Ordered double perovskite oxides of the general formula, A2BBO6, have been known for several decades to have interesting electronic and magnetic properties. However, a recent report of a spectacular negative magnetoresistance effect in a specific member of this family, namely Sr2FeMoO6, has brought this class of compounds under intense scrutiny. It is now believed that the origin of magnetism in this class of compounds is based on a novel kinetically-driven mechanism. This new mechanism is also likely to be responsible for the unusually high temperature ferromagnetism in several other systems, such as dilute magnetic semiconductors, as well as in various half-metallic ferromagnetic systems, such as Heussler alloys.

We have investigated the electronic and magnetic structures of Sr2FeMoO6 employing site-specific direct probes, namely x-ray absorption spectroscopy with linearly and circularly polarized photons. In contrast to some previous suggestions, the results
clearly establish that Fe is in the formal trivalent state in this compound. With the help of circularly polarized light, it is unambiguously shown that the moment at the Mo sites is below the limit of detection (< 0.25mu_B), resolving a previous controversy. We also show that the decrease of the observed moment in magnetization measurements from the theoretically expected value is driven by the presence of mis-site disorder between Fe and Mo sites.
We report temperature (T) dependence of dc magnetization, electrical resistivity (rho(T)), and heat-capacity of rare-earth (R) compounds, Gd3RuSn6 and Tb3RuSn6, which are found to crystallize in the Yb3CoSn6-type orthorhombic structure (space group:
Cmcm). The results establish that there is an onset of antiferromagnetic order near (T_N) 19 and 25 K respectively. In addition, we find that there is another magnetic transition for both the cases around 14 and 17 K respectively. In the case of the Gd compound, the spin-scattering contribution to rho is found to increase below 75 K as the material is cooled towards T_N, thereby resulting in a minimum in the plot of rho(T) unexpected for Gd based systems. Isothermal magnetization at 1.8 K reveals an upward curvature around 50 kOe. Isothermal magnetoresistance plots show interesting anomalies in the magnetically ordered state. There are sign reversals in the plot of isothermal entropy change versus T in the magnetically ordered state, indicating subtle changes in the spin reorientation with T. The results reveal that these compounds exhibit interesting magnetic properties.
Electrical control of spin polarization is very desirable in spintronics, since electric field can be easily applied locally in contrast with magnetic field. Here, we propose a new concept of bipolar magnetic semiconductor (BMS) in which completely s
pin-polarized currents with reversible spin polarization can be created and controlled simply by applying a gate voltage. This is a result of the unique electronic structure of BMS, where the valence and conduction bands possess opposite spin polarization when approaching the Fermi level. Our band structure and spin-polarized electronic transport calculations on semi-hydrogenated single-walled carbon nanotubes confirm the existence of BMS materials and demonstrate the electrical control of spin-polarization in them.
We report results of susceptibility chi and 7Li NMR measurements on LiVSi2O6. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility chi(T) exhibits a broad maximum, typical for low-dimensional magnetic systems. Quantitatively it is in agreement w
ith the expectation for an S=1 spin chain, represented by the structural arrangement of V ions. The NMR results indicate antiferromagnetic ordering below T_N=24 K. The intra- and interchain coupling J and J_p for LiVSi2O6, and also for its sister compounds LiVGe2O6, NaVSi2O6 and NaVGe2O6, are obtained via a modified random phase approximation which takes into account results of quantum Monte Carlo calculations. While J_p is almost constant across the series, J varies by a factor of 5, decreasing with increasing lattice constant along the chain direction. The comparison between experimental and theoretical susceptibility data suggests the presence of an easy-axis magnetic anisotropy, which explains the formation of an energy gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum below T_N, indicated by the variation of the NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate at T << T_N.
Skyrmions, topologically protected vortex-like nanometric spin textures in magnets, have been attracting increasing attention for emergent electromagnetic responses and possible technological applications for spintronics. In particular, metallic magn
ets with chiral and cubic/tetragonal crystal structure may have high potential to host skyrmions that can be driven by low electrical current excitation. However, experimental observations of skyrmions have so far been limited to below room temperature for the metallic chiral magnets, specifically for the MnSi-type B20 compounds. Toward technological applications, it is crucial to transcend this limitation. Here we demonstrate the formation of skyrmions with unique spin helicity both at and above room temperature in a family of cubic chiral magnets: beta-Mn-type Co-Zn-Mn alloys with a different chiral space group from that of B20 compounds. Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM), magnetization, and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements unambiguously reveal the formation of a skyrmion crystal under the application of magnetic field (H<~1 kOe) in both thin- plate (thickness<150 nm) and bulk forms.
