Polar magnetic oxide HoCrWO$_6$ is synthesized and its crystal structure, magnetic structure, and thermodynamic properties are investigated. HoCrWO$_6$ forms the polar crystal structure (space group Pna2$_1$ (#33)) due to the cation ordering of W$^{6+}$ and Cr$^{3+}$. There is an antiferromagnetic transition at TN = 24.5 K along with the magnetic entropy change (~5 J.Kg.$^{-1}$K$^{-1}$ at 70 kOe). Neutron diffraction measurement indicates that both Cr and Ho sublattices are ordered with the moment of 2.32(5)$mu_B$ and 8.7(4)$mu_B$ at 2 K, respectively. While Cr forms A-type collinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure with magnetic moment along the $b$ axis, Ho sublattice orders in a non-coplanar AFM arrangement. A comparison with isostructural DyFeWO$_6$ and DyCrWO$_6$ indicates that the magnetic structure of this family of compounds is controlled by the presence or absence of eg electrons in the transition metal sublattice.

Complex systems with coexisting polarity, chirality and incommensurate magnetism are of great interest because they open new degrees of freedom in interaction between different subsystems and therefore they host a plethora of intriguing physical prop
erties. Here we report on optical properties and lattice and spin dynamics of Ni$_2$InSbO$_6$ single crystals studied with the use of polarized optical microscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy in the temperature range 10-300 K. Ni$_2$InSbO$_6$ crystallizes in a polar structure described by the noncentrosymmetric space group R3 and two types of structural domains were visualized due to natural optical activity of opposite chirality. Raman tensor elements of most A and E phonons along with their symmetry were determined. The manifestation of LO-TO splitting was observed for the A modes. By tracking the temperature dependencies of phonon frequencies the well pronounced spin-phonon interaction was observed for several modes below and above the Neel transition temperature TN = 76 K. In antiferromagnetic phase a wide excitation centred at 247 cm-1 was detected and assigned to the two-magnon mode and this value was used for estimating exchange parameters through linear spin-wave theory calculations.
A new series of cubic double perovskites Ba$_2R_{2/3}$TeO$_6$ ($R$ = Y, La, Pr, Nd, Sm-Lu) was synthesized via solid state reaction. The $R^{3+}$ and Te$^{6+}$ ions are ordered on alternating octahedral sites, with the rare earth sites 2/3 occupied t
o balance the charge. The lattice parameters decrease monotonically from a = 8.5533(3) {AA} for Ba$_2$La$_{2/3}$TeO$_6$ to a = 8.3310(4) {AA} for Ba$_2$Lu$_{2/3}$TeO$_6$. The lattice parameter for $R$ = Y is close to that of Ho. Analysis of the resulting bond lengths indicates a structural relaxation around the $R$ ion site. Ba$_2$La$_{2/3}$TeO$_6$, Ba$_2$Y$_{2/3}$TeO$_6$ and Ba$_2$Lu$_{2/3}$TeO$_6$ show primarily temperature-independent magnetic susceptibility due to the lack of a local rare earth moment. For Ba$_2$Sm$_{2/3}$TeO$_6$ and Ba$_2$Eu$_{2/3}$TeO$_6$, the susceptibilities are influenced by Van Vleck-like contributions from excited state multiplets. For the remaining members, the Curie-Weiss law is followed with low-temperature deviations that can be associated with various degrees of crystalline electric field splitting. No magnetic ordering was observed down to 1.8 K in any of the compounds.
Ultrathin (111)-oriented polar iron oxide films were grown on a Pt(111) single crystal either by the reactive deposition of iron or oxidation of metallic iron monolayers. These films were characterized using low energy electron diffraction, scanning
tunneling microscopy and conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy. The reactive deposition of Fe led to the island growth of Fe3O4, in which the electronic and magnetic properties of the bulk material were modulated by superparamagnetic size effects for thicknesses below 2 nm, revealing specific surface and interface features. In contrast, the oxide films with FeO stoichiometry, which could be stabilized as thick as 4 nm under special preparation conditions, had electronic and magnetic properties that were very different from their bulk counterpart, wustite. Unusual long range magnetic order appeared at room temperature for thicknesses between three and ten monolayers, the appearance of which requires severe structural modification from the rock-salt structure.
Magnetic insulators are important materials for a range of next generation memory and spintronic applications. Structural constraints in this class of devices generally require a clean heterointerface that allows effective magnetic coupling between t
he insulating layer and the conducting layer. However, there are relatively few examples of magnetic insulators which can be synthesized with surface qualities that would allow these smooth interfaces and precisely tuned interfacial magnetic exchange coupling which might be applicable at room temperature. In this work, we demonstrate an example of how the configurational complexity in the magnetic insulator layer can be used to realize these properties. The entropy-assisted synthesis is used to create single crystal (Mg0.2Ni0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Cu0.2)Fe2O4 films on substrates spanning a range of strain states. These films show smooth surfaces, high resistivity, and strong magnetic responses at room temperature. Local and global magnetic measurements further demonstrate how strain can be used to manipulate magnetic texture and anisotropy. These findings provide insight into how precise magnetic responses can be designed using compositionally complex materials that may find application in next generation magnetic devices.
Topological polar vortices that are the electric analogues of magnetic objects, present great potential in applications of future nanoelectronics due to their nanometer size, anomalous dielectric response, and chirality. To enable the functionalities
, it is prerequisite to manipulate the polar states and chirality by using external stimuli. Here, we probe the evolutions of polar state and chirality of polar vortices in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices under electric field by using atomically resolved in situ scanning transmission electron microscopy and phase-field simulations. We find that the adjacent clockwise and counterclockwise vortex usually have opposite chirality. The phase-field simulations suggest that the rotation reversal or axial polarization switching can lead to the chirality change. Guided by which, we experimentally validate that the vortex rotation direction can be changed by applying and subsequently removing of electric fields, offering a potential strategy to manipulate the vortex chirality. The revealed details of dynamic behavior for individual polar vortices at atomic scale and the proposed strategy for chirality manipulation provide fundamentals for future device applications.
