The structural, magnetic and transport properties of the layered RBaCo$_2$O$_{5.5}$ cobaltites are sensitive to the oxygen stoichiometry. In this present study, we report the presence of a low-temperature magnetic glassy state in electron-doped polycrystalline YBaCo$_2$O$_{5.5}$ cobaltite. The ac magnetization studies show the absence of conventional spin glass features, while the various dc magnetization studies demonstrate the presence of non-equilibrium magnetic glassy state at low temperature. The magnetic glassy state of this sample results from the kinetic arrest of the first order ferro (or ferri) to antiferromagnetic transition. The role of electron doping in the occurrence of magnetic glassy phenomena is discussed in terms of magnetic phase separation involving the Co3+/Co2+ clusters of the ferrimagnetic phase in the Co3+/Co3+ antiferromagnetic matrix.

We investigate both the ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) ultrafast dynamics of a strongly correlated oxide system, GdBaCo$_2$O$_{5.5}$ thin film, by time-resolved x-ray magnetic circular dichroism in reflectivity (XMCDR) and resonant magnetic x-ray diffraction (RMXD). A photo-induced AFM-FM transition characterized by an increase of the transient XMCDR beyond the unpumped value and a decay of RMXD was observed. The photon-energy dependence of the transient XMCDR and reflectivity can likely be interpreted as a concomitant photo-induced spinstate transition.
We use a combination of optical spectra, first principles calculations, and energy dependent magneto-optical measurements to elucidate the electronic structure and to study the phase diagram of Ni$_3$V$_2$O$_8$. We find a remarkable interplay of magnetic field and optical properties that reveals additional high magnetic field phases and an unexpected electronic structure which we associate with the strong magneto-dielectric couplings in this material over a wide energy range. Specifically, we observed several prominent magneto-dielectric effects that derive from changes in crystal field environment around Ni spine and cross-tie centers. This effect is consistent with a field-induced modification of local structure. Symmetry-breaking effects are also evident with temperature. We find Ni$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ to be an intermediate gap, local moment band insulator. This electronic structure is particularly favorable for magneto-dielectric couplings, because the material is not subject to the spin charge separation characteristic of strongly correlated large gap Mott insulators, while at the same time remaining a magnetic insulator independent of the particular spin order and temperature.
We report low temperature specific heat and muon spin relaxation/rotation ($mu$SR) measurements on both polycrystalline and single crystal samples of the pyrochlore magnet Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$. This system is believed to possess a spin Hamiltonian supporting a Quantum Spin Ice (QSI) ground state and to display sample variation in its low temperature heat capacity. Our two samples exhibit extremes of this sample variation, yet our $mu$SR measurements indicate a similar disordered low temperature state down to 16 mK in both. We report little temperature dependence to the spin relaxation and no evidence for ferromagnetic order, in contrast to recent reports by Chang emph{et al.} (Nat. Comm. {bf 3}, 992 (2012)). Transverse field (TF) $mu$SR measurements show changes in the temperature dependence of the muon Knight shift which coincide with heat capacity anomalies. We are therefore led to propose that Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ enters a hidden order ground state below $T_csim265$ mK where the nature of the ordered state is unknown but distinct from simple long range order.
The effect of Ir substitution for Os in CeOs2Al10, with an unusually high Neel temperature of T~28.5K, has been studied by high-resolution neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements. A small amount of Ir (~ 8%) results in a pronounced change of the magnetic structure of the Ce-sublattice. The new magnetic ground state is controlled by the single ion anisotropy and implies antiferromagnetic arrangement of the Ce-moments along the a-axis, as expected from the anisotropy of the paramagnetic susceptibility. The value of the ordered moments, 0.92(1) mu_B, is substantially bigger than in the undoped compound, whereas the transition temperature is reduced down to 21K. A comparison of the observed phenomena with the recently studied CeRu1.9Rh0.1Al10 system, exhibiting similar behaviour [A. Kondo et al., J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 82, 054709 (2013)], strongly suggests the electron doping as the main origin of the ground state changes. This provides a new way of exploring the anomalous magnetic properties of the Ce(Ru/Os)2Al10 compounds.
We investigate the phase separated inhomogeneous charge and spin states in magnetic oxides. In particular, we study one dimensional harmonic waves and stripe structures. We show that harmonic spin charge waves are unstable and inevitably transform into two or three dimensional structures, while the stripe structures can be stable for certain parameters. Such stripe structures may allow the control of magnetic state with electric field in a magnetic oxide thin film.
