Two members of the iso-structural R$_2$CoGa$_8$ inter-metallic series, Er$_2$CoGa$_8$ and Tm$_2$CoGa$_8$, have been studied by powder neutron diffraction. Antiferromagnetic ordering of the rare-earth sublattices was confirmed to occur at 3.0 K and 2.0 K, respectively. Furthermore, determination of the critical exponent showed Er$_2$CoGa$_8$ to adopt a 3D universality class. In spite of a common magnetic easy axis and similar structural characteristics, the antiferromagnetic structures were found to be different for the erbium and thulium based compounds. The corresponding magnetic space groups were determined to be $P_{2a}mmm$ and $P_Cmmm$. The difference in magnetic structures is discussed based on crystal electric field effects that are known to be prevalent in such materials.

We report on single crystal growth and crystallographic parameters results of Ce$_2$PdIn$_8$, Ce$_3$PdIn$_{11}$, Ce$_2$PtIn$_8$ and Ce$_3$PtIn$_{11}$. The Pt-systems Ce$_2$PtIn$_8$ and Ce$_3$PtIn$_{11}$ are synthesized for the first time. All these c
ompounds are member of the Ce$_n$T$_m$In$_{3n+2m}$ (n = 1, 2,..; m = 1, 2,.. and T = transition metal) to which the extensively studied heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn$_5$ belongs. Single crystals have been grown by In self-flux method. Differential scanning calorimetry studies were used to derive optimal growth conditions. Evidently, the maximum growth conditions for these materials should not exceed 750 $^{circ}$C. Single crystal x-ray data show that Ce$_2$TIn$_8$ compounds crystallize in the tetragonal Ho$_2$CoGa$_8$ phase (space group P4/mmm) with lattice parameters a =4.6898(3) $AA$ and c =12.1490(8) $AA$ for the Pt-based one (Pd: a = 4.6881(4) $AA$ and c = 12.2031(8) AA). The Ce$_3$TIn$_{11}$ compounds adopt the Ce$_3$PdIn$_{11}$ structure with a = 4.6874(4) $AA$ and c = 16.8422(12) $AA$ for the Pt-based one (Pd: a = 4.6896 $AA$ and c = 16.891 AA). Specific heat experiments on Ce$_3$PtIn$_{11}$ and Ce$_3$PdIn$_{11}$ have revealed that both compounds undergo two successive magnetic transitions at T$_1$ ~ 2.2 K followed by T$_N$ ~ 2.0 K and T$_1$ ~ 1.7 K and T$_N$ ~ 1.5 K, respectively. Additionally, both compounds exhibit enhanced Sommerfeld coefficients yielding {gamma}$_{Pt}$ = 0.300 J/mol K$^2$ Ce ({gamma}$_{Pd}$ = 0.290 J/mol K$^2$ Ce), hence qualifying them as heavy fermion materials.
X-ray diffraction with photon energies near the Ru L$_2$-absorption edge was used to detect resonant reflections characteristic of a G-type superstructure in RuSr$_2$GdCu$_2$O$_8$ single crystals. A polarization analysis confirms that these reflectio
ns are due to magnetic order of Ru moments, and the azimuthal-angle dependence of the scattering amplitude reveals that the moments lie along a low-symmetry axis with substantial components parallel and perpendicular to the RuO$_2$ layers. Complemented by susceptibility data and a symmetry analysis of the magnetic structure, these results reconcile many of the apparently contradictory findings reported in the literature.
We revisited the anisotropy of the heavy-fermion material CeCo$_2$Ga$_8$ by measuring the electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility along all the principal $mathbf{a}$-, $mathbf{b}$- and $mathbf{c}$-axes. Resistivity along $mathbf{c}$-axis (
$rho_c$) shows clear Kondo coherence below about 17 K, while both $rho_{a}$ and $rho_{b}$ remain incoherent down to 2 K. The magnetic anisotropy is well understood within the theoretical frame of crystalline electric field effect in combination with magnetic exchange interactions. We found the anisotropy ratio of these magnetic exchange interactions, $|J_{ex}^c/J_{ex}^{a,b}|$, reaches a large value of 4-5. We, therefore, firmly demonstrate that CeCo$_2$Ga$_8$ is a quasi-one-dimensional heavy-fermion compound both electrically and magnetically, and thus provide a realistic example of textit{Kondo chain}.
Impurity effect is systematically studied in doped Haldane material Pb(Ni$_{1-x}$$M_x$)$_2$V$_2$O$_8$ ($M$ = Mn, Co, Cu, and Mg) by use of DC and AC susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements. The occurrence of three-dimensional ordered state is
universally observed for all the impurities and the complete temperature -- concentration phase diagrams are obtained, which are qualitatively similar to that in other spin-gap materials. The unique feature is found in the drastic dependence of the transition temperatures on the species of the impurities. The consideration of effective Hamiltonian based on VBS model makes it clear that the ferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interaction and the antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor interaction between impurity and edge spins play a key role in the unique feature.
The intermetallic compound PFA that possesses a three-dimensional network structure of Al polyhedra centered at the transition metal element Fe and the rare earth Pr is investigated through neutron powder diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering
in order to elucidate the magnetic ground state of Pr and Fe and the crystal field effects of Pr. Our neutron diffraction study confirms long-range magnetic order of Pr below $T_N $ = 4.5~K in this compound. Subsequent magnetic structure estimation reveals a magnetic propagation vector $k$ = ($frac{1}{2}$~0~$frac{1}{2}$) with a magnetic moment value of 2.5~$mu_mathrm{B}$/Pr along the orthorhombic $c$-axis and evidence the lack of ordering in the Fe sublattice. The inelastic neutron scattering study reveals one crystalline electric field excitation near 19~meV at 5~K in PFA. The energy-integrated intensity of the 19~meV excitation as a function of |$Q$| $(A^{-1})$ follows the square of the magnetic form factor of Pr$^{3+}$ thereby confirming that the inelastic excitation belongs to the Pr sublattice. The second sum rule applied to the dynamic structure factor indicates only 1.6(2)~$mu_mathrm{B}$ evolving at the 19~meV peak compared to the 3.58~$mu_mathrm{B}$ for free Pr$^{3+}$, indicating that the crystal field ground state is magnetic and the missing moment is associated with the resolution limited quasi-elastic line. The magnetic order occurring in Pr in PFA is counter-intuitive to the symmetry-allowed crystal field level scheme, hence, is suggestive of exchange-mediated mechanisms of ordering stemming from the magnetic ground state of the crystal field levels.
