The experimental study of the modulation of the envelope of spin-echo signals due to internal and external fields is an important spectroscopic tool to detect very small internal magnetic fields. We derive the free induction decay and the frequency spectrum and amplitude of spin-echo signals for arbitrary orientation of fields with respect to crystalline axis for nuclei in a crystal of orthorhombic symmetry. Results reproduce the results that no modulation should be observed in tetragonal crystals for fields either along the c-axis or any direction in the basal plane and give details of the signal as a function of the orthorhombicity parameter. They are used to discuss recent experimental results and provide guidelines for future experiments.

Ferromagnetism and superconductivity are generally considered to be antagonistic phenomena in condensed matter physics. Here, we theoretically study the interplay between the ferromagnetic and superconducting orders in a recent discovered monolayered CoSb superconductor with an orthorhombic symmetry and net magnetization, and demonstrate the pairing symmetry of CoSb as a candidate of non-unitary superconductor with time-reversal symmetry breaking. By performing the group theory analysis and the first-principles calculations, the superconducting order parameter is suggested to be a triplet pairing with the irreducible representation of $^3B_{2u}$, which displays intriguing nodal points and non-zero periodic modulation of Cooper pair spin polarization on the Fermi surface topologies. These findings not only provide a significant theoretical insight into the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism, but also reveal the exotic spin polarized Cooper pairing driven by ferromagnetic spin fluctuations in a triplet superconductor.
In the orthorhombic manganites o-RMnO3, where R is a heavy rare earth (R = Gd-Yb), the Mn3+ sublattice is known to undergo two magnetic transitions. The low temperature phase has an antiferromagnetic structure (collinear or elliptical), which has been well characterized by neutron diffraction in most of these compounds. The intermediate phase, occurring in a narrow temperature range (a few K), is documented for R = Gd-Ho as a collinear modulated structure, incommensurate with the lattice spacings. We report here on a 57Fe Mossbauer study of 2% 57Fe doped o-YbMnO3, where the spin only Fe3+ ion plays the role of a magnetic probe. From the analysis of the shape of the magnetic hyperfine Mossbauer spectra, we show that the magnetic structure of the intermediate phase in o-YbMnO3 (38.0 K < T < 41.5 K) is also modulated and incommensurate.
Owing to their chiral cubic structure, exotic multifold topological excitations have been predicted and recently observed in transition metal silicides like $beta$-RhSi. Herein, we report that the topological character of RhSi is also observed in its orthorhombic $alpha$-phase which displays multiple types of Dirac nodes very close to the Fermi level ($varepsilon_F$) with the near absence of topologically trivial carriers. We discuss the symmetry analysis, band connectivity along high-symmetry lines using group representations, the band structure, and the nature of the Dirac points and nodal lines occurring near $varepsilon_F$. The de Haas-van Alphen effect (dHvA) indicates a Fermi surface in agreement with the calculations. We find an elliptically-shaped nodal line very close to $varepsilon_F$ around and near the $S$-point on the $k_y-k_z$ plane that results from the intersection of two upside-down Dirac cones. The two Dirac points of the participating Kramers degenerate bands are only 5 meV apart, hence an accessible magnetic field might induce a crossing between the spin-up partner of the upper-Dirac cone and the spin-down partner of the lower Dirac cone, possibly explaining the anomalies observed in the magnetic torque.
We report on magnetic resonance studies within the magnetically ordered phase of the quasi-1D antiferromagnet LiCuVO_4. Our studies reveal a spin reorientational transition at a magnetic field H_c1 ~ 25 kOe applied within the crystallographical (ab)-plane in addition to the recently observed one at H_c2 ~75 kOe [ M.G. Banks et al., cond-mat/0608554 (2006)]. Spectra of the antiferromagnetic resonance (AFMR) along low-frequency branches can be described in the frame of a macroscopic theory of exchange-rigid planar magnetic structures. These data allow to obtain the anisotropy of the exchange interaction together with a constant of the uniaxial anisotropy. Spectra of 7Li nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) show that, within the magnetically ordered phase of LiCuVO_4 in the low-field range H < H_c1, a planar spiral spin structure is realized with the spins lying in the (ab)-plane in agreement with neutron scattering studies of B.J. Gibson et al. [Physica B Vol. 350, 253 (2004)]. Based on NMR spectra simulations, the transition at H_c1 can well be described as a spin-flop transition, where the spin plane of the magnetically ordered structure rotates to be perpendicular to the direction of the applied magnetic field. For H > H_c2 ~ 75 kOe, our NMR spectra simulations show that the magnetically ordered structure exhibits a modulation of the spin projections along the direction of the applied magnetic field H.
The orthorhombic antiferromagnetic compound CuMnAs was recently predicted to be an antiferromagnetic Dirac semimetal if both the Ry gliding and S2z rotational symmetries are preserved in its magnetic ordered state. In our previous work on Cu0.95MnAs and Cu0.98Mn0.96As, we showed that in their low temperature commensurate antiferromagnetic state the b axis is the magnetic easy axis, which breaks the S2z symmetry. As a result, while the existence of Dirac fermions is no longer protected, the polarized surface state makes this material potentially interesting for antiferromagnetic spintronics. In this paper, we report a detailed study of the anisotropic magnetic properties and magnetoresistance of Cu0.95MnAs and Cu0.98Mn0.96As. Our study shows that in Cu0.95MnAs the b axis is the easy axis and the c axis is the hard axis. Furthermore, it reveals that Cu0.95MnAs features a spin-flop phase transition at high temperatures and low fields when the field is applied along the easy b axis, resulting in canted antiferromagnetism. However, no metamagnetic transition is observed in Cu0.98Mn0.96As, indicating that the magnetic interactions in this system are very sensitive to Cu vacancies and Cu/Mn site mixing.
