EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Magnetic structure and magnetocalorics of ${GdPO}_{4}$

E. Palacios, J. A. Rodríguez-Velamazán, M. Evangelisti, G. J. McIntyre, G. Lorusso, D. Visser, L. J. de Jongh, and L. A. Boatner

Phys. Rev. B 90, 214423 (2014) - Published 12 December, 2014

Low-temperature neutron diffraction and field-dependent heat capacity measurements for the monazite GdPO $_{4}$ compound shows some very interesting properties. In particular it displays a large magnetocaloric effect and it shows promise in applications for cooling at very low temperatures.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Transport measurements of the spin-wave parameters of thin Mn films

S. Buvaev, S. Ghosh, K. Muttalib, P. Wölfle, and A. Hebard

Phys. Rev. B 90, 214429 (2014) - Published 17 December, 2014

This paper provides an experimental description and theoretical explanation of how disorder affects electronic transport in antiferromagnetic thin films. The authors find a quantum correction to the conductivity which survives to high disorder strength because of a high rate of inelastic scattering of electrons off of gapped antiferromagnetic spin waves. The data provide first-time estimates of the spin-wave energy gap and exchange energy derived solely from transport measurements. The focus on the unexplored effect of antiferromagnetism on electronic transport provides new perspectives on the role of electronic transport and spin alignment in disordered magnetic systems.
