We present results on structural and magnetic properties of highly crystalline alpha-Fe2O3 nanoparticles of average size ~200 nm, synthesized from a novel sol-gel method using metal alkoxide precursor. These particles are multi-domain, showing the weak ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic (WF-AF) transition (i.e., the Morin transition) at T_M = 256(2) K. Mossbauer measurements revealed a jump in hyperfine parameters at T ~ T_M, which also displays thermal hysteresis upon cooling or heating the sample. The analysis of hyperfine parameters as a function of temperature allowed us to discard temperature gradients as well as the coexistence of WF/AF phases as possible origins of this hysteretic behaviour. Instead, the hysteresis can be qualitatively explained by the small size and high-crystallinity of the particles, which hinder the nucleation of the WF or AF phases yielding metastable states beyond TM.

Nd2Fe14B magnetic nanoparticles have been successfully produced using a surfactant-assisted ball milling technique. The nanoparticles with different size about 6, 20 and 300 nm were obtained by a size-selection process. Spin-reorientation transition
temperature of the NdFeB nanoparticles was then determined by measuring the temperature dependence of DC and AC magnetic susceptibility. It was found that the spin-reorientation transition temperature (Tsr) of the nanoparticles is strongly size dependent, i.e., Tsr of the 300 nm particles is lower than that of raw materials and a significant decrease was observed in the 20 nm particles.
We report complex dielectric and Raman spectroscopy measurements in four samples of $alpha$- Fe$_2$O$_3$, consisting of crystallites which are either hexagonal shaped plates or cuboids. All four samples exhibit the spin reorientation transition from
a pure antiferromagnetic (AFM) to a weak-ferromagnetic (WFM) state at the Morin Transition temperature (T$_M$) intrinsic to $alpha$- Fe$_2$O$_3$. These samples, pressed and sintered in identical conditions for the dielectric measurements, reveal moderate but clear enhancement in the real part of the dielectric constant ($epsilon$) in the WFM region. However, a relaxation-like behavior in the imaginary part of $epsilon$ is observed only in nano plates or big cuboids. Further still, this relaxation patten is observed only in lower frequency region, lasting upto a few kHz and follows Arrhenius law within this limited range. The activation energy deduced from the fitting is suggestive of polaronic conduction. Temperature dependent Raman spectra reveal anomalies in all major phononic modes and also in 2Eu mode in the vicinity of the Morin transition. A peak like behavior in Raman Shifts, in conjuncture with anharmonic fitting reveals that the nature of spin phonon coupling is different in pure AFM and WFM regions and it is tied to the mild variations, as observed in the dielectric constant of$alpha$- Fe$_2$O$_3$ near the T$_M$.
Anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of Cr2Ge2Te6 (CGT), a layered ferromagnetic insulator, is investigated under an applied hydrostatic pressure up to 2 GPa. The easy axis direction of the magnetization is inferred from the AMR saturation feature in
the presence and absence of the applied pressure. At zero applied pressure, the easy axis is along the c-direction or perpendicular to the layer. Upon application of a hydrostatic pressure>1 GPa, the uniaxial anisotropy switches to easy-plane anisotropy which drives the equilibrium magnetization from the c-axis to the ab-plane at zero magnetic field, which amounts to a giant magnetic anisotropy energy change (>100%). As the temperature is increased across the Curie temperature, the characteristic AMR effect gradually decreases and disappears. Our first-principles calculations confirm the giant magnetic anisotropy energy change with moderate pressure and assign its origin to the increased off-site spin-orbit interaction of Te atoms due to a shorter Cr-Te distance. Such a pressure-induced spin reorientation transition is very rare in three-dimensional ferromagnets, but it may be common to other layered ferromagnets with similar crystal structures to CGT, and therefore offers a unique way to control magnetic anisotropy.
Precise measurements of YbFeO_3 magnetization in the spin-reoirentation temperature interval are performed. It is shown that ytterbium orthoferrite is well described by a recently developed modified mean field theory developed for ErFeO_3. This valid
ates the conjecture about the essential influence of the rare earth ions anisotropic paramagnetism on the magnetization behavior in the reorientation regions of all orthoferrites with Gamma{4} -> Gamma{24} -> Gamma{2} phase transitions.
We investigated the mechanism of the spin-reorientation transition (SRT) in the Ni/Fe/Ni/W(110) system using in situ low-energy electron microscopy, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements, and first principles electronic structure calculation
s. We discovered that the growth of Fe on a flat Ni film on a W (110) crystal resulted in the formation of nanosized particles, instead of a uniform monolayer of Fe as commonly assumed. This interfacial nanostructure leads to a change of the systems dimensionality from two dimensional- to three dimensional-like, which simultaneously weakens the dipolar interaction and enhances the spin-orbit coupling in the system and drives the observed SRT.
