We report the synthesis of CeBi single crystals out of Bi self flux and a systematic study of the magnetic and transport properties with varying temperature and applied magnetic fields. From these $R(T,H)$ and $M(T,H)$ data we could…
A thermodynamic and transport study of Sr4Ru3O10 as a function of temperature and magnetic field is presented. The central results include a growing specific heat C with increasing field B, a magnetic contribution to C/T at low temperatures…
Domain pattern transfer from ferroelectric to ferromagnetic materials is a critical step for the electric field control of magnetism and has the potential to provide new schemes for low-power data storage and computing devices. Here we…
This work reports on first principles calculations of the electronic and magnetic structure of tetragonal Heusler compounds with the composition Rh$_2$Fe$_{x}$Co$_{1-x}$Sb ($0\leq x\leq1$). It is found that the magnetic moments increase…
Historically, comprehensive studies of dilute ferromagnetic semiconductors, e.g., $p$-type (Cd,Mn)Te and (Ga,Mn)As, paved the way for a quantitative theoretical description of effects associated with spin-orbit interactions in solids, such…
The antiferromagnetic heavy-fermion compound Ce$_2$RhIn$_8$ belongs to the same family and bears similarities with the well-studied prototypical material CeRhIn$_5$, which demonstrates a unique behavior under applied magnetic field. Here,…
We present a microscopic theory for the low temperature metamagnetic phase diagram of HoNi_2B_2C that agrees well with experiments.For the same model we determined the zero field ground state as a function of temperature and find the…
We present a detailed investigation of the physical properties of Ce$_2 $Sb and Ce$_2 $Bi single crystals, which undergo antiferromagnetic transitions at around 8.2 and 10 K respectively. When magnetic fields are applied parallel to the $c$…

A Ce-based metallic compound CeCoSi with a tetragonal structure exhibits successive phase transitions: the one whose order parameter is unidentified at T_0 = 12 K and the antiferromagnetic one at T_N = 9.4 K. We performed specific heat,…

The magnetic properties of (Ga,Mn)As thin films depend on both the Mn doping level and the carrier concentration. Using a post growth hydrogenation process we show that it is possible to decrease the hole density from 1.1021 cm-3 to <1017…
