Single-phase multiferroic materials are usually considered useless because of the weak magnetoelectric effects, low operating temperature, and small electric polarization induced by magnetic orders. As a result, current studies on applications of the magnetoelectric effects are mainly focusing on multiferroic heterostructures and composites. Here we report a room-temperature giant effect in response to external magnetic fields in single-phase multiferroics. A low magnetic field of 1000 Oe applied on the spin-driven multiferroic hexaferrites BaSrCo2Fe11AlO22 and Ba0.9Sr1.1Co2Fe11AlO22 is able to cause a huge change in the linear magnetoelectric coefficient by several orders, leading to a giant magnetotranstance (GMT) effect at room temperature. The GMT effect is comparable to the well-known giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect in magnetic multilayers, and thus opens up a door toward practical applications for single-phase multiferroics.

The structural phase transitions of MF$_3$ (M=Al, Cr, V, Fe, Ti, Sc) metal trifluorides are studied within a simple Landau theory consisting of tilts of rigid MF$_6$ octahedra associated with soft antiferrodistoritive optic modes that are coupled to
long-wavelength strain generating acoustic phonons. We calculate the temperature and pressure dependence of several quantities such as the spontaneous distortions, volume expansion and shear strains as well as $T-P$ phase diagrams. By contrasting our model to experiments we quantify the deviations from mean-field behavior and found that the tilt fluctuations of the MF$_6$ octahedra increase with metal cation size. We apply our model to predict giant barocaloric effects in Sc substituted TiF$_3$ of up to about $15,$JK$^{-1}$kg$^{-1}$ for modest hydrostatic compressions of $0.2,$GPa. The effect extends over a wide temperature range of over $140,$K (including room temperature) due to a large predicted rate $dT_c/dP = 723,$K GPa$^{-1}$, which exceeds those of typical barocaloric materials. Our results suggest that open lattice frameworks such as the trifluorides are an attractive platform to search for giant barocaloric effects.
Weyl semimetals (WSM) have been extensively studied due to their exotic properties such as topological surface states and anomalous transport phenomena. Their band structure topology is usually predetermined by material parameters and can hardly be m
anipulated once the material is formed. Their unique transport properties appear usually at very low temperature, which sets challenges for practical device applications. In this work, we demonstrate a way to modify the band topology via a weak magnetic field in a ferromagnetic topological semimetal, Co2MnAl, at room temperature. We observe a tunable, giant anomalous Hall effect, which is induced by the transition between Weyl points and nodal rings as rotating the magnetization axis. The anomalous Hall conductivity is as large as that of a 3D quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE), with the Hall angle reaching a record value (21%) at the room temperature among magnetic conductors. Furthermore, we propose a material recipe to generate the giant anomalous Hall effect by gaping nodal rings without requiring the existence of Weyl points. Our work reveals an ideal intrinsically magnetic platform to explore the interplay between magnetic dynamics and topological physics for the development of a new generation of spintronic devices.
Materials with negative thermal expansion (NTE), which contract upon heating, are of great interest both technically and fundamentally. Here, we report giant NTE covering room temperature in mechanically milled antiperovksite GaNxMn3 compounds. The m
icrograin GaNxMn3 exhibits a large volume contraction at the antiferromagnetic (AFM) to paramagnetic (PM) (AFM-PM) transition within a temperature window ({Delta}T) of only a few kelvins. The grain size reduces to ~ 30 nm after slight milling, while {Delta}T is broadened to 50K. The corresponding coefficient of linear thermal expansion ({alpha}) reaches ~ -70 ppm/K, which is almost two times larger than those obtained in chemically doped antiperovskite compounds. Further reducing grain size to ~ 10 nm, {Delta}T exceeds 100 K and {alpha} remains as large as -30 ppm/K (-21 ppm/K) for x = 1.0 (x = 0.9). Excess atomic displacements together with the reduced structural coherence, revealed by high-energy X-ray pair distribution functions, are suggested to delay the AFM-PM transition. By controlling the grain size via mechanically alloying or grinding, giant NTE may also be achievable in other materials with large lattice contraction due to electronic or magnetic phase transitions.
Thermal switching provides an effective way for active heat flow control, which has recently attracted increasing attention in terms of nanoscale thermal management technologies. In magnetic and spintronic materials, the thermal conductivity depends
on the magnetization configuration: this is the magneto-thermal resistance effect. Here we show that an epitaxial Cu/Co$_{50}$Fe$_{50}$ multilayer film exhibits giant magnetic-field-induced modulation of the cross-plane thermal conductivity. The magneto-thermal resistance ratio for the Cu/Co$_{50}$Fe$_{50}$ multilayer reaches 150% at room temperature, which is much larger than the previous record high. Although the ratio decreases with increasing the temperature, the giant magneto-thermal resistance effect of ~100% still appears up to 400 K. The magnetic field dependence of the thermal conductivity of the Cu/Co$_{50}$Fe$_{50}$ multilayer was observed to be about twice greater than that of the cross-plane electrical conductivity. The observation of the giant magneto-thermal resistance effect clarifies a potential of spintronic multilayers as thermal switching devices.
Caloric responses (temperature changes) can be induced in solid-state materials by applying external stimuli such as stress, pressure, and electric and magnetic fields. The magnetic-field-stimulated response is called the magnetocaloric effect, and m
aterials that exhibit this property have long been sought for applications in room temperature magnetic cooling due to their potentially superior efficiency and low impact on the environment. Other solid-state caloric phenomena are less developed, but are likewise under intense investigation. Here we introduce a new material that not only displays giant barocaloric (hydrostatic-pressure-induced) properties, but also a large magnetocaloric response near room temperature. It is unprecedented that two caloric effects of such extreme magnitude occur in the same material and at the same temperature. These effects originate from a magnetostructural transition and a magneto-volume (magnetostriction) effect where the volume change is large enough to force the system from a localized ordered state into an itinerant paramagnetic state.
