Thermal expansion and magnetovolume studies of the itinerant helical magnet MnSi

Lost heat capacity and entropy in the helical magnet MnSi.

The heat capacity of MnSi at B = 0 and B = 4 T was measured in the temperature range 2.5-100 K. To analyze the data, calculations of the phonon spectrum and phonon density of states in MnSi were performed. The calculated phonon frequencies were confirmed by means of inelastic neutron scattering. The analysis of the data suggests the existence of negative contributions to the heat capacity and e...

Non-Fermi Liquid Behavior in a Weak Itinerant Ferromagnet MnSi

MnSi is a weak itinerant helimagnet with a relatively low order magnetic moment. Temperature dependance of resistivity shows that it enters non-Fermi liquid state above a critical pressure pc which remains to be understood. The observed partial magnetic order above pc indicates novel metallic state. Here, Fermi liquid and non-Fermi liquid theories are discussed with the main focus on the temper...

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

Magnetovolume Effect and Negative Thermal Expansion in Mn3(Cu1 xGex)N

Metallic manganese nitrides Mn3AN (A 1⁄4 Zn, Ga, etc) are well-known for their large magnetovolume effect (MVE), i.e., a discontinuous volume expansion at the magnetic transition. However, MVE is exceptionally absent in Mn3CuN. We found that MVE is recovered by a small amount of Ge in the Cu site. This revival seems to coincide with recovery of the cubic structure. By further Ge doping, the vol...
