We criticize the model proposed by Mila et al. (Phys.Rev.Lett. 85 (2000) 1714) for the description of the V3+ ion in V2O3 by pointing out that it is completely artificial because the condition about the degenerate (doublet) orbital ground…
Hitherto, the discrete identification of quantum spin liquid phase, holy grail of condensed matter physics, remains a challenging task experimentally. However, the precursor of quantum spin liquid state may reflect in the spin dynamics even…
BaV3O8 contains both magnetic V4+(S=1/2) ions and non-magnetic V5+(S=0) ions. The V4+ ions are arranged in a coupled Majumdar-Ghosh chain like network. Our magnetic susceptibility chi(T) data fit well with the Curie-Weiss formula in the…

An oxygen hyperstoichiometric ferrite CaBaFe4O7+\delta (\delta \approx 0.14) has been synthesized using "soft" reduction of CaBaFe4O8. Like the oxygen stoichiometric ferrimagnet CaBaFe4O7, this oxide also keeps the hexagonal symmetry (space…
We present a study of the magnetic properties of the electron doped manganites Ca1-xYxMnO3 (for 0<=x<=0.25) in the paramagnetic regime. For the less doped samples (x<=0.1) the magnetic susceptibility, c(T), follows a Curie-Weiss (CW) law…
A quantum magnet, LiCuSbO4, with chains of edge-sharing S = 1/2 CuO6 octahedra is reported. While the Curie-Weiss constant is ferromagnetic, \theta = 30 K, no phase transition or spin freezing occurs down to 100 mK. Specific heat indicates…
