GdCo$_5$ may be considered as two sublattices - one of Gd and one of Co - whose magnetizations are in antiparallel alignment, forming a ferrimagnet. Substitution of nickel in the cobalt sublattice of GdCo$_5$ has been investigated to gain insight into how the magnetic properties of this prototype rare-earth/transition-metal magnet are affected by changes in the transition metal sublattice. Polycrystalline samples of GdCo$_{5-x}$Ni$_x$ for 0 $ leq x leq $ 5 were synthesized by arc melting. Structural characterization was carried out by powder x-ray diffraction and optical and scanning electron microscope imaging of metallographic slides, the latter revealing a low concentration of Gd$_2$(Co, Ni)$_7$ lamellae for $x leq 2.5$. Compensation - i.e. the cancellation of the opposing Gd and transition metal moments is observed for $1 leq x leq 3$ at a temperature which increases with Ni content; for larger $x$, no compensation is observed below 360 K. A peak in the coercivity is seen at $x approx 1$ at 10K coinciding with a minimum in the saturation magnetization. Density-functional theory calculations within the disordered local moment picture reproduce the dependence of the magnetization on Ni content and temperature. The calculations also show a peak in the magnetocrystalline anisotropy at similar Ni concentrations to the experimentally observed coercivity maximum.

Orthorhombic Y$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$MnO$_3$ ($0 leq x leq 0.5$) was prepared under high pressure and the variations with $x$ of its structural, magnetic, electrical properties and the polarized Raman spectra were investigated. The lattice parameters change s
ystematically with $x$. Although there are strong indications for increasing disorder above $x = 0.20$, the average structure remains orthorhombic in the whole substitutional range. Ca doping increases conductivity, but temperature dependence of resistivity $rho$(T) remains semiconducting for all $x$. The average magnetic exchange interaction changes from antiferromagnetic for $x < 0.08$ to ferromagnetic for $x > 0.08$. The evolution with $x$ of the Raman spectra provides evidence for increasingly disordered oxygen sublattice at $x geq 0.10$, presumably due to quasistatic and/or dynamical Jahn-Teller distortions.
The delicate balance between spin-orbit coupling, Coulomb repulsion and crystalline electric field interactions observed in Ir-based oxides is usually manifested as exotic magnetic behavior. Here we investigate the evolution of the exchange coupling
between Co and Ir for partial La substitution by Ca in La$_{2}$CoIrO$_6$. A great advantage of the use of Ca$^{2+}$ as replacement for La$^{3+}$ is the similarity of its ionic radii. Thus, the observed magnetic changes can more easily be associated to electronic variations. A thorough investigation of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the La$_{2-x}$Ca$_{x}$CoIrO$_6$ system was carried out by means of synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction, muon spin rotation and relaxation ($mu$SR), AC and DC magnetization, XAS, XMCD, Raman spectroscopy, electrical resistivity and dielectric permittivity. Our XAS results show that up to 25% of Ca substitution at the La site results in the emergence of Co$^{3+}$, possibly in high spin state, while the introduction of larger amount of Ca leads to the increase of Ir valence. The competing magnetic interactions resulting from the mixed valences lead to a coexistence of a magnetically ordered and an emerging spin glass (SG) state for the doped samples. Our $mu$SR results indicate that for La$_{2}$CoIrO$_6$ a nearly constant fraction of a paramagnetic (PM) phase persists down to low temperature, possibly related to the presence of a small amount of Ir$^{3+}$ and to the anti-site disorder at Co/Ir sites. For the doped compounds the PM phase freezes below 30 K, but there is still some dynamics associated with the SG. The dielectric data obtained for the parent compound and the one with 25% of Ca-doping indicate a possible magnetodielectric effect, which is discussed in terms of the electron hopping between the TM ions, the anti-site disorder and the distorted crystalline structure.
