We report the existence of a field-induced ferromagnetic transition in the magnetically ordered state ( 5 Si 3 , and this transition is distinctly first order at 1.8 K (near 60 kOe), whereas it appears to become second order near 20 K. The finding we stress is that the electrical resistivity becomes suddenly large in the high-field state after this transition, and this is observed in the entire temperature range in the magnetically ordered state. Such an enhancement of 'positive…

Low temperature irreversible field induced magnetic transition in Gd5Ge3

A first-order magnetic phase transition near 15 K with novel magnetic-field-induced effects in Er5Si3

It thus appears that this compound is characterized by interesting magnetic anomalies in the temperature-magnetic-field phase diagram, indicating novel magnetic phase coexistence phenomenon.

Pressure-induced magnetoresistivity reversal in magnetite

The magnetoresistivity (MR) of nano-powdered magnetite has been measured under pressures up to 19.0 GPa and magnetic fields up to 15 kG. An unexpected quasi-linear positive MR below 6.0 GPa and an MR…

Sharp fall of electrical resistance for a small application of magnetic field on a metastable form of a compound, Tb5Si3, under pressure

We report an unusual sensitivity of electrical resistivity (ρ) to an application of a small magnetic field in an intermetallic compound, Tb5Si3, under pressure. In this compound, there is a…
