We report the anisotropic magnetic properties of Ho2Ge2O7 determined from dc and ac magnetization, specific heat and powder neutron diffraction experiments. The magnetic lanthanide sublattice, seen in our refinement of the tetragonal pyrogermanate crystal structure, is a right-handed spiral of edge-sharing and corner-sharing triangles; the local Ho-O coordination indicates that the crystal field is anisotropic. Susceptibility and magnetization data indeed show that the magnetism is highly anisotropic, and the magnetic structure has the Ho moments confined to the plane perpendicular to the structural spiral. The ordered moment of Ho3+, as determined from refinement of the neutron diffraction data, is 9.0 mu_B. Magnetic ordering occurs around 1.6 K. Temperature and field dependent ac susceptibility measurements show that this compound displays spin relaxation phenomena analogous to what is seen in the spin ice pyrochlore system Ho2Ti2O7.

The electronic and magnetic properties of Fe/GaAs(001) magnetic junctions are investigated using first-principles density-functional calculations. Abrupt and intermixed interfaces are considered, and the dependence of charge transfer, magnetization p
rofiles, Schottky barrier heights, and spin polarization of densities of states on interface structure is studied. With As-termination, an abrupt interface with Fe is favored, while Ga-terminated GaAs favors the formation of an intermixed layer with Fe. The Schottky barrier heights are particularly sensitive to the abruptness of the interface. A significant density of states in the semiconducting gap arises from metal interface states. These spin-dependent interface states lead to a significant minority spin polarization of the density of states at the Fermi level that persists well into the semiconductor, providing a channel for the tunneling of minority spins through the Schottky barrier. These interface-induced gap states and their dependence on atomic structure at the interface are discussed in connection with potential spin-injection applications.
Results of magnetization and high-field ESR studies of the new spin-1 Haldane-chain material [Ni(C2H8N2)2NO2](BF4) (NENB) are reported. A definite signature of the Haldane state in NENB was obtained. From the analysis of the frequency-field dependenc
e of magnetic excitations in NENB, the spin-Hamiltonian parameters were calculated, yielding Delta = 17.4 K, g_parallel = 2.14, D = 7.5 K, and |E| = 0.7 K for the Haldane gap, g factor and the crystal-field anisotropy constants, respectively. The presence of fractional S = 1/2 chain-end states, revealed by ESR and magnetization measurements, is found to be responsible for spin-glass freezing effects. In addition, extra states in the excitation spectrum of NENB have been observed in the vicinity of the Haldane gap, which origin is discussed.
The pyrochlore Ho2Ge2O7 is a new highly correlated spin ice material. Physical property measurements including x-ray diffraction, dc susceptibility and ac susceptibility, confirm that it shares the distinctive characteristics of other known spin ices
. Polarized neutron scattering measurements on a powder sample, combined with reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) refinements, give unique information about the spin ice state in Ho2Ge2O7. RMC refinements are used to fit the powder magnetic diffuse scattering and predict the single crystal magnetic scattering of Ho2Ge2O7, demonstrating consistency with spin ice behavior.
We report the enhancement of Neel temperature of Cr2O3 by replacing 50% of Cr by Fe prepared by sol-gel method. The structural analysis by neutron diffraction has revealed that FeCrO3 belongs to a corundum structure (R-3c space group) with an antifer
romagnetic spin structure having collinear spins along a-axis with propagation vector k=0; the high-temperature magnetisation study indicated a Neel temperature of 560 K. The enhancement in Neel temperature has been attributed to the strong orbital hybridization that leads to change in nearest neighbor bond angle and bond distances. Impedance spectroscopy has revealed conduction mechanism at low temperature is due to the polaron hopping while extrinsic contributions from the Maxwell-Wagner dominant at high temperatures
In this work, we combined magnetization, pressure dependent electrical resistivity, heat-capacity, 63Cu Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and X-ray resonant magnetic scattering experiments to investigate the physical properties of the intermetallic Ce
CuBi2 compound. Our single crystals show an antiferromagnetic ordering at TN ~ 16 K and the magnetic properties indicate that this compound is an Ising antiferromagnet. In particular, the low temperature magnetization data revealed a spin-flop transition at T = 5 K when magnetic fields about 5.5 T are applied along the c-axis. Moreover, the X-ray magnetic diffraction data below TN revealed a commensurate antiferromagnetic structure with propagation wavevector (0 0 1/2) with the Ce^3+ moments oriented along the c-axis. Furthermore, our heat capacity, pressure dependent resistivity and temperature dependent 63Cu NMR data suggest that CeCuBi2 exhibits a weak heavy fermion behavior with strongly localized Ce^3+ 4f electrons. We thus discuss a scenario taking into account the anisotropic magnetic interaction between the Ce^3+ ions along with the tetragonal crystalline electric field effects in CeCuBi2.
