During the study of magnetoresistivity in La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(3) it was found that after cycling of the magnetic field, some kind of magnetic field memory effect was observed. For La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 after cycling of the magnetic field to 13T and…

Magnetism of $UGe_2$ is due to the magnetic ordered moments of $5f$ uranium electrons. The strong spin-orbit coupling splits them into two groups. The magnetization is investigated in terms of two vector fields ${\bf M}_{1i}$ and ${\bf…
