Manganese (Mn)- and yttrium (Y)-substituted Sr-nanohexaferrites (MYSNHFs) of composition Sr1−xMnxFe12−xYxO19 (with 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) were prepared by citrate sol-gel autocombustion method. As-prepared MYSNHFs were characterized via diverse analytical techniques to determine the influence of Mn and Y cosubstitution on their microstructures and magnetic properties. 57Fe Mössbauer spectra of the MYSNHFs were used to evaluate the variation in the line width, isomer shift, quadrupole splitting, and hyperfine magnetic field values. It was shown that the dopant ions could preferentially occupy the 12k, 4f2, and 2b sites. Furthermore, the observed shift in the blocking temperatures of the studied MYSNHFs towards lower values with rising Mn2+ and Y3+ contents was attributed to the overall particles size reduction. Meanwhile, the AC susceptibility of the proposed MYSNHFs revealed that the magnetic interactions were weakened with the increase in dopant contents which was ascribed to the replacement of both Sr2+ and Fe3+ ions by the Mn2+ and Y3+ dopants.

The transport properties and the dynamics of the flux lines have been investigated on YBaCuO melt textured by measuring the AC susceptibility harmonics as function of the temperature, at different frequencies and amplitudes of the AC magnetic field. The interpretation of the behavior of the experimental curves has been done by their comparison with the results obtained by critical state pictures and by simulations of the diffusion processes of the magnetic field which determine the AC response in presence of different regimes of flux dynamics. The temperature dependencies of the third harmonics of the AC susceptibility at different frequencies have been used in particular to determine what is the flux dynamic regime governing the magnetic response of melt textured samples in the different experimental conditions. A good qualitative agreement has been found between the experimental curves and the ones simulated by assuming that dissipation processes are a sequence of independent flux creep and flux flow events within a collective pinning framework.

X-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity and ac susceptibility measurements have been carried out on La 1-x Ag x MnO 3 compounds for x=0.05 to 0.30. These samples are found to be in single phase form with [Formula: see text] space group and with typical lattice parameters a=b=5.524Å and c=13.349Å for x=0.05 sample. The Mn–O–Mn bond angles and variance, σ2 are found to increase with doping. Metal-insulator transitions in the temperature range 254 to 259 K have been observed. These materials exhibit paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transitions in the vicinity of metal-insulator transition temperatures. The paramagnetic susceptibility could be analyzed using Curie–Weiss law. All the above samples exhibit colossal magneto-resistivity and its maximum value is found to be 73% for x=0.15 sample at 50 kOe magnetic field.

Irradiation with ultra-short (femtosecond) laser beams enables the generation of sub-wavelength laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) over large areas with controlled spatial periodicity, orientation, and depths affecting only a material layer on the sub-micrometer scale. This study reports on how fs-laser irradiation of commercially available Nb foil samples affects their superconducting behavior. DC magnetization and AC susceptibility measurements at cryogenic temperatures and with magnetic fields of different amplitude and orientation are thus analyzed and reported. This study pays special attention to the surface superconducting layer that persists above the upper critical magnetic field strength Hc2, and disappears at a higher nucleation field strength Hc3. Characteristic changes were distinguished between the surface properties of the laser-irradiated samples, as compared to the corresponding reference samples (non-irradiated). Clear correlations have been observed between the surface nanostructures and the nucleation field Hc3, which depends on the relative orientation of the magnetic field and the surface patterns developed by the laser irradiation.
