We show that the first order magneto-structural phase transitions observed in various
classes of magnetic solids are often accompanied by useful multi-functional properties …

The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) was measured to probe the nature of phase coexistence of
structurally different ferromagnetic metallic (FMM) and charge-ordered insulating phases in …

We report investigations on the ground-state magnetic properties of the intermetallic
compound GdCu through dc magnetization measurements. GdCu undergoes first-order …

Bulk manganites of the form La 5/8− y Pr y Ca 3/8 MnO 3 (LPCMO) exhibit a complex phase
diagram due to coexisting charge-ordered antiferromagnetic (CO/AFM), charge-disordered …

The competition among different phases in perovskite manganites is pronounced since their
energies are very close under the interplay of charge, spin, orbital and lattice degrees of …

The commensurate La 0.67 Ca 0.33 MnO 3 films, of which the bulk is a ferromagnetic-metal

Strongly correlated perovskite oxides exhibit a plethera of intriguing phenomena and
stimulate a great potential for multifunctional device applications. Utilizing tunable uniaxial …

The first-order antiferromagnetic (AFM) to ferromagnetic (FM) transition in the functional
material Fe 49 (Rh 0.93 Pd 0.07) 51 has been studied at low temperatures and high …

We report a comprehensive investigation of the triple perovskite iridate Ba 3 Co Ir 2 O 9.
Stabilizing in the hexagonal P 6 3/mmc symmetry at room temperature, this system …

We study through the time evolution of magnetization the low-temperature (T) dynamics of
the metastable coexisting phases created by traversing different paths in magnetic field H …
