The effect of magnetic anisotropy on the spin configurations of patterned La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO3 elements.
2013
We study the effect of magnetocrystalline anisotropy on the magnetic configurations of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 bar and triangle elements using photoemission electron microscopy imaging. The dominant remanent state is a low energy flux-closure state for both thin (15 nm) and thick (50 nm) elements. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which competes with the dipolar energy, causes a strong modification of the spin configuration in the thin elements, depending on the shape, size and orientation of the structures. We investigate the magnetic switching processes and observe in triangular shaped elements a displacement of the vortex core along the easy axis for an external magnetic field applied close to t…
Current density maps, magnetizability, and nuclear magnetic shielding tensors of bis-heteropentalenes. III. Thieno-thiophene isomers
2005
Near Hartree–Fock values of the magnetic susceptibility and nuclear magnetic shielding of bis-heteropentalenes consisting of two thiophene units ([2,3-b], [3,2-b], [3,4-b], and [3,4-c] isomers) have been estimated via computational schemes relying on continuous transformation of the origin of the current density within the coupled Hartree–Fock approximation and extended gaugeless Gaussian basis sets. The results are compared with those obtained via London gauge-including orbitals. Maps of streamlines and the modulus of the ring current density induced by a magnetic field normal to the molecular plane are reported for the three isomers of higher symmetry, showing that the intense diamagnetic…
Colloidal layers in magnetic fields and under shear flow
2005
The behaviour of colloidal mono- and bilayers in external magnetic fields and under shear is discussed and recent progress is summarized. Superparamagnetic colloidal particles form monolayers when they are confined to a air–water interface in a hanging water droplet. An external magnetic field allows us to tune the strength of the mutual dipole–dipole interaction between the colloids and the anisotropy of the interaction can be controlled by the tilt angle of the magnetic field relative to the surface normal of the air–water interface. For sufficiently large magnetic field strength crystalline monolayers are found. The role of fluctuations in these two-dimensional crystals is discussed. Fur…
Neutron diffraction studies of the molecular compound [Co 2(bta)]n (H4bta =1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid): In the quest of canted ferromagnetism
2013
The exchange mechanism and magnetic structure of the organic-inorganic layered molecule-based magnet [Co2(bta)]n (1) (H 4bta =1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid) have been investigated through variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements and supported with a series of neutron diffraction experiments. Cryomagnetic studies have shown an antiferromagnetic ordering at a transition temperature of 16 K that is followed by the appearance of a weak ferromagnetism below 11 K. The weak antiferromagnetic interlayer interaction plays an important role in this system in spite of the long interlayer separation. A ferromagnetic ordering is induced by applied magnetic fields greater than 1800…
Two-phonon magneto-Raman scattering in quantum wells: Fröhlich interaction
1996
We have developed a theoretical model of two-phonon resonant magneto-Raman scattering in a semiconductor quantum well (QW). Frohlich electron-phonon interaction has been considered and the corresponding selection rules are derived for Faraday geometry and backscattering configuration. The resonant profiles are analyzed as a function of magnetic field and laser energy. To simplify the discussion a three-band model with parabolic masses has been used as a first approach, studying later the role of heavy-hole light-hole admixture in the scattering process. It is shown that, due to mixing effects, Frohlich interaction contributes to the two-phonon Raman spectra in the parallel (z(σ ± , σ ± ) z)…
Rotating magnetic fields as a means to control the hydrodynamics and heat/mass transfer in the processes of bulk single crystal growth
1999
The report discusses the possibility of using different types of rotating magnetic fields (RMF) and combinations of these to control the hydrodynamics and heat/mass transfer in the processes of bulk semiconductor single crystal growth. Some factors contributing to the efficiency of RMF influence in different technologies are analysed. Their specific practical application is illustrated by some examples.
Coulomb blockade nanothermometer
1998
Reliable thermometry is normally based on commercial secondary sensors which are factory calibrated. Primary thermometers exist, too, but their use is limited because of intrinsic slowness, complex instrumentation, or inconvenient installation at the desired location. We have found that arrays of nanoscale tunnel junctions exhibit properties which are very suitable for primary and secondary cryogenic thermometry. Temperature range of this Coulomb blockade thermometer (CBT) extends over about two decades for one sensor and the mean temperature is lithographically adjustable. We have studied the performance of the CBT sensors at very low temperatures where the minimum temperature is limited b…
Influence of the Electromagnetic, G-Jitter or Thermocapillary Forces on the Stability of the Stationary Buoyancy Convection
1992
Microgravity conditions seem to be very useful for crystal growth processes. Reduced gravitational force strongly weakens the buoyancy convection, so the convective oscillations in the melt become impossible [1]. This is the main reason of numerous attempts to obtain monocrystal materials with homogeneous internal structure in microgravity. On the other hand for non-isothermal fluid in microgravity conditions other driving forces become more significant than on the Earth. The main of them are thermocapillarity and g-jitter. The thermocapillary forces exist on the non-uniformly heated free liquid surfaces and cause motion of the fluid. The g-jitter appears in space unavoidably because of the…
Instability of the melt flow in VGF growth with a traveling magnetic field
2009
The linear instability of a thermally stratified melt flow in the VGF configuration driven by a traveling magnetic field (TMF) is considered numerically and experimentally. The dependency of the instability threshold on the governing parameters is found for several cuts through the parameter space covering a wide range of possible applications. In a first approximation the linear instability occurs when the dimensionless TMF forcing parameter reaches the magnitude of the Grashof number. This is particularly true in a medium-sized crucible where the first instability is axisymmetric and sub-critical. As the Grashof number increases the flow develops self-similar boundary layers and the insta…
Modelling of EM glass convection
2008
PurposeTo develop the mathematical model, which allows predicting the temperature and flow distribution of an opaque glass melt with the temperature‐dependent properties in case it is generated by electromagnetic and thermal convection. Analysis has been done for geometry of the model crucible with the immersed rod electrodes. Numerical analysis is used as a tool for finding out the parameters of the system, which allow getting desiderated homogeneity of temperature field by EM action.Design/methodology/approachANSYS CFX software is implemented for coupling of EM, thermal and HD processes in the modelled system. Usability of non‐inductive approximation is shown using a full harmonic analysi…
