A new quaternary intermetallic borocarbide TmCo2B2C has been synthesized via a rapid-quench of an arc-melted ingot. Elemental and powder-diffraction analyses established its correct stoichiometry and single-phase character. The crystal structure is isomorphous to that of TmNi2B2C(I4/mmm) and is stable over the studied temperature range. Above 7 K, the paramagnetic state follows the modified Curie-Weiss behavior (X=C/(T-theta)+X0 wherein X0=0.008(1) emu/mole and the temperature-dependent term reflecting the paramagnetism of the Tm subsystem: ueff=7.6(2) uB [in agreement with the expected value for a free Tm3+ ion] and theta = -4.5(3) K. Long range ferromagnetic order of the Tm sublattice is observed to develop around ~1 K. No superconductivity is detected in TmCo2B2C down to 20 mK, a feature which is consistent with the general trend in the RCo2B2C series. Finally, the influence of the rapid-quench process on the magnetism (and superconductivity) of TmNi2B2C will be discussed and compared to that of TmCo2B2C.

We report on the high pressure synthesis of BiMn$_7$O$_{12}$, a manganite displaying a quadruple perovskite structure. Structural characterization of single crystal samples shows a distorted and asymmetrical coordination around the Bi atom, due to pr
esence of the $6s^{2}$ lone pair, resulting in non-centrosymmetric space group Im, leading to a permanent electrical dipole moment and ferroelectric properties. On the other hand, magnetic characterization reveals antiferromagnetic transitions, in agreement with the isostructural compounds, thus evidencing two intrinsic properties that make BiMn$_7$O$_{12}$ a promising multiferroic material.
We report details of single crystal growth of stoichiometric bismuthide PtBi$_2$ whose structure consists of alternate stacking of Pt layer sandwiched by Bi bilayer along the $c$-axis. The compound crystallizes in space group P-3 with a hexagonal uni
t cell of $a$=$b$=6.553$AA$, $c$=6.165$AA$. The magnetization data show opposite sign for fields parallel and perpendicular to the Pt layers, respectively. The $T$-dependent resistivity is typical of a metal and the magnetic response shows clear two types of charge carriers and the validity of the semi-classical Kohlers rule. Its physical properties was discussed in comparison with recently proposed topological superconductor $beta$-PdBi$_2$.
The doping effect of Sr and transition metals Mn, Fe, Co into the direct-gap semiconductor LaZnAsO has been investigated. Our results indicate that the single phase ZrCuSiAs-type tetragonal crystal structure is preserved in (La1-xSrx)(Zn1-xTMx)AsO (T
M = Mn, Fe, Co) with the doping level up to x = 0.1. While the system remains semiconducting, doping with Sr and Mn results in ferromagnetic order with TC ~ 30K, and doping with Sr and Fe results in a spin glass like state below ~6K with a saturation moment of ~0.02 muB/Fe, an order of magnitude smaller than the ~0.4 muB/Mn of Sr and Mn doped samples. The same type of magnetic state is observed neither for (Zn,Fe) substitution without carrier doping, nor for Sr and Co doped specimens.
We report the structural and magnetic properties of a quantum magnet PbCuTeO5. The triclinic structure of PbCuTeO5 comprises of alternating layers (ab-planes), in which one layer is composed of S = 1/2 dimer chains and another layer is composed of S
= 1/2 trimer chains formed by corner-shared CuO4 units. Magnetic susceptibility data show a Curie-Weiss behavior with an antiferromagnetic Curie-Weiss temperature (Theta_CW) of -165 K. At low temperature, both the heat capacity Cp(T) and susceptibility data show an anomaly at Tc = 6 K with a weak ferromagnetic (WFM) moment suggesting the appearance of long-range order. The magnetization vs. field M(H) data at 2 K also provide evidence for WFM behavior. Magnetic frustration with a frustration parameter f = Theta_CW/Tc of about 27 is observed. Magnetic specific heat data suggest the presence of a large entropy in the paramagnetic region, well above Tc, suggesting the presence of short-range spin correlations. The observed results might originate from the frustrated network of S = 1/2 distorted checkerboard lattice formed due to the coupling of the spin chains via TeO6 octahedral units in the ab-plane.
The microstructures and interfaces of two-phase vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) thin films play a key role in the design of spintronic device architectures and their multifunctional properties. Here, we show how the microstructures in self-ass
embled VAN thin films of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3:NiO (LSMO:NiO) can be effectively tuned from nano-granular to nano-columnar, and to nano-maze by controlling the number of laser shots from the two constituent phase targets in the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) film growth. The observed microstructural induced strain is found to significantly enhance the magnetoresistance in a very broad temperature range between 10-240 K and to modulate the in-plane exchange bias (EB), with the largest EB value observed in the maximally strained heterostructures. Most interestingly, a unique perpendicular exchange bias (PEB) effect is also observed for these heterostructures with an enhanced PEB field of up to 230 Oe. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and training effect measurements demonstrate that the observed EB is disorder-induced and arises due to the pinning of NiO uncompensated moments at the disordered interface which is ferromagnetically coupled with LSMO. Furthermore, systematic changes in the electronic structure across the vertical interface related to a variation of the Mn3+/Mn4+ content arise as a consequence of out-of-plane tensile strain.
