Spin valves based on Mn{sub 75}Ir{sub 25} antiferromagnet with controllable functional parameters
Using the example of spin valves of the Ta(50 Å)/Ni{sub 80}Fe{sub 20}(30 Å)/Co{sub 90}Fe{sub 10}(15 Å)/Cu(28 Å)/Co{sub 90}Fe{sub 10}(20 Å)/Mn{sub 75}Ir{sub 25}(50 Å)/Ta(20 Å) composition, factors controlling the hysteresis properties are studied for the case of macro- and microscopic sizes of an experimental sample. It is shown that a linear change in the magnetoresistance with small hysteresis while retaining the giant magnetoresistance effect at a level of 8% can be obtained in a micro-object (meander) using thermomagnetic treatment.

Pressure‐Induced Structural and Magnetic Evolution in Layered Antiferromagnet YbMn 2 Sb 2
Electronic states under pressure exhibit unconventional spin and charge dynamics that provide a powerful route to uncover exotic phases in quantum materials. Here, we present the structural, magnetic, and electronic evolution of YbMn 2 Sb 2 under pressure. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals a pressure-induced structural transition from the space group trigonal P$\overline{3}$m1 to the monoclinic P2 1 /m phase near 3.5 GPa, which remains stable up to 10 GPa. Magnetization measurements display an anomalously weak net magnetic moment and the absence of Curie–Weiss behavior up to 400 K, suggesting the formation of short-range Mn moment pairs that cancel macroscopically and subsequently evolve into long-range order upon cooling. Temperature-dependent resistivity shows semiconducting behavior with a transition at ∼119 K at ambient pressure, while pressure induces a dramatic suppression of resistance and the emergence of metallic-like temperature dependence, stabilized beyond 5 GPa. This pressure-driven semiconductor-metal transition is consistent with our density functional theory calculations, confirming the closing of the band gap under compression. Neutron diffraction under pressure identifies an incommensurate magnetic structure with antiparallel correlations between paired spins. Together, these results demonstrate how pressure-driven structural tuning and competing exchange interactions stabilize unconventional magnetic states in this low-dimensional magnetic semiconductor.

Selective adsorption in two porous triazolate–oxalate-bridged antiferromagnetic metal-azolate frameworks obtained via in situ decarboxylation of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxylic acid
Solvothermal reactions of metal salts, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxylic acid (H{sub 2}atzc) and ammonium oxalate in different temperature produced two metal azolate frameworks, namely, [Cu{sub 3}(atzc){sub 2}(atz)(ox)]·1.5H{sub 2}O (1) and [Co{sub 5}(atz){sub 4}(ox){sub 3}(HCOO){sub 2}]·DMF (2) (H{sub 2}atzc=3-amino-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxylic acid, Hatz=3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, and ox=oxalate), in which the atzc precusor was in situ decarboxylated. Structural determination reveals that 1 contains [Cu{sub 3}(atzc){sub 2}(atz)]{sup 2−} layers of mixed μ{sub 4}-atzc and μ{sub 3}-atz ligands, which are pillared by ox{sup 2−} groups to form a 3D porous framework. Compound 2 contains 2D layers with basic spindle-shaped decanuclear units, which extended by ox{sup 2−} and formates to form 3D porous framework. Gas adsorption investigation revealed that two kinds of frameworks exhibited selective CO{sub 2} over N{sub 2} sorption. Moreover, activated 2 shows H{sub 2} storage capacity. Additionally, magnetic properties of both the compounds have been investigated. - Graphical abstract: Solvothermal reactions of metal salts, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxylate and oxalate produced two metal azolate frameworks, which could store gas molecules, especially H{sub 2} due to small pores. in situ decarboxylation of precursor was observed. - Highlights: • Two MAFs were synthesized via in situ decarboxylation of H{sub 2}atzc. • Both activated frameworks exhibited selective CO{sub 2} over N{sub 2} sorption. • Activated 2 could adsorb H{sub 2}, which makes it promising candidates for gas storage.

