The perovskite TbFe$_{0.5}$Cr$_{0.5}$O$_3$ shows two anomalies in the magnetic susceptibility at $T_N$ = 257K and $T_{SR}$ = 190K which are respectively, the antiferromagnetic and spin reorientation transition that occur in the Fe/Cr sublattice. Analysis of the magnetic susceptibility reveals signatures of Griffiths-like phase in this compound. Neutron diffraction analysis confirms that, as the temperature is reduced from 350K, a spin reorientation transition from $Gamma_2$ (F$_x$, C$_y$, G$_z$) to $Gamma_4$ (G$_x$, A$_y$, F$_z$) occurs at $T_N$ = 257K and subsequently, a second spin reorientation takes place from $Gamma_4$ (G$_x$, A$_y$, F$_z$) to $Gamma_2$ (F$_x$, C$_y$, G$_z$) at $T_{SR}$ = 190K. The $Gamma_2$ (F$_x$, C$_y$, G$_z$) structure is stable until 7.7K where an ordered moment of 7.74(1)$mu_mathrm B$/Fe$^{3+}$(Cr$^{3+}$) is obtained from neutron data refinement. In addition to the long-range order of the magnetic structure, indication of diffuse magnetic scattering at 7.7K is evident, thereby lending support to the Griffiths-like phase observed in susceptibility. At 7.7K, Tb develops a ferromagnetic component along the crystallographic $a$ axis. Thermal conductivity, and spin-phonon coupling of TbFe$_{0.5}$Cr$_{0.5}$O$_3$ through Raman spectroscopy are studied in the present work. An antiferromagnetic structure with ($uparrow downarrow uparrow downarrow$) arrangement of Fe/Cr spins is found in the ground state through first-principles energy calculations which supports the experimental magnetic structure at 7.7K. The spin-resolved total and partial density of states are determined showing that TbFe$_{0.5}$Cr$_{0.5}$O$_3$ is insulating with a band gap of $sim 0.12$ (2.4) eV within GGA (GGA+$U$) functionals.

Orthorhombic single crystals of TbMn0.5Fe0.5O3 are found to exhibit spin-reorientation, magnetization reversal and weak ferromagnetism. Strong anisotropy effects are evident in the temperature dependent magnetization measurements along the three crys tallographic axes a, b and c. A broad magnetic transition is visible at T_N (Fe/Mn) = 286 K due to paramagnetic to AxGyCz ordering. A sharp transition is observed at T_SR (Fe/Mn) = 28 K, which is pronounced along c axis in the form of a sharp jump in magnetization where the spins reorient to GxAyFz configuration. The negative magnetization observed below TSR Fe/Mn along c axis is explained in terms of domain wall pinning. A component of weak ferromagnetism is observed in field-scans along c-axis but below 28 K. Field-induced steps-like transitions are observed in hysteresis measurement along b axis below 28 K. It is noted that no sign of Tb-order is discernible down to 2 K. TbMn0.5Fe0.5O3 could be highlighted as a potential candidate to evaluate its magneto-dielectric effects across the magnetic transitions.
La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoMn$_{0.5}$Fe$_{0.5}$O$_{6}$ (LSCMFO) compound was prepared by solid state reaction and its structural, electronic and magnetic properties were investigated. The material forms in rhombohedral $Rbar{3}c$ structure, and the presen ce of distinct magnetic interactions leads to the formation of a Griffiths phase above its FM transition temperature (150 K), possibly related to the nucleation of small short-ranged ferromagnetic clusters. At low temperatures, a spin glass-like phase emerges and the system exhibits both the conventional and the spontaneous exchange bias (EB) effects. These results resemble those reported for La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$CoMnO$_{6}$ but are discrepant to those found when Fe partially substitutes Co in La$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$(Co$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$)MnO$_{6}$, for which the EB effect is observed in a much broader temperature range. The unidirectional anisotropy observed for LSCMFO is discussed and compared with those of resembling double-perovskite compounds, being plausibly explained in terms of its structural and electronic properties.

