The Mossbauer Effect(ME) is frequently used to investigate magnetically ordered systems. One usually assumes that the magnetic order induces a hyperfine magnetic field, B hyper fine, at the ME active site. This is the case in the ruthenates, where the

We have performed polarized and unpolarized small angle neutron scattering experiments on single crystals of HoMnO 3 and have found that an increase in magnetic scattering at low momentum transfers begins upon cooling through temperatures close to the spin

Neutron-diffraction and magnetization measurements have been carried out on a series of samples of the magnetorefrigerant Mn1+yFe1−yP1−xGex. The data reveal that the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases correspond to two very distinct crystal structures
