The thermoelastic properties of ferropericlase Mg1-xFexO (x = 0.1875) throughout the iron high-to-low spin crossover have been investigated by first principles at Earth's lower mantle conditions. This crossover has important consequences…

The spin crossover of iron in Fe$^{3+}$-bearing bridgmanite, the most abundant mineral of the Earth's lower mantle, is by now a well-established phenomenon, though several aspects of this crossover remain unclear. Here we investigate…

The iron spin crossover in ferropericlase introduces anomalies in its thermodynamics and thermoelastic properties. Here we investigate how these anomalies can affect the lower mantle geotherm. The effect is examined in mantle aggregates…

Ferropericlase, (Mg,Fe)O, is the second-most abundant mineral of the Earth's lower mantle. With increasing pressure, the Fe ions in the material begin to collapse from a magnetic to non-magnetic spin state. We present a finite-temperature…

Thermal conductivity of Earths lower mantle controls heat transfer across the core-mantle boundary (CMB) and strongly influences mantle convection. We report direct measurements of the thermal conductivity of single-crystal ferropericlase…

Spin crossover of iron is of central importance in solid Earth geophysics. It impacts all physical properties of minerals that altogether constitute $\sim 95$ vol\% of the Earth's lower mantle: ferropericlase [(Mg,Fe)O] and Fe-bearing…

We report \textit{ab initio} (LDA + U$_{sc}$) calculations of thermoelastic properties of ferric iron (Fe$^{3+}$)- and aluminum (Al)-bearing bridgmanite (MgSiO$_3$ perovskite), the main Earth forming phase, at relevant pressure and…

The ferroelectric phase of the multiferroic hexagonal manganites (h-ReMnO3) has been reported to undergo a series of magnetic transitions involving long-range ordering/reorientation of 4fRe3+ and/or 3dMn3+ spins below room temperature.…

Iron-bearing oxides undergo a series of pressure-induced electronic, spin and structural transitions that can cause seismic anomalies and dynamic instabilities in Earth's mantle and outer core. We employ x-ray diffraction and x-ray emission…

We have studied the ferrous (Fe2+) and ferric (Fe3+) iron concentrations in Al-free Fe containing Mg-silicate perovskite (Mg-Pv) at pressure (P), temperature (T), and oxygen fugacity (fO2) conditions related to the lower mantle using a…

In the series La_{2/3-x}Tb_{x}Ca_{1/3}MnO_{3}, it is known that the compositions are ferromagnetic for smaller values of x and show spin glass characteristics at larger values of x. Our studies on the magnetic properties of various…

The large, so-called colossal, magnetoresistivity of doped manganese oxides based on LaMnO3 has attracted considerable attention, but only one unusual feature of the ferromagnetic transition in these compounds. We examine in this paper the…

The improper ferroelectricity in YMnO$_3$ and other related multiferroic hexagonal manganites are known to cause topologically protected ferroelectric domains that give rise to rich and diverse physical phenomena. The local structure and…

Fe$_3$Ga$_4$ possesses a helical spin spiral with a complex competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ground states. This competition generates multiple metamagnetic transitions that are governed by both applied magnetic field…

We have studied the magnetic, thermal and magnetotransport properties of polycrystalline Gd5Ge3. It is found that the compound is a strong antiferromagnet and does not undergo any strong metamagnetic transition even in a field of 90 kOe.…

The Earth's lower mantle hosts a subtle but pervasive quantum phenomenon: the pressure-induced spin crossover of iron in its dominant minerals, bridgmanite and ferropericlase. In this transition, iron ions gradually shift from high-spin to…

We report an unusual giant linear magnetostrictive effect in the ferrimagnet Gd$_{2/3}$Ca$_{1/3}$MnO$_3$ ($T_{c} \approx$80 K). Remarkably, the magnetostriction, negative at high temperature ($T \approx T_{c}$), becomes positive below 15 K…

Integration of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) on ferromagnetic materials (FM) may yield fascinating physics and promise for electronics and spintronic applications. In this work, high-temperature anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in the…

Crystallographic and magnetic properties of Fe5PB2, Fe4CoPB2, Fe4MnPB2, Fe5SiB2, Fe4CoSiB2, and Fe4MnSiB2 are reported. All adopt the tetragonal Cr5B3 structure-type and are ferromagnetic at room temperature with easy axis of magnetization…

We present experimental evidence for the simultaneous existence of the magnons and spin-state transition contributions to the heat capacity in ferromagnetic (FM) Cr-doped MnTe (Tc~280K), where the magnon heat capacity is attributed to the…
