The cobalt and iron clusters CoN, FeN (20 < N < 150) measured in a cryogenic molecular beam are found to be bistable with magnetic moments per atom both {mu}N/N 2{mu}B in the ground states and {mu}N */N {mu}B in the metastable excited states (for iron clusters, {mu}N ~3N{mu}B and {mu}N* N{mu}B). This energy gap between the two states vanish for large clusters, which explains the rapid convergence of the magnetic moments to the bulk value and suggests that ground state for the bulk involves a superposition of the two, in line with the fluctuating local orders in the bulk itinerant ferromagnetism.

Doping of the band insulator FeS$_2$ with Co on the Fe site introduces a small density of itinerant carriers and magnetic moments. The lattice constant, AC and DC magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, and specific heat have been measured over the $
0le xle 0.085$ range of Co concentration. The variation of the AC susceptibility with hydrostatic pressure has also been measured in a small number of our samples. All of these quantities show systematic variation with $x$ including a paramagnetic to disordered ferromagnetic transition at $x=0.007pm 0.002$. A detailed analysis of the changes with temperature and magnetic field reveal small power law dependencies at low temperatures for samples near the critical concentration for magnetism, and just above the Curie temperature at higher $x$. In addition, the magnetic susceptibility and specific heat are non-analytic around H=0 displaying an extraordinarily sharp field dependence in this same temperature range. We interpret this behavior as due to the formation of Griffiths phases that result from the quenched disorder inherent in a doped semiconductor.
The Hall effect and resistivity of the carrier doped magnetic semiconductor Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$S$_2$ were measured for $0le x le 0.16$, temperatures between 0.05 and 300 K, and fields of up to 9 T. Our Hall data indicate electron charge carriers with a
density of only 10 to 30% of the Co density of our crystals. Despite the previous identification of magnetic Griffiths phase formation in the magnetic and thermodynamic properties of this system for the same range of $x$, we measure a temperature independent resistivity below 0.5 K indicating Fermi liquid-like transport. We also observe no indication of quantum corrections to the conductivity despite the small values of the product of the Fermi wave vector and the mean-free-path, $1.5 le k_Fell le 15$, over the range of $x$ investigated. This implies a large inelastic scattering rate such that the necessary condition for the observation of quantum contributions to the carrier transport, quantum coherence over times much longer than the elastic scattering time, is not met in our samples. Above 0.5 K we observe a temperature and magnetic field dependent resistivity that closely resembles a Kondo anomaly for $x$ less than that required to form a long range magnetic state, $x_c$. For $x>x_c$, the resistivity and magnetoresistance resemble that of a spin glass with a reduction of the resistivity by as much as 35% in 5 T fields. We also observe an enhancement of the residual resistivity ratio by almost a factor of 2 for samples with $xsim x_c$ indicating temperature dependent scattering mechanisms beyond simple carrier-phonon scattering. We speculate that this enhancement is due to charge carrier scattering from magnetic fluctuations which contribute to the resistivity over a wide temperature range.
By means of neutron scattering we have determined new branches of magnetic excitations in orbitally active CoO (TN=290 K) up to 15 THz and for temperatures from 6 K to 450 K. Data were taken in the (111) direction in six single-crystal zones. From th
e dependence on temperature and Q we have identified several branches of magnetic excitation. We describe a model for the coupled orbital and spin states of Co2+ subject to a crystal field and tetragonal distortion.
Magnetic and phonon excitations in the antiferromagnet CoO with an unquenched orbital angular momentum are studied by neutron scattering. Results of energy scans in several Brillouin zones in the (HHL) plane for energy transfers up to 16 THz are pres
ented. The measurements were performed in the antiferromagnetic ordered state at 6 K (well below TN~290 K) as well as in the paramagnetic state at 450 K. Several magnetic excitation modes are identified from the dependence of their intensity on wavevector and temperature. Within a Hunds rule model the excitations correspond to fluctuations of coupled orbital and spin degrees of freedom whose bandwidth is controlled by interionic superexchange. The different <111> ordering domains give rise to several magnetic peaks at each wavevector transfer.
Thin films of silver containing 0.3 - 1.5 at % Fe have been prepared by vapor co-deposition. Depending on substrate temperature and iron concentration we could systematically follow the formation of nanometer size clusters of iron from initially dilu
te iron monomers. samples were characterized via X-ray diffraction, resistivity and M{o}ssbauer spectroscopic measurements. The magnetic behavior derived from M{o}ssbauer data can be best described with an ensemble of ferromagnetic mono-domain particles. The magnetic freezing observed at low temperatures, is controlled via the inter-particle interactions mediated via conduction electron polarization, i.e. RKKY interaction. The interaction of the cluster magnetic moments with the conduction electron sea is best quantified by the electrical resistivity data. For all studied concentrations we find a non-monotonic variation with temperature which can be understood by competing shielding of the cluster moments by conduction electron spin scattering due to Kondo effect and the magnetic coupling.
