected via (AsO4)3− groups to form hexagonal tubes of about 10 Å inner diameter. Such zeolite-like tubes host water molecules, which can be reversibly removed at moderate temperatures (T≈100°C). Like in mixite and YCu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · 3 H2O, the Cu2+ cations in RECu6(OH)6(AsO4)3 · n H2O (RE = La, Lu; n≈3) exhibit low-dimensional antiferromagnetic properties, which are subject to changes in the Cu–O–Cu bond lengths and angles due to the lanthanide contraction.

Abstract
We discovered superconductivity at 4.8 K in the hexagonal layered compound La2IRu2 comprising a triangular lattice of the La and a honeycomb lattice of the Ru atoms. First-principles calculations reveal a two-dimensional band structure made up of La 5d and Ru 4d electrons and formal oxidation states +1.5 for the La and the uncommon oxidation state -1 for the Ru atoms. The temperature dependence of the specific heat indicates fully gapped superconductivity. Nevertheless, the upper critical field of this compound violates the Pauli limit. We argue that the high upper critical field is ascribed to an antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling in the unique multilayer structure.

Abstract
The new quaternary iodate KCu(IO3)3 has been prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. KCu(IO3)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with unit cell parameters a = 9.8143(4) Å, b = 8.2265(4) Å, c = 10.8584(5) Å, β = 91.077(2)°, and z = 4. The crystals are light blue and translucent. There are three main building units making up the crystal structure: [KO10] irregular polyhedra, [CuO6] distorted octahedra, and [IO3] trigonal pyramids. The Jahn-Teller elongated [CuO6] octahedra connect to each other via corner sharing to form [CuO5]∞ zigzag chains along [010]; the other building blocks separate these chains. The Raman modes can be divided into four groups; the lower two groups into mainly lattice modes involving K and Cu displacements and the upper two groups into mainly bending and stretching modes of [IO3E], where E represents a lone pair of electron. At low temperatures, the magnetic susceptibility is characterized by a broad maximum centered at ∼5.4 K, characteristic for antiferromagnetic short-range ordering. Long-range magnetic ordering at T C = 1.32 K is clearly evidenced by a sharp anomaly in the heat capacity. The magnetic susceptibility can be very well described by a spin S = 1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with a nearest-neighbor spin exchange of ∼8.9 K.

Abstract
Tb for Ca substituted hydroxyapatite ceramic samples with composition Ca10-xTbx(PO4)6(OH1-x/2-δ)2, where x = 0.1, 0.5, were synthesized by solid-state reaction at 1300 °C in air, and their crystal structure, vibrational spectra, luminescence, and magnetic properties were studied. Implanting Tb3+ into the calcium apatite crystal lattice results in formation of an effective TbO+ ion which displays a short terbium-oxygen bond of 2.15 Å and a stretching vibration at 534 cm-1. The Tb3+ electronic structure has been revealed by analyzing the luminescence spectra and dc/ac magnetization data. Accordingly, the ground state represents a pseudo doublet with MJ = ±6 and the first exited level is by 112 cm-1 higher in energy. The ion exhibits field induced magnetic bistability with the magnetization reversing over the first exited state. Three paths of magnetization relaxation with field-temperature controlled switching between the paths have been identified.

Abstract
The mineral linarite, PbCuSO_{4}(OH)_{2}, is a spin-1/2 chain with frustrating nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic and next-nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic exchange interactions. Our inelastic neutron scattering experiments performed above the saturation field establish that the ratio between these exchanges is such that linarite is extremely close to the quantum critical point between spin-multipolar phases and the ferromagnetic state. We show that the predicted quantum multipolar phases are fragile and actually suppressed by a tiny orthorhombic exchange anisotropy and weak interchain interactions in favor of a dipolar fan phase. Including this anisotropy in classical simulations of a nearly critical model explains the field-dependent phase sequence of the phase diagram of linarite, its strong dependence of the magnetic field direction, and the measured variations of the wave vector as well as the staggered and the uniform magnetizations in an applied field.

Abstract
Recent interest in topological semimetals has led to the proposal of many new topological phases that can be realized in real materials. Next to Dirac and Weyl systems, these include more exotic phases based on manifold band degeneracies in the bulk electronic structure. The exotic states in topological semimetals are usually protected by some sort of crystal symmetry, and the introduction of magnetic order can influence these states by breaking time-reversal symmetry. We show that we can realize a rich variety of different topological semimetal states in a single material, CeSbTe. This compound can exhibit different types of magnetic order that can be accessed easily by applying a small field. Therefore, it allows for tuning the electronic structure and can drive it through a manifold of topologically distinct phases, such as the first nonsymmorphic magnetic topological phase with an eightfold band crossing at a high-symmetry point. Our experimental results are backed by a full magnetic group theory analysis and ab initio calculations. This discovery introduces a realistic and promising platform for studying the interplay of magnetism and topology. We also show that we can generally expand the numbers of space groups that allow for high-order band degeneracies by introducing antiferromagnetic order.

