Cross-sublattice Spin Pumping and Magnon Level Attraction in van der Waals Antiferromagnets

2020

We theoretically study spin pumping from a layered van der Waals antiferromagnet in its canted ground state into an adjacent normal metal. We find that the resulting dc spin pumping current bears contributions along all spin directions. Our analysis allows for detecting intra- and cross-sublattice spin-mixing conductances via measuring the two in-plane spin current components. We further show that sublattice symmetry-breaking Gilbert damping can be realized via interface engineering and induces a dissipative coupling between the optical and acoustic magnon modes. This realizes magnon level attraction and exceptional points in the system. Furthermore, the dissipative coupling and cross-subla…

Chemical disorder and Pb207 hyperfine fields in the magnetoelectric multiferroic Pb(Fe1/2Sb1/2)O3 and its solid solution with Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3

2018

We report on the results of magnetic susceptibility, electron paramagnetic resonance, and $^{207}\mathrm{Pb}$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of the magnetoelectric multiferroic $\mathrm{Pb}(\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}}_{1/2}\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{b}}_{1/2}){\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (PFS) ceramic, as well as its solid solution with $\mathrm{Pb}(\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}}_{1/2}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{b}}_{1/2}){\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (PFN) of different degrees of the 1:1 ordering of magnetic $\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}}^{3+}$ and nonmagnetic $\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{b}}^{5+}$ ions. The ordering has been studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and NMR methods. In particular, two spectral lines, originating from the ordered and dis…

A field induced ferromagnetic-like transition below 2.8 K in Li2CuO2: An experimental and theoretical study

1998

The low temperature magnetic properties of the Li2CuO2 compound have been investigated by means of superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. We find in addition to an antiferromagnetic phase below 9.5 K a ferromagnetic-like steep rise of the magnetization around 2.8 K. The observed low temperature behavior is discussed by considering second and fourth order magnetocrystalline effective anisotropy coefficients, in addition to the exchange couplings reported in the literature. Work at the Institut de Ciencia dels Materials was supported by the Spanish Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Technología Grant No. CICYT MAT 96-1037.

GAUSSIAN EFFECTIVE POTENTIAL AND ANTIFERROMAGNETISM IN THE HUBBARD MODEL

2012

The Gaussian Effective Potential (GEP) is shown to be a useful variational tool for the study of the magnetic properties of strongly correlated electronic systems. The GEP is derived for a single band Hubbard model on a two-dimensional bi-partite square lattice in the strong coupling regime. At half-filling the antiferromagnetic order parameter emerges as the minimum of the effective potential with an accuracy which improves over RPA calculations and is very close to that achieved by Monte Carlo simulations. Extensions to other magnetic systems are discussed.

An unusual magnetic response in a π-stacked 66-dia net structure of [4 + 2] copper(II) cubane

2015

A phenoxo bridged antiferromagnetic copper(II) cubane features a π-stacked 66-dia net framework and creates long range ferromagnetic ordering, as evidenced from a coercivity maximum (∼2000 Oe) at 20 K with very unusual saturation magnetization.

Room-temperature spin-orbit torque in NiMnSb

2015

Materials that crystalize in diamond-related lattices, with Si and GaAs as their prime examples, are at the foundation of modern electronics. Simultaneously, the two atomic sites in the unit cell of these crystals form inversion partners which gives rise to relativistic non-equilibrium spin phenomena highly relevant for magnetic memories and other spintronic devices. When the inversion-partner sites are occupied by the same atomic species, electrical current can generate local spin polarization with the same magnitude and opposite sign on the two inversion-partner sites. In CuMnAs, which shares this specific crystal symmetry of the Si lattice, the effect led to the demonstration of electric…

Characterisation of the magnetic iron phases in Clovis Class rocks in Gusev crater from the MER Spirit Mössbauer spectrometer

2007

Abstract Mossbauer backscattering spectra of eight Martian rocks, acquired by the MIMOS II spectrometer of Rover Spirit (MER-A) and containing goethite in addition to other iron minerals, have been selected for in-depth numerical analysis. Where feasible, different temperature windows for a given rock were considered. A novel calibration/folding procedure, exclusively based on the fitted positions of the eight prominent absorption lines in the transmission spectra of the reference target and not relying on the error signal of the MIMOS II spectrometer, has been developed. It is demonstrated that this procedure yields reliable and reasonably accurate values for the adjusted Mossbauer paramet…

Spin texture motion in antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic nanowires

2017

We propose a Hamiltonian dynamics formalism for the current and magnetic field driven dynamics of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic domain walls in one dimensional systems. To demonstrate the power of this formalism, we derive Hamilton equations of motion via Poisson brackets based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert phenomenology, and add dissipative dynamics via the evolution of the energy. We use this approach to study current induced domain wall motion and compute the drift velocity. For the antiferromagnetic case, we show that a nonzero magnetic moment is induced in the domain wall, which indicates that an additional application of a magnetic field would influence the antiferromagnetic do…

Stroboscopic detection of nuclear resonance in an arbitrary scattering channel

2015

The theory of heterodyne/stroboscopic detection of nuclear resonance scattering is developed, starting from the total scattering matrix as a product of the matrix of the reference sample and the sample under study. This general approach holds for any dynamical scattering channel. The forward channel, which is discussed in detail in the literature, reveals the speciality that electronic scattering causes only an energy independent diminution of the intensity. For all other channels, complex resonance line shapes in the heterodyne/stroboscopic spectra - as a result of interference of electronic and nuclear scattering - is encountered. The grazing incidence case is evaluated and described in d…
