Antiferromagnetism of Mn Alloys
Most Mn alloys exhibit antiferromagneto properties due to their occupation of 3d orbitals close to half-filling. There are many systems having a complex (non-collinear) magnetic structure, depending on the num...

Itinerant-Electron Metamagnetism
There are many materials which exhibit the first-order transition caused by changing external parameters such as magnetic field, pressure and temperature as well as internal parameters such as exchange field a...

Magnetic Properties of Quasicrystals
After the discovery of an icosahedral (I) Al-Mn phase (Shechtman et al. 19841), there was immediately great interest in determining whether similar phases would form in other alloy systems. A number of quasicryst...
