Mn_5Ge_3C_x films with x>0.5 were experimentally shown to exhibit a strongly enhanced Curie temperature T_C compared to Mn_5Ge_3. In this letter we present the results of our first principles calculations within Green's function approach,…

The magneto-caloric effect (MCE), which is the refrigeration based on the variation of the magnetic entropy, is of great interest in both technological applications and fundamental research. The MCE is quantified by the magnetic Gr\"uneisen…

An increase of the critical resolved shear stress of Invar alloys (Invar hardening) with a lowering temperature is explained. The effect is caused by a growth of the exchange interaction between dangling $d$-electron states of dislocation…

We report the effect of Mn site substitution of Al on the structural, magnetic and transport properties of charge ordered Pr{_0.5}Ca{_0.5}MnO{_3}. This substitution introduces impurities in the Mn-O-Mn network, causes the Mn{^3+}/Mn{^4+}…

We report the magnetic properties of $A$-site spinel compound MnSc$_2$Se$_4$. The macroscopic magnetic measurements uncovers successive magnetic transitions at $T_{\rm{N1}}$= 2.04 K, followed by two further transitions at $T_{\rm{N2}}$=1.8…

Mn site is substituted with closed shell ions (Al, Ga. Ti, Zr and a certain combination of Zr and Al) and also with Fe and Ru ions carrying the magnetic moment (S=5/2 and 2 respectively) at a fixed concentration of 5 at. %. Substitution did…

We report the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in a polycrystalline plumbide sample of $\mathrm{Ho_2Pd_2Pb}$. Arc-melted $\mathrm{Ho_2Pd_2Pb}$ crystallizes in $\mathrm{Mo_2B_2Fe}$ type of tetragonal crystal structure and shows an…

Here, we report both ac and dc magnetization, thermodynamic and electric properties of hexagonal Ba$_3$NiIr$_2$O$_9$. The Ni$^{2+}$ (spin-1) forms layered triangular-lattice and interacts antiferromagnetically while Ir$^{5+}$ is believed to…

We report on the new polycrystalline exchange bias system MnN/CoFe, which shows exchange bias of up to 1800Oe at room temperature with a coercive field around 600Oe. The room temperature values of the interfacial exchange energy and the…

Hexagonal YMnO_3 with space group P63cm is one of the rare examples of multiferroic materials that exhibit co-dependence of a robust ferroelectric phase along with antiferromagnetic ordering. This is primarily ascribed to tilting of the…

We perform first-principles calculations of multiferroic Ca$_3$CoMnO$_6$ and evaluate the exchange coupling constants using the Green's function method. We clarify the effect of intra-chain and inter-chain exchange interactions on magnetic…

We study the magnetoelectric and electrocaloric response of strain-engineered, multiferroic SrMnO$_3$, using a phenomenological Landau theory with all parameters obtained from \emph{first-principles}-based calculations. This allows to make…

We report synthesis, structural and magnetic (DC and AC) properties of Boron substituted MgCNi3 superconductor. A series of polycrystalline bulk samples Mg1.2C1.6-xBxNi3 (x = 0.0, 0.08 and 0.16) is synthesized through standard solid-state…

High-throughput density functional calculations are used to investigate the effect of interstitial B, C and N atoms on 21 alloys reported to crystallize in the cubic Cu$_3$Au structure. It is shown that the interstitials can have a…

The layered perovskites $R$Cr(BO$_3$)$_2$ ($R$ = Y and Ho) with magnetic triangular lattices were studied by performing ac/dc susceptibility, specific heat, elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, and dielectric constant measurements. The…

Three first order magnetic phase transitions (FOMT) have been detected at TCPr, TNinter and TCinter over the temperature range from 5 K to 340 K at fields up to 9 T in PrMn1.4Fe0.6Ge2, and the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) around these…

We present the detailed inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the noncollinear antiferromagnet Mn$_3$Ge. Time-of-flight and triple-axis spectroscopy experiments were conducted at the temperature of 6~K, well below the high magnetic…

Density functional theory is used to study the effect of compressive and tensile biaxial strain on Mn$_{3}$GaN. Mn$_{3}$GaN is a non-collinear antiferromagnetic antiperovskite with a similar structure to that of an ideal cubic oxide…

We have successfully induced multiferroic behavior in the A-type antiferromagnet SmMnO3 by the substitution of Y at the Sm site. A magnetic transition develops at 24 K for Sm1-xYxMnO3 (x=0.4,0.5) which is not present in the parent compound.…

Bi$_3$Mn$_4$O$_{12}$(NO$_3$) (BMNO) is a honeycomb bilayers anti-ferromagnet, not showing any ordering down to very low temperatures despite having a relatively large Curie-Weiss temperature. Using ab initio density functional theory, we…