We report the structural, static, and dynamic properties of Cr$_{0.5}$Fe$_{0.5}$Ga by means of powder x-ray diffraction, magnetization, heat capacity, magnetic relaxation, and magnetic memory effect measurements. DC magnetization and AC susceptibilit y studies reveal a spin-glass transition at around $T_{rm f} simeq 22$~K. An intermediate value of the relative shift in freezing temperature $delta T_{rm f} simeq 0.017$, obtained from the AC susceptibility data reflects the formation of cluster spin-glass states. The frequency dependence of $T_{rm f}$ is also analyzed within the framework of dynamic scaling laws. The analysis using power law yields a time constant for a single spin flip $tau* simeq 1.1times10^{-10}$~s and critical exponent $z u^{prime}=4.2pm0.2$. On the other hand, the Vogel-Fulcher (VF) law yields the time constant for a single spin flip $tau_0 simeq 6.6times10^{-9}$~s, VF temperature $T_{rm 0}=21.1pm0.1$~K, and an activation energy $E_{rm a}/k_{rm B} simeq 16$~K. The value of $tau*$ and $tau_0$ along with a non-zero value of $T_{rm 0}$ provide further evidence for the cluster spin-glass behaviour. The magnetic field dependent $T_{rm f}$ follows the de Almeida-Thouless line with a non-mean-field type instability, reflecting either a different universality class or strong anisotropy in the spin system. A detailed non-equilibrium dynamics study via relaxation and memory effect experiments demonstrates striking memory effects. All the above observations render a cluster spin-glass behaviour which is triggered by magnetic frustration due to competing antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interactions and magnetic site disorder. Moreover, the asymmetric response of magnetic relaxation with respect to the change in temperature, below $T_{rm f}$ can be explained by the hierarchical model.
We report near room temperature ferromagnetic as well as low temperature antiferromagnetic correlations in Mn doped Cobalt Tellurate (CMTO) solid solutions using thorough magnetization studies. For all the composition the solid solutions show not onl y short range robust FM order at 185 K but also show long range enhanced AFM order less than or equal to 45 K. Scaling of inverse magnetic susceptibility data provide clear indication of Griffiths like FM phase extended over large thermal region and its robustness against magnetic field. Variations in both the phases as a function of Mn concentration also support our observation of anomalous behavior in the average bond distances and charge states (JAP 116: 074904 (2014)). Further an attempt towards the structural insight into the observed complex magnetic behavior by using network like structural analysis has been drawn. These observations make this an interesting magnetic system from fundamental and application perspective.

The structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of NdFe$_{0.5}$Mn$_{0.5}$O$_3$ have been studied in detail using bulk magnetization, neutron/x-ray diffraction and first principles density functional theory calculations. The material crystallizes in the orthorhombic $Pbnm$ structure, where both Mn and Fe occupy the same crystallographic site ($4b$). Mn/Fe sublattice of the compound orders in to a G-type antiferromagnetic phase close to 250,K where the magnetic structure belongs to ${Gamma}_{1}$ irreducible representation with spins aligned along the crystallographic $b$ direction. This is unconventional in the sense that most of the orthoferrites and orthochromites order in the ${Gamma}_{4}$ representation below the N{e}el temperature.This magnetic structure then undergoes a complete spin reorientation transition with temperature in the range 75,K$gtrsim$ T $gtrsim$ 25,K where the magnetic structure exists as a sum of two irreducible representations (${Gamma}_{1}$+${Gamma}_{2}$) as seen from neutron diffraction measurements. At 6,K, the magnetic structure belongs entirely to ${Gamma}_{2}$ representation with spins aligned antiferromagnetically along the crystallographic $c$ direction having a small ferromagnetic component ($F_x$). The unusual spin reorientation and correlation between magnetic ground state and electronic structure have been investigated using first principles calculations within GGA+U and GGA+U+SO formalisms.
