The birth of this monograph is partly due to the persistent efforts of the General Editor, Dr.
Klaus Timmerhaus, to persuade the authors that they encapsulate their forty or fifty years of …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the formation of 3D-moments and spin
fluctuations in some rare-earth-cobalt compounds. In combination with large …

An ensemble of superantiferromagnetic NdCu 2 nanoparticles has been produced to
perform a detailed analysis of magnetic excitations using inelastic neutron scattering …

Recently, potential technological interest has been revealed for the production of
magnetocaloric alloys using Rare-Earth intermetallics. In this work, three series of Tb x R 1 …

Ferromagnetic compounds of the series Er x Y 1-x Co 2 (x= 1, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6) have been
investigated in specific-heat, thermal-expansion, magnetisation, AC susceptibility and …

In the present work a model within the mean-field theory is developed in order to analyze the
specific heat of magnetically ordered systems. This model allows to draw conclusions about …

Magnetic nanoparticles exhibit two different local symmetry environments, one ascribed to
the core and one corresponding to the nanoparticle surface. This implies the existence of a …

The effects of Sn or Gd additions on the microstructure and phases transitions of the Cu–
11% Al alloy (composition in wt.) were studied by Vickers microhardness measurements as …

The spontaneous magnetoelastic effects in Gd compounds are reviewed showing that the
strain dependence of the magnetic exchange interactions leads to significant effects. These …
