In this work we demonstrate that the polycrystalline ribbons of (Ni48Co6)Mn26Al20 with B2 structure at room temperature show a magnetic behavior with competing magnetic exchange interactions leading to frozen disorders at low temperatures. It is established that by considering the presence of both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic sublattices, we can explain the observed magnetic behavior including the metamagnetic transition observed in these samples. From the Arrott plots, the Neel temperature of (Ni48Co6)Mn26Al20 is deduced to be ~170 K and the broad ferro to para like magnetic phase transition is observed at ~ 200 K. Based on Neel theory, a cluster model is used to explain the presence of ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic clusters in the studied ribbons. Formation of ferromagnetic clusters can be understood in terms of positive exchange interactions among the Mn atoms that are neighboring to Co atoms which are located on the Ni sites.

Large magnetoresistive materials are of immense interest for a number of spintronic applications by developing high density magnetic memory devices, magnetic sensors and magnetic switches. Colossal magnetoresistance, for which resistivity changes sev eral order of magnitude (${sim10^4 %}$) in an external magnetic field, occurs mainly in phase separated oxide materials, namely manganites, due to the phase competition between the ferromagnetic metallic and the antiferromagnetic insulating regions. Can one further enhance the magnetoresistance by tuning the volume fraction of the two phases? In this work, we report a huge colossal magnetoresistance along with the ultra-sharp metamagnetic transition in half doped ${Sm_{0.5}Ca_{0.25}Sr_{0.25}MnO_3}$ manganite compound by suitably tuning the volume fraction of the competing phases. The obtained magnetoresistance value at 10 K is as large as $sim10^{13}%$ in a 30 kOe external magnetic field and $sim10^{15}%$ in 90 kOe external magnetic field and is several orders of magnitude higher than any other observed magnetoresistance value reported so far. Using model Hamiltonian calculations we have shown that the inhomogeneous disorder, deduced from tunneling electron microscopy, suppresses the CE-type phase and seeds the ferromagnetic metal in an external magnetic field.

Based on ab initio total energy calculations we show that two magnetic states of rhodium atoms together with competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions are responsible for a temperature induced metamagnetic phase transition, which experimentally is observed for stoichiometric alpha-FeRh. A first-principle spin-based model allows to reproduce this first-order metamagnetic transition by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Further inclusion of spacial variation of exchange parameters leads to a realistic description of the experimental magneto-volume effects in alpha-FeRh.
The phase coexistence present through a first-order phase transition means there will be finite regions between the two phases where the structure of the system will vary from one phase to the other, known as a phase boundary wall. This region is sai d to play an important but unknown role in the dynamics of the first-order phase transitions. Here, by using both x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy and magnetometry techniques to measure the temporal isothermal development at various points through the thermally activated first-order metamagnetic phase transition present in the near-equiatomic FeRh alloy, we are able to isolate the dynamic behavior of the domain walls in this system. These investigations reveal that relaxation behavior of the domain walls changes when phase coexistence is introduced into the system and that the domain wall dynamics is different to the macroscale behavior. We attribute this to the effect of the exchange coupling between regions of either magnetic phase changing the dynamic properties of domain walls relative to bulk regions of either phase. We also believe this behavior comes from the influence of the phase boundary wall on other magnetic objects in the system.
Nanocrystalline ribbons of inverse Heusler alloy Mn2Ni1.6Sn0.4 have been synthesised by melt spinning of the arc melted bulk precursor. The single phase ribbons crystallize into a cubic structure and exhibit very fine crystallite size of < 2 nm. Temp erature dependent magnetization (M-T) measurements reveal that austenite (A)-martensite (M) phase transition begins at T~248 K and finishes at T~238 K during cooling cycle and these values increase to T~267 K and T~259 K while warming. In cooling cycle, the A-phase shows ferromagnetic (FM) ordering with a Curie temperature T~267 K, while both the FM-antiferromagnetic (AFM) and M-transitions occur at T~242 K. The M-phase undergoes FM transition at T~145 K. These transitions are also confirmed by temperature dependent resistivity measurements. The observed hysteretic behaviour of magnetization and resistivity in the temperature regime spanned by the A-M transition is a manifestation of the first order phase transition. Magnetization and susceptibility data also provide unambiguous evidence in favour of spin glass . The scaling of the glass freezing temperature (Tf) with frequency, extracted from the frequency dependent AC susceptibility measurements, confirms the existence of canonical spin glass at T<145 K. The occurrence of canonical spin glass has been explained in terms of the nanostructuring modified interactions between the FM correlations in the martensitic phase and the coexisting AFM.
The magnetic behavior of polycrystalline yttrium orthoferrite was studied from the experimental and theoretical points of view. Magnetization measurements up to 170 kOe were carried out on a single-phase YFeO3 sample synthesized from heterobimetallic alkoxides. The complex interplay between weak-ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions, observed in the experimental M(H) curves, was successfully simulated by locally minimizing the magnetic energy of two interacting Fe sublattices. The resulting values of exchange field (H_E = 5590 kOe), anisotropy field (H_A = 0.5 kOe) and Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya antisymmetric field (H_D = 149 kOe) are in good agreement with previous reports on this system.