We combine the results of magnetic and transport measurements with neutron diffraction data to construct the structural and magnetic phase diagram of the entire family of SrMn$_{1-x}$Ru$_{x}$O$_3$ ($0 leqslant x leqslant 1$) perovskites. We have foun
d antiferromagnetic ordering of the C type for lightly Ru-substituted materials ($0.06 leqslant x leqslant 0.5$) in a similar manner to $R_{y}$Sr$_{1-y}$MnO$_3$ ($R$=La, Pr), due to the generation of Mn$^{3+}$ in both families of manganite perovskites by either $B$-site substitution of Ru$^{5+}$ for Mn$^{4+}$ or $A$-site substitution of $R^{3+}$ for Sr$^{2+}$. This similarity is driven by the same ratio of $d^4$ / $d^3$ ions in both classes of materials for equivalent substitution level. In both cases, a tetragonal lattice distortion is observed, which for some compositions ($0.06 leqslant x leqslant 0.2$) is coupled to a C-type AF transition and results in a first order magnetic and resistive transition. Heavily substituted SrMn$_{1-x}$Ru$_{x}$O$_3$ materials are ferromagnetic due to dominating exchange interactions between the Ru$^{4+}$ ions. Intermediate substitution ($0.6 leqslant x leqslant 0.7$) leads to a spin-glass behavior instead of a quantum critical point reported previously in single crystals, due to enhanced disorder.
Here we report the evolution of structural, magnetic and transport properties in MnBi$_{2-x}$Sb$_x$Te$_4$ (0$leq x leq$2) single crystals. MnSb$_2$Te$_4$, isostructural to MnBi$_2$Te$_4$, has the lattice parameters of textit{a}=4.2445(3)$AA$ and text
it{c}=40.869(5)$AA$, respectively. With increasing Sb content in MnBi$_{2-x}$Sb$_x$Te$_4$, the textit{a}-lattice decreases linearly following the Vegards law while the textit{c}-lattice shows little compositional dependence. The textit{a}-lattice contraction occurs by reducing Mn-Te-Mn bond angle while Mn-Te bond length remains nearly constant. The anisotropic magnetic properties suggest an antiferromagnetic order below T$_N$=19,K for MnSb$_2$Te$_4$ with the magnetic moments aligned along the crystallographic textit{c}-axis. The antiferromagnetic ordering temperature slightly decreases from 24,K for MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ to 19,K for MnSb$_2$Te$_4$. More dramatic change was observed for the critical magnetic fields required for the spin-flop transition and moment saturation. With increasing Sb content, both critical fields decrease and in MnSb$_2$Te$_4$ a small field of 3,kOe is enough to saturate the moment. In high magnetic fields, the saturation moment shows significant suppression from 3.56$mu_B$/Mn for MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ to 1.57$mu_B$/Mn for MnSb$_2$Te$_4$. Data analyses suggest that both the interlayer magnetic interaction and single ion anisotropy decrease with increasing Sb content. The partial substitution of Bi by Sb also dramatically affects the transport properties. A crossover from n-type to p-type conducting behavior is observed around x=0.63. Our results show close correlation between structural, magnetic and transport properties in MnBi$_{2-x}$Sb$_x$Te$_4$ and that partial substitution of Bi by Sb is an effective approach to fine tuning both the magnetism and transport properties of MnBi$_{2-x}$Sb$_x$Te$_4$.
The present work reports synthesis, as well as a detailed and careful characterization of structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties of differently tempered undoped and doped CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) ceramics. For this purpose, neutron and x-ray powde
r diffraction, SQUID measurements, and dielectric spectroscopy have been performed. Mn-, Fe-, and Ni-doped CCTO ceramics were investigated in great detail to document the influence of low-level doping with 3d metals on the antiferromagnetic structure and dielectric properties. In the light of possible magnetoelectric coupling in these doped ceramics, the dielectric measurements were also carried out in external magnetic fields up to 7 T, showing a minor but significant dependence of the dielectric constant on the applied magnetic field. Undoped CCTO is well-known for its colossal dielectric constant in a broad frequency and temperature range. With the present extended characterization of doped as well as undoped CCTO, we want to address the question why doping with only 1% Mn or 0.5% Fe decreases the room-temperature dielectric constant of CCTO by a factor of ~100 with a concomitant reduction of the conductivity, whereas 0.5% Ni doping changes the dielectric properties only slightly. In addition, diffraction experiments and magnetic investigations were undertaken to check for possible correlations of the magnitude of the colossal dielectric constants with structural details or with magnetic properties like the magnetic ordering, the Curie-Weiss temperatures, or the paramagnetic moment. It is revealed, that while the magnetic ordering temperature and the effective moment of all investigated CCTO ceramics are rather similar, there is a dramatic influence of doping and tempering time on the Curie-Weiss constant.
