The electronic transport properties and the magnetic susceptibility were measured in detail in $YBaCo_2O_{5.45}$. Close to the so-called metal-insulator transition, strong effects of resistance relaxation, a clear thermal hysteresis and a sudden increase of the resistance noise are observed. This is likely due to the first order character of the transition and to the underlying phases coexistence. Despite these out of equilibrium features, a positive and linear magneto-resistance is also observed, possibly linked to the heterogeneity of the state. From a magnetic point of view, the paramagnetic to ordered magnetic state transition is observed using non linear susceptibilty. This transition shows the characteristics of a continuous transition, and time dependent effects can be linked with the dynamics of magnetic domains in presence of disorder. Thus, when focusing on the order of the transitions, the electronic one and the magnetic one can not be directly associated.

The finite-temperature transport properties of FeRh compounds are investigated by first-principles Density Functional Theory-based calculations. The focus is on the behavior of the longitudinal resistivity with rising temperature, which exhibits an a brupt decrease at the metamagnetic transition point, $T = T_m$ between ferro- and antiferromagnetic phases. A detailed electronic structure investigation for $T geq 0$ K explains this feature and demonstrates the important role of (i) the difference of the electronic structure at the Fermi level between the two magnetically ordered states and (ii) the different degree of thermally induced magnetic disorder in the vicinity of $T_m$, giving different contributions to the resistivity. To support these conclusions, we also describe the temperature dependence of the spin-orbit induced anomalous Hall resistivity and Gilbert damping parameter. For the various response quantities considered the impact of thermal lattice vibrations and spin fluctuations on their temperature dependence is investigated in detail. Comparison with corresponding experimental data finds in general a very good agreement.
We report the evolution of structural, magnetic and dielectric properties due to partial substitution of Ba by Sr in the high temperature multiferroic YBaCuFeO5. This compound exhibits ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic transitions around 200 K and these two phenomena are presumed to be coupled with each other. Our studies on magnetic and dielectric properties of the YBa1-xSrxCuFeO5 (x = 0.0, 0.25 and 0.5) show that substitution of Sr shifts magnetic transition towards higher temperature whereas dielectric transition to lower temperature. These results points to the fact that magnetic and dielectric transitions get decoupled as a result of chemical pressure in form of Sr substitution. The nature of magnetodielectric coupling changes across the series with the presence of higher order coupling terms. Additionally in these compounds glassy dynamics of electric dipoles is observed at low temperatures.
The anisotropic physical properties of single crystals of orthorhombic PtSn4 are reported for magnetic fields up to 140 kOe, applied parallel and perpendicular to the crystallographic b-axis. The magnetic susceptibility has an approximately temperatu re independent behavior and reveals an anisotropy between ac-plane and b-axis. Clear de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in fields as low as 5 kOe and at temperatures as high as 30 K were detected in magnetization isotherms. The thermoelectric power and resistivity of PtSn4 show the strong temperature and magnetic field dependencies. A change of the thermoelectric power at H = 140 kOe is observed as high as ~ 50 mu-V/K. Single crystals of PtSn4 exhibit very large transverse magnetoresistance of ~ 5x10^5% for the ac-plane and of ~ 1.4x10^5% for the b-axis resistivity at 1.8 K and 140 kOe, as well as pronounced Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. The magnetoresistance of PtSn4 appears to obey Kohlers rule in the temperature and field range measured. The Hall resistivity shows a linear temperature dependence at high temperatures followed by a sign reversal around 25 K which is consistent with thermoelectric power measurements. The observed quantum oscillations and band structure calculations indicate that PtSn4 has three dimensional Fermi surfaces.
Temperature dependent electrical resistivity, crystal structure and heat capacity measurements reveal a resistivity drop and metal to semiconductor transition corresponding to first order structural phase transition near 400 K in Ca3Co4O9. The lattic e parameter c varies smoothly with increasing temperature, while anomalies in the a, b1 and b2 lattice parameters occur at ~ 400 K. Both Ca2CoO3 and CoO2 layers become distorted above ~ 400 K associated with the metal to semiconductor transport behavior change. Resistivity and heat capacity measurements as a function of temperature under magnetic field indicates low spin contribution to this transition. Reduced resistivity associated with this first order phase transition from metallic to semiconducting behavior enhances the thermoelectric properties at high temperatures and points to the metal to semiconductor transition as a mechanism for improved ZT in high temperature thermoelectric oxides.
The effects of Cu-doping on the structural, magnetic, and transport properties of La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xCuxO3 (0 < x < 0.20) have been studied using neutron diffraction, magnetization and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements. All samples show the rhombohedra l structure with the R3c space-group from 10K to room temperature (RT). Neutron diffraction data suggest that some of the Cu ions have a Cu3+ state in these compounds. The substitution of Mn by Cu affects the Mn-O bond length and Mn-O-Mn bond angle resulting from the minimization of the distortion of the MnO6 octahedron. Resistivity measurements show that a metal to insulator transition occurs for the x more than 0.15 samples. The x = 0.15 sample shows the highest MR(_80%), which might result from the co-existence of Cu3+/Cu2+ and the dilution effect of Cu-doping on the double exchange interaction.
