We present a study on the impact of Mn$^{3+}$ substitution in the geometrically frustrated Ising garnet Ho$_3$Ga$_5$O$_{12}$ using bulk magnetic measurements and low temperature powder neutron diffraction. We find that the transition temperature, $T_N$ = 5.8 K, for Ho$_3$MnGa$_4$O$_{12}$ is raised by almost 20 when compared to Ho$_3$Ga$_5$O$_{12}$. Powder neutron diffraction on Ho$_3$Mn$_x$Ga$_{5-x}$O$_{12}$ ($x$ = 0.5, 1) below $T_N$ shows the formation of a long range ordered ordered state with $mathbf{k}$ = (0,0,0). Ho$^{3+}$ spins are aligned antiferromagnetically along the six crystallographic axes with no resultant moment while the Mn$^{3+}$ spins are oriented along the body diagonals, such that there is a net moment along [111]. The magnetic structure can be visualised as ten-membered rings of corner-sharing triangles of Ho$^{3+}$ spins with the Mn$^{3+}$ spins ferromagnetically coupled to each individual Ho$^{3+}$ spin in the triangle. Substitution of Mn$^{3+}$ completely relieves the magnetic frustration with $f = theta_{CW}/T_N approx 1.1$ for Ho$_3$MnGa$_4$O$_{12}$.

We report the results of neutron scattering on a powder sample of Gd3Ga5O12 at high magnetic fields. We find that in high fields (B>1.8 T) the system is not fully polarized, but has a small canting of the moments induced by the dipolar interaction. W
e show that the degree of canting is accurately predicted by the standard Hamiltonian which includes the dipolar interaction. The inelastic scattering is dominated at large momentum transfers by a band of almost dispersionless excitations. We show that these correspond to the spin waves localized on ten site rings, expected for a system described by a nearest neighbor interaction, and that the spectrum at high fields B>1.8 T is well-described by a spin wave theory. The phase for fields <1.8 T is characterized by an antiferromagnetic Bragg peak at (210) and an incommensurate peak.
Gd3Ga5O12, (GGG), has an extraordinary magnetic phase diagram, where no long range order is found down to 25 mK despite Theta_CW approx 2 K. However, long range order is induced by an applied field of around 1 T. Motivated by recent theoretical devel
opments and the experimental results for a closely related hyperkagome system, we have performed neutron diffraction measurements on a single crystal sample of GGG in an applied magnetic field. The measurements reveal that the H-T phase diagram of GGG is much more complicated than previously assumed. The application of an external field at low T results in an intensity change for most of the magnetic peaks which can be divided into three distinct sets: ferromagnetic, commensurate antiferromagnetic, and incommensurate antiferromagnetic. The ferromagnetic peaks (e.g. (112), (440) and (220)) have intensities that increase with the field and saturate at high field. The antiferromagnetic reflections have intensities that grow in low fields, reach a maximum at an intermediate field (apart from the (002) peak which shows two local maxima) and then decrease and disappear above 2 T. These AFM peaks appear, disappear and reach maxima in different fields. We conclude that the competition between magnetic interactions and alternative ground states prevents GGG from ordering in zero field. It is, however, on the verge of ordering and an applied magnetic field can be used to crystallise ordered components. The range of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic propagation vectors found reflects the complex frustration in GGG.
The substitution of gallium by aluminum, germanium, tin and indium in PuCoGa5, the actinide-based superconductor with the highest critical temperature, has been investigated. Only systems with 20% substitution by Al and Ge (i.e. PuCoGa4Al and PuCoGa4
Ge) have been successfully synthesized by annealing arc-melted samples. X-ray powder diffraction refinements indicate an enhanced c/a ratio in these two compounds but the magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal a large reduction of the critical temperature Tc compared to PuCoGa5. DFT+ED calculations indicate significant changes in the Fermi surface, probably related to the decrease of Tc, in these compounds. In addition, the isotopic effect of the atomic mass of gallium, using 69Ga and 71Ga isotopes, was also investigated without observable influence on the critical temperature of PuCoGa5.
We investigated the electronic structure of layered Mn oxide Bi3Mn4O12(NO3) with a Mn honeycomb lattice by x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The valence of Mn was determined to be 4+ with a small charge-transfer energy. We estimated the values of supere
xchange interactions up to the fourth nearest neighbors (J1, J2, J3, and J4) by unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations and a perturbation method. We found that the absolute values of J1 through J4 are similar with positive (antiferromagnetic) J1 and J4, and negative (ferromagnetic) J2 and J3, due to Mn-O-O-Mn pathways activated by the smallness of charge-transfer energy. The negative J3 provides magnetic frustration in the honeycomb lattice to prevent long-range ordering.
$Li_{2}RuO_{3}$ with a honeycomb structure undergoes a drastic transition from a regular honeycomb lattice with the $C2/m$ space group to a valence bond solid state of the $P2_{1}/m$ space group with an extremely strong dimerization at 550 K. We synt
hesized $Li_{2}Ru_{1-x}Mn_{x}O_{3}$ with a full solid solution and investigated doping effects on the valence bond solid state as a function of Mn content. The valence bond solid state is found to be stable up to $x = 0.2$, based on our extensive experiments: structural studies, resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility. On the other hand, the extended x-ray absorption fine structure analyses show that the dimer local structure remains robust even above $x = 0.2$ with a minimal effect on the dimer bond length. This indicates that the locally-disordered dimer structure survives well into the Mn-rich phase even though the thermodynamically stable average structure has the $C2/m$ space group. Our results prove that the dimer formation in $Li_{2}RuO_{3}$ is predominantly a local phenomenon driven by the formation of orbitally-assisted metal-metal bonds and that these dimers are relatively robust against doping-induced disorder.
