Local thermal magnetization fluctuations in Li-doped MnTe are found to increase its thermopower α strongly at temperatures up to 900 K. Below the Néel temperature ( ~ 307 K), MnTe is antiferromagnetic, and magnon drag contributes α to the thermopower, which scales as ~ . Magnon drag persists into the paramagnetic state up to >3 × because of long-lived, short-range antiferromagnet-like fluctuations (paramagnons) shown by neutron spectroscopy to exist in the paramagnetic state.

We study the effects of electron doping in Mott insulators containing d(4) ions such as Ru(4+), Os(4+), Rh(5+), and Ir(5+) with J=0 singlet ground state. Depending on the strength of the spin-orbit coupling, the undoped systems are either nonmagnetic or host an unusual, excitonic magnetism arising from a condensation of the excited J=1 triplet states of t(2g)(4). We find that the interaction between J excitons and doped carriers strongly supports ferromagnetism, converting both the nonmagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases of the parent insulator into a ferromagnetic metal, and further to a nonmagnetic metal.

We demonstrate that tungsten tetraboride (WB4), a heavy transition metallic compound without magnetic atoms, is an exchange-enhanced paramagnet revealed by the magnetization and specific heat measurements. WB4 has a small effective magnetic moment of 0.53 μB/fu.

We have calculated the electron-phonon coupling for the complete 4d series and the nonmagnetic 3d transition metals using the linear response method and the linear muffin-tin orbitals' basis. A comparison of the linear response results and those obtained via the rigid muffin-tin approximation is provided. Based on the calculated values of the electron-phonon coupling constants, band density of states and the measured values of the electronic specific heat constants, we estimate the spin-fluctuation effects, i.
