Electron spin resonance spectra have been studied in partially crystallized films of La(1-x)Na(x)MnO(3) (x = 0.16) in the vicinity of the para- to ferromagnetic transition. The objects of investigation were obtained by magnetron sputtering on polycrystalline Al(2)O(3) substrates held at different temperatures. It is shown that, in a regime where the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases coexist, the resonance conditions for one phase strongly depend on the parameters of the other phase. As a result, the resonance field of the paramagnetic phase becomes dependent on the shape of the sample, the saturation magnetization and the fraction of the ferromagnetic phase. A simple model is developed to predict the character of the changes in the resonance field of the paramagnetic phase upon the nucleation of the ferromagnetic phase.

The RE-M-Ge systems (RE: rare earths, M: transition group elements) contain a large number of compounds with special magnetic properties. A novel compound ErMnGe was found during the investigation on the phase diagram of the Er-Mn-Ge ternary system, and its crystal structure and magnetic properties were investigated. Powder X-ray diffraction results show that ErMnGe crystallizes in an orthorhombic YNiSi-type structure with the space group Pnma (No.

This work aims to recover rare earths from wind turbines NdFeB magnets through pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical techniques. First, a NdFeB hydride powder is obtained by decrepitation with hydrogen. Subsequently, this powder was subjected to a chlorination roasting process and successive leaching with water to bring the metals into solution.

The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) with a high Chern number hosts multiple dissipationless chiral edge channels, which is of fundamental interest and promising for applications in spintronics. However, QAHE is currently limited in two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnets with Chern number . Using a tight-binding model, we put forward that Floquet engineering offers a strategy to achieve QAHE in 2D nonmagnets, and, in contrast to generally reported QAHE in 2D ferromagnets, a high-Chern-number is obtained accompanied by the emergence of two chiral edge states.

This prediction evaluates the different physical characteristics of magnetic materials XFeO (X = Mg, Ca and Sr) by using density functional theory (DFT). The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) approach is chosen to define the exchange and correlation potential. The structural study of the compounds XFeO (X = Mg, Ca and Sr) shows that the ferromagnetic phase is the more stable ground state, where all the parameters of the network are given at equilibrium.

Chiral magnetic textures give rise to unconventional magnetotransport phenomena such as the topological Hall effect and nonreciprocal electronic transport. While the correspondence between topology or symmetry of chiral magnetic structures and such transport phenomena has been well established, a microscopic understanding based on the spin-dependent band structure in momentum space remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate how a chiral magnetic superstructure introduces an asymmetry in the electronic band structure and triggers a nonreciprocal electronic transport in a centrosymmetric helimagnet α-EuP.
