Existence of a phase transition under finite magnetic field in the long-range RKKY Ising spin glass DyYRuSi
A phase transition of a model compound of the long-range Ising spin glass
(SG) DyYRuSi, where spins interact via the RKKY
interaction, has been investigated. The static and the dynamic scaling analyses
reveal that the SG phase transition in the model magnet belongs to the
mean-field universality class. Moreover, the characteristic relaxation time in
finite magnetic fields exhibits a critical divergent behavior as well as in
zero field, indicating a stability of the SG phase in finite fields. The
presence of the SG phase transition in field in the model magnet strongly
syggests that the replica symmetry is broken in the long-range Ising SG.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to be published in JPSJ (2010
Specific-heat study for ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases in SrRu_{1-x}Mn_xO3
Low-temperature electronic states in SrRu_{1-x}Mn_xO_3 for x <= 0.6 have been
investigated by means of specific-heat C_p measurements. We have found that a
jump anomaly observed in C_p at the ferromagnetic (FM) transition temperature
for SrRuO_3 changes into a broad peak by only 5% substitution of Mn for Ru.
With further doping Mn, the low-temperature electronic specific-heat
coefficient gamma is markedly reduced from the value at x=0 (33 mJ/K^2 mol), in
connection with the suppression of the FM phase as well as the enhancement of
the resistivity. For x >= 0.4, gamma approaches to ~ 5 mJ/K^2 mol or less,
where the antiferromagnetic order with an insulating feature in resistivity is
generated. We suggest from these results that both disorder and reconstruction
of the electronic states induced by doping Mn are coupled with the magnetic
ground states and transport properties.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, submitted to the proceedings of ICM2009

Magnetic Properties of a Pressure-induced Superconductor UGe
We performed the DC-magnetization and neutron scattering experiments under
pressure {\it P} for a pressure-induced superconductor UGe. We found that
the magnetic moment is enhanced at a characteristic temperature {\it T}
in the ferromagnetic state, where {\it T} is smaller than a Curie
temperature {\it T}. This enhancement becomes remarkable in the
vicinity of {\it P} = 1.20 GPa, where {\it T} becomes 0 K
and the superconducting transition temperature {\it T} shows a
maximum. The characteristic temperature {\it T}, which decreases with
increasing pressure, also depends on the magnetic field.Comment: To be published in J.Phys.Soc.Jp
