Accessing the fundamentals of magnetotransport in metals with terahertz probes
2015
Spin-dependent conduction in metals underlies all modern magnetic memory technologies, such as giant magnetoresistance (GMR). The charge current in ferromagnetic transition metals is carried by two non-mixing populations of sp-band Fermi-level electrons: one of majority-spin and one of minority-spin. These electrons experience spin-dependent momentum scattering with localized electrons, which originate from the spin-split d-band. The direct observation of magnetotransport under such fundamental conditions, however, requires magnetotransport measurements on the same timescale as the electron momentum scattering, which takes place in the sub-100 fs regime. Using terahertz electromagnetic prob…
Coherent Spin Dependent Landau-Zener Tunneling in Mixed Valence Dimers
2011
In this contribution we introduce the concept of single molecule ferroelectric based on the vibronic pseudo Jahn-Teller model of mixed valence dimeric clusters belonging to the Robin and Day class II compounds. We elucidate the main factors controlling the nonadiabatic Landau-Zener tunneling between the low lying vibronic levels induced by a pulse of the electric field. The transition probabilities are shown to be dependent on the both time of the pulse and the total spin of the cluster. A possibility to control the spin-dependent Landau-Zener tunneling by applying a static magnetic field is discussed.
Spin-coupling topology in the copper hexamer compounds A2Cu3O(SO4)3 (A=Na, K)
2020
The compounds ${A}_{2}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{u}}_{3}\mathrm{O}{(\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}}_{4})}_{3}$ $(A=\mathrm{Na},\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K})$ are characterized by copper hexamers that are weakly coupled to realize antiferromagnetic order below ${T}_{N}\ensuremath{\approx}3\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$. They constitute quantum spin systems with $S=1$ triplet ground states. We investigated the energy-level splittings of the copper hexamers by inelastic neutron scattering experiments covering the entire range of the magnetic excitation spectra. The observed transitions are governed by very unusual selection rules that we ascribe to the underlying spin-coupling topology. This…
Analysis of the static and dynamic behaviour of a magnetic liquid seal
1985
A rotating shaft seal, using ferrofluid between biconical truncated magnetic poles, is analysed both in static and dynamic conditions. After solving Laplace's equation and allowing an approximate expression for the magnetic potential, the magnetic forces acting on the working fluid are obtained. It is thus possible to determine the baric field existing in static conditions and the highest tolerable pressure jump. In the case of dynamic working the flow is schematized by two interior regions, where the azimuthal velocity prevails, and four boundary layers on the walls, where meridional transport of fluid takes place. Assuming laminar motion, by means of a perturbation procedure it is possibl…
SANS polarization analysis at V4 SANS instrument of HMI Berlin
2008
The V4 instrument has recently been upgraded with a 3He spin filter cell, placed directly in the homogeneous field B of the sample magnet, to enhance the SANSPOL option for polarization analysis. The prototype setup was still affected by: (a) a quick relaxation of the 3He nuclear polarization in the cell with a time constant of only ?130 min which significantly changes the spin filter transmissions T+ and T? for neutrons polarized parallel I+ and anti-parallel I? to B, and (b) the absence of a flipping aid behind the sample. The usual polarization analysis procedure, expecting virtually time-independent transmissions and a second flipping device, is therefore not applicable. We present an a…
Influence of electromagnetic boundary conditions onto the onset of dynamo action in laboratory experiments
2009
We study the onset of dynamo action of the Riga and Karlsruhe experiments with the addition of an external wall, the electro-magnetic properties of which being different from those of the fluid in motion. We consider a wall of different thickness, conductivity and permeability. We also consider the case of a ferro-fluid in motion.
Model calculations of phase diagrams of magnetic alloys on the body-centered-cubic lattice.
1987
We treat a model for a binary (AB) alloy, where species A is magnetic (Ising spin σi = ± 1) while species B is not, and repulsive interactions are assumed between first and second neighbors of the same kind, in addition to a nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic exchange interaction. Both the mean-field approximation, the cluster variation (CV) method in the tetrahedron approximation and the Monte Carlo (MC) method are applied; comparing the phase diagrams obtained by the various approximations their accuracy is tested. It is shown that the CV method is in rather close agreement with the MC method for the present problem.
Diluted Heisenberg Ferromagnets with Competing Ferro- and Antiferromagnetic Interactions: Evidence for a New Universality Class?
1993
The site-diluted classical face-centered cubic (fee) Heisenberg model with exchange between nearest and (J nn > 0) next nearest (J nnn =-J nn /2) neighbors is studied by Monte Carlo simulations using the heatbath algorithm in conjunction with histogram reweighting techniques. Finite size scaling analysis suggests that the diluted system crosses over to a new type of critical behavior, different from that of the pure system, in contrast to the prediction of the Harris criterion. But this model possibly can explain related experimental findings in Eu x Sr 1-x S.
The Møller Polarimeter for MAMI
1991
The polarization of high-energy electrons can conveniently be measured by means of Moller scattering from polarized electrons in a magnetized ferromagnetic target. This process exhibits in the limit of high energies (E ≥ 100 MeV) still relatively large, energy independent and well known analysator strengths. Furthermore, the laboratory cross section in the kinematical range suitable for polarimeter applications is large $$ \frac{{d\sigma }}{{d\Omega }}({\Theta _{cm}} = 90^\circ ) = Z \cdot 0.18{\text{ }}barn/sr$$ and energy-independent.
Iodine on a magnetized iron film evidence for a magnetic coupling
1993
Abstract Spin-resolved photoelectron spectra of iodine chemisorbed on a magnetized iron (110) surface have been taken using unpolarized VUV light. The partial spin spectra reveal the I 5p x and 5p z signals being split by up to 0.35 eV. This exchange splitting occurs due to hybridization of adsorbate and substrate bands as a consequence of the chemical bond of the halogen atoms to the iron surface.
