Magnetic topological insulators provide an important platform for realizing several exotic quantum phenomena, such as the axion insulating state and anomalous Hall effect, owing to interplay between topology magnetism. MnBi4Te7 is a two-dimensional Z2 antiferromagnetic (AFM) insulator with Néel temperature of ∼13 K. In AFM materials, effect (THE) observed existence nontrivial spin structures. A material noncollinearity that develops in phase rather than at onset order particularly important....

The advent of unique high-entropy oxides has sparked substantial research interest due to their exceptional functional properties, which often surpass the mere sum constituent elements' characteristics. This paper introduces a complex spinel oxide with composition (Ni0.2Mg0.2Co0.2Cu0.2Zn0.2)(Mn0.66Fe0.66Cr0.66)O4. We performed comprehensive structural (x-ray and neutron diffraction), microstructural, magnetic, local electronic structure investigations on this material. Despite material's...
Oxide materials exhibit several structural, magnetic, and electronic properties.

Traditionally, lead and heavy metal containing inorganic oxides dominate the area of ferroelectricity. Although, recently, lightweight non-toxic organic ferroelectrics have emerged as excellent alternatives, achieving higher temperature up to which ferroelectric phase can persist has remained a challenge. Moreover, only few those are single-component molecular were discovered upon revisiting their crystal structures. Here we report novel phenanthroimidazole derivative, not displays notable...
The critical behavior at the ferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase transition of a Griffiths ferromagnet, Ho2NiMnO6, is studied using modified Arrott plot, Kouvel-Fisher, and isotherm analysis. Here, we report second-order conclude from estimated exponents that it unusual do not belong conventional universality classes. However, they obey scaling relationships, which indicates renormalization interactions around temperature. presence in system accounts for observed.
In insulators, the longitudinal resistivity becomes infinitely large at zero temperature. For classic Hall conductivity same time. However, there are special systems, such as two-dimensional quantum isolators, in which a more complex scenario is observed high magnetic fields. Here, we report experimental evidence for quasi-quantized insulator limit of three-dimensional semimetal SrSi2. Our measurements reveal field-range, diverges with decreasing temperature, while approaches value that...
Abstract In this study, we investigated the magnetic ordering and underlying mechanism of Griffiths phase, observed in Ho 2 NiMnO 6 through AC susceptibility measurements. Our results indicate that transition around 86 K corresponds to a paramagnetic ferromagnetic characterized by classical ordering. Notably, nonlinear measurements revealed existence clusters within background well above temperature, establishing as origin Griffiths-like phase Ni/Mn sublattice . study on system provides...
