DyMn$_2$O$_5$ is an intriguing multiferroic material showing multiple magnetic, electric and structural transitions. We present here the systematic study on the effect of Sr doping at the Dy site of DyMn$_2$O$_5$ through magnetic and dielectric measurements. Doping of divalent Sr at the Dy site is expected to enhance the Mn$^{4+}$:Mn$^{3+}$ ratio and it will also dilute the Dy site. Our study indicates large enhancement in the magnetic anomaly observed close to 43 K, which we believe to be related to the increased ferromagnetic correlations on Sr doping. Gradual increase in coercive field at 3 K with the Sr doping and decrease in bond length of adjacent Mn$^{4+}$ ions further support the enhancement of ferromagnetic corelations in the system. The parent sample shows a large magnetocaloric effect around 12 K, the magnitude of which found to decrease with increasing Sr concentration. The doping also enhances the anomaly at around 28 K observed in the dielectric permittivity versus temperature data, and this anomaly was earlier claimed to be associated with the spin reorientation as well as a simultaneous transition from one ferroelectric state to other. The electric orderings observed below 25 K are found to be susceptible to the applied magnetic field, and supports the view of Ratcliff II {it et al.}(Phys. Rev. B {bf 72}, 060407(R)(2005)) of concomitant changes in the magnetic structure associated with the multiple electric transitions.

The low-temperature magnetic phase diagram of the multiferroic system FeTe$_2$O$_5$Br down to 300 mK and up to 9 T is presented. Short-range magnetic correlations within the crystal layers start to develop already at $sim$50 K, i.e., far above $T_{N1 } sim$ 11.0 K, where the system undergoes a magnetic phase transition into the high-temperature incommensurate (HT-ICM) phase. Only 0.5 K lower, at $T_{N2}$, the system undergoes a second phase transition into the low-temperature incommensurate amplitude-modulated (LT-ICM) phase accompanied by a spontaneous electric polarization. When the magnetic field is applied, the transition temperatures shift depending on the field orientation. In the case of $B||b$ and $B >$ 4.5 T, the HT-ICM phase disappears along with the electric polarization in the LT-ICM phase. The field dependence of the magnetic transition temperatures is explained in the context of the magnetic susceptibility behavior. Similarities and differences between the novel amplitude-modulated and well-established helicoidal magnetoelectrics are discussed.
The mixed-valent multiferroic compound CaMn7O12 is studied for its magnetic and electric properties. The compound undergoes magnetic ordering below 90 K with a helimagnetic structure followed by a low temperature magnetic anomaly observed around 43 K . The present study shows that the magnetic anomaly at 43 K is associated with thermal hysteresis indicating first order nature of the transition. The compound also shows field-cooled magnetic memory and relaxation below 43 K, although no zero-field-cooled memory is present. Clear magnetic hysteresis loop is present in the magnetization versus field measurements signifying the presence of some ferromagnetic clusters in the system. We doped trivalent La at the cite of divalent Ca expecting to enhance the fraction of Mn$^{3+}$ ions. The La doped samples show reduced magnetization, although the temperatures associated with the magnetic anomalies remain almost unaltered. Interestingly, the spontaneous electrical polarization below 90 K increases drastically on La substitution. We propose that the ground state of the pure as well as the La doped compositions contain isolated superparamagnetic like clusters, which can give rise to metastability in the form of field-cooled memory and relaxation. The ground state is not certainly spin glass type as it is evident from the absence of zero-field-cooled memory and frequency shift in the ac suceptibility measurements.
Polarized neutron diffraction experiments have been performed on multiferroic materials $R$Mn$_{2}$O$_{5}$ ($R=$Ho, Er) under electric fields in the ferroelectric commensurate (CM) and the low-temperature incommensurate (LT-ICM) phases, where the for mer has the highest electric polarization and the latter has reduced polarization. It is found that, after cooling in electric fields down to the CM phase, the magnetic chirality is proportional to the electric polarization. Also we confirmed that the magnetic chirality can be switched by the polarity of the electric polarization in both the CM and LT-ICM phases. These facts suggest an intimate coupling between the magnetic chirality and the electric polarization. However, upon the transition from the CM to LT-ICM phase, the reduction of the electric polarization is not accompanied by any reduction of the magnetic chirality, implying that the CM and LT-ICM phases contain different mechanisms of the magnetoelectric coupling.

Motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in the infinite-layer (Sr,Nd)NiO$_2$ films with Sr content $x simeq0.2$ [Li et al., Nature (London) textbf{572}, 624 (2019)], we examine the effects of electron correlations and Sr-doping on the electronic structure, Fermi surface topology, and magnetic correlations in (Nd,Sr)NiO$_2$ using a combination of dynamical mean-field theory of correlated electrons and band-structure methods. Our results reveal a remarkable orbital selective renormalization of the Ni $3d$ bands, with $m$*/$msim 3$ and 1.3 for the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ and $d_{3z^2-r^2}$ orbitals, respectively, that suggests orbital-dependent localization of the Ni $3d$ states. We find that upon hole doping (Nd,Sr)NiO$_2$ undergoes a Lifshitz transition of the Fermi surface which is accompanied by a change of magnetic correlations from the three-dimensional (3D) Neel $G$-type (111) to the quasi-2D $C$-type (110). We show that magnetic interactions in (Nd,Sr)NiO$_2$ demonstrate an unanticipated frustration, which suppresses magnetic order, implying the importance of in-plane spin fluctuations to explain its superconductivity. Our results suggest that frustration is maximal for Sr-doping $x simeq 0.1$--0.2, which is in agreement with an experimentally observed doping value Sr $x simeq 0.2$ of superconducting (Nd,Sr)NiO$_2$.
We investigated the effect of electron and hole doping on the high-field low-temperature superconducting state in CeCoIn$_5$ by measuring specific heat of CeCo(In$_{rm 1-x}$M$_{rm x}$)$_5$ with M=Sn, Cd and Hg and $x$ up to 0.33% at temperatures down to 0.1,K and fields up to 14,T. Although both Cd- and Hg-doping (hole-doping) suppresses the zero-field $T_c$ monotonically, $H_{c2}$ increases with small amounts of doping and has a maximum around $x$=0.2% (M=Cd). On the other hand, with Sn-doping (electron-doping) both zero-field $T_c$ and $H_{c2}$ decrease monotonically. The critical temperature for the high-field low-temperature superconducting state (so called {it Q}-state) correlates with $H_{c2}$ and $T_c$, which we interpret in support of the superconducting origin of this state.
