The crystal and magnetic structures of the orthorhombic e-Fe2O3 have been studied by simultaneous Rietveld refinement of X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data in combination with Mossbauer spectroscopy, as well as magnetisation and heat capacity measurements. It has been found that above 150 K the e-Fe2O3 polymorph is a collinear ferrimagnet with the magnetic moments directed along the a axis, while the magnetic ordering below 80 K is characterised by a square-wave incommensurate structure. The transformation between these two states is a second order phase transition and involves subtle structural changes mostly affecting the coordination of the tetrahedral and one of the octahedral Fe sites. The temperature dependence of the e-Fe2O3 magnetic properties is discussed in the light of these results.

Neutron powder diffraction studies of the crystal and magnetic structures of the magnetocaloric compound Mn1.1Fe0.9(P0.8Ge0.2) have been carried out as a function of temperature, applied magnetic field, and pressure. The data reveal that there is onl y one transition observed over the entire range of variables explored, which is a combined magnetic and structural transformation between the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phases (Tc~255 K for this composition). The structural part of the transition is associated with an expansion of the hexagonal unit cell in the direction of the a- and b-axes and a contraction of the c-axis as the FM phase is formed, which originates from an increase in the intra-layer metal-metal bond distance. The application of pressure is found to have an adverse effect on the formation of the FM phase since pressure opposes the expansion of the lattice and hence decreases Tc. The application of a magnetic field, on the other hand, has the expected effect of enhancing the FM phase and increasing Tc. We find that the substantial range of temperature/field/pressure coexistence of the PM and FM phases observed is due to compositional variations in the sample. In-situ high temperature diffraction measurements were carried out to explore this issue, and reveal a coexisting liquid phase at high temperatures that is the origin of this variation. We show that this range of coexisting phases can be substantially reduced by appropriate heat treatment to improve the sample homogeneity.

Magnetotransport properties of ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As have been investigated. Measurements at low temperature (50 mK) and high magnetic field (<= 27 T) have been employed in order to determine the hole concentration p = 3.5x10^20 cm ^- 3 of a metallic (Ga0.947Mn0.053)As layer. The analysis of the temperature and magnetic field dependencies of the resistivity in the paramagnetic region was performed with the use of the above value of p, which gave the magnitude of p-d exchange energy |N0beta | ~ 1.5 eV.

One-dimensional Ni/Ni3C core-shell nanoball chains with an average diameter by around 30 nm were synthesized by means of a mild chemical solution method using a soft template of trioctylphosphineoxide (TOPO). It was revealed that the uniform Ni nanoc hains were capped with Ni3C thin shells by about 1 to 4 nm in thickness and each Ni core consists of polygrains. The coercivity of the core-shell nanochains is much enhanced (600 Oe at 5 K) and comparable with single Ni nanowires due to the one-dimensional shape anisotropy. Deriving from the distinctive structure of Ni core and Ni3C shell, this architecture may possess a possible bi-functionality. This unique architecture is also useful for the study on the magnetization reversal mechanism of one-dimensional magnetic nanostructure.

We present resistivity, specific heat and magnetization measurements in high quality single crystals of HoBi, with a residual resistivity ratio of 126. We find, from the temperature and field dependence of the magnetization, an antiferromagnetic tran sition at 5.7 K, which evolves, under magnetic fields, into a series of up to five metamagnetic phases.
A series of pentanuclear heterometallic coordination compounds of the general formula (Bu 4 N) 5 [Ln{Os(NO)($mu$-ox)-Cl 3 } 4 (H 2 O) n ] [Ln = Y (for 2) and Dy (for 3) when n = 0; Ln = Dy (for 3), Tb (for 4), and Gd (for 5) when n = 1] were synthesi zed by the reaction of the precursor (Bu 4 N) 2 [Os(NO)(ox)-Cl 3 ] (1) with the respective lanthanide(III) (Gd, Tb, Dy) or yttrium(III) chloride. For the five new complexes, the coordination numbers eight or nine are found for the central metal ion. The compounds were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and ESI mass spectrometry. In addition, compound 1 was studied by UV/Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The X-ray dif-fraction analyses revealed that the anionic complexes consist of a lanthanide or yttrium core bridged through oxalato li-gands to four octahedral osmium-nitrosyl moieties. This picture , in which the central ion is eight-coordinate, holds for
