We study the low-temperature heat transport of HoMnO_3 single crystals to probe the magnetic structures and their transitions induced by magnetic field. It is found that the low-T thermal conductivity (kappa) shows very strong magnetic-field dependence, with the strongest suppression of nearly 90% and the biggest increase of 20 times of kappa compared to its zero-field value. In particular, some ``dip-like features show up in kappa(H) isotherms for field along both the ab plane and the c axis. These behaviors are found to shed new light on the complex H-T phase diagram and the field-induced re-orientations of Mn^{3+} and Ho^{3+} spin structures. The results also demonstrate a significant spin-phonon coupling in this multiferroic compound.

To study the effects of paramagnetic spins on phonons, both the in-plane and the c-axis heat transport of GdBaCo_{2}O_{5+x} (GBCO) single crystals are measured at low temperature down to 0.36 K and in magnetic field up to 16 T. It is found that the p
honon heat transport is very strongly affected by the magnetic field and nearly 5 times increase of the thermal conductivity in several Tesla field is observed at 0.36 K. It appears that phonons are resonantly scattered by paramagnetic spins in zero field and the application of magnetic field removes such strong scattering, but the detailed mechanism is to be elucidated.
In intercalated transition metal dichalcogenide $Fe_xTaS_2$ (0.2 $leq$ x $leq$ 0.4) single crystals, large magnetic anisotropy is observed. Transport property measurements indicate that heavy Fe-doping leads to a large anisotropy of resistivity ($rho
$$_{c}$/$rho$$_{ab}$). A sharp M-H hysteresis curve is observed with magnetic field along c-axis, while a linear magnetization appears with magnetic field applied in the ab-plane. The angular dependent magnetic susceptibility from in-plane to out-of-plane indicates that magnetic moments are strongly pinned along the c-axis in an unconventional manner and the coercive field reaches as large as 6 T at T = 5 K. First-principles calculation clearly suggests that the strong spin-orbital coupling give rise to such a large anisotropy of magnetism. The strong pinning effect of magnetic moments along c-axis makes this material a very promising candidate for the development of spin-aligner in spintronics devices.
The chiral helimagnet Cr1/3NbS2 has been investigated by magnetic, transport and thermal properties measurements on single crystals and by first principles electronic structure calculations. From the measured field and temperature dependence of the m
agnetization for fields applied perpendicular to the c axis, the magnetic phase diagram has been constructed in the vicinity of the phase transitions. A transition from a paramagnetic to a magnetically ordered phase occurs near 120 K. With increasing magnetic field and at temperatures below 120 K, this material undergoes transitions from a helimagnetic to a soliton-lattice phase near 900 Oe, and then to a ferromagnetic phase near 1300 Oe. The transitions are found to strongly affect the electrical transport. The resistivity decreases sharply upon cooling near 120 K, and the spin reorientation from the helimagnetic ground state to the commensurate ferromagnetic state is evident in the magnetoresistance. At high fields a large magnetoresistance (55 % at 140 kOe) is observed near the magnetic transition temperature. Heat capacity and electronic structure calculations show the density of states at the Fermi level is low in the magnetically ordered state. Effects of spin fluctuations are likely important in understanding the behavior of Cr1/3NbS2 near and above the magnetic ordering transitions.
Detailed anisotropic (H$parallel$ab and H$parallel$c) resistivity and specific heat measurements were performed on online-grown YbPtIn and solution-grown YbPt$_{0.98}$In single crystals for temperatures down to 0.4 K, and fields up to 140 kG; H$paral
lel$ab Hall resistivity was also measured on the YbPt$_{0.98}$In system for the same temperature and field ranges. All these measurements indicate that the small change in stoichiometry between the two compounds drastically affects their ordering temperatures (T$_{ord}approx3.4$ K in YbPtIn, and $sim2.2$ K in YbPt$_{0.98}$In). Furthermore, a field-induced quantum critical point is apparent in each of these heavy fermion systems, with the corresponding critical field values of YbPt$_{0.98}$In (H$^{ab}_c$ around 35-45 kG and H$^{c}_capprox120$ kG) also reduced compared to the analogous values for YbPtIn (H$^{ab}_capprox60$ kG and H$^{c}_c>140$ kG)
The effects of Ni doping in Eu(Co{1-x}Ni{x})2As2 single crystals with x =0 to 1 grown out of self flux are investigated via crystallographic, electronic transport, magnetic, and thermal measurements. All compositions adopt the body-centered-tetragona
l ThCr2Si2 structure with space group I4/mmm. We also find 3-4% of randomly-distributed vacancies on the Co/Ni site. Anisotropic magnetic susceptibility chi(T) data versus temperature T show clear signatures of an antiferromagnetic (AFM) c-axis helix structure associated with the Eu{+2} spins-7/2 for x = 0 and x = 1 as previously reported. The chi(T) data for x = 0.03 and 0.10 suggest an anomalous 2q magnetic structure containing two helix axes along the c axis and in the ab plane, respectively, whereas for x = 0.75 and 0.82, a c-axis helix is inferred as previously found for x = 0 and 1. At intermediate compositions x = 0.2, 0.32, 0.42, 0.54, and 0.65 a magnetic structure with a large ferromagnetic (FM) c-axis component is found from magnetization versus field isotherms, suggested to be an incommensurate FM cone structure associated with the Eu spins, which consists of both AFM and FM components. In addition, the chi(T) and heat capacity data for x = 0.2--0.65 indicate the occurrence of itinerant FM order associated with the Co/Ni atoms with Curie temperatures from 60 K to 25 K, respectively. Electrical resistivity measurements indicate metallic character for all compositions with abrupt increases in slope on cooling below the Eu AFM transition temperatures. In addition to this panoply of magnetic transitions, {151}Eu Mossbauer measurements indicate that ordering of the Eu moments proceeds via an incommensurate sine amplitude-modulated structure with additional transition temperatures associated with this effect.
