The aim of present work was to study the influence of partial substitution of Co by Mn in the LaFe_{11.2}Co_{0.7}Si_{1.1} alloy on its structure and magnetic properties. The X-ray diffraction studies revealed coexistence of dominant pseudobinary fcc La(Fe,Si)_{13}-type phase with minor fraction of α-Fe. Moreover, the increase of Mn content causes decrease of the lattice parameter and the Curie temperature. The values of magnetic entropy change obtained for both investigated alloys are almost identical and close to 12 J/(kg K) under the change of external magnetic field ≈5 T. Investigations of magnetic phase transition confirmed its second order nature in the case of both specimens.

The efficiency of bio-molecular motors stems from reversible interactions ∼ k B T; weak bonds stabilizing intermediate states (enabling direct conversion of chemical into mechanical energy). For their (unknown) origins, we suggest that a magnetically structured phase (MSP) formed via accretion of superparamagnetic particles (S-PPs) during serpentinization (including magnetite formation) of igneous rocks comprising the Hadean Ocean floor, had hosted motor-like diffusion of ligand-bound S-PPs through its ‘template’-layers. Ramifications range from optical activity to quantum coherence. A gentle flux gradient offers both detailed-balance breaking non-equilibrium and asymmetry to a magnetic dipole, undergoing infinitesimal spin-alignment changes. Periodic perturbation of this background by local H-fields of templatepartners can lead to periodic high and low-template affinity states, due to the dipole’s magnetic degree of freedom. An accompanying magnetocaloric effect allows interchange between system-entropy and bath temperature. We speculate on a magnetic reproducer in a setting close to the submarine hydrothermal mound-scenario of Russell and coworkers that could evolve bio-ratchets.

A series of multiferroic materials with the compositional formula RMn2O5 (where R=Tb, Dy andHo)were prepared by the solid state reaction technique. After characterising the samples structurally, a systematic investigation of specific heat, magnetization and dielectric studies has been undertaken, over a temperature range of 4–300 K. Based on these studies, it has been observed that all the samples exhibit multiple transitions below 45 K. A large magnetic anisotropy, primarily originating from spin-orbit coupling of R3+ moments was clearly observed in these materials. Finally, the magneto-caloric effect (MCE) computations were also carried out, mainly to examine the feasibility of using these materials as magnetic refrigerants. Suitable qualitative explanations for the various phenomena observed in this investigation are given.

The work highlights peculiar features of synthesis and summarizes important properties of nanoparticles and films based on two types of oxide magnets: with spinel and perovskite-type structures. The attention is drawn to the differences in the processes underlying the formation of crystalline phase in the materials of each group. It is shown that for the spinels, the formation of weakly agglomerated crystalline nanoparticles can occur in the process of synthesis, but for the perovskite-like magnets, the formation of crystalline nanoparticles requires additional high-temperature treatment. It is demonstrated that synthesized nanoparticles and films may find wide practical applications, particularly as the heat mediators in hyperthermia treatment therapy, as components of left-handed media, ferroelectric-ferromagnetic layered structures and composite microwave resonators. They also may be used as integral parts of composite structures, which possess magnetic-field-controlled properties and display giant magnetocaloric effect.
