Characterization of the steplike SdSE in some typical d-electron-based FM, WFM, and AFM materials

Materials	Magnetic ordering	TC/TN	αstep	MO	Refs.
		(K)	(μV/K)	(μB)
Co2TiSn	FM	355	−40	1.97	Balke et al.,12, 13 Barth et al.12, 13
MnSi	FM	29	8	0.45	Lamago et al.,14, 15 Hirokane et al.14, 15
Ni	FM	627	10	~0.6	Tang et al.,16, 17 Abadlia et al.16, 17
CaFe4Sb12	WFM	50a	∼15	0.5	Takabatake et al.,18, 19 Schnelle et al.18, 19
Fe2V0.9Cr0.1Al0.9Si0.1	WFM	160	7	0.4	Tsujii et al.5
MnTe (0.3% Li)	AFM	307	150	4.55	Zheng et al.6
YbMn2Sb2	AFM	120	−15	3.6b	Nikiforov et al.,20, 21 Morozkin et al.20, 21

Among these, Co₂TiSn and CaFe₄Sb₁₂ are representatives of a large group of magnetic Heusler and filled skutterudite compounds, respectively, with similar α(T) profiles, see Balke et al.12, 18 and Takabatake et al.12, 18

^aWhile a clear indication of ferromagnetic ordering is absent, CaFe₄Sb₁₂ shows a shoulder at T ≈ 50 K in magnetic susceptibility due to incipient ferromagnetism.¹⁹

^bIn YbMn₂Sb₂, magnetic moment originates from Mn d bands and divalent Yb ion is nonmagnetic.
