Abstract
A series of disordered Ca1.5La0.5FeRuO6, CaLaFeRuO6 and La2FeRuO6 double perovskites were prepared by the solid-state reaction method and investigated by neutron powder diffraction, X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analysis at the Ru-K edge, Mössbauer spectroscopy, DC magnetization and resistivity measurements. All compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic crystal structure with the space group Pbnm down to 3 K, showing a random distribution of Fe and Ru at the B site. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates oxygen deficiency in the Ca-rich and formal oxygen hyperstoichiometry in the La-rich members of the present series. While Mössbauer spectra verify the Fe3+ state for all compositions, the XANES study reveals a variable Run+ oxidation state which decreases with increasing La content. The end member actually is a Ru3+/Ru4+ compound with possibly some cation vacancies. From magnetic susceptibility and neutron diffraction measurements, the presence of a G-type antiferromagnetic ordering was observed with a drastic increase in transition temperature from 275 K (Ca1.5La0.5FeRuO6) to 570 K (La2FeRuO6). Mössbauer spectroscopy confirms the presence of long-range ordering but, due to local variations in the exchange interactions, the magnetic states are microscopically inhomogeneous. All the samples are variable range hopping semiconductors. A complex interplay between structural features, charge states, anion or cation defects, and atomic disorder determines the magnetic properties of the present disordered 3d/4d double perovskite series.

Abstract
In this work, we report the successful synthesis of a new intermetallic compound Dy2Ni0.87Si2.95 forming in single phase only with a chemically disordered structure. The random distribution of Ni/Si and crystal defects create a variation in the local electronic environment between the magnetic Dy ions. In the presence of both disorder and competing exchange interactions driven magnetic frustration, originating due to c/a ∼ 1, the compound undergoes spin freezing behaviour below 5.6 K. In the non-equilibrium state below the spin freezing behaviour, the compound exhibits aging phenomena and magnetic memory effects. In the magnetically short-range ordered region, much above the freezing temperature, an unusual occurrence of considerable magnetic entropy change, -ΔSmaxM ∼ 21 J kg-1 K-1 with large cooling power RCP ∼ 531 J kg-1 and adiabatic temperature change, ΔTad ∼ 10 K for a field change of 70 kOe, is observed for this short range ordered cluster-glass compound without any magnetic hysteresis loss.
