Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Whilst magnetocaloric...

The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is thought to be responsible for the stabilization of weak ferromagnetism or magnetic spiral states in a number of diverse systems. An...

The Sr(4-x)Ca(x)Mn2CoO9 compounds are geometrically frustrated transition metal (TM) oxide, which present a variety of interrelated magnetic behavior. The (Mn,Co) TM form a...

Superconductivity in iron-based materials occurs in close proximity to a long-range ordered magnetic phase. In the iron pnictides, uniaxial pressure shifts the magnetic ordering...

Single-molecule magnets (SMM) exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation have attracted increasing interest, both from a fundamental point of view, and for the potential practical...

SMMs have received much attention owing to their quantum tunneling and slow relaxation of the magnetization. This has led to an intense activity by synthetic chemists to...

The rare-earth compound KYbSe2 provides a new chance for the study of frustrated magnets with strong SOC. It resembles YbMgGaO4 in many ways. Our susceptibility and specific...
