We investigate the origin of the high Neel temperature recently found in Tc perovskites. The electronic structure in the magnetic state of SrTcO3 and its 3d analogue SrMnO3 is calculated within a framework combining band-structure and many-body methods. In agreement with experiment, the Neel temperature of SrTcO3 is found to be four times larger than that of SrMnO3. We show that this is because the Tc-compound lies on the verge of the itinerant-to-localized transition, and also has a larger bandwidth, while the Mn-compound lies deeper into the localized side. For SrTcO3 we predict that the Neel temperature depends weakly on applied pressure, in clear violation of Blochs rule, signaling the complete breakdown of the localized picture.

The microscopic origin of the high Neel temperature (T_N) observed experimentally in SrTcO_3 has been examined using a combination of ab-initio electronic structure calculations and mean-field solutions of a multiband Hubbard model. The G-type antife rromagnetic state is found to be robust for a large region of parameter space, with large stabilization energies found, surprisingly, for small values of intraatomic exchange interaction strength as well as large bandwidths. The microscopic origin of this is traced to specific aspects associated with the d3 configuration at the transition-metal site. Considering values of interaction strengths appropriate for SrTcO3 and the corresponding 3d oxide SrMnO_3, we find a ratio of 4:1 for the TN as well as magnitudes consistent with experiment.
We report a systematic study of the $c$ lattice parameter in the Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ phases versus Na content $x>0.5$, in which sodium always displays ordered arrangements. This allows us to single out the first phase which exhibits an AF magnetic orde r at a Neel temperature $T_{N}=$22 K which is found to occur for $xapprox 0.77(1)$. Pure samples of this phase have been studied both as aligned powders and single crystals. They exhibit identical $^{23}$Na NMR spectra in which three sets of Na sites could be fully resolved, and are found to display $T$ dependencies of their NMR shifts which scale with each other. This allows us to establish that the $T$ variation of the shifts is due to the paramagnetism of the Co sites with formal charge state larger than 3$^{+}$. The existence of a sodium site with axial charge symmetry and the intensity ratio between the sets of $^{23}$Na lines permits us to reveal that the 2D structure of the Na order corresponds to 10 Na sites on top of a 13 Co sites unit cell, that is with $x=10/13approx 0.77$. This structure fits with that determined from local density calculations and involves triangles of 3 Na sites located on top of Co sites (so called Na1 sites). The associated ordering of the Na vacancies is quite distinct from that found for $x<0.75$.
A novel frequency dependence of anomaly in dielectric constant versus temperature plot, around the Neel temperature T_N (~150 K), has been observed in a single crystal of bilayer manganite Pr(Sr0.1Ca0.9)2Mn2O7. The anomaly in the permittivity (epsilo n||c) occurs at a temperature T_f which moves within a temperature window (delT_f) of ~40 K around T_N for a frequency range 50 kHz-5 MHz. The capacitive component Cp of the dielectric response exhibits a clear yet broad feature around T_N which establishes the intrinsic capacitive nature of the anomaly.
Single crystals of sodium cobaltates Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ with $x approx 0.8$ were grown by the floating zone technique. Using electrochemical Na de-intercalation method we reduced the sodium content in the as-grown crystals down to pure phase with 22 K Neel temperature and $x approx 0.77$. The $^{59}$Co NMR study in the paramagnetic state of the $T_{N}=22$ K phase permitted us to evidence that at least 6 Co sites are differentiated. They could be separated by their magnetic behaviour into three types: a single site with cobalt close to non-magnetic Co$^{3+}$, two sites with the most magnetic cobalts in the system, and the remaining three sites displaying an intermediate behaviour. This unusual magnetic differentiation calls for more detailed NMR experiments on our well characterized samples.

We use a quantum Monte Carlo method to calculate the Neel temperature T_N of weakly coupled S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic layers consisting of coupled ladders. This system can be tuned to different two-dimensional scaling regimes for T > T_N. In a single-layer mean-field theory, chi_s^{2D}(T_N)=(z_2J)^{-1}, where chi_s^{2D} is the exact staggered susceptibility of an isolated layer, J the inter-layer coupling, and z_2=2 the layer coordination number. With a renormalized z_2, we find that this relationship applies not only in the renormalized-classical regime, as shown previously, but also in the quantum-critical regime and part of the quantum-disordered regime. The renormalization is nearly constant; k_2 ~ 0.65-0.70. We also study other universal scaling functions.
