Taking the pseudobinary C15-Laves phase compound Ce(Fe$_{0.96}$Al$_{0.04}$)$_2$ as a paradigm for studying a ferromagnetic(FM) to antiferromagnetic(AFM) phase transition, we present interesting thermomagnetic history effects in magnetotransport measurements across this FM-AFM transition. We argue that these distinctive hysteretic features can be used to identify the exact nature -first order or second order - of this kind of transition in magnetic systems where electrical transport is strongly correlated with the underlying magnetic order. A comparison is made with the similar FM-AFM transitions observed in Nd and Pr-based manganese compounds with perovskite-type structure.

Cubic spinel GeNi2O4 exhibits intriguing magnetic properties with two successive antiferromagnetic phase transitions (TN1 12.1 and TN2 11.4 K) with the absence of any structural transition. We have performed detailed heat capacity and magnetic measur
ements in different crystallographic orientations. A new magnetic phase in presence of magnetic field (H > 4 T) along the [111] direction is revealed, which is not observed when the magnetic field is applied along the [100] and [110] directions. High field neutron powder diffraction measurements confirm such a change in magnetic phase, which could be ascribed to a spin reorientation in the presence of magnetic field. A strong magnetic anisotropy and competing magnetic interactions play a crucial role on the complex magnetic behavior in this cubic system.
In this report we show that in the perovskite manganite La_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_3 for a fixed x approx 0.33, the magnetic transition changes over from first order to second order on reducing the particle size to nearly few tens of a nanometer. The change-o
ver is brought about only by reducing the size and with no change in the stoichiometry. The size reduction to an average size of about 15 nm retains the ferromagnetic state albeit with somewhat smaller saturation magnetization and the ferromagnetic transition temperature T_{C} is suppressed by a small amount (4%). The magnetization of the nanoparticles near T_{C} follow the scaling equation $M/|epsilon|^beta = f_pm(H/|epsilon|^{gamma+beta})$, where, $epsilon = |T-T_C|/T_C$. The critical exponents, associated with the transition have been obtained from modified Arrott plots and they are found to be $beta=0.47pm 0.01$ and $gamma=1.06pm 0.03$. From a plot of M vs H at T_{C} we find the exponent $delta=3.10 pm 0.13$. All the exponents are close to the mean field values. The change-over of the order of the transition has been attributed to a lowering of the value of the derivative dT_{C}/dP due to an increased pressure in the nanoparticles arising due to size reduction. This effect acts in tandem with the rounding off effect due to random strain in the nanoparticles.
Recent interest in topological nature in condensed matter physics has revealed the essential role of Berry curvature in anomalous Hall effect (AHE). However, since large Hall response originating from Berry curvature has been reported in quite limite
d materials, the detailed mechanism remains unclear at present. Here, we report the discovery of a large AHE triggered by a pressure-induced magnetic phase transition in elemental $alpha$-Mn. The AHE is absent in the non-collinear antiferromagnetic phase at ambient pressure, whereas a large AHE is observed in the weak ferromagnetic phase under high pressure despite the small averaged moment of $sim 0.02 mu_B$/Mn. Our results indicate that the emergence of the AHE in $alpha$-Mn is governed by the symmetry of the underlying magnetic structure, providing a direct evidence of a switch between a zero and non-zero contribution of the Berry curvature across the phase boundary. $alpha$-Mn can be an elemental and tunable platform to reveal the role of Berry curvature in AHE.
We report the first high-field x-ray diffraction experiment using synchrotron x-rays and pulsed magnetic fields exceeding 30 T. Lattice deformation due to a magnetic-field-induced valence transition in YbInCu4 is studied. It has been found that the B
ragg reflection profile at 32 K changes significantly at around 27 T due to the structural transition. In the vicinity of the transition field the low-field and the high-field phases are observed simultaneously as the two distinct Bragg reflection peaks: This is a direct evidence of the fact that the field-induced valence state transition is the first order phase transition. The field-dependence of the low-field-phase Bragg peak intensity is found to be scaled with the magnetization.
Different instabilities have been speculated for a three-dimensional electron gas confined to its lowest Landau level. The phase transition induced in graphite by a strong magnetic field, and believed to be a Charge Density Wave (CDW), is the only ex
perimentally established case of such instabilities. Studying the magnetoresistance in graphite for the first time up to 80 T, we find that the magnetic field induces two successive phase transitions, consisting of two distinct ordered states each restricted to a finite field window. In both states, an energy gap opens up in the out-of-plane conductivity and coexists with an unexpected in-plane metallicity for a fully gap bulk system. Such peculiar metallicity may arise as a consequence of edge-state transport expected to develop in presence of a bulk gap.