Abstract
Abstract
Results of combined synchrotron X-ray diffraction and pair distribution function experiments performed on the layered compound CrTe3 provide evidence for a short range structural distortion of one of the two crystallographically independent CrTe6 octahedra. The distortion is caused by higher mobility of one crystallographically distinct Te ion, leading to an unusual large Debye Waller factor. In situ high temperature X-ray diffraction investigations show an initial crystallization of a minor amount of elemental Te followed by decomposition of CrTe3 into Cr5Te8 and Te. Additional experiments provide evidence that the Te impurity (<1%) cannot be avoided. Analyses of structural changes in the temperature range 100–754 K show a pronounced anisotropic expansion of the lattice parameters. The differing behavior of the crystal axes is explained on the basis of structural distortions of the Cr4Te16 structural building units. An abrupt distortion of the structure occurs at T≈250 K, which then remains nearly constant down to 100 K. The structural distortion affects the spin exchange interactions between Cr3+ cations. A significant splitting between field-cooled (fc) and zero-field-cooled (zfc) magnetic susceptibility is observed below about 200 K. Applying a small external magnetic field results in a substantial spontaneous magnetization, reminiscent of ferro- or ferrimagnet exchange interactions below ~240 K. A Debye temperature of ~150 K was extracted from heat capacity measurements.

Abstract
Known synthesis approaches for basic copper(ii) acetates, the main components of historic verdrigis pigments were reinvestigated and revealed to be partially irreproducible. A modification of the reaction conditions led to the successful and reproducible synthesis of the 1-2-0 phase (Cu3(CH3COO)2(OH)4 = 1Cu(CH3COO)2·2Cu(OH)2·0H2O). The phase composition was derived from elemental and thermal analysis and confirmed by the crystal structure solution using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) data. The 1-2-0 phase crystallises in space group Pbca with lattice parameters of a = 20.9742(1) Å, b = 7.2076(1) Å, and c = 13.1220(1) Å. The crystal structure consists of Cu2(CH3-COO)2(OH)4/3(OH)2/21/3- dimers, which are interconnected by corner sharing Cu(OH)2/3(OH)2/21/3+ squares forming layers perpendicular to the a-axis. The deep blue color of the solid originates from a reflectance maximum at 472 nm and from an absorbance maximum at 676 nm that is comparable with other historic blue pigments like azurite or Egyptian blue. IR- and Raman-spectroscopic properties of the solid were investigated as well, which demonstrated that the obtained product is identical with a previously synthesised verdigris phase that was obtained by applying historical procedures. Therefore, our reference data for the title compound will help to improve the understanding of the multiphase mixtures occurring in historic verdigris samples. The magnetic properties of the 1-2-0 phase were also investigated. At low temperatures the magnetic susceptibility is well described by a spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with uniform antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbour spin exchange coupling of only one of three Cu magnetic moments. Due to the very strong antiferromagnetic coupling of the Cu2(CH3-COO)2(OH)4/3(OH)2/21/3- dimers their contribution to magnetism becomes relevant above ∼140 K, which results in the presence of two distinct temperature regions where Curie-Weiss behaviour of the magnetic susceptibility with different Curie constants and Weiss temperatures is found.

Abstract
We report a ^{51}V nuclear magnetic resonance investigation of the frustrated spin-1/2 chain compound LiCuVO_{4}, performed in pulsed magnetic fields and focused on high-field phases up to 56 T. For the crystal orientations H∥c and H∥b, we find a narrow field region just below the magnetic saturation where the local magnetization remains uniform and homogeneous, while its value is field dependent. This behavior is the first microscopic signature of the spin-nematic state, breaking spin-rotation symmetry without generating any transverse dipolar order, and is consistent with theoretical predictions for the LiCuVO_{4} compound.

Abstract
We prepared trirutile-type polycrystalline samples of CuTa2O6 by low-temperature decomposition of a Cu-Ta-oxalate precursor. Diffraction studies at room temperature identified a slight monoclinic distortion of the hitherto surmised tetragonal trirutile crystal structure. Detailed high-temperature X-ray and neutron powder diffraction investigations as well as Raman scattering spectroscopy revealed a structural phase transition at 503(3) K from the monoclinic structure to the tetragonal trirutile structure. GGA+U density functional calculations of the spin-exchange parameters as well as magnetic susceptibility and isothermal magnetization measurements reveal that CuTa2O6 is a new 1D Heisenberg magnet with predominant anti-ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor intrachain spin-exchange interaction of ∼50 K. Interchain exchange is a factor of ∼5 smaller. Heat capacity and low-temperature high-intensity neutron powder diffraction studies could not detect long-range order down to 0.45 K.

