Despite intense research in the field of strongly correlated electron behavior for the past few decades, there has been very little effort to understand this phenomenon in nano particles of the Kondo lattices. In this article, we review the results of our investigation on the fine particles (less than 1 micron) of some of the alloys obtained by high-energy ball-milling to bring out that this synthetic method paves a way to study strong electron correlations in nanocrystals of such alloys. We primarily focus on the alloys of the series, CeRu(2-x)Rh(x)Si2, lying at different positions in Doniachs magnetic phase diagram. While CeRu2Si2, a bulk paramagnet, appears to become magnetic (of a glassy type) below about 8 K in fine particle form, in CeRh2Si2, an antiferromagnet (T_N= 36 K) in bulk form, magnetism is destroyed (at least down to 0.5 K) in fine particles. In the alloy, CeRu(0.8)Rh(1.2)Si2, at the quantum critical point, no long range magnetic ordering is found

We have investigated the magnetic behavior of ball-milled fine particles of well-known Kondo lattices, CeAu2Si2, CePd2Si2 and CeAl2, by magnetization and heat-capacity studies in order to understand the magnetic behavior when the particle size is red
uced. These compounds have been known to order antiferromagnetically in the bulk form near (TN=) 10, 10 and 3.8 K respectively. We find that the features due to magnetic ordering get suppressed to temperatures below 1.8 K in the case of fine particles of ternary alloys, though trivalence of Ce as inferred from the effective moment remains unchanged. In contrast to this, in CeAl2, there appears to be a marginal enhancement of TN, when the particle size is reduced to less than a micron. These results can be consistently understood by proposing that there is relatively more 4f-localization as the particle size is reduced, resulting in weakening of exchange interaction strength.
MgB2 monofilamentary nickel-sheated tapes and wires were fabricated by means of the ex-situ powder-in-tube method using either high-energy ball milled and low temperature synthesized powders. All sample were sintered at 920 C in Ar flow. The milling
time and the revolution speed were tuned in order to maximize the critical current density in field (Jc): the maximum Jc value of 6 x 10e4 A/cm2 at 5 K and 4 T was obtained corresponding to the tape prepared with powders milled for 144h at 180rpm. Vorious synthesis temperature were also investigated (730-900 C) finding a best Jc value for the wire prepared with powders synthesized at 745 C. We speculate that this optimal temperature is due to the fluidifying effect of unreacted magnesium content before the sintering process which could better connect the grains.
Magnesium diboride (MgB2) powder was mechanically alloyed by high energy ball milling with C to a composition of Mg(B0.95C0.05)2 and then sintered at 1000 C in a hot isostatic press. Milling times varied from 1 minute to 3000 minutes. Full C incorpor
ation required only 30-60 min of milling. Grain size of sintered samples decreased with increased milling time to less than 30 nm for 20-50 hrs of milling. Milling had a weak detrimental effect on connectivity. Strong irreversibility field (H*) increase (from 13.3 T to 17.2 T at 4.2 K) due to increased milling time was observed and correlated linearly with inverse grain size (1/d). As a result, high field Jc benefited greatly from lengthy powder milling. Jc(8 T, 4.2 K) peaked at > 80,000 A/cm2 with 1200 min of milling compared with only ~ 26,000 A/cm2 for 60 min of milling. This non-compositional performance increase is attributed to grain refinement of the unsintered powder by milling, and to the probable suppression of grain growth by milling-induced MgO nano-dispersions.
The one-dimensional cobaltate Ca3Co2O6 is an intriguing material having an unconventional magnetic structure, displaying quantum tunneling phenomena in its magnetization. Using a newly developed experimental method, s-core-level non-resonant inelasti
c x-ray scattering (s-NIXS), we were able to image the atomic Co 3d orbital that is responsible for the Ising magnetism in this system. We show that we can directly observe that it is the complex d2 orbital occupied by the sixth electron at the high-spin Co-trig{3+} (d6) sites that generates this behavior. This is extremely rare in the research field of transition metal compounds, and is only made possible by the delicately balanced prismatic trigonal coordination. The ability to directly relate the orbital occupation with the local crystal structure is essential to model the magnetic properties of this system.
To efficiently manipulate magnetism is a key physical issue for modern condensed matter physics, which is also crucial for magnetic functional applications. Most previous relevant studies rely on the tuning of spin texture, while the spin orientation
is often negligible. As an exception, spin-orbit coupled $J_{rm eff}$ states of $4d$/$5d$ electrons provide an ideal platform for emergent quantum effects. However, many expectations have not been realized due to the complexities of real materials. Thus the pursuit for more ideal $J_{rm eff}$ states remains ongoing. Here a near-ideal $J_{rm eff}$=$3/2$ Mott insulating phase is predicted in the family of hexachloro niobates, which avoid some common drawbacks of perovskite oxides. The local magnetic moment is nearly compensated between spin and orbital components, rendering exotic recessive magnetism. More interestingly, the electronic structure and magnetism can be strongly tuned by rotating spin axis, which is rare but crucial for spintronic applications.
