Search for magnetic minerals in Martian rocks: Overview of the Rock Abrasion Tool (RAT) magnet investigation on Spirit and Opportunity
2008
[1] The Rock Abrasion Tool (RAT) on board the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) is a grinding tool designed to remove dust coatings and/or weathering rinds from rocks and expose fresh rock material. Four magnets of different strengths that are built into the structure of the RAT have been attracting substantial amounts of magnetic material during RAT activities from rocks throughout both rover missions. The RAT magnet experiment as performed on Spirit demonstrates the presence of a strongly ferrimagnetic phase in Gusev crater rocks, which based on Mossbauer and visible/near-infrared reflectance spectra is interpreted as magnetite. The amount of abraded rock material adhering to the magnets vari…
Synthesis and characterisation of a novel ferrimagnetic chain based on copper(II) and rhenium(IV)
2019
Abstract A novel one-dimensional copper(II)–rhenium(IV) coordination polymer of formula {[ReIVBr4(μ-ox)CuII(pyim)2]·MeCN}n (1) [ox = oxalate anion, pyim = 2-(2′-pyridyl)imidazole] has been prepared and characterised. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements on a sample of 1 support the purity of the bulk sample, whereas single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that 1 crystallises in the orthorhombic system with space group Pbca. The crystal structure of 1 is made up of [CuII(pyim)2]2+ cations and [ReBr4(ox)]2− anions linked through bridging bromide and oxalate groups, which generate alternating CuII and ReIV chains. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements performed on 1 reveal …
Pre- and post-synthetic modulation of the ordering temperatures in a family of anilato-based magnets
2019
We report the synthesis and characterization of six novel heterometallic molecule-based 2D magnets with the bromanilato ligand (C6O4Br22− = 1,3-dibromo-2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone dianion) and six different benzene derivative molecules. The compounds, formulated as (NBu4)[MnCr(C6O4Br2)3]·1.75C6H5Br (1), (NBu4)[MnCr(C6O4Br2)3]·C6H5X with X = Cl (2), I (3) and CH3 (4) and (NBu4)[MnCr(C6O4Br2)3]·2C6H5X with X = CN (5) and NO2 (6), present the classical hexagonal honeycomb-(6,3) lattice with alternating Mn(II) and Cr(III) ions. The layers are packed in an eclipsed way along the a direction giving rise to hexagonal channels where the benzene derivative molecules are located with π–π interacti…
Quantification of pedogenic particles masked by geogenic magnetic fraction
2021
AbstractPedogenic magnetic fraction in soils is attributed to fine-grained particles, i.e. superparamagnetic grains. In the case of a strongly magnetic geogenic fraction, pedogenic magnetic contribution is hard to detect. To the best of our knowledge, detailed research into the masking of pedogenic superparamagnetic grains and quantification of this effect has not yet been carried out. The principal aim of our research is to quantify the influence of coarse-grained ferrimagnetic fraction on the detection of the superparamagnetic grains. In order to describe the masking phenomenon, volume and frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility were determined on a set of laboratory prepared samples …
Interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and chiral magnetic textures in a ferrimagnetic insulator
2019
The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in multilayers of heavy metal and ferromagnetic metals enables the stabilization of novel chiral spin structures such as skyrmions. Magnetic insulators, on the other hand can exhibit enhanced dynamics and properties such as lower magnetic damping and therefore it is of interest to combine the properties enabled by interfacial DMI with insulating systems. Here, we demonstrate the presence of interfacial DMI in heterostructures that include insulating magnetic layers. We use a bilayer of perpendicularly magnetized insulating thulium iron garnet (TmIG) and the heavy metal platinum, and find a surprisingly strong interfacial DMI that, comb…
Magnetism of monomer MnO and heterodimer FePt@MnO nanoparticles
2017
We report about the magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic (AF) MnO nanoparticles (NPs) with different sizes (6--19 nm). Using a combination of polarized neutron scattering and magnetometry, we were able to resolve previously observed peculiarities. Magnetometry, on the one hand, reveals a peak in the zero-field-cooled (ZFC) magnetization curves at low temperatures $(\ensuremath{\sim}25$ K) but $no$ feature around the N\'eel temperature at 118 K. On the other hand, polarized neutron scattering shows the expected behavior of the AF order parameter vanishing around 118 K. Moreover, hysteresis curves measured at various temperatures reveal an exchange-bias effect, indicating a coupling of an…
Temperature dependence of x-ray absorption spectra in the ferromagnetic Heusler alloysMn2VAlandCo2FeAl
2010
We investigate the temperature dependence of the spin-resolved unoccupied density of states (DOS) in ferromagnetic ${\text{Co}}_{2}\text{FeAl}$ and ferrimagnetic ${\text{Mn}}_{2}\text{VAl}$ epitaxial films on MgO(100) using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. We observe an unexpected strong temperature dependence of the DOS beyond the change expected from the Fermi distribution function. An increase in spectral weight is observed for majority states below the Fermi energy in the case of ${\text{Mn}}_{2}\text{VAl}$ and for minority states above the Fermi energy in the case of ${\text{Co}}_{2}\text{FeAl}$. Reduced atomic order near the interface suppresses the unexpected temperature dependence…

Magnon mode selective spin transport in compensated ferrimagnets
2017
We investigate the generation of magnonic thermal spin currents and their mode selective spin transport across interfaces in insulating, compensated ferrimagnet/normal metal bilayer systems. The spin Seebeck effect signal exhibits a non-monotonic temperature dependence with two sign changes of the detected voltage signals. Using different ferrimagnetic garnets, we demonstrate the universality of the observed complex temperature dependence of the spin Seebeck effect. To understand its origin, we systematically vary the interface between the ferrimagnetic garnet and the metallic layer, and by using different metal layers we establish that interface effects play a dominating role. They do not …
Intercalation of two-dimensional oxalate-bridged molecule-based magnets into layered double hydroxide hosts
2010
Here we report the intercalation of a MnII–CrIII oxalate-bridged extended network into the interlamellar space offered by a ZnII–AlIII LDH host. This material exhibits ferrimagnetic ordering below 3 K from dominant antiferromagnetic interactions between metallic centres through the oxalate linker. Our result opens the door for the design of a completely new sort of hybrid magnetic multilayers from molecule-based magnets and layered inorganic flexible hosts, where the intrinsic properties of both sub-layers can be combined.