Abstract
The new quaternary layered oxide CoMo2Sb2O10 was synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis techniques, and its structure was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. CoMo2Sb2O10 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with one Sb3+, Mo6+, and Co2+ atom site per unit cell, respectively. The crystal structure contains building units consisting of [Co2O8]n, [Mo2O8]n, and [SbO2]n chains. These are connected through corner sharing to form charge-neutral [CoMo2Sb2O10]n layers. Thermal decomposition of CoMo2Sb2O10 starts at 550 °C. The magnetic susceptibility follows a Curie-Weiss law above 50 K with a Curie constant of C = 3.46 emu·K·mol-1 corresponding to an effective moment of μeff = 5.26 μB per cobalt atom and a Curie-Weiss temperature θ = -13.2 K. Short-range anti-ferromagnetic ordering dominates below 5 K. Magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity data can be successfully modeled by the predictions from an Ising linear chain with an intrachain spin exchange of ca. -7.8 K.

Abstract
Titanium(III) phosphate, TiPO4 , is a typical example of an oxyphosphorus compound containing covalent P-O bonds. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of TiPO4 reveal complex and unexpected structural and chemical behavior as a function of pressure at room temperature. A series of phase transitions lead to the high-pressure phase V, which is stable above 46 GPa and features an unusual oxygen coordination of the phosphorus atoms. TiPO4 -V is the first inorganic phosphorus-containing compound that exhibits fivefold coordination with oxygen. Up to the highest studied pressure of 56 GPa, TiPO4 -V coexists with TiPO4 -IV, which is less dense and might be kinetically stabilized. Above a pressure of about 6 GPa, TiPO4 -II is found to be an incommensurately modulated phase whereas a lock-in transition at about 7 GPa leads to TiPO4 -III with a fourfold superstructure compared to the structure of TiPO4 -I at ambient conditions. TiPO4 -II and TiPO4 -III are similar to the corresponding low-temperature incommensurate and commensurate magnetic phases and reflect the strong pressure dependence of the spin-Peierls interactions.

Abstract
The electronic structures of the 10 K layered yttrium carbide halide superconductor Y2C2I2 is characterized by bands of low dispersion and narrow peak-valley features in the electronic density of states at the Fermi level. In order to investigate to what extent the superconducting properties can be modified by external pressure we have studied the pressure dependence of the superconducting critical temperature and the crystal structure of Y2C2I2 to pressures of 7.4 GPa. Up to ~2.5 GPa we observe an increase of T c from 10 K to about 12 K. A structural phase transition from a 1s to a 3s stacking variant occurs at about 2.5 GPa above which T c rapidly decreases to a value of ~7.5 K at 7.5 GPa. Density functional calculations corroborate the structural phase transition to occur at a critical cell volume of ~270 Å(3) corresponding to a pressure of ~2.4 GPa, in good agreement with the experimental findings. The pressure dependence of T c and inter-atomic distances and angles are discussed with respect to the results of density functional calculations of the electronic and crystal structure.

Abstract
Five new compounds in the Cu/P/Se phase diagram have been synthesized, and their crystal structures have been determined. The crystal structures of these compounds comprise four previously unreported zero-, one-, and two-dimensional selenidophosphate anions containing low-valent phosphorus. In addition to two new modifications of Cu4P2Se6 featuring the well-known hexaselenidohypodiphosphate(IV) ion, there are three copper selenidophosphates with low-valent P: Cu4P3Se4 contains two different new anions, (i) a monomeric (zero-dimensional) selenidophosphate anion [P2Se4](4-) and (ii) a one-dimensional selenidophosphate anion [Formula: see text], which is related to the well-known gray-Se-like [Formula: see text] Zintl anion. Cu4P4Se3 contains one-dimensional [Formula: see text] polyanions, whereas CuP2Se contains the 2D selenidophosphate [Formula: see text] polyanion. It consists of charge-neutral CuP2Se layers separated by a van der Waals gap which is very rare for a Zintl-type phase. Hence, besides black P, CuP2Se constitutes a new possible source of 2D oxidized phosphorus containing layers for intercalation or exfoliation experiments. Additionally, the electronic structures and some fundamental physical properties of the new compounds are reported. All compounds are semiconducting with indirect band gaps of the orders of around 1 eV. The phases reported here add to the structural diversity of chalcogenido phosphates. The structural variety of this family of compounds may translate into a variety of tunable physical properties.

Abstract
Iron-based compounds (IBS) display a surprising variety of superconducting properties that seems to arise from the strong sensitivity of these systems to tiny details of the lattice structure. In this respect, systems that become superconducting under pressure, like CaFe2As2, are of particular interest. Here we report on the first directional point-contact Andreev-reflection spectroscopy (PCARS) measurements on CaFe2As2 crystals under quasi-hydrostatic pressure, and on the interpretation of the results using a 3D model for Andreev reflection combined with ab-initio calculations of the Fermi surface (within the density functional theory) and of the order parameter symmetry (within a random-phase-approximation approach in a ten-orbital model). The almost perfect agreement between PCARS results at different pressures and theoretical predictions highlights the intimate connection between the changes in the lattice structure, a topological transition in the holelike Fermi surface sheet, and the emergence on the same sheet of an order parameter with a horizontal node line.
