NMR study of magnetic order, metamagnetic transitions, and low-temperature spin freezing in Ca3Co2O6

2011

We report on a (59)Co NMR investigation of the trigonal cobaltate Ca(3)Co(2)O(6) carried out on a single crystal, providing precise determinations of the electric field gradient and chemical shift tensors, and of the internal magnetic fields at the nonmagnetic Co I sites, unavailable from former studies on powders. The magnetic-field-induced ferri-and ferromagnetic phases at intermediate temperature (e.g., 10 K) are identified by distinct internal fields, well accounted for by purely dipolar interactions. The vanishing transferred hyperfine field at the Co I site indicates that the Co(3+) (I) orbitals do not participate in the intrachain superexchange, in disagreement with a previous theore…

Magnetic properties of quasi-2D antiferromagnet {N(n-C5H11)4[MnIIFeIII(ox)3]}∞ below Néel temperature: revisited

2004

Abstract Magnetic measurements of {N(n-C 5 H 11 ) 4 [Mn II Fe III (ox) 3 ]} ∞ were carried out in the 5–300 K temperature range under different applied magnetic fields up to 50 kOe with zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) modes. The FC and ZFC χ ( T ) plots exhibited a significantly large bifurcation below the transition temperature, which was traceable even at 50 kOe of applied magnetic field. The bifurcation temperature was found to be magnetic field dependent for the lower range of magnetic fields, which can be represented by a polynomial of magnetic field. The observed magnetic transition temperature of this compound was in good agreement with the earlier reported results. The…

Clusters-a New Source for Atomically Engineered Materials

1990

ABSTRACTThe electronic structure and properties of small clusters are strongly dependent on their size. These size specific properties are illustrated by confining the discussion to three different topics (1) interaction of hydrogen with clusters (2) effect of temperature and magnetic field on the magnetization of clusters and (3) reaction of clusters with gas atoms. It is shown that the electronic energy levels that are strongly dependent on cluster size give rise to the size specific electronic properties of clusters. In cluster hydrides certain elements are found to absorb more hydrogen per atom in cluster form than in a crystalline form. The magnetization of clusters increases as a func…

Surface-induced disordering at first-order transitions in body-centered cubic binary alloys: A Monte-Carlo simulation

1990

Surface effects on the phase transition from theDO3 phase to the disordered phase are studied for a bcc Ising antiferromagnet with nearest and next-nearest neighbor exchange interactions in a magnetic field. This model can also be considered to represent binary alloys such as the FeAl-system; missing interactions near the surface translate then into surface magnetic fields. The change of the local magnetization near the surface then corresponds to “surface enrichment” of one component. For a plausible choice of parameters surface-induced disordering is found and the associated critical behavior is studied. Varying the bulk fieldH near the transition fieldHc, we find that the thickness of th…

In Situ Generation of Transverse Magnetohydrodynamic Waves from Colliding Flows in the Solar Corona

2018

This research has received funding from the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (Consolidated Grant ST/K000950/1) and the European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (grant agreement No. 647214). V.M.N. acknowledges the support of the BK21 plus program through the National Research Foundation funded by the Ministry of Education of Korea. Transverse magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves permeate the solar atmosphere and are a candidate for coronal heating. However, the origin of these waves is still unclear. In this Letter, we analyze coordinated observations from Hinode/Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) and Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) of a prominence/corona…

Guided flows in coronal magnetic flux tubes

2018

There is evidence for coronal plasma flows to break down into fragments and to be laminar. We investigate this effect by modeling flows confined along magnetic channels. We consider a full MHD model of a solar atmosphere box with a dipole magnetic field. We compare the propagation of a cylindrical flow perfectly aligned to the field to that of another one with a slight misalignment. We assume a flow speed of 200 km/s, and an ambient magnetic field of 30 G. We find that while the aligned flow maintains its cylindrical symmetry while it travels along the magnetic tube, the misaligned one is rapidly squashed on one side, becoming laminar and eventually fragmented because of the interaction and…

Determining the source and eruption dynamics of a stealth CME using NLFFF modelling and MHD simulations

2021

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that exhibit weak or no eruption signatures in the low corona, known as stealth CMEs, are problematic as upon arrival at Earth they can lead to geomagnetic disturbances that were not predicted by space weather forecasters. We investigate the origin and eruption of a stealth event that occurred on 2015 January 3 that was responsible for a strong geomagnetic storm upon its arrival at Earth. To simulate the coronal magnetic field and plasma parameters of the eruption we use a coupled approach. This approach combines an evolutionary nonlinear force-free field model of the global corona with a MHD simulation. The combined simulation approach accurately reproduces th…
