We have performed a resonant x-ray scattering study at the Co pre-K edge on a single crystal of Ca3Co2O6. The measurements reveal an abrupt transition to a magnetically ordered state immediately below T_N = 25 K, with a magnetic correlation…
Isotropic and anisotropic magnetic behavior of the frustrated spin chain compound $\beta$-TeVO$_4$ is reported. Three magnetic transitions observed in zero magnetic field are tracked in fields applied along different crystallographic…
Solid solutions of the magnetic insulators Ba3Cr2O8 and Sr3Cr2O8 (Ba3-xSrxCr2O8) have been prepared in polycrystalline form for the first time. Single crys- talline material was obtained using a mirror image floating zone technique. X-ray…
The study of interacting spin systems is of fundamental importance for modern condensed matter physics. On frustrated lattices, magnetic exchange interactions cannot be simultaneously satisfied, and often give rise to competing exotic…
The magnetic phase diagram of PrOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$ has been investigated by specific heat measurements between 8 and 32 T. A new Schottky anomaly due to excitations between two lowest crystalline-electric-field (CEF) singlets, has been found…
We report magnetization and heat-capacity measurements on the ordered-spinel oxide Li$_2$NiGe$_3$O$_8$, where Ni$^{2+}$ ions with $S = 1$ form a single three-dimensional trillium lattice. Powder x-ray diffraction confirms a cubic…
The magnetic behaviour of the low-dimensional Vanadium-oxides Sr2V3O9 and Ba2V3O9 was investigated by means of magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements. In both compounds, the results can be very well described by an S=1/2…
The magnetic field dependences of birefringence in a $NdFe_3(BO_3)_4$ single crystal have been measured in the case where the direction of light propagation coincides with the trigonal crystal axis $C_3$ ($k\|C_3$), and the external…

The intriguing interplay between competing degrees of freedom in frustrated magnets can lead to non-trivial magnetic phenomena with exotic low-energy excitations that are highly relevant for addressing some of the fundamental questions in…
The properties of a dilute Ising magnet are studied using a two-dimensional spin-pseudospin model with charged impurities and a frustration caused by the competition of the charge and magnetic orderings. Based on the classical Monte Carlo…
BaCo$_2$V$_2$O$_8$ is a one-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 chain system with pronounced Ising anisotropy of the magnetic exchange. Due to finite interchain interactions long-range antiferromagnetic order develops below $T_{\rm N}…
Recent theoretical studies have suggested that Kitaev physics and such effects as formation of a mysterious spin-liquid state can be expected not only in RuCl3 and iridates, but also in conventional $3d$ transition metal compounds. Using DC…
A Ce-based metallic compound CeCoSi with a tetragonal structure exhibits successive phase transitions: the one whose order parameter is unidentified at T_0 = 12 K and the antiferromagnetic one at T_N = 9.4 K. We performed specific heat,…
