Spin-polarized band calculations for LaSr_7B_{48} show a weak ferro-magnetic state. This is despite a low density-of-states (DOS) and a low Stoner factor. The reason for the magnetic state is found to be associated with a gain in potential…

The question of structural disorder and its effects on magnetism is relevant to a number of spin liquid candidate materials. Although commonly thought of as a route to spin glass behavior, here we describe a system in which the structural…
A neutron scattering study of nonsuperconducting La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CaCu$_2$O$_6$ (x=0 and 0.2), a bilayer copper oxide without CuO chains, has revealed an unexpected tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition with a doping dependent transition…
Double-perovskite oxides that contain both 3d and 5d transition metal elements have attracted growing interest as they provide a model system to study the interplay of strong electron interaction and large spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Here,…
Rutile RuO$_2$ has been proposed as an altermagnet, but its bulk magnetic ground state is still under debate because density-functional calculations give conflicting predictions. Using fixed-node diffusion quantum Monte Carlo, we find that…
We report electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy results on the double perovskite Ba$_2$YIrO$_6$. On general grounds, this material is expected to be nonmagnetic due to the strong coupling of the spin and orbital momenta of Ir$^{5+}$…
Magnetization and Hall resistivity have been investigated for single crystals of Dy-doped Nd$_{2}$Mo$_{2}$O$_{7}$. A sharp decrease of the Hall resistivity upon a metamagnetic transition, perhaps associated with magnetic-field ($H$) induced…
As one of the most abundant interstitial elements, nitrogen (N) is effective in improving yield strength of metallic materials, due to interstitial solid solution strengthening. Doping N can substantially enhance the yield strength but…

95, 97Mo NMR experiments have been performed on a series of Sr2FeMoO6 and electron-doped Sr2-xLaxFeMoO6 ceramics. Detailed analysis of the NMR spectra from pristine Sr2FeMoO6 conclusively shows that the Mo hyperfine field is mainly due to…

Magnetic properties of a quasi one-dimensional magnet CuV_2O_6 have been studied by means of susceptibility measurement, NMR and powder neutron diffraction. Cu^{2+} spins (S=1/2) order antiferromagnetically below 22.6 K, and the saturation…
Superconductivity with $T_c \approx 15K$ was recently found in doped NdNiO$_2$. The Ni$^{1+}$O$_2$ layers are expected to be Mott insulators so hole doping should produce Ni$^{2+}$ with $S=1$, incompatible with robust superconductivity. We…
We report the magnetic and electronic properties of the bilayer ruthenate Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ upon Fe substitution for Ru. We find that Sr$_3$(Ru$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$)$_2$O$_7$ shows a spin-glass-like phase below 4 K for $x$ = 0.01 and commensurate…
