We report here the magnetic properties of electron-doped Sm1-xCaxMnO3 manganites with the doping level of x=0.91. Exchange bias effect has been observed in Sm0.09Ca0.91MnO3 nanomanagnites system and can be tuned by the strength of cooling magnetic field (Hcool). The values of exchange bias parameter i.e. exchange bias fields (HE), coercivity (HC), remanence asymmetry (ME) and magnetic coercivity (MC) are found to strongly depend on Hcool. The larger effective magnetic moments and deviation of inverse susceptibility (c{hi}-1) from Curie-Weiss law indicate the possible existence of Griffiths phase (GP). A rigorous measurement of linear and nonlinear ac and dc magnetic susceptibility in nanomanganites proves the existence of Griffiths phase (GP) in the temperature range TC<T<TG (Griffiths temperature). The effect of size reduction on exchange bias effect and GP is addressed here. The enhancement of exchange bias effect and GP has been argued to be due to the modification of the phase separated state on size reduction.

We employ time-resolved resonant x-ray diffraction to study the melting of charge order and the associated insulator-metal transition in the doped manganite Pr$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ after resonant excitation of a high-frequency infrared-active lat tice mode. We find that the charge order reduces promptly and highly nonlinearly as function of excitation fluence. Density functional theory calculations suggest that direct anharmonic coupling between the excited lattice mode and the electronic structure drive these dynamics, highlighting a new avenue of nonlinear phonon control.
Exchange bias-like effect observed in the intermetallic compound TbFeAl, which displays a magnetic phase transition at $T^h_c approx$ 198~K and a second one at $T^l_c approx$ 154~K, is reported. {em Jump}-like features are observed in the isothermal magnetization, $M (H)$, at 2~K which disappear above 8~K. The field-cooled magnetization isotherms below 10~K show loop-shifts that are reminiscent of exchange bias, also supported by {em training effect}. Significant coercive field, $H_c approx$ 1.5~T at 2~K is observed in TbFeAl which, after an initial increase, shows subsequent decrease with temperature. The exchange bias field, $H_{eb}$, shows a slight increase and subsequent leveling off with temperature. It is argued that the inherent crystallographic disorder among Fe and Al and the high magnetocrystalline anisotropy related to Tb$^{3+}$ lead to the exchange bias effect. TbFeAl is recently reported to show magnetocaloric effect and the present discovery of exchange bias makes this compound a multifunctional one. The result obtained on TbFeAl generalizes the observation of exchange bias in crystallographically disordered materials and gives impetus for the search for materials with {em exchange bias induced by atomic disorder.}
We have studied structural, magnetic and transport properties as a function of temperature and magnetic field in the electron doped manganite YxCa1-xMnO3, for 0<x<0.25. We found that in the paramagnetic regime, the magnetic susceptibility, chi, devia tes substantially from a Curie-Weiss law for x>0. With a simple model where antiferromagnetic (AF) superexchange and ferromagnetic (FM) double exchange (DE) compete, we fit the experimental chi(x, T) obtaining parameter values which indicate that the FM-DE interaction is about twice as intense as the AF interaction. In the ordered phase, the H-dependence of the magnetization M(x,T) is explained in terms of magnetic polarons. We propose that the displacement of the eg electrons (in the G-type AF background) causes the alignement of the polaron with H. Signatures of polaronic behavior were also found in the x and T dependence of the electric resistivity.
We report on the emergence of an Electronic Griffiths Phase (EGP) in the doped semiconductor FeSb$_{2}$, predicted for disordered insulators with random localized moments in the vicinity of a metal-insulator transition (MIT). Magnetic, transport, and thermodynamic measurements of Fe(Sb$_{1-x}$Te$_{x}$)$_{2}$ single crystals show signatures of disorder-induced non-Fermi liquid behavior and a Wilson ratio expected for strong electronic correlations. The EGP states are found on the metallic boundary, between the insulating state ($x = 0$) and a long-range albeit weak magnetic order ($x geq 0.075$).

The coexistence of ferromagnetism and metallic conduction in doped manganites has long been explained by a double-exchange model in which the ferromagnetic exchange arises from the carrier hopping. We evaluate the zero-temperature spin stiffness D(0) and the Curie temperature T_{C} on the basis of the double-exchange model using the measured values of the bare bandwidth W and the Hunds rule coupling J_{H}. The calculated D(0) and T_{C} values are too small compared with the observed ones even in the absence of interactions. A realistic onsite interorbital Coulomb repulsion can reduce D(0) substantially in the case of a 2-orbital model. Furthermore, experiment shows that D(0) is simply proportional to x in La_{1-x}Sr_{x}MnO_{3} system, independent of whether the ground state is a ferromagnetic insulator or metal. These results strongly suggest that the ferromagnetism in manganites does not originate from the double-exchange interaction. On the other hand, an alternative model based on the d-p exchange can semi-quantitatively explain the ferromagnetism of doped manganites at low temperatures.
