The magnetostructural coupling between structural and magnetic transitions leads to magneto-multifunctionalities of phase-transition alloys. Due to the increasing demands of multifunctional applications, to search for the new materials with tunable magnetostructural transformations in a large operating temperature range is important. In this work, we demonstrate that by chemically alloying MnNiSi with CoNiGe, the structural transformation temperature of MnNiSi (1200 K) is remarkably decreased by almost 1000 K. A tunable magnetostructural transformation between the paramagnetic hexagonal and ferromagnetic orthorhombic phase over a wide temperature window from 425 to 125 K is realized in (MnNiSi)1-x(CoNiGe)x system. The magnetic-field-induced magnetostructural transformation is accompanied by the high-performance magnetocaloric effect, proving that MnNiSi-CoNiGe system is a promising candidate for magnetic cooling refrigerant.

Although the design of containing-Dy single molecule magnets (SMMs) based on electrostatic potential has been employed for several years, rational studies on the correlations between the electrostatic potential of a single Dy ion and its energy barriers have not been reported previously. In this work, a novel "Y"-shaped MnIII5DyIII3 complex, [MnIII5DyIII3(NO)(OCH)(L)(L')(tea)(teaH)]OH·3CHOH·2HO (1, HL = 2-methoxy-6-[()-(1-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylimino)methyl]phenol, Htea = triethanolamine and HL' = 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde), was obtained through the reaction of the HL ligand, teaH, Dy(NO)·6HO and MnCl·4HO in CHOH and DMF. Structural analysis revealed that the coordination geometry of Dy1 in 1 is muffin-like (MFF-9, ), while the geometries of Dy2 and Dy3 fall among spherical capped square antiprism-like (CSAPR-9, ), spherical tricapped trigonal prism-like (TCTPR-9, ) and muffin-like (MFF-9, ).

We report the preparation of three neutral linear trinuclear Ni(II) complexes [Ni(LX)] (1-3) by self-assembly of Ni(II) ions and NO-tripodal Schiff base ligands, LX, which were obtained by condensation between the triamine tris(methylhydrazine)phosphorylsulfide and salicylaldehyde derivatives with substituents X=H (L1) (1), Br (L2) (2) and NO (L3) (3) in para position to the phenoxo group. Experimental magneto-structural studies carried out on these complexes indicate that the magnetic exchange interactions between the neighboring Ni(II) ions are ferromagnetic in nature, moderate in magnitude and clearly dependent of the electronic properties of the substituent in para position. Thus, the electron-withdrawing NO group decreases the ferromagnetic coupling, whereas the Br substituent, with small electronic effects, does not significantly vary the exchange coupling observed for the unsubstituted complex.

Type-II multiferroicity from non-collinear spin order is recently explored in the van der Waals material NiI. Despite the importance for improper ferroelectricity, the microscopic mechanism of the helimagnetic order remains poorly understood. Here, the magneto-structural phases of NiI are investigated using resonant magnetic X-ray scattering (RXS) and X-ray diffraction.

We present a sequential growth scheme based on pulsed laser deposition, which yields dense arrays of ultrathin, match-shaped Au/CoNi nanopillars, vertically embedded in SrTiOthin films. Analysis of the magnetic properties of these nanocomposites reveals a pronounced out-of-plane anisotropy. We show that the latter not only results from the peculiar nanoarchitecture of the hybrid films but is further enhanced by strong magneto-structural coupling of the wires to the surrounding matrix.

To synthetically target a specific material with select performance, the underlying relationship between structure and function must be understood. For targeting magnetic properties, such understanding is underdeveloped for a relatively new class of layered hexagonal perovskites, the 12R-BaMnO family. Here, we perform a detailed magnetostructural study of the layered hexagonal perovskite materials 12R-BaMnO, where = diamagnetic Ce or paramagnetic ≈ 1/2 Pr.
