Observation of magnetic skyrmion lattice in CrMnGe by small-angle neutron scattering.

Incommensurate magnetic phases in chiral cubic crystals are an established source of topological spin textures such as skyrmion and hedgehog lattices, with potential applications in spintronics and information storage. We report a comprehensive small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) study on the B20-type chiral magnet Cr[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]Ge, exploring its magnetic phase diagram and confirming the stabilization of a skyrmion lattice under low magnetic fields. Our results reveal a helical ground state with a decreasing pitch from 40 to 35 nm upon cooling, and a skyrmion phase stable in applied magnetic fields of 10-30 mT, and over an unusually wide temperature range for chiral magnets of 6 K ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] K).

Phase transitions, magnetotransport and magnetocaloric effects in a new family of quaternary Ni-Mn-In-Z Heusler alloys.

The magnetic, magnetotransport, and magnetocaloric properties near compound phase transitions in Ni50Mn35In14Z (Z = In, Ge, Al), and Ni48Co2Mn35In15 Heusler alloys have been studied using VSM and SQUID magnetometers (at magnetic fields (H) up to 5 T), four-probe method (at H = 0.005-1.5 T), and an adiabatic magnetocalorimeter (for H changes up to deltaH = 1.

Inverse magnetocaloric effect in polycrystalline La(0.125)Ca(0.875)MnO(3).

Recently the inverse magnetocaloric effect has been observed in different compounds. However, it is very rare for any manifestation of the effect to be seen in manganites. We have found the inverse magnetocaloric effect in the case of polycrystalline La(0.

Contribution of energy-gap in the ferromagnetic spin-wave spectrum on magnetocaloric parameters of CeRu(2)Ge(2).

A study of the magnetocaloric effect has been performed on a polycrystalline CeRu(2)Ge(2) compound, which exhibits an antiferromagnetic ordering below T(N) = 8.3 K and enters into a ferromagnetic ground state at T(C) = 7.4 K.