Seeking to quantify the ferromagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic interface coupling resulting in exchange bias with various thin-film conformations
Ni{sub 3}Fe/(Ni, Fe)O thin films with bilayer and nanocrystallite dispersion morphologies are prepared with a dual ion beam deposition technique permitting precise control of nanocrystallite growth, composition, and admixtures. A bilayer morphology provides a Ni{sub 3}Fe-to-NiO interface, while the dispersion films have different mixtures of Ni{sub 3}Fe, NiO, and FeO nanocrystallites. Using detailed analyses of high resolution transmission electron microscopy images with Multislice simulations, the nanocrystallites' structures and phases are determined, and the intermixing between the Ni{sub 3}Fe, NiO, and FeO interfaces is quantified. From field-cooled hysteresis loops, the exchange bias loop shift from spin interactions at the interfaces are determined. With similar interfacial molar ratios of FM-to-AF, we find the exchange bias field essentially unchanged. However, when the interfacial ratio of FM to AF was FM rich, the exchange bias field increases. Since the FM/AF interface ‘contact’ areas in the nanocrystallite dispersion films are larger than that of the bilayer film, and the nanocrystallite dispersions exhibit larger FM-to-AF interfacial contributions to the magnetism, we attribute the changes in the exchange bias to be from increases in the interfacial segments that suffer defects (such as vacancies and bond distortions), that also affects the coercive fields.

Low temperature transformation from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic order in impurity system Ge:As near the insulator-metal phase transition
The low-temperature transformation from antiparallel to parallel spin orientation in a nonmagnetic compensated system Ge:As semiconductor near the metal-insulator phase transition has been experimentally observed. This effect is manifested in the temperature dependences of the impurity magnetic susceptibility obtained by integration of the spin resonance absorption line. These dependences show that the spin density falls in the medium temperature range (10-100 K) and grows at low temperatures. The effect is confirmed by the specific temperature features of the g-factor and inverse magnetic susceptibility. As the relative content of a compensating impurity (gallium) is made lower than 0.7, the transition temperature begins to decrease and, at a degree of compensation < 0.3, falls outside the temperature range under study (i.e., below 2 K)

Surface driven effects on magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic LaFeO{sub 3} nanocrystalline ferrite
LaFeO{sub 3} nanocrystalline ferrites were synthesized through sol-gel method in different size distributions and the effect of finite size on magnetic properties is investigated. Results of magnetization and Mössbauer measurements show that superparamagnetism and weak ferromagnetic behavior in some of the size distributions. The origin of the superparamagnetism is from fine particles similar to ferromagnetic single domains and the weak ferromagnetism comes from surface spin disorder caused by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The magnetic ground state of LaFeO{sub 3} nanoparticles differs from that of bulk, and the ground state is dictated by the finite size effect because density of states depends on the dimensionality of the sample.

Room-temperature polarization switching and antiferromagnetic coupling in epitaxial (Ga,Fe){sub 2}O{sub 3}/SrRuO{sub 3} heterostructures
Room-temperature reversible remnant polarization of gallium ferrite thin-films is reported as a multiferroic material with non-zero order parameters of polarization and magnetization. With the addition of Fe ions in Ga sites, Ga{sub 0.6}Fe{sub 1.4}O{sub 3} (GFO) thin films have been considered as potentially promising of multiferroicity. The b-axis oriented epitaxial GFO films were grown on SrRuO{sub 3}(111)/SrTiO{sub 3}(111). The six-fold symmetric in-plane epitaxy of the GFO films was confirmed using X-ray diffraction. The magnetic moment of the films was measured as a function of temperature and external magnetic field, which shows a room-temperature non-zero magnetization. Macroscopic and microscopic methods have been applied to demonstrate the polarization switching of the films. The remnant polarization is measured as 0.05 μC/cm{sup 2}. Reduction of leaky behaviors of the GFO films owing to the conducting oxide of SrRuO{sub 3} will pave a way to take advantage of the room-temperature non-zero multi-orders for future non-volatile memory device applications.

