This article examines the characteristics of the magnetic phase transition in the chiral magnet MnSi and the weak first-order phase transition in the model ferroelectric KH2PO4 (KDP), analyzes the results of magnetoresistance and Hall effect measurements in MnSi and Mn(Co)Si, and presents data indicating the existence of a quantum critical region near T = 0 in the Mn(Co, Fe)Si and a mysterious universal line indicating that the contribution of spin fluctuations to the heat capacity is independent of the concentration and nature of impurities.

Typically, an English full text is available in about 1 month from the date of publication of the original article.
