We simply discuss mean field theory describing these compounds and the important role of the magnetic anisotropy. The experimental properties of the known Co(Ⅱ)/Mn(Ⅱ) metamagnets are discussed, with emphasis on the variety of means by which the metamagnetic transitions have been observed and studied.展开更多
