Abstract Manganese oxides (R, A) MnO 3 (R= La, Y, Bi or rare earth metal, A= non-trivalent
doping element) have been one focus of research for two outstanding properties:(i) …

Control over charge carrier density provides an efficient way to trigger phase transitions and
modulate the optoelectronic properties of materials. This approach can also be used to …

The past two decades have witnessed the rapid development of nanocalorimetry, a novel
materials characterization technique that employs micromachined calorimetric sensors. The …

The critical properties of perovskite manganite La 0.1 Nd 0.6 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 around the
paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition are investigated through various techniques …

CrGeTe 3 recently emerges as a new two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic semiconductor
that is promising for spintronic device applications. Unlike CrSiTe 3 whose magnetism can …

The nature of ferromagnetic phase transition and its critical properties in La0. 7Ca0. 3−
xSrxMnO3 (x= 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.25) single crystals have been studied systematically …

Understanding the impact of reduced dimensionality on the magnetic and magnetocaloric
responses of a material is vital in incorporating it as an active magnetic refrigerant in cooling …

We propose an inequality on bulk viscosity of strongly coupled gauge theory plasmas that
allow for a dual supergravity description. Using explicit example of the N= 2∗ gauge theory …

The large, so-called colossal magnetoresistivity of doped LaMnO 3 has attracted
considerable attention, but is only one unusual feature of the ferromagnetic transition in …

This letter reports a giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE) in a novel series of materials based
on the shape memory alloy Ni 2 MnGa. The origin of an enhanced GMCE is traced to the …
