Perovskite DyMn0.33Fe0.67O3 experiences a paramagnetism-antiferromagnetism transition at 450K and spin reorientation at 290 K. Magnetodielectric properties were studied around the spin reorientation transition. Both giant positive and giant negative magnetodielectric coupling (MDC) were observed near room temperature. The MDC shows strong temperature and frequency dependence, and the sign changes from positive to negative when magnetic state transits from a canted antiferromagnetic state to a collinear antiferromagnetic state. Possible mechanisms are proposed based on the Maxwell-Wagner model, phase transition, the magnetoresistance effect, and spin-phonon coupling.

"Topological insulators, a new class of condensed matter having bulk insulating states and gapless metallic surface states, have demonstrated fascinating quantum effects. However, the potential practical applications of the topological insulators are still under exploration worldwide. We demonstrate that nanosheets of a Bi2Te3 topological insulator several quintuple layers thick display giant and linear magnetoresistance. The giant and linear magnetoresistance achieved is as high as over 600% at room temperature, with a trend towards further increase at higher temperatures, as well as being weakly temperature-dependent and linear with the field, without any sign of saturation at measured fields up to 13 …

Anisotropic interlayer magneto-transport properties have been studied over a broad range of temperatures and magnetic fields in p-type Sb2Te3 single crystals. Giant interlayer magnetoresistance (MR) of up to 400% was observed, which exhibits quadratic field dependences in low fields and becomes linear at high fields without any trend towards saturation. The interlayer MR displays strong anisotropy and is attributable to the anisotropy of the Fermi surface. The observed giant anisotropic interlayer MR could find applications in p-type Sb2Te3 based magneto-electronic devices.
