This review aims to summarize more than 100 years of research on spinel compounds,
mainly focusing on the progress in understanding their magnetic, electronic, and polar …

Spin-lattice effects play an important role in many magnetic materials. In this short review,
we give some examples of such effects studied in low-dimensional, frustrated as well as …

Crystal structures with degenerate electronic orbitals are unstable towards lattice distortions
that lift the degeneracy. Although these Jahn–Teller distortions have profound effects on …

Dynamical properties of the lattice structure were studied by optical spectroscopy in A Cr 2 O
4 chromium spinel oxide magnetic semiconductors over a broad temperature region of T …

The magnetic-field and temperature dependencies of the ultrasound propagation and
magnetization of single-crystalline CoCr 2 O 4 have been studied in static and pulsed …

Chromite nanospinels of MCr 2 O 4 (M= Co, Zn, Mg and Cd) have been synthesized using a
microwave combustion method. The spinel phase and average particles size have been …

We investigated the magnetic and magnetoelastic properties of MnSc 2 Se 4 single crystals
at low temperature under a magnetic field directed along the crystallographic [111] axis. The …

Long-range entanglement in quantum spin liquids (QSLs) leads to novel low-energy
excitations with fractionalized quantum numbers and (in two dimensions) statistics …

We investigate the crystallographic and magnetic properties of a chromium-based thiospinel
CuGaCr 4 S 8. From a synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiment and structural refinement, Cu …

We report on the magnetocaloric effect and ultrasound studies of the frustrated quasi-one-
dimensional spin-1/2 compound LiCuVO 4, evidencing a spin-nematic state. The magnetic …
