We have studied the thermal conductivity $kappa$ on single crystalline samples of the antiferromagnetic monolayer cuprates R$_2$CuO$_4$ with R = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, and Gd. For a heat current within the CuO$_2$ planes, i.e. for $kappa_{ab}$ we find high-temperature anomalies around 250 K in all samples. In contrast, the thermal conductivity $kappa_c$ perpendicular to the CuO$_2$ planes, which we measured for R = La, Pr, and Gd, shows a conventional temperature dependence as expected for a purely phononic thermal conductivity. This qualitative anisotropy of $kappa_i$ and the anomalous temperature dependence of $kappa_{ab}$ give evidence for a significant magnetic contribution $kappa_{mag}$ to the heat transport within the CuO$_2$ planes. Our results suggest, that a large magnetic contribution to the heat current is a common feature of single-layer cuprates. We find that $kappa_{mag}$ is hardly affected by structural instabilities, whereas already weak charge carrier doping causes a strong suppression of $kappa_{mag}$.

We have investigated the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility $chi(T)$ of rare-earth cobaltites RCoO$_3$ (R= La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu) in the temperature range $4.2-300$ K and also the influence of hydrostatic pressure up to 2 kbar on thei
r susceptibility at fixed temperatures $T=78 $ and 300 K. The specific dependence $chi(T)$ observed in LaCoO$_3$ and the anomalously large pressure effect (d ln $chi$/d$Psim -100$ Mbar$^{-1}$ for $T = 78$ K) are analyzed in the framework of a two-level model with energy levels difference $Delta$. The ground state of the system is assumed to be nonmagnetic with the zero spin of Co$^{3+}$ ions, and magnetism at a finite temperature is determined by the excited magnetic spin state. The results of the analysis, supplemented by theoretical calculations of the electronic structure of LaCoO$_3$, indicate a significant increase in $Delta$ with a decrease in the unit cell volume under the hydrostatic pressure. In the series of RCoO$_3$ (R= Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu) compounds, the volume of crystal cell decreases monotonically due to a decrease in the radius of R$^{3+}$ ions. This leads to an increase in the relative energy $Delta$ of the excited state (the chemical pressure effect), which manifests itself in a decrease in the contribution of cobalt ions to the magnetic susceptibility at a fixed temperature, and also in a decrease in the hydrostatic pressure effect on the susceptibility of RCoO$_3$ compounds, which we have observed at $T=300$ K.
The direct correspondence between Co band ferromagnetism and structural parameters is investigated in the pnictide oxides $R$CoPO for different rare-earth ions ($R$ = La, Pr, Nd, Sm) by means of muon-spin spectroscopy and {it ab-initio} calculations,
complementing our results published previously [G. Prando {it et al.}, {it Phys. Rev. B} {bf 87}, 064401 (2013)]. Both the transition temperature to the ferromagnetic phase $T_{_{textrm{C}}}$ and the volume of the crystallographic unit cell $V$ are found to be conveniently tuned by the $R$ ionic radius and/or external pressure. A linear correlation between $T_{_{textrm{C}}}$ and $V$ is reported and {it ab-initio} calculations unambiguously demonstrate a full equivalence of chemical and external pressures. As such, $R$ ions are shown to be influencing the ferromagnetic phase only via the induced structural shrinkage without involving any active role from the electronic $f$ degrees of freedom, which are only giving a sizeable magnetic contribution at much lower temperatures.
We present measurements of the thermal expansion coefficient $alpha$ of polycrystalline RFeAsO (R = La,Ce,Pr,Sm,Gd). Anomalies at the magnetic ordering transitions indicate a significant magneto-elastic coupling and a negative pressure dependence of
$T_{rm N}$ . The structural transitions are associated by large anomalies in $alpha$. Rare earth magnetic ordering in CeFeAsO, PrFeAsO, and SmFeAsO yields large positive anomalies at low temperatures.
The antiferromagnetic transition is investigated in the rare-earth (R) tritelluride RTe3 family of charge density wave (CDW) compounds via specific heat, magnetization and resistivity measurements. Observation of the opening of a superzone gap in the
resistivity of DyTe3 indicates that additional nesting of the reconstructed Fermi surface in the CDW state plays an important role in determining the magnetic structure.
We report the single crystal growth and anisotropic magnetic properties of the tetragonal RAg$_2$Ge$_2$ (R = Pr, Nd and Sm) compounds which crystallize in the ThCr$_2$Si$_2$ type crystal structure with the space group textit{I4/mmm}. The single cryst
als of RAg$_2$Ge$_2$ (R = Pr, Nd and Sm) were grown by self-flux method using Ag:Ge binary alloy as flux. From the magnetic studies on single crystalline samples we have found that PrAg$_2$Ge$_2$ and NdAg$_2$Ge$_2$ order antiferromagnetically at 12 K and 2 K respectively, thus corroborating the earlier polycrystalline results. SmAg$_2$Ge$_2$ also orders antiferromagnetically at 9.2 K. The magnetic susceptibility and magnetization show a large anisotropy and the easy axis of magnetization for PrAg$_2$Ge$_2$ and NdAg$_2$Ge$_2$ is along the [100] direction where as it changes to [001] direction for SmAg$_2$Ge$_2$. Two metamagnetic transitions were observed in NdAg$_2$Ge$_2$ at $H_{rm m1}$ = 1.25 T and $H_{rm m2}$ =3.56 T for the field parallel to [100] direction where as the magnetization along [001] direction was linear indicating the hard axis of magnetization.
