Upon substituting Ca for Eu in the local-moment ferromagnet EuB$_6$, the Curie temperature $T_C$ decreases substantially with increasing dilution of the magnetic sublattice and is completely suppressed for $x$ $\leq$ 0.3. The Ca…
Non-linear conduction in a single crystal of charge-ordered Pr$_{0.63}$Ca$_{0.37}$MnO$_{3}$ has been investigated in an applied magnetic field. In zero field, the non-linear conduction, which starts at T$<$T$_{CO}$ can give rise to a region…
