The MCE investigated by direct method in the temperature range of 15–110 K and magnetic field up to 14 T. It was found that the maximum of the adiabatic MCE in the region of the Curie temperature of the DyAl2 alloy under adiabatic magnetization in a magnetic field of 14 T is ΔT = 12.94 K. The obtained values are well approximated by the , The maximum value of the quasi-isothermal MCE is ΔQ = 3.1 kJ/kg. The value corresponds to the maximum of the entropy change of the magnetic subsystem ΔSmag = 32.3 J/(kg*K).

Absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra have been studied in the region of 5I8 → 5F2, 5S2, 5F3, and 5F5 absorption bands of the Ho3+ ion and in the region of 4I9/2→4G7/2, 2K13/2, 4S3/2, 4F7/2, 4F5/2 and 2H9/2 absorption bands of the Nd3+ ion in an antiferromagnetic trigonal crystal Ho0.75Nd0.25Fe3(BO3)4 in the temperature range from 5 to 90 K. A qualitative change in the shape of the MCD spectra of Ho3+ ion was revealed during the spin-reorientation transition at TR = 6.9 К. Below TR, in the easy-axis state of the crystal, the MCD spectrum has a shape typical for paramagnets, i.e., it consists of diamagnetic and paramagnetic parts. Just above TR, in the easy-plane state of the crystal, MCD of Ho3+ ion has a spectrum similar to the absorption spectrum, which is typical for the paramagnetic part of the MCD. It was shown, that in the easy-plane state the exchange field of iron, being perpendicular to the external field directed along the C3 axis, quenches the usual paramagnetic and diamagnetic MCD in Ho3+ ion, but creates a condition for the appearance of a large paramagnetic MCD of mixing (B-term). With temperature increasing, the MCD spectrum of Ho3+ ion gradually turns into a spectrum typical for paramagnets with the predominance of the sign-changing diamagnetic part, because the influence of the exchange field decreases. The shape of the MCD spectra of Nd3+ ions are typical for paramagnets but does not change during the reorientation transition in the rest of the crystal. This means that the magnetic moment of the Nd3+ ion does not make a reorientation transition simultaneously with the Fe3+ and Ho3+ ions of the rest of the crystal. This phenomenon is accounted for by a strong local magnetic anisotropy of the Nd3+ ion and by a weak exchange interaction Fe-Nd, which is not enough for rotation of the Nd3+ ion moment synchronously with that of the Fe3+ ion. The magneto-optical properties of neodymium are controlled by the easy-axis anisotropy of neodymium.

Polycrystalline Pr0.65-xGdxSr0.35MnO3 (x = 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) manganites were prepared by conventional solid-state method. Structural analysis has revealed a change in structure with x = 0.2, from Rhombohedral (R-3c) to Orthorhombic (Pbnm) symmetry. Small oxygen deficiency was found in the samples. The electrical measurements revealed typical colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) behavior, with single metal–insulator peak at Tp for all investigated samples. The small polaron hopping (SPH) and variable-range hopping (VRH) models were used to describe the electrical conduction above Tp. Magnetic measurements show an increase in magnetization below the Curie temperature, TC. Values of Tc diminish with increasing Gd3+ content. Isothermal measurements around critical points suggest a possible interaction between the 4f-ions and Mn-sublattice The magnetic critical behavior analysis established the tri-critical mean-field model to be the governing model for the series. Large magnetic entropy change ΔSM at near room temperature (278 K) was exhibited by the x = 0.01 sample at 2.2 J/kgK in μ0ΔH = 1 T and 5.36 J/kgK in μ0ΔH = 4 T. The largest |ΔSM| value was shown by the x = 0.1 sample. The values of the relative cooling power (RCP) and the temperature-averaged entropy change (TEC) increased with substitution qualifying these compounds as magnetocaloric materials.

The main aim of the studies was to construct a magnetic phase diagram of the compound in order to verify the hypothesis of the existence of a Lifshitz point in it. Our studies showed that the boundaries between paramagnetic, modulated and uniform magnetic phases do not merge up to 14 T.

We investigate a Josephson junction where the weak link consists of a nanomagnetic dimer, featuring two large, antiferromagnetically coupled spins under simple easy-axis anisotropy. In this setup, the exchange coupling constant serves as a transverse anisotropy constant, and the quantum tunneling of the magnetization is influenced by the supercurrent, which behaves like an external magnetic field applied along the hard axis. Our results demonstrate that the superconducting current induces non-Kramers freezing and unfreezing of the magnetic moment’s tunneling within a biaxial spin model driven by exchange interaction. We derive an exact expression for the quenching condition caused by the exchange coupling. Additionally, we extend our analysis to tunneling phenomena in two antiferromagnetically or ferromagnetically coupled spins biased by the anisotropic exchange interaction, revealing more varied cases of tunnel splitting.

