Mn$_3$GaC undergoes a ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic, volume discontinuous cubic-cubic phase transition as a function of temperature, pressure and magnetic field. Through a series of temperature dependent x-ray absorption fine structure…
In this paper we attempt to understand the different nature of first order magnetic transformation in Mn$_3$SnC as compared to that in Mn$_3$GaC. The transformation in Mn$_3$SnC is close to room temperature (T$_t \approx$ 280K) and is…
The structural and magnetic interactions in stoichiometric (Mn$_3$SnC), carbon deficient (Mn$_3$SnC$_{0.8}$) and tin deficient (Mn$_3$Sn$_{0.85}$C) antiperovskite compounds are studied using x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and…
In this paper, we attempt to understand the cause of magnetostructural transformation in Mn-based antiperovskites by calculating EXAFS at the K edges of constituent metal atoms in three antiperovskite compounds, Mn$_3$GaC, Mn$_3$SnC and…
In this paper we attempt to understand the role of tin and carbon in magnetic interactions in Mn$_3$SnC. Mn$_3$SnC exhibits a time dependent magnetic configuration and a complex magnetic ground state with both ferromagnetic and…
In order to study the magnetic and crystal structures in the Nd{1-x}Sr{x}MnO{3} system, we have peformed neutron diffraction measurements on melt-grown polycrystalline samples with 0.49 < x < 0.75. As a function of hole concentration x, the…
While the unit cell volume of compounds belonging to the Mn$_3$Ga$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$C, (0 $ \le x \le $ 1) series shows a conformity with Vegard's law, their magnetic and magnetocaloric properties behave differently from those of parent…
The magnetic properties of the Mn$_3$Ga$_{(1-x)}$Sn$_x$C, 0 $\le$ x $\le$ 1 antiperovskite compounds have been investigated in detail. Though all compounds of this series crystallize in a cubic structure, the Ga rich (x $\le$ 0.2) compounds…
A study investigating the effect of Sn substitution on the magnetocaloric properties of Mn$ _{3} $Ga$ _{(1-x)} $Sn$ _{x} $C compounds reveals that nature of the MCE has a strong dependence on the nature of the magnetic ordering. For small…
Existence of non-ergodic ground states is considered as a precursor to a first order long range magnetostructural transformation. Mn$_3$Ga$_{0.45}$Sn$_{0.55}$C lies compositionally between two compounds, Mn$_3$GaC and Mn$_3$SnC, undergoing…
Two magnetic ordering transitions are found in InMnO3, the paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition near ~118 K and a lower possible spin rotation transition near ~42 K. Multiple length scale structural measurements reveal enhanced…
We investigate the magnetic structure of Mn3-xFexSn2 using neutron powder diffraction experiments and electronic structure calculations. These alloys crystallize in the orthorhombic Ni3Sn2 type of structure (Pnma) and comprise two…
Transition metal phosphorous trichalcogenides, $M{\rm P}X_3$ ($M$ and $X$ being transition metal and chalcogen elements respectively), have been the focus of substantial interest recently because of their possible magnetism in the…
Generally, one has two strategies to achieve magnetic frustration: through geometric means or interactions with different length scales. As the former leads to much simpler theoretical treatments it is favored and so magnetic sublattices…
Transition metal compounds with complex crystal structures tend to demonstrate interesting magnetic coupling resulting in unusual magnetic properties. In this work, the structural and magnetic characterization of a single crystal of the…
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…
The changes in the electronic properties of the substitutionally disordered MgC(Ni_{1-x}T_{x})_{3} (T=Fe, Co or Cu) alloys are studied using the atomic sphere formulation of the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent-potential approximation method…
Non-collinear antiferromagnets, with either an L1$_{2}$ cubic crystal lattice (e.g. Mn$_{3}$Ir and Mn$_{3}$Pt) or a D0$_{19}$ hexagonal structure (e.g. Mn$_{3}$Sn and Mn$_{3}$Ge), exhibit a number of novel phenomena of interest to…
We investigate the magnetic and transport evolution in Mn$_{3+x}$Ga$_{1-x}$C ($0 \le x \le 0.60$), where Mn substitution at corner Ga sites induces lattice contraction and suppresses the antiferromagnetic order of Mn$_3$GaC. As $x$…
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to study the magnetic and ferroelectric properties of Sr$_{1-x}$Ba$_{x}$MnO$_3$, with focus on $x=0.5$, under isotropic volume expansion/compression and biaxial strain. Our results…
