We report a detailed study of the magnetic properties of CeCo$_{0.85}$Fe$_{0.15}$Si under high magnetic fields (up to 16 Tesla) measuring different physical properties such as specific heat, magnetization, electrical resistivity, thermal…

We present a phenomenological theory for the ferromagnetic transition temperature, the magnetic susceptibility at high temperatures, and the structural distortion in the La$_{1-y}$(Ca$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$)$_{y}$MnO$_{3}$ system. We construct a…

A very strong magnetoelastic effect in the CeCo$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$Si alloys is reported. The strength of the magnetostrictive effect can be tuned upon changing $x$. The moderate low-temperature linear magnetostriction observed at low Fe…

We present results from a detailed experimental investigation of LaFeAsO, the parent material in the series of "FeAs" based oxypnictide superconductors. Upon cooling this material undergoes a tetragonal-orthorhombic crystallographic phase…

The magnetoelastic coupling in Ca$_{1.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$RuO$_4$ and in Ca$_{1.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$RuO$_4$ has been studied combining high-resolution dilatometer and diffraction techniques. Both compounds exhibit strong anomalies in the…

Temperature-dependent crystallographic and magnetic studies on stoichiometric single crystals of LiCu2O2 are reported. The magnetic properties are similar to earlier findings demonstrating antiferromagnetic ordering below 25 K. Evidence of…

The complex magnetism and transport properties of tetragonal Ce$_3$Cu$_4$As$_4$O$_2$ were examined through neutron scattering and physical properties measurements on polycrystalline samples. The lamellar structure consists of alternating…

The interplay between the structural and magnetic phase transitions occurring in the Fe-based pnictide superconductors is studied within a Ginzburg-Landau approach. We show that the magnetoelastic coupling between the corresponding order…

Neutron and synchrotron resonant X-ray magnetic scattering (RXMS) complemented by heat capacity and resistivity measurements reveal the evolution of the magnetic structures of Fe and Ce sublattices in single crystal CeFeAsO. The RXMS of…

Measurements of magnetization, specific heat, electrical resistivity, Hall effect, and magnetoresistance on single crystalline samples of LaFeAsO grown in a NaAs flux are reported. While this material is known to be a semimetal, the…

We discuss a simple phenomenological Landau theory of phase transitions with two coupled single-component order parameters and compare the results with available experimental data. The model corresponds to the case of a ferroic system, in…

Co4Nb2O9 (CNO) having {\alpha}-Al2O3 crystal structure with Co chains along c-direction shows gigantic magnetoelelctric coupling below antiferromagnetic ordering temperature of 27 K but above a spin flop field of 1.6 T. We have investigated…

Structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Fe2P-based Mn-Fe-P-Si compounds were investigated. The study reveals a large magneto-elastic coupling that starts to develop in the paramagnetic state and grows when the ferromagnetic…

We report on structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of MnxFe1.95-xP0.50Si0.50 (x > 1.10) compounds. With increasing the Mn:Fe ratio, a first-order magneto-elastic transition gradually changes into a first-order…

The results of magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity ($\rho$), heat-capacity (C) and thermopower (S) measurements on CeCuAs2, forming in ZrCuSi2-type tetragonal structure, are reported. Our investigations reveal that Ce is…

We report measurements of structural phase transition of four parent compounds $R$FeAsO ($R$ = La, Sm, Gd, and Tb) by means of low-temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD). Magnetic transition temperatures associated with Fe ions ($T_{N1}$) are…

Elastic neutron scattering studies of an optimized LaFeAsO single crystal reveal that upon cooling, an onset of the tetragonal (T)-to-orthorhombic (O) structural transition occurs at $T_\texttt{S} \approx 156$ K, and it exhibits a sharp…

An effective Landau-like description of ferronematics, i.e., suspensions of magnetic colloidal particles in a nematic liquid crystal (NLC), is developed in terms of the corresponding magnetization and nematic director fields. The study is…

A detailed study of the analytic structure of 1-loop self energy graphs for neutral and charged $\rho$ mesons is presented at finite temperature and arbitrary magnetic field using the real time formalism of thermal field theory. The…
