Magnetic ordering phenomena in CexPr1-xB6 solid solutions have been studied using both powder and single-crystal neutron diffraction. A variety of magnetic structures are observed depending on temperature and Ce concentration. Over a broad composition range (x $le$ 0.7), Pr-Pr interactions play a dominant role, giving rise to incommensurate structures with wave vectors of the form k{IC1}=(1/4-delta, 1/4, 1/2) or k{IC2}=(1/4-delta, 1/4-delta, 1/2). The crossover to a CeB6-like regime takes place near x = 0.7-0.8. For the latter composition, the antiferroquadrupolar phase transition observed in transport measurements precedes the onset, at lower temperature, of a commensurate magnetic order similar to that existing in CeB6. However, unlike in the pure compound, an incommensurate magnetic order is formed at even higher temperature and persists in the antiferroquadrupolar phase down to the lock-in transition. These results are shown to reflect the interplay between various type of dipole exchange and higher multipole interactions in this series of compounds.

Neutron powder diffraction measurements have been performed on Ce_xNd_{1-x}B_6 (x = 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8) solid solutions to determine the type of magnetic order occurring in these compounds as a result of the interplay between magnetic dipole exch
ange and antiferroquadrupolar interactions. In the Ce-rich range, the sequence of two magnetic phases, with an incommensurate order [k = (1/4 -delta, 1/4 -delta, 1/2)] forming below T N followed by a lock-in--type transition at lower temperature, is quite similar to that reported earlier for Ce_xPr_{1-x} B_6. For x = 0.5, on the other hand, the same antiferromagnetic order as in pure NdB6 first occurs at TN, then coexists with an incommensurate component below the lower transition temperature. These results are in good agreement with previous resistivity measurements and support the idea that Ce and Nd magnetic moments in this system can be relatively decoupled.
The magnetism in Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$ has been investigated using thermodynamic measurements, first principles calculations, neutron diffraction and diffuse neutron scattering on single crystals. These data confirm that Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$ is a ferrimag
net below a Curie temperature of $T_C$ approximately 78K. The magnetism is anisotropic, with magnetization and neutron diffraction demonstrating that the moments lie within the basal plane of the trigonal structure. The saturation magnetization of approximately 1.6$mu_B$/Mn at 5K originates from the different multiplicities of the two antiferromagnetically-aligned Mn sites. First principles calculations reveal antiferromagnetic exchange for the three nearest Mn-Mn pairs, which leads to a competition between the ferrimagnetic ground state and three other magnetic configurations. The ferrimagnetic state results from the energy associated with the third-nearest neighbor interaction, and thus long-range interactions are essential for the observed behavior. Diffuse magnetic scattering is observed around the 002 Bragg reflection at 120K, which indicates the presence of strong spin correlations well above $T_C$. These are promoted by the competing ground states that result in a relative suppression of $T_C$, and may be associated with a small ferromagnetic component that produces anisotropic magnetism below $approx$330K.
The ability to tune the iron chalcogenides BaFe2Q3 from Mott insulators, to metals and then superconductors with applied pressure has renewed interest in low-dimensional iron chalcogenides and oxychalcogenides. We report here a combined experimental
and theoretical study on the iron oxychalcogenides BaFe2Q2O (Q=S, Se) and show that their magnetic behaviour results from nearest-neighbour magnetic exchange interactions via oxide and selenide anions of similar strength, with properties consistent with more localised electronic structures than those of BaFe2Q3 systems.
Resonant x-ray scattering (RXS) experiment has been performed for the (3 0 1.5) superlattice reflection in the antiferroquadrupolar and antiferromagnetic phase of DyB2C2. Azimuthal-angle dependence of the resonance enhanced intensities for both dipol
ar (E1) and quadrupolar (E2) resonant processes has been measured precisely with polarization analysis. Every scattering channel exhibits distinctive azimuthal dependence, differently from the symmetric reflection at (0 0 0.5) which was studied previously. We have analyzed the results using a theory developed by Lovesey et al., which directly connects atomic tensors with the cross-section of RXS. The fitting results indicate that the azimuthal dependences can be explained well by the atomic tensors up to rank 2. Rank 3 and rank 4 tensors are reflected in the data very little. In addition, The coupling scheme among the 4f quadrupolar moment, 5d ortitals, and the lattice has been determined from the interference among the Thomson scattering from the lattice distortion and the resonant scatterings of E1 and E2 processes. It has also been established from the RXS of the (3 0 1.5) reflection that the canting of the 4f quadrupolar moments exists up to T_Q. We also discuss a possible wavefunction of the ground state from the point-charge model calculation.
The origin of non-collinear magnetic order in UO$_{2}$ is studied by an ab initio dynamical-mean-field-theory framework in conjunction with a linear-response approach for evaluating inter-site superexchange interactions between U 5$f^{2}$ shells. The
calculated quadrupole-quadruple superexchange interactions are found to unambiguously resolve the frustration of face-centered-cubic U sublattice toward stabilization of the experimentally observed non-collinear 3k-magnetic order. Therefore, the exotic 3k antiferromagnetic order in UO$_{2}$ can be accounted for by a purely electronic exchange mechanism acting in the undistorted cubic lattice structure. The quadrupolar short-range order above magnetic ordering temperature $T_N$ is found to qualitatively differ from the long-range order below $T_N$.
