Muon spin relaxation measurements are reported on three members of the LixMPO4 series. The magnetic properties of stoichiometric samples with M = Ni, Co, Fe, were investigated at low-temperature. In LiNiPO4 we observe different forms of the muon decay asymmetry in the commensurate and incommensurate antiferromagnetic phases, accompanied by a change in the temperature dependence of the muon oscillation frequency. In LiCoPO4 the form of the muon decay asymmetry indicates that the correlation between layers decreases as the Neel temperature is approached from below. LiFePO4 shows more conventional behaviour, typical for an antiferromagnet. Measurements on LixFePO4 with x = 0.8, 0.9, and 1 show evidence for lithium diffusion below ~250 K and muon diffusion dominating the form of the relaxation at higher temperature. The thermally activated form of the observed hopping rate suggests an activation barrier for lithium diffusion of ~ 100 meV and a diffusion constant of D_Li ~ 10^-10 - 10^-9 cm2/s at room temperature.

We investigate the interplay between the Kondo effect and randomness in MxTiSe2 (M = Co, Ni, and Fe) single crystals. Although the typical low-T upturn of resistivity implies the Kondo effect around the single-ion Kondo temperature overline{T}_{K}, p
ositive magnetoresistance linearly proportional to the magnetic field and the power-law scaling of magnetization suggest the forbidden coexistence between Kondo effect and time reversal symmetry breaking. This puzzling result is resolved by the Griffiths scenario - disorder-induced distribution of the Kondo temperature produces an effective Kondo temperature (overline{T}_{K}) much lower than overline{T}_{K}, allowing unscreened local moments above overline{T}_{K} and resulting in non-Fermi liquid properties in MxTiSe2 below the percolation threshold (x<xc).
The effects of Ni doping in Eu(Co{1-x}Ni{x})2As2 single crystals with x =0 to 1 grown out of self flux are investigated via crystallographic, electronic transport, magnetic, and thermal measurements. All compositions adopt the body-centered-tetragona
l ThCr2Si2 structure with space group I4/mmm. We also find 3-4% of randomly-distributed vacancies on the Co/Ni site. Anisotropic magnetic susceptibility chi(T) data versus temperature T show clear signatures of an antiferromagnetic (AFM) c-axis helix structure associated with the Eu{+2} spins-7/2 for x = 0 and x = 1 as previously reported. The chi(T) data for x = 0.03 and 0.10 suggest an anomalous 2q magnetic structure containing two helix axes along the c axis and in the ab plane, respectively, whereas for x = 0.75 and 0.82, a c-axis helix is inferred as previously found for x = 0 and 1. At intermediate compositions x = 0.2, 0.32, 0.42, 0.54, and 0.65 a magnetic structure with a large ferromagnetic (FM) c-axis component is found from magnetization versus field isotherms, suggested to be an incommensurate FM cone structure associated with the Eu spins, which consists of both AFM and FM components. In addition, the chi(T) and heat capacity data for x = 0.2--0.65 indicate the occurrence of itinerant FM order associated with the Co/Ni atoms with Curie temperatures from 60 K to 25 K, respectively. Electrical resistivity measurements indicate metallic character for all compositions with abrupt increases in slope on cooling below the Eu AFM transition temperatures. In addition to this panoply of magnetic transitions, {151}Eu Mossbauer measurements indicate that ordering of the Eu moments proceeds via an incommensurate sine amplitude-modulated structure with additional transition temperatures associated with this effect.
We use neutron scattering to investigate spin excitations in Sr(Co$_{1-x}$Ni$_{x})_2$As$_2$, which has a $c$-axis incommensurate helical structure of the two-dimensional (2D) in-plane ferromagnetic (FM) ordered layers for $0.013leq x leq 0.25$. By co
mparing the wave vector and energy dependent spin excitations in helical ordered Sr(Co$_{0.9}$Ni$_{0.1}$)$_2$As$_2$ and paramagnetic SrCo$_2$As$_2$, we find that Ni-doping, while increasing lattice disorder in Sr(Co$_{1-x}$Ni$_{x})_2$As$_2$, enhances quasi-2D FM spin fluctuations. However, our band structure calculations within the combined density functional theory and dynamic mean field theory (DFT+DMFT) failed to generate a correct incommensurate wave vector for the observed helical order from nested Fermi surfaces. Since transport measurements reveal increased in-plane and $c$-axis electrical resistivity with increasing Ni-doping and associated lattice disorder, we conclude that the helical magnetic order in Sr(Co$_{1-x}$Ni$_{x})_2$As$_2$ may arise from a quantum order-by-disorder mechanism through the itinerant electron mediated Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interactions.
Muon spin relaxation measurements are reported on samples of dimethylammonium metal formates containing magnetic divalent nickel, cobalt, manganese, and copper ions. These hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites exhibit weak ferromagnetism and are, apar
t from the copper system, multiferroics with well separated magnetic and antiferroelectric transitions. We use muons to follow the sublattice magnetization, observing the effect of the spin reorientation transitions below TN and the criticality approaching TN. The multiferroic samples have three-dimensional antiferromagnetic interactions, but the copper sample shows quasi-one-dimensional behavior due to its Jahn-Teller distorted structure, with a ratio of its inter- and intrachain exchange constants j/J=0.037.
The magnetic structures and spin dynamics of Na$_{2}$Co$_{2}$TeO$_{6}$ and Na$_{2}$Ni$_{2}$TeO$_{6}$ are investigated by means of elastic and inelastic neutron scattering measurements and the results are discussed in the context of a generalized Kita
ev-Heisenberg model on honeycomb lattice with strong spin-orbit coupling. The large number of parameters involved in the Hamiltonian model are evaluated by using an iterative optimization algorithm capable of extracting model solutions and simultaneously estimating their uncertainty. The analyses establish that both Co$^{2+}$ ($d^7$) and Ni$^{2+}$ ($d^8$) antiferromagnets realize bond-dependent anisotropic nearest-neighbor interactions, and support the theoretical predictions for the realization of Kitaev physics in 3$d$ electron systems with effective spins $S$=1/2 and $S$=1. Furthermore, by studying the Na-doped system Na$_{2.4}$Ni$_{2}$TeO$_{6}$, we show that the control of Na content can provide an effective route for fine tuning the magnetic lattice dimensionality, as well as to controlling the bond-dependent anisotropic interactions.
