Magnetic high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with their unusual blend of long-range magnetic order and exceptional mechanical properties are beneficial for the development of next-generation spintronic devices that can withstand extreme conditions. Developing room-temperature magnetic HEAs and understanding the link among their magnetic, electronic, and mechanical properties are crucial. Here, we introduce nanocrystalline CoCrFeNiGa as a room-temperature bulk magnetic HEA candidate based on 3d-transition metals and elucidate its magnetic and electronic properties.

Superconducting crystals with a lack of inversion symmetry can potentially host unconventional pairing. However, till today, no direct conclusive experimental evidence of such unconventional order parameters in non-centrosymmetric superconductors has been reported. In this paper, through direct measurement of the superconducting energy gap by scanning tunnelling spectroscopy, we report the existence of both s-wave (singlet) and p-wave (triplet) pairing symmetries in non-centrosymmetric Ru[Formula: see text]B[Formula: see text].

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials have attracted a lot of attention owing to the stabilization of long range magnetic order down to atomic dimensions, and the prospect of novel spintronic devices with unique functionalities. The clarification of the magnetoresistive properties and its correlation to the underlying magnetic configurations is essential for 2D vdW-based spintronic devices. Here, the effect of Co-doping on the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of FeGeTe have been investigated.

The physical systems with ferromagnetism and 'bad' metallicity hosting unusual transport properties are playgrounds of novel quantum phenomena. Recently EuTi Nb O emerged as a ferromagnetic system where non-trivial temperature dependent transport properties are observed due to coexistence and competition of various magnetic and non-magnetic scattering processes. In the ferromagnetic state, the resistivity shows a T temperature dependence possibly due to electron-magnon scattering and above the Curie temperature [Formula: see text], the dependence changes to T behaviour indicating a correlation between transport and magnetic properties.

The type II Dirac semimetal PdTe[Formula: see text] is unique in the family of topological parent materials because it displays a superconducting ground state below 1.7 K. Despite wide speculation on the possibility of an unconventional topological superconducting phase, tunneling and heat capacity measurements revealed that the superconducting phase of PdTe[Formula: see text] follows predictions of the microscopic theory of Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer for conventional superconductors.

The surface states of topological insulators (TI) are protected by time reversal symmetry and they display intrinsic spin helicity where the momentum of the charge carriers decides their spin states. As a consequence, a current injected through the surface states becomes spin polarized and this transport spin-polarization leads to a proportionate suppression of Andreev reflection in superconductor/TI junctions. Here we show that upon doping BiSe with Mn, the transport spin-polarization is seen to be monotonically suppressed.
