We investigated the width (N) dependence on the magnetization of N-ZSiC NR with electron and hole doping on the basis of systematic DFT calculations. The critical values of the upper and down critical concentration to give the maximum and zero magnetic moment at edge Si/C atoms by electron/hole doping ($x_{up,e}$, $x_{down,e}$, $x_{up,h}$, and $x_{down,h}$) depend on the width of N-ZSiC NR. Moreover, due to $x_{up,e}\;{\neq}\;x_{up,h}$ and $x_{down,e}\;{\neq}\;x_{down,h}$, the electron and hole doping effect are asymmetry, i.e, the critical electron doping value ($x_{down,e}$) is smaller than the critical hole doping value ($x_{down,h}$) and is almost independent of the width of NZSiC NR though the other critical values of the electron and hole doping that influence the magnetization of N-ZSiC NR depend on the width. It was also found that at $x_{down,e}$ or $x_{down,h}$ doping, the N-ZSiC NR turns into unusual non-magnetic metallic state. The magnetic behavior was discussed based on the band structures and projected density of states (PDOS) under the effect of electron/hole doping.

Cesium lead halide ($CsPbX_3$) nanocrystals have emerged as a new family of semiconductor nanomaterials that can outperform existing semiconductor nanocrystals owing to their superb optical and charge transport properties. Although these materials are expected to have many superior properties, control of the quantum confinement and isoelectronic magnetic doping, which can greatly enhance their optical, electronic, and magnetic properties, has faced significant challenges. These obstacles have hindered full utilization of the benefits that can be obtained by using $CsPbX_3$ nanocrystals exhibiting strong quantum confinement or coupling between exciton and magnetic dopants, which have been extensively explored in many other semiconductor quantum dots. Here, we review progress made during the past several years in tackling the issues of introducing controllable quantum confinement and doping of $Mn^{2+}$ ions as the prototypical magnetic dopant in colloidal $CsPbX_3$ nanocrystals.

$NaTa_{1-x}Fe_xO_3$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}0.40$) nanocubes were synthesized by a relatively low temperature hydrothermal method, using $Ta_2O_5$, $FeCl_3$ and NaOH as the precursors. The UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra showed that $NaTa_{1-x}Fe_xO_3$ had significant visible-light-absorbing capability, and the absorption edge of $NaTaO_3$ shifted to longer wavelength with the increase of Fe dopants. Moreover, $NaTa_{1-x}Fe_xO_3$ exhibited room-temperature ferromagnetism when $Fe^{3+}$ occupied $Ta^{5+}$ sites in $NaTaO_3$ crystal lattice. The ferromagnetism is mainly attributed to the superexchange interactions between doped $Fe^{3+}$, rather than the contribution of oxygen vacancies caused by Fe doping. Therefore, Fe doping can simultaneously regulate the optical and magnetic properties of $NaTaO_3$ semiconductor, which will enable its potential applications in multifunctional optical-electronics and opticalspintronics devices.

The effects of additional P-doping on the magnetic properties, thermal stability and cation distribution of Co-doped ${\gamma}-{Fe_2} {O_3}$have been investigated by means of magnetic annealing and measurements with vibration sample magnetometer and torque magnetometer. It is found that the P-doping promotes the coercivity and its magnetic-thermal stability, which may be attributed to increase of the cubic magneto-crystalline anisotropy constant, $K_1$ and the activation energy, E, for cation rearrangement, respectively. The cation distribution of P and Co-substituted iron oxide was calculated from the variation of the saturation magnetization with P-doping on the basis of the Neel model. It was found that the most of P ions in the iron oxides occupied the B-site of spinel lattice.

[ $BiFeO_3$ ]is a multiferroic material that attracts attentions of many research groups due to its potential as being ferroelectric and ferromagnetic above room temperature. We have prepared both undoped- and Mn-doped $BiFeO_3$ by sol-gel auto-ignition method. Doping of Mn has resulted in decreasing grain size from 60 to 32 nm. X-ray diffraction data show that the samples are pure and single-phase. Infrared measurements on $BiFeO_3$ and Mn-doped $BiFeO_3$ revealed intrinsic stretching vibrations of tetrahedral sites of $Fe^{3+}$-O and of octahedral $Bi^{3+}$-O as well. On the other hand, as the Mn concentration increases, the magnetic moment of $BiFeO_3$ increases. It gives some suggestions in manipulating structural and magnetic properties of $BiFeO_3$ by doping Mn.

The structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of $CoMn_{1-x}Cr_xGe$ (x=0.05-0.125) have been investigated by using electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, calorimetric and magnetic measurements. In this study, our aim is to justify the magnetocaloric effect by tuning the structural and magnetic transition temperature with Cr doping on CoMnGe pure system. The substitution of Cr for Mn leads to a decrease of both structural and magnetic transition temperatures. However, structural and magnetic transition temperatures do not close to each other. From magnetization measurement, we calculate that isothermal entropy change associated with magnetic transition can be as high as 3.82 J $kg^{-1}K^{-1}$ at 302 K in a field of 7 T. Meanwhile, structural phase transition contribution to isothermal entropy change is calculated as 5.85 J $kg^{-1}K^{-1}$ at 322 K for 7 T.

Electromagnetic properties of $CeO_2$ doped and undoped YBaCuO superconductors were evaluated to investigate the effect of pinning center on the magnetization and magnetic shielding. The variation $\DeltaM$ with doping was maximum for 3% doping and decrease with further doping. The magnetic shielding was evaluated by measuring the induced voltage in secondary coil and the voltage initially set to 0.5V, decreased to 0.17V and 0.28V respectively for the undoped and 3% $CeO_2$ doped sample. The much less change in the induced voltage for the 3% doped sample is attributed to the increased flux shielding by shielding vortex current. The $CeO_2$ was converted to fine $BaCeO_3$ particles which were trapped in YBaCuO superconductor during the reaction sintering. The trapped fine particles, $BaCeO_3$ may be acted as a flux pinning center.

The waste of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets was recycled using the method of dopingPrNd nanoparticles. The effect of PrNd nanoparticle doping on the magnetic properties of the regenerated magnets has been studied. As the content of the PrNd nanoparticles increases, the coercivity increases monotonically, whereas both the remanence and the maximum energy products reach the maximum values for 4 wt% PrNd doping. Microstructural observation reveals that the appropriate addition of PrNd nanoparticles improves the magnetic properties and refines the grain. Domain investigation shows that the self-pinning effect of the rare earth (Re)-rich phase is enhanced by PrNd nano-particle doping. Compared to the magnet with 4 wt% PrNd alloy prepared using the dual-alloy method, the regenerated magnet doped with the same number of PrNd nanoparticles exhibits better magnetic properties and a more homogeneous microstructure. Therefore, it is concluded that PrNd nanoparticle doping is an efficient method for recycling the leftover scraps of Nd-Fe-B magnets.

졸-겔(sol-gel) 방법을 이용하여 제작된 산소결핍(oxygen vacancy)들을 내포하는 Ni 도핑된 루타일(rutile) 구조의 $TiO_{2-{\delta}}$ 박막들에 대하여 그 자기적 성질 및 관련된 전자구조적 성질에 대하여 조사분석 하였다. $TiO_{2-{\delta}}$:Ni 박막들에서 상온 강자성이 관측되었으며 Ni 도핑량이 증가할수록 포화 자화량($M_s$)이 점차 감소하여 6 at% 이상에서 일정한 값으로 유지되었다. 이와 같은 Ni 도핑량 6 at% 이하에서의 강자성 현상은 산소결핍 자리에 속박된 전자를 매개로 그 주위에 존재하는 불순물 이온들의 자기 능률들이 강자성 정렬을 이루게 되는 자기 폴라론(magnetic polaron)의 형성에 의한 것으로 해석된다. 소량의 Ni 도핑 시 각 이온당 최대 $3.7{\mu}_B/Ni$의 큰 $M_s$ 값이 나타났으며 6 at% 이상에서의 일정한 $M_s$ 값은 Ni cluster 형성에 의한 것으로 해석된다. 이와 같은 Ni cluster의 존재는 시료들에 대한 Hall 측정 결과 나타난 Ni 도핑량 증가에 따르는 p-n 전도성 전이를 설명하여 줄 수 있다.

We have studied effects of the partial substitution of $La^{3+}$ for $A^{2+}$ on the magnetic properties of double perovskites $A_2FeMoO_6$ (A=Ca, Sr and Ba). Polycrystalline $A_{2-x}La_xFeMoO_6(0{\leq}x{\leq}0.2)$ samples have been prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction in a stream of 5% $H_2$/Ar gas. The x-ray data indicate that A=Ca is monoclinic with the space group P$2_1$/n, A=Sr is tetragonal with the space group I4/mmm, and A=Ba is cubic with the space group Fm3m. The substitution of $La^{3+}$ for $A^{2+}$ results in a cell volume increase for A=Ca and a cell volume reduction for A=Ba. The decrease of saturation magnetization with increasing x arises from the reduction of magnetic moment associated with the electron doping and the disorder at the Fe and Mo sites. The partial substitution of magnetic $La^{3+}$ for $A^{2+}$ considerably enhances the Curie temperature $T_c$ from 316 K for x = 0 to 334 K for x = 0.2. This enhancement of $T_c$ with $La^{3+}$ doping originates from electron doping effects in addition to ionic size ones.
