Exchange biased composites of ferromagnetic single-domain Ni nanoparticles embedded within large grains of MnO have been prepared by reduction of Ni$_x$Mn$_{1-x}$O$_4$ phases in flowing hydrogen. The Ni precipitates are 15-30 nm in extent,…
A large body of knowledge about magnetism is attained from models of interacting spins, which usually reside on magnetic ions. Proposals beyond the ionic picture are uncommon and seldom verified by direct observations in conjunction with…
Ensembles of gold nanoparticles present a magnetic behavior which is at odds with the weakly diamagnetic response of bulk gold. In particular, an unusual ferromagnetic order has been unveiled by several experiments. Here we investigate if…
It is well-known that the Curie temperature, and hence the magnetization, in diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) like Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As can be controlled by changing the equilibrium density of holes in the material. Here, we propose that…
Spin manipulation using electric currents is one of the most promising directions in the field of spintronics. We used neutron scattering to observe the influence of an electric current on the magnetic structure in a bulk material. In the…

We have developed a simple precipitation route to synthesize magnetite (Fe3O4) nano-particles with controlled size without any requirement of calcination step at high temperatures. The study of these nano-particles indicates an enhancement…
Marcasite-type compounds have been proposed as promising hosts of exotic magnetic quantum states, yet experimental realizations in stoichiometric, disorder-free systems remain limited. Here, we report the high-pressure stabilization and…
Five compounds were investigated for magnetic character and superconductivity, all with non-magnetic nickel and band structures containing flat bands and steep bands. The syntheses and crystal structures, refined by powder X-ray…
Despite extensive researches on manganites owing to widespread use in modern electronics, this class of metal oxides does not cease to surprise with its unique properties and new phenomena. Here we have studied structural and magnetic…

Recently, the magnetic moment/Mn, $M$, in Mn$_x$Si$_{1-x}$ was measured to be 5.0 $\mu_B$/Mn, at $x$ =0.1%. To understand this observed $M$, we investigate several Mn$_x$Si$_{1-x}$ models of alloys using first-principles density functional…

The slow dynamics and concomitant memory (aging) effects seen in nanomagnetic systems are analyzed on the basis of two separate paradigms : superparamagnets and spinglasses. It is argued that in a large class of aging phenomena it suffices…
