We have observed the spatial inhomogeneity of the electronic structure of a single-crystalline electron-doped EuO thin film with ferromagnetic ordering by employing infrared magneto-optical imaging with synchrotron radiation. The uniform paramagnetic electronic structure changes to a uniform ferromagnetic structure via an inhomogeneous state with decreasing temperature and increasing magnetic field slightly above the ordering temperature. One possibility of the origin of the inhomogeneity is the appearance of magnetic polaron states.

The magnetic inhomogeneity of the A-phase in MnSi chiral magnet is identified for the first time from the precise measurements of transverse magnetoresistance (MR) anisotropy. The area inside the A-phase (A-phase core) corresponds to isotropic MR having no confinement to the MnSi crystal lattice. Per contra, the MR becomes anisotropic both on the border of the A-phase and in other magnetic phases, the strongest magnetic scattering being observed when external magnetic field applied along [001] or [00-1] directions. We argue here that the established MR features prove the presence of two different types of the skyrmion lattices inside the A-phase, and the dense skyrmion state of the A-phase core is built from individual skyrmions similar to Abrikosov-type magnetic vortexes.
We formulate a complete microscopic theory of a coupled pair of bound magnetic polarons, the bound-magnetic-polaron molecule (BMPM) in a diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) by taking into account both a proper two-body nature of the impurity-electron wave function and within the general spin-rotation-invariant approach to the electronic states. We also take into account both the Heisenberg and the antiferromagnetic kinetic-exchange interactions, as well as the ferromagnetic coupling within the common spin BMPM cloud. The thermodynamic fluctuations of the spin cloud within the polaron effective Bohr radius of each polaron are taken as Gaussian.
The influence of the homogeneous magnetic field on a single mobile hole in a magnetic insulator, as represented by the two-dimensional t-J model, is investigated by considering the coupling of the field to the orbital current. The energy of the J=0 system is analysed via the high-temperature expansion and the small system diagonalization. The susceptibility is shown to be diamagnetic and diverging at low temperatures T. In contrast, in the antiferrmagnetic J>0 case small systems generically reveal a tendency towards a paramagnetic response in larger fields at low T. By employing at T=0 the cumulant expansion we study the ground state in arbitrary B, showing a behavior very sensitive to the character of the quasiparticle dispersion and the magnetic-field strength. At low B the perturbation and small-systems results are consistent with a pronounced diamagnetic susceptibility at T->0, but indicate on a suppressed contribution at intermediate T~J.
Copper carbodiimide, CuNCN, is a geometrically frustrated nitrogen-based analogue of cupric oxide, whose magnetism remains ambiguous. Here, we employ a combination of local-probe techniques, including $^{63,, 65}$Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance, $^{13}$C nuclear magnetic resonance and muon spin rotation to show that the magnetic ground state of the Cu$^{2+}$ ($S=1/2$) spins is frozen and disordered. Moreover, these complementary experiments unequivocally establish an onset of intrinsically inhomogeneous magnetic state at $T_h=80$ K. Below $T_h$, the low-temperature frozen component coexist with the remnant high-temperature dynamical component down to $T_l = 20$ K, where the latter finally ceases to exist. Based on a scaling of internal magnetic fields of both components we conclude that the two components coexist on a microscopic level.
Epitaxial La3/4Ca1/4MnO3/MgO(100) (LCMO) thin films show unusual rhombohedral (R-3c) structure with a new perovskite superstructure due to unique ordering of La and Ca at the A-site positions. Very sharp insulator-metal and para-ferromagnetic phase transitions at temperatures up to TMI ~ TC=295 K were observed. The ordered films were electronically homogeneous down to 1 nm scale as revealed by scanning tunnelling microscopy/spectroscopy. In contrast, orthorhombic and A-site disordered LCMO demonstrate broadened phase transitions as well as mesoscopic phase separation for T<<TC. The unique La/Ca ordering suppresses cation mismatch stress within one super-cell, a~1.55 nm, enhancing electronic homogeneity. Phase separation scenario seems not to be a unique mechanism for CMR as very large CMR=500 % was also observed in A-site ordered films.
