To complete the experiments and characterize the AFM to FM phase transition, various magnetic field strengths and orientations will be applied to probe 2. Then, the resultant resistance will be plotted as a function of temperature. It is expected that these new results will provide new physical insight into the nature of the thermodynamics of the AFM to FM phase transition.