High-spin polarized magnetic materials might be useful in spintronics applications. The spin-polarized magnetic, optical, electronic and structural attributes of half-Heusler VXPt (X = Br, Se) alloys were theoretically explored and calculated using the WIEN2k code. The ground states of the structures are optimized, and the bulk moduli and lattice constants are computed. The values obtained from the formation energies show their stability. For VBrPt, an energy gap is present in major and minority spin carriers, while for VSePt, major spin carriers exhibit an energy gap and metallic character is seen in minority spin carriers. The band structures are further illustrated deeply through the investigation of density of states. The electron density graphs depict the ionic bonding in both alloys. The magnetic moments are additionally assessed, and the recorded values support the magnetic characteristics of VBrPt and VSePt. The assessment of how the studied alloys react to light is determined by computing various parameters. The imaginary component and absorption coefficient anticipate substantial light absorption within the visible region. The calculated outcomes unveiled the potential of the examined alloys for applications in spintronics.

The magnetic properties, magnetocaloric effect, and the critical behavior near Curie temperature (TC) were systematically studied in a series of (Gd1-xErx)3Al2 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) alloys. As the Er content increases, both the TC and lattice constant gradually decrease. The maximum magnetic entropy change and refrigerant capacity remain relatively high, ranging from −5.8 to −8.5J/kg K and 209.0 to 290.8 J/kg respectively, for a field change of 5 T. The critical exponents, derived from the field dependence of magnetic entropy change, conform to scaling theory and are consistent with those obtained using the Kouvel–Fisher method. These findings suggest that the reliability of the obtained critical exponents and imply the presence of long-range exchange interactions in (Gd1-xErx)3Al2 alloys.

In this study, reduced graphene oxide@Co (rGO@Co) powder is obtained by alcoholthermal method, afterwards the different contents of rGO@Co powders are also compounded with Fe81.5Si3B9P3C1Cu1Ti1.5 nanocrystalline powder by high-energy ball milling, obtaining rGO@Co/Fe81.5Si3B9P3C1Cu1Ti1.5 nanocrystalline composite powder, and powder morphology, the nuclear layer structure, soft magnetic properties and corresponding absorbing properties of the materials are studied. The research results are that rGO coats Co and Fe-based nanocrystalline of double magnetic cores in the composite powder, which realizes the synergy of the two magnetic cores to enhance the magnetic loss, is also compatible with the dielectric loss of rGO, and also improves the impedance matching. The minimum reflection loss (RLmin) is −44.18 dB, and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is 5.03 GHz in the amorphous nanocrystalline alloy matrix. When the addition of rGO@Co powder is 1 wt%, the RLmin of composite powder is −52.41 dB (3 mm), which is increased by 18.6 %. The EAB is 6.07 GHz (2 mm), which is increased by 20.7 %.

Magnetic field annealing-induced grain refinement usually occurs during the crystallization process of amorphous alloys. This work investigates the effects of magnetic field annealing on the microstructure and magnetic properties of crystalline Ce17Fe76Co1Zr0.5B6Mo0.5 alloys. The results indicate that magnetic field annealing below the Curie temperature (TC) of the Ce2Fe14B phase in the alloys reduces the alloy’s grain size. At an annealing temperature of 433 K, the average grain size of alloys decreased from 48.0 nm in the as-spun sample to 27.2 nm in the magnetic field annealing sample. Moreover, magnetic field annealing can effectively reduce the volume fraction of the CeFe2 phase in the alloy. After magnetic field annealing at 433 K, the alloy obtained the optimal comprehensive magnetic properties: the intrinsic coercivity (Hci = 441.1 kA/m), remanence (Br = 0.49 T), squareness (Hk/Hci = 0.53), and maximum energy product ((BH)max) = 35.5 kJ/m3), which were 0.2 %, 16.7 %, 6 %, and 29.1 % higher than the values of the as-spun sample, respectively. Precession electron diffraction (PED) analysis revealed that magnetic field annealing increased strain at grain and phase boundaries and a more uniform grain orientation spread (GOS), promoting recrystallization and grain refinement. This study provides new insights into the grain refinement mechanism of crystalline alloys under magnetic field annealing, contributing to further improving the magnetic properties of Ce-Fe-B magnets.

Uncoated and oleic acid coated ferrimagnetic particles are synthesized. Both samples contain similar magnetite particles. Structural characterization of these particles is performed using x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Average crystallite size of magnetite is 7 nm. Thickness of oleic acid layer on each magnetite particle is 1 nm. The oleic acid coated sample contains 23% oleic acid. Temperature dependence of the zero field cooled susceptibility curve of the uncoated magnetite particles peaks at 120 K. The zero field cooled and the field cooled susceptibility versus temperature curves bifurcate at 195 K. The peak temperature and the bifurcation temperature of the system decrease due to the oleic acid coating. The inverse susceptibility does not vary linearly with temperature in high temperature region. Magnetization versus applied magnetic field data at 250 K are analyzed in different ways to study the interparticle interaction effect on magnetization. We find that the interparticle interactions affect the magnetization process of ferrimagnetic nanoparticles.
