Properties of condensed spin-aligned atomic hydrogen from variational calculations
1979
The optimal Jastrow-type ground-state wave function of spin-aligned atomic hydrogen is calculated using the pair potential of Kolos and Wolniewicz. The optimization is performed by solving the Euler equation in the hypernetted chain approximation. Accurate energies as well as pair-distribution functions are obtained. The Bose-Einstein condensate fraction is evaluated from the one-particle momentum distribution. The pair distribution function is also used to obtain stability criteria for the system and minimal values for the aligning magnetic field are calculated at low densities. The resulting values of the minimal aligning fields are considerably higher than those obtained previously.
Dynamically stabilized spin superfluidity in frustrated magnets
2020
We study the onset of spin superfluidity, namely coherent spin transport mediated by a topological spin texture, in frustrated exchange-dominated magnetic systems, engendered by an external magnetic field. We show that for typical device geometries used in nonlocal magnetotransport experiments, the magnetic field stabilizes a spin superflow against fluctuations, up to a critical current. For a given current, the critical field depends on the precessional frequency of the texture, which can be separately controlled. We contrast such dynamic stabilization of a spin superfluid to the conventional approaches based on topological stabilization.
Gravity effects on mixing with magnetic micro-convection in microfluidics.
2018
Mixing remains an important problem for development of successful microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip devices, where simple and predictable systems are particularly interesting. One is magnetic micro-convection, an instability happening on the interface of miscible magnetic and non-magnetic fluids in a Hele-Shaw cell under applied field. Previous work proved that Brinkman model quantitatively explains the experiments. However, a gravity caused convective motion complicated the tests. Here we first improve the experimental system to exclude the gravitational convective motion. Afterwards, we observe and quantify how gravity and laminar flow play an important role in stabilizing the perturbations …
Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new cyanide-bridged iron(III)–nickel(II) ferromagnetic chain
2008
Abstract The reaction of the iron(III) unit fac-[Fe{HB(pz)3}(CN)3]− [ HB ( pz ) 3 - = hydrotris ( 1 - pyrazolyl ) borate ] as the lithium salt (1) with the nickel(II) complex mer-[Ni(dpt)(H2O)3](ClO4)2 [dpt = dipropylenetriamine] in water affords the heterometallic compound of formula {[FeIII{HB(pz)3}(CN)3]2[NiII(dpt)]}n · 3nH2O (2). The structure of 2 has been determined by X-ray diffraction on single crystals and their magnetic properties have been investigated in the temperature range 1.9–300 K. Compound 2 is a zigzag chain compound with regular alternating bis-monodentate [Fe(1){HB(pz)3}(CN)3]− units and [Ni(dpt)]2+ cations, the six coordination around the nickel atom being achieved by …
Tunneling and point contact investigations of La1.85Sr0.15CuO4
1987
The high-T c superconductor La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 was investigated by means of point contact and tunneling measurements on small-sized contacts. We find different values for the energy gap at different points of the samples. The ratio 2Delta/k B T c ranges from about 3 to 6. For some point contacts we observe a clear signature of a supercurrent. Data for the temperature dependence of the critical current are presented.
Coexistence of long-range antiferromagnetic order and slow relaxation of the magnetization in the first lanthanide complex of a 1,2,4-benzotriazinyl …
2017
The first lanthanide complex of a 1,2,4-benzotriazinyl radical (1), Dy(1)(tbacac)3 (2, tbacac = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptane-dionato), was synthesised and found to have an antiferromagnetically ordered ground state with a metamagnetic phase diagram and a critical field of 0.91 T at 1.85 K. The application of a small dc field revealed the single-molecule magnet behaviour of 2, illustrating the coexistence of long-range antiferromagnetic order and slow relaxation of the magnetization. peerReviewed
The depolarization field effect on the thin ferroelectric films properties
2002
Abstract The calculation of the spontaneous polarization (Ps), dielectric susceptibility (χ) and pyroelectric coefficient (Π) of the ferroelectric films has been performed in the phenomenological theory framework. Euler–Lagrange equation was solved analytically under the boundary conditions with different extrapolation lengths at two surfaces, respectively. The depolarization field contribution was taken into account in the model of short-circuited mono domain ferroelectric film, treated as perfect insulator. The detailed analysis of the aforementioned quantities’ space distribution and their average values in two cases with and without depolarization field was carried out. It was shown tha…
Electronic properties of *-oriented thin films
2007
Abstract To perform high precision measurements of the transport anisotropy, epitaxial, a *-oriented thin films of UPd 2 Al 3 have been prepared on LaAlO 3 (1 1 0) substrates. The critical temperature T c ≈ 1.75 K and the upper critical field B c 2 ≈ 3 T are comparable to typical bulk values. In contrast to UNi 2 Al 3 , we observed only a weak anisotropy in directional resistivity measurements, especially no dependence of the superconducting transition temperature on the direction of the applied current. Hall effect measurements show two characteristic minima at T = 16 K ≈ T N and T ≈ 6 K , which corresponds to features seen in earlier measurements on c *-oriented films.
Cyano-Bridged Bimetallic Assemblies from Hexacyanometalate, [M(CN)6]3- (M = MnIII and FeIII), and [M(N4-macrocycle)]2+ (M = FeIII, NiII and ZnII) Bui…
2001
Reactions between [M(N4-macrocycle)]2+ (M = ZnII and NiII; macrocycle ligands are either CTH = d,l-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane or cyclam = 1,4, 8, 11-tetrazaazaciclotetradecane) and [M(CN)6]3- (M = FeIII and MnIII) give rise to cyano-bridged assemblies with 1D linear chain and 2D honeycomblike structures. The magnetic measurements on the 1D linear chain complex [Fe(cyclam)][Fe(CN)6]·6H2O 1 points out its metamagnetic behavior, where the ferromagnetic interaction operates within the chain and the antiferromagnetic one between chains. The Neel temperature, TN, is 5.5 K and the critical field at 2 K is 1 T. The unexpected ferromagnetic intrachain interaction can…
Skyrmions and multi-sublattice helical states in a frustrated chiral magnet
2016
We investigate the existence and stability of skyrmions in a frustrated chiral ferromagnet by considering the competition between ferromagnetic (FM) nearest-neighbour (NN) interaction ($J_1$) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) next-nearest-neighbour (NNN) interaction ($J_2$). Contrary to the general wisdom that long-range ferromagnetic order is not energy preferable under frustration, the skyrmion lattice not only exists but is even stable for a large field range when $J_2 \leq J_1$ compared with frustration-free systems. We defend that the enlargement of stability window of skyrmions is a consequence of the reduced effective exchange interaction caused by the frustration. A multi-sublattice helic…
