Acetic acid leaching of neodymium magnets and iron separation by simple oxidative precipitation
2022
Neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) has become the most prominent permanent magnet alloy, with a wide variety of applications and an ever-increasing demand. Their recycling is important for securing the supply of critical raw materials used in their manufacturing. The use of organic acids such as acetic acid has been of recent interest for the recycling of waste NdFeB magnets. Despite achieving good leaching efficiencies, the published literature has not properly investigated the effects of key factors influencing the acetic acid leaching process and their respective interactions, which has lead to conflicting findings as to what conditions are optimal. The present work goes to show that no such o…
Exotic Spin-Orbital Physics in Hybrid Oxides
2016
We compare the effective spin-orbital super\-exchange triggered by magnetic $3d$ impurities with $d^3$ and $d^2$ configurations and either no orbital degree of freedom (orbital dilution) or hole replacing a doublon (charge dilution) in a $4d^4$ Mott insulator with $S=1$ spins. Impurities causing orbital dilution act either as spin defects decoupled from the surrounding ions, or generate orbital polarons along $d^3$-$d^4$ hybrid bonds. The exchange on these bonds determines which orbital is occupied by a doublon on the host site. In case of charge dilution by $3d^2$ impurities additional $\propto T_i^+T_j^+$ terms arise which enhance orbital fluctuations. We show that such terms may radicall…
Three-dimensional skyrmions in spin-2 Bose–Einstein condensates
2017
We introduce topologically stable three-dimensional skyrmions in the cyclic and biaxial nematic phases of a spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensate. These skyrmions exhibit exceptionally high mapping degrees resulting from the versatile symmetries of the corresponding order parameters. We show how these structures can be created in existing experimental setups and study their temporal evolution and lifetime by numerically solving the three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equations for realistic parameter values. Although the biaxial nematic and cyclic phases are observed to be unstable against transition towards the ferromagnetic phase, their lifetimes are long enough for the skyrmions to be imprinted…
Design Scheme of New Tetragonal Heusler Compounds for Spin-Transfer Torque Applications and its Experimental Realization
2012
Band Jahn-Teller type structural instabilities of cubic Mn(2)YZ Heusler compounds causing tetragonal distortions can be predicted by ab initio band-structure calculations. This allows for identification of new Heusler materials with tunable magnetic and structural properties that can satisfy the demands for spintronic applications, such as in spin-transfer torque-based devices.
Spin caloric transport from density-functional theory
2019
Spin caloric transport refers to the coupling of heat with spin transport. Its applications primarily concern the generation of spin currents and control of magnetisation by temperature gradients for information technology, known by the synonym spin caloritronics. Within the framework of ab initio theory, new tools are being developed to provide an additional understanding of these phenomena in realistic materials, accounting for the complexity of the electronic structure without adjustable parameters. Here, we review this progress, summarising the principles of the density-functional-based approaches in the field and presenting a number of application highlights. Our discussion includes th…
Ultrafast Coherent THz Lattice Dynamics Coupled to Spins in the van der Waals Antiferromagnet FePS3
2022
Coherent THz optical lattice and hybridized phonon–magnon modes are triggered by femtosecond laser pulses in the antiferromagnetic van der Waals semiconductor FePS3. The laser-driven lattice and spin dynamics are investigated in a bulk crystal as well as in a 380 nm-thick exfoliated flake as a function of the excitation photon energy, sample temperature and applied magnetic field. The pump-probe magneto-optical measurements reveal that the amplitude of a coherent phonon mode oscillating at 3.2 THz decreases as the sample is heated up to the Néel temperature. This signal eventually vanishes as the phase transition to the paramagnetic phase occurs, thus revealing its connection to the long-ra…
Theoretical study of systems with interest in molecular magnetism and electronics
2013
The project described in this thesis is motivated by a particular interest in Molecular Magnetism from a theoretical point of view. Molecular Magnetism, is still a thriving research field where some problems remain unexplored: A large amount of molecular systems are still theoretically unmanageable due to their huge computational requirements, while the standard software package cannot profit from the power of multiprocessor supercomputers. The scientific community would require a computational code to calculate the magnetic properties of mixed-valence clusters. A new magnetic POM, which needs only one magnetic ion to behave as SMMs, has appeared. A rationalization of its behaviour and an e…
Split exercise training: comparison between endurance-resistance protocol, endurance-resistance-endurance protocol e resistance-endurance protocol.
2009
Numerosi studi hanno dimostrato, per la perdita di peso ed il miglioramento della composizione corporea, l’efficacia della presenza dell’esercizio aerobico ed anaerobico all’interno della stessa seduta di allenamento. Il dibattito resta però aperto riguardo alla distribuzione di queste due metodiche all’interno della medesima sessione, cioè se porre la parte “aerobica” all’inizio dell’allenamento, alla fine o, ancora, se intervallare ad essa il “lavoro anaerobico”. Alla luce di questo abbiamo condotto lo studio preliminare che verrà qui di seguito riportato. Abbiamo esaminato un campione di 25 donne e 11 uomini, per la durata di 6 settimane; i 2 gruppi sono stati suddivisi, a loro volta, in…
Līdzsvara figūras un dinamika magnētiskā šķidruma pilienam ārējā laukā
2016
Līdzsvara figūras rotējošām pašgravitējošiem šķidruma pilieniem ir pētītas vairāk nekā 100 gadus, bet tikai nesen tās iegūtas eksperimentāli pilienam veidotam no magnētiskā šķidruma. Iepriekš kvalitatīvi modeļi ir izmantoti to aprakstam, kurus šeit pārbaudu ar skaitlisku simulāciju. Šajā darbā izmantoju 3D robežintegrālvienādojumu formulējumu, ar kuru magnētisko lauku uz virsmas aprēķinu ar jaunu robeželementu metodes algoritmu un kurā izvairos no tieša liekuma rēķināšanas, izmantojot integrālās transformācijas. Skaitliskais algoritms ir testēts magnētiskā lauka aprēķinam elipsoīdā, izstiepta piliena relaksācijai, pielienu izstiepšanai konstantā laukā un tā saspiešanai rotējošā augstfrekven…
