From magnetic, specific heat, $^{170}\mathrm{Yb}$ M\"ossbauer effect, neutron diffraction, and muon spin relaxation measurements on polycrystalline ${\mathrm{Yb}}_{2}{\mathrm{Sn}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$, we show that below the first order transition at 0.15 K all of ${\mathrm{Yb}}^{3+}$ ions are long-range magnetically ordered each has a moment $1.1{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{\mathrm{B}}$ which lies $\ensuremath{\simeq}10\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ to common fourfold cubic axis.

The dynamical magnetic correlations in ${\mathrm{Tb}}_{2}{\mathrm{Ti}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ have been investigated using polarized inelastic neutron scattering. Dispersive excitations are observed, emerging from pinch points reciprocal space and characterized by an anisotropic spectral weight. Anomalies the crystal field phonon excitation spectrum at Brillouin zone centers also reported. These findings suggest that Coulomb phases, although they present a disordered ground state with dipolar...
Here, it is shown that binary superlattices of Co/Ag nanocrystals with the same size, surface coating, differing by their type crystallinity are governed Co-Co magnetic interactions. By using 9 nm amorphous-phase Co and 4 polycrystalline Ag at 25 °C, triangle-shaped NaCl-type nanocrystal produced driven entropic force, maximizing packing density. contrast, ferromagnetic single domain (hcp) instead Co, dodecagonal quasicrystalline order obtained, together less-packed phases such as CoAg13...
We compare here exchange bias (EB) properties of chemically synthesized core–shell nanoparticles (NPs), based either on a core soft ferrite (MnFe2O4) or hard (CoFe2O4) protected by maghemite shell (γ-Fe2O3). These NPs dispersed in acidic solutions are electrostatically stabilized, yielding to stable colloidal dispersions with strong interparticle repulsion and negligible dipolar interactions the probed range temperatures. Field cooled (FC) magnetic hysteresis loops non-textured frozen (with...
Biocompatible magnetic dispersions have been prepared from γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (5 nm) synthesized by continuous laser pyrolysis of Fe(CO)5 vapours.

Maghemite nanocrystals, deposited by slow evaporation on HOPG (highly oriented pyrolytic graphite) substrate, form mesoscopic structures which strongly depend the nanocrystal coating. When coating consists of citrate ions and octanoic acid, tubelike are formed when deposition process takes place under an applied magnetic field. Conversely, dense films nanocrystals coated with propanoic acid dodecanoic acid. The behaviors markedly differ organization attributed to change in anisotropy...
We have studied the MnGe chiral magnet below ${T}_{\text{N}}=170$ K, by magnetic measurements, M\"ossbauer spectroscopy, and neutron diffraction at ambient under nonhydrostatic pressure. At pressure, we observe coexistence of two phases belonging to same crystal phase in a large temperature range (down 100 K) ${T}_{\mathrm{N}}$: ferromagnetically correlated rapidly fluctuating spins coexist with frozen involved helical order. Applying uniaxial pressure component induces strong texture, where...

We report the discovery of two consecutive, pressure driven magnetic instabilities in ${\mathrm{Yb}}_{2}{\mathrm{Pd}}_{2}\mathrm{Sn}$. They emerge a non-Fermi liquid environment at initial and final point dome-like, single phase pressures ${\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{c}1}\ensuremath{\approx}1$ GPa ${\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{c}2}\ensuremath{\approx}4$ GPa. This singular behavior Yb compounds is supposed to result from mutually competing, modified energy scales, which case...
Inspired by metallic alloys in atomic solids, two distinct nanoparticles are used, considered as “artificial metal atoms,” to engineer ordered binary nanoparticle at the mesoscale, called supracrystals. Here, ferromagnetic 7.2 nm Co used large “A” site particles, while either 4.6 or nonmagnetic 4.0 Ag small “B” particles fabricate long‐range supracrystals with a stoichiometry of AB 2 and 13 . The interparticle distances between within Co/Ag can be tuned control crystal structure from (CoAg )...

We present a model which accounts for the high-field magnetization at very low temperature in frustrated pyrochlore compound Er2Ti2O7. In Er2Ti2O7, Er(3+) ion has planar crystal field anisotropy and material undergoes transition to antiferromagnetism TN = 1.2 K. Our is mean-field self-consistent calculation involving four rare earth sites of tetrahedron, building unit lattice. It includes full Hamiltonian, infinite range dipolar interaction anisotropic nearest neighbour exchange described by...
Assembly of nanoparticles into supracrystals provides a class materials with interesting optical and magnetic properties. However, are mostly obtained from hydrophobic particles therefore cannot be manipulated in aqueous systems, limiting their range applications. Here, we show that hydrophobic-shaped self-assembled 8.2 nm cobalt can dispersed water by coating the lipid vesicles.

The structural evolution of iron during cement paste degradation is studied. An increased concentration has been observed in the surface layer formed when comes into contact with an aggressive solution. While C 4 AF and 3 (A, F)SH are little affected by leaching, calcium silicate hydrates (CSH) become richer trivalent on surface. latter replaces labile non-labile structure, form being predominant.
