The quasi two-dimensional magnetic BaNi$_{2}$V$_{2}$O$_{8}$ is studied by using high-resolution thermal expansion in magnetic fields up to 10 T applied along the c-axis. A slight increase of about 1 % of the three-dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering temperature $T_N$ is observed at 10 T. Positive and negative pressure dependencies of $T_N$, respectively, are inferred from the thermal expansion $alpha(T)$ for pressures applied along the $a$- and $c$-axes.

We have studied the magnetization and magnetoresistance of CeRu2Al10 in the applied magnetic field H along the c-axis up to ~ 55 T. The magnetization M at low temperatures shows an H-linear increase with a small slope of M/H than that for H // a-axis up to ~ 55 T after showing a small anomaly at H ~ 4 T, which indicates that the critical field to the paramagnetic phase H_c^p is higher than 55 T for H // c-axis. The magnetization curves for H // a- and c-axes below the antiferro magnetic (AFM) transition temperature T0 behave as if the magnetic anisotropy in the AFM-ordered phase is small, although there exists a large magnetic anisotropy in the paramagnetic phase, which favors the easy magnetization axis along the a-axis. On the other hand, very recently, Khalyavin et al. have reported that the AFM order where the magnetic moment is parallel to the c-axis takes place below T0. These results indicate that the AFM order in this compound is not a simple one. The longitudinal magnetoresistance for H // c-axis at low temperatures shows no anomaly originating from the phase transition, but shows oscillations below 4.2 K. This oscillatory behavior below 4.2 K originates from the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, from which the cross section of the Fermi surface normal to the c-axis is estimated to be 1.0*10^14 cm-2, with no large effective mass. This is the first direct evidence of the existence of the Fermi surface below T0.

We explore the spin states in the quantum spin chain compound SrCo$_{2}$V$_{2}$O$_{8}$ up to 14.9 T and down to 50 mK, using single-crystal neutron diffraction. Upon cooling in zero-field, antiferromagnetic (AFM) order of Neel type develops at $T_mat hrm{{N}}$ $simeq$ 5.0 K. Applying an external magnetic field ($H$ $parallel$ $c$-axis) destabilizes the Neel order, leading to an order-disorder transition when applying a field between $T_mathrm{{N}}$ and $sim$ 1.5 K. Below 1.5 K, we observe a Neel to longitudinal spin density wave (LSDW) order transition at 3.9 T, and a LSDW to emergent AFM order transition at 7.0 T. Our results also reveal several unique signatures for the states of the spins that are not present in the isostructural counterpart BaCo$_{2}$V$_{2}$O$_{8}$.
We report a combined $^{115}$In NQR, $^{51}$V NMR and $mu$SR spectroscopic study of the low-temperature magnetic properties of InCu$_{2/3}$V$_{1/3}$O$_3$, a quasi-two dimensional (2D) compound comprising in the spin sector a honeycomb lattice of anti ferromagnetically coupled spins $S=1/2$ associated with Cu$^{2+}$ ions. Despite substantial experimental and theoretical efforts, the ground state of this material was has not been ultimately identified. In particular, two characteristic temperatures of about $sim 40$ K and $sim 20$ K manifesting themselves as anomalies in different magnetic measurements are discussed controversially. A combined analysis of the experimental data complemented with theoretical calculations of exchange constants enabled us to identify below 39 K an ``intermediate quasi-2D static spin state. This spin state is characterized by a staggered magnetization with a temperature evolution that agrees with the predictions for the 2D XY model. We observe that this state gradually transforms at 15 K into a fully developed 3D antiferromagnetic Neel state. We ascribe such an extended quasi-2D static regime to an effective magnetic decoupling of the honeycomb planes due to a strong frustration of the interlayer exchange interactions which inhibits long-range spin-spin correlations across the planes. Interestingly, we find indications of the topological Berezinsky-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in the quasi-2D static state of the honeycomb spin-1/2 planes of InCu$_{2/3}$V$_{1/3}$O$_3$.
High field electron spin resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetization studies addressing the ground state of the quasi two-dimensional spin-1/2 honeycomb lattice compound InCu{2/3}V{1/3}O{3} are reported. Uncorrelated finite size structura l domains occurring in the honeycomb planes are expected to inhibit long range magnetic order. Surprisingly, ESR data reveal the development of two collinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) sublattices below ~ 20 K whereas NMR results show the presence of the staggered internal field. Magnetization data evidence a spin reorientation transition at ~ 5.7 T. Quantum Monte-Carlo calculations show that switching on the coupling between the honeycomb spin planes in a finite size cluster yields a Neel-like AFM spin structure with a substantial staggered magnetization at finite temperatures. This may explain the occurrence of a robust AFM state in InCu{2/3}V{1/3}O{3} despite an unfavorable effect of structural disorder.
High-field magnetization of the spin-$1/2$ antiferromagnet $alpha$-Cu$_2$V$_2$O$_7$ was measured in pulsed magnetic fields of up to 56 T in order to study its magnetic phase diagram. When the field was applied along the easy axis (the $a$-axis), two distinct transitions were observed at $H_{c1}=6.5$~T and $H_{c2}=18.0$~T. The former is a spin-flop transition typical for a collinear antiferromagnet and the latter is believed to be a spin-flip transition of canted moments. The canted moments, which are induced by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, anti-align for $H_{c1}<H<H_{c2}$ due to the anisotropic exchange interaction that favors the antiferromagnetic arrangement along the $a$-axis. Above $H_{c2}$, the Zeeman energy of the applied field overcomes the antiferromagnetic anisotropic interaction and the canted moments are aligned along the field direction. Density functional theory was employed to compute the exchange interactions, which were used as inputs for quantum Monte Carlo calculations and then further refined by fitting to the magnetic susceptibility data. Contrary to our previous report in Phys. Rev. B {bf 92}, 024423, the dominant exchange interaction is between the third nearest-neighbor spins, which form zigzag spin-chains that are coupled with one another through an intertwining network of the nonnegligible nearest and second nearest-neighbor interactions. In addition, elastic neutron scattering under the applied magnetic fields of up to 10 T reveals the incommensurate helical spin structure in the spin-flop state.
