We report the results of measurements of the dc magnetic susceptibility chi(T) and of the 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) response of NaVGe2O6, a material in which the V ions form a network of interacting one-dimensional spin S=1 chains. The experiments were made at temperatures between 2.5 and 300 K. The chi(T) data suggest that the formation of the expected low-temperature Haldane phase is intercepted by an antiferromagnetic phase transition at 18 K. The transition is also reflected in the 23Na NMR spectra and the corresponding spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1(T). In the ordered phase, 1/T1(T) decreases by orders of magnitude with decreasing temperature, indicating the formation of a gap of the order of 12 K in the magnetic excitation spectrum.

Sigma-phase intermetallic compound of Fe54Cr46 was investigated using DC and AC magnetic susceptibility techniques. A clear-cut evidence was found that the sample orders magnetically at Tc=23.5 K and its ground magnetic state is constituted by a spin glass. The temperature at which the zero-field cooled magnetization has its maximum decreases with an external magnetic field in line with the Gabay-Toulouse prediction. The temperature at which the AC magnetic susceptibility has its maximum does not depend on frequency which, in the light of the mean-field theory, testifies to very long magnetic interactions.
We report 7Li NMR, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements on the triangular lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet compound LiCrO2. We find that in contrast to NaCrO2, magnetic properties of LiCrO2 have a more pronounced three dimensional character with sharp anomalies in the temperature variation of the 7Li NMR intensity and the NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1. From heat capacity measurements we find that the total entropy related to the magnetic transition is in agreement with expectations. However, we find a significant contribution to the magnetic entropy in the range from the ordering temperature T_N to nearly 4T_N. This suggests the existence of magnetic correlations at temperatures well above T_N which might be due to the frustrated nature of the system. Based on the temperature dependence of 1/T1, we discuss the possible occurrence of a Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii transition taking place at T_KTB = 55 K in LiCrO2. Lithium depletion has no significant effect on the magnetic properties and the behaviour of Li0.5CrO2 is nearly unchanged from that of LiCrO2.
The NMR relaxation rate and the static spin susceptibility in graphene are studied within a tight-binding description. At half filling, the NMR relaxation rate follows a power law as $T^2$ on the particle-hole symmetric side, while with a finite chemical potential $mu$ and next-nearest neighbor $t$, the $(mu+3t)^2$ terms dominate at low excess charge $delta$. The static spin susceptibility is linearly dependent on temperature $T$ at half filling when $t=0$, while with a finite $mu$ and $t$, it should be dominated by $(mu+3t)$ terms in low energy regime. These unusual phenomena are direct results of the low energy excitations of graphene, which behave as massless Dirac fermions. Furthermore, when $delta$ is high enough, there is a pronounced crossover which divides the temperature dependence of the NMR relaxation rate and the static spin susceptibility into two temperature regimes: the NMR relaxation rate and the static spin susceptibility increase dramatically as temperature increases in the low temperature regime, and after the crossover, both decrease as temperature increases at high temperatures. This crossover is due to the well-known logarithmic Van Hove singularity in the density of states, and its position dependence of temperature is sensitive to $delta$.
We have investigated the pressure dependence of ac and dc susceptibilities of the heavy-fermion superconductor CePt3Si (Tc= 0.75 K) that coexists with antiferromagnetism (TN = 2.2 K). As hydrostatic pressure is increased, Tc first decreases rapidly, then rather slowly near the critical pressure Pc = 0.6 GPa and shows a stronger decrease again at higher pressures, where Pc is the pressure at which TN becomes zero. A transition width and a difference in the two transition temperatures defined in the form of structures in the out-of-phase component of ac susceptibilities also become small near Pc, indicating that a double transition observed in CePt3Si is caused by some inhomogeneous property in the sample that leads to a spatial variation of local pressure. A sudden increase in the Meissner fraction above Pc suggests the influence of antiferromagnetism on superconductivity.
We report $^{51}$V zero-field NMR of manganese vanadate spinel of MnV$_2$O$_4$, together with both ac and dc magnetization measurements. The field and temperature dependence of ac susceptibilities show a reentrant-spin-glass-like behavior below the ferrimagnetic(FEM) ordering temperature. The zero-field NMR spectrum consists of multiple lines ranging from 240 MHz to 320 MHz. Its temperature dependence reveals that the ground state is given by the simultaneous formation of a long-range FEM order and a short-range order component. We attribute the spin-glass-like anomalies to freezing and fluctuations of the short-range ordered state caused by the competition between spin and orbital ordering of the V site.
