Published: February 2006

We have investigated the electronic transport properties of the triple-layered ruthenate Sr4Ru3O10. We observed surprising anomalous features near its itinerant metamagnetic transition, including ultrasharp magnetoresistivity steps, a nonmetallic temperature dependence in resistivity for upward field sweeps, and a resistivity drop in temperature dependence for downward field sweeps. These features suggest that the metamagnetic transition of Sr4Ru3O10 occurs via an electronic phase separation process with magnetic domain formation.

We report the detailed investigation of the magnetic, transport, and magnetocaloric effects (MCEs) of GdSbSe by magnetic susceptibilityχ(T), isothermal magnetization(), resistivityρ(T,H), and heat capacityCp(T)measurements, crystallizing in the ZrSiS-type tetragonal crystal system with space group P4/nmm. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed long-range antiferromagnetic ordering with two additional magnetic anomalies below Néel temperature (TN≈8.6K), corroborated through magnetocaloric and specific heat studies.

PbOCu(SeO)(NO)(OH) was synthesized by means of a replacement of (OH) groups for F ions of PbOCu(SeO)(NO)F, showing a transformation of kagomé and breathing kagomé lattices. Such a replacement did not change their intralayer ferromagnetic interactions and interlayer antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions but slightly affected the Néel temperature and critical field, where PbOCu(SeO)(NO)(OH) possesses an AFM ordering at = 29.3 K, and a field-induced metamagnetic transition can occur at 2 K while a critical magnetic field of 1.

In this paper, we propose to solve the issues of long-range or next-neighbor interactions by introducing randomness. This approach is applied to the square lattice Ising model. The Monte Carlo method with the Metropolis algorithm is utilized to calculate the critical temperature T_{C}^{*} under equilibrium thermodynamic phase transition conditions and to investigate the characterization of randomness in terms of magnetization.