Spin-reorientation and weak ferromagnetism in antiferromagnetic TbMn{sub 0.5}Fe{sub 0.5}O{sub 3}
Orthorhombic single crystals of TbMn{sub 0.5}Fe{sub 0.5}O{sub 3} are found to exhibit spin-reorientation, magnetization reversal, and weak ferromagnetism. Strong anisotropy effects are evident in the temperature dependent magnetization measurements along the three crystallographic axes a, b, and c. A broad magnetic transition is visible at T{sub N}{sup Fe/Mn}=286 K due to paramagnetic to A{sub x}G{sub y}C{sub z} ordering. A sharp transition is observed at T{sub SR}{sup Fe/Mn}=28 K, which is pronounced along c axis in the form of a sharp jump in magnetization where the spins reorient to G{sub x}A{sub y}F{sub z} configuration. The negative magnetization observed below T{sub SR}{sup Fe/Mn} along c axis is explained in terms of domain wall pinning. A component of weak ferromagnetism is observed in field-scans along c-axis but below 28 K. Field-induced steps-like transitions are observed in hysteresis measurement along b axis below 28 K. It is noted that no sign of Tb-order is discernible down to 2 K. TbMn{sub 0.5}Fe{sub 0.5}O{sub 3} could be highlighted as a potential candidate to evaluate its magneto-dielectric effects across the magnetic transitions.

Scaling behavior and giant field enhancement of the thermal conductivity in the honeycomb antiferromagnet BaCo 2 (AsO 4 ) 2
The layered honeycomb material BaCo 2 (AsO 4 ) 2 is of topical interest because its magnetic state is related to that of the Kitaev magnet α-RuCl 3 . Using thermal transport to probe how magnetic excitations interact with phonons in the magnetically disordered regime, we have uncovered an unusually large enhancement of the thermal conductivity κ xx in an in-plane magnetic field H. Just above the Néel temperature T N , a field of 13 T increases κ xx by a factor of ∼ 211, which is very large compared to other magnetic insulators. Interestingly, κ xx (H, T) exhibits a scaling behavior in the entire magnetically disordered region that surrounds the ordered zigzag state. The ratio Δκ xx (H, T)/κ xx (13, T), measured throughout the disordered region, collapses to a one-parameter scaling function exp(−1/gx) (where x = μ B B/k B T and g is a constant).

Homogeneous reduced moment in a gapful scalar chiral kagome antiferromagnet
We present a quantitative experimental investigation of the scalar chiral magnetic order with in Nd 3 Sb 3 Mg 2 O 14 . Static magnetization reveals a net ferromagnetic ground state, and inelastic neutron scattering from the hyperfine coupled nuclear spin reveals a local ordered moment of 1.76(6) μB, just 61(2)% of the saturated moment size. The experiments exclude static disorder as the source of the reduced moment. A 38(1)μeV gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum inferred from heat capacity rules out thermal fluctuations and suggests a multipolar explanation for the moment reduction. Furthermore, we compare Nd 3 Sb 3 Mg 2 O 14 to Nd pyrochlores and show that Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 is in a spin fragmented state using nuclear Schottky heat capacity.

Magnetic exchange interactions in the van der Waals layered antiferromagnet MnPSe 3
Two-dimensional van der Waals compounds with magnetic ions on a honeycomb lattice are hosts to a variety of exotic behavior. The magnetic interactions in one such compound, MnPSe 3 , are investigated with elastic and inelastic neutron scattering. Magnetic excitations are observed in the magnetically ordered regime and persist to temperatures well above the ordering temperature, T N =74K, consistent with low dimensional magnetic interactions. The inelastic neutron scattering results allow a model spin Hamiltonian to be presented that includes dominant intralayer interactions of J 1ab =0.45 meV, J 2ab =0.03 meV, J 3ab =0.19 meV, consistent with theoretical predictions. Furthermore, despite the quasi-2D behavior, appreciable interlayer interactions of J c =0.031(5) meV are required to model the data. No evidence for anisotropy in the form of a spin gap is observed in the data collected. The measurements on MnPSe 3 are contrasted with those on MnPS 3 and reveal a large increase in the interlayer exchange interaction in MnPSe 3 that may stabilize the similar ordering temperatures in the bulk compounds.
