Outline of Final Research Achievements

I have investigated topological electronic properties in frustrated pyrochlore oxides.
In the pyrochlore iridium oxide Pr2Ir2O7, I found spin-ice-like magnetic order and giant anomalous Hall effect. I also found a giant thermoelectric response in (Nd,Pr)2Ir2O7 in the vicinity of the metal-insulator transition. We discuss the relationship between the observed transport properties and the possible emergence of topological semimetallic states.
We succeeded in growing single crystals of Ca-doped pyrochlore molybdenum oxide Tb2Mo2O7. A filling-controlled metal-insulator transition was observed and the geometric Hall effect in the paramagnetic metallic state was investigated.
