Dipolar superferromagnetism in monolayer nanostripes of Fe(110) on vicinal W(110) surfaces
1998
By epitaxial growth of Fe on a vicinal W~110! substrate, densely spaced and continuous monolayer stripes of Fe~110! were prepared, directed along @001#. They exhibit a sharp phase transition to ferromagnetic order, free from relaxations. The magnetic easy axis is in the plane, but along @110# that means across the stripes. This cross magnetization induces ferromagnetic dipolar coupling between the spin blocks in adjacent stripes, which are preformed by exchange interactions. The resulting superferromagnetic phase transition is therefore driven by dipolar interactions. @S0163-1829~98!52002-4#
Gradual phase transition from ferromagnetic tetragonal to antiferromagnetic cubic states in Mn Ga (1.80 ≤ x ≤ 3.03) thin films
2019
Abstract The structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of MnxGa thin films are investigated as varying the Mn composition (1.80 ≤ x ≤ 3.03). The variation of x in MnxGa films dramatically changes the crystal structure as well as the magnetic properties. With increasing x, we observe the gradual phase transition from a ferromagnetic tetragonal state to an antiferromagnetic cubic state. The structural characterization reveals that the D022 tetragonal structure of Mn2Ga is slowly transformed to the L12 cubic structure of Mn3Ga. Two phases coexist around x = 2.4. The magnetization is systematically reduced as x increases, ending to an antiferromagnetic state of cubic Mn3Ga, and the electr…
Quantum dots of Cd0.5Mn0.5Te semimagnetic semiconductor formed by the cold isostatic pressure method
2005
Abstract Cd0.5Mn0.5Te is a semimagnetic semiconductor, which crystallizes in the zinc-blende structure (ZB) and exhibits a magnetic spin glass like transition at 21 K. Under pressure it shows a first-order phase transition around 2.6 GPa to the NaCl like structure. In this work, the pressure cycled method using a Paris–Edinburgh cell up to 8 GPa has been applied to Cd0.5Mn0.5Te samples in order to obtain recovered nanocrystals. The nanoparticles have been characterized by EDX and electron microscopy. The X-ray and electron diffraction results confirmed the existence of nanocrystals in the ZB phase with an average size of 7 nm. Magnetization measurements made in the range of 2–300 K at low f…
Crystallographic, electronic structure and magnetic properties of the GdTAl; T=Co, Ni and Cu ternary compounds
2000
Abstract Single phase GdCoAl, GdCuAl and single crystal GdNiAl samples of good quality were synthesized. The electrical resistivity, magnetization and AC susceptibility as a function of temperature revealed in all these compounds a ferromagnetic ordering at 100, 83 and 60 K, respectively. A magnetic transition, probably to a non-colinear structure was observed in GdNiAl at 31 K as well as the presence of the third magnetic transition at 14 K, while in the GdCuAl compound an evidence of similar transition was found at 23 K. In GdNiAl a transition between two different crystallographic phases of ZrNiAl-type was observed at 220 K. The transition was accompanied by rapid jumps of crystal lattic…
Comparative studies of ferroelectric and magnetic phase transitions in Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3-PbMO3 (M-Ti, Zr) multiferroic solid solutions
2015
Some peculiar features of magnetic x,T-phase diagram of (1-x)PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3- xPbTiO3 system at x ≈ 0.1 have been ascribed previously to the change of the lattice symmetry from rhombohedral to tetragonal or to the decrease of the lattice parameter with x. We carried out structural, dielectric, magnetization, and Mossbauer studies of (1-x)PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3-xPbZrO3 system, where the symmetry remains rhombohedral, while the lattice parameter increases with x. However, the magnetic x,T-phase diagram of (1-x)PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3-xPbZrO3 appeared to be very similar to that of (1-x) PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3-xPbTiO3. Anomalies of composition dependence of magnetic phase transition temperatures at x ≈ 0.1 are supposed …
Application of spin-exchange relaxation-free magnetometry to the Cosmic Axion Spin Precession Experiment
2018
The Cosmic Axion Spin Precession Experiment (CASPEr) seeks to measure oscillating torques on nuclear spins caused by axion or axion-like-particle (ALP) dark matter via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. A sample spin-polarized along a leading magnetic field experiences a resonance when the Larmor frequency matches the axion/ALP Compton frequency, generating precessing transverse nuclear magnetization. Here we demonstrate a Spin-Exchange Relaxation-Free (SERF) magnetometer with sensitivity $\approx 1~{\rm fT/\sqrt{Hz}}$ and an effective sensing volume of 0.1 $\rm{cm^3}$ that may be useful for NMR detection in CASPEr. A potential drawback of SERF-magnetometer-based NMR detection is …
57Fe,61Ni, and121Sb M�ssbauer study of oxidic spinel ferrites CoxNi5/3?xFeSb1/3O4
1987
Antimony substituted nickel ferrites Co x Ni5/3−xFeSb1/3O4 withx=0,1/3,1,4/3, and 5/3 were prepared by the common ceramic technique, and the single-phase structure was confirmed by x-ray powder diffraction.57Fe Mossbauer spectra were recorded at 4.2 K with and without an applied magnetic fieldHlong=60 kOe in order to determine the cation distribution and the spin structure. Utilizing the cation distributions and the Yafet-Kittel spin structures for B-site Fe3+ ions, derived from Mossbauer experiments the calculated magnetic moments are in excellent agreement with the experimental values at 4.2 K. The existence of Ni2+ ions in crystallographic A-sites was confirmed by61Ni Mossbauer spectrosc…
Disentangling the Mn moments on different sublattices in the half-metallic ferrimagnet Mn3−xCoxGa
2011
Ferrimagnetic Mn3−xCoxGa compounds have been investigated by magnetic circular dichroism in x-ray absorption (XMCD). Compounds with x>0.5 crystallize in the CuHg2Ti structure. A tetragonal distortion of the cubic structure occurs for x≤0.5. For the cubic phase, magnetometry reveals a linearly increasing magnetization of 2x Bohr magnetons per formula unit obeying the generalized Slater–Pauling rule. XMCD confirms the ferrimagnetic character with Mn atoms occupying two different sublattices with antiparallel spin orientation and different degrees of spin localization and identifies the region 0.6<x≤0.8 as most promising for a high spin polarization at the Fermi level. Individual Mn moments on…
An estimator algorithm for the rotation time of magnetization vector in nuclear magnetic resonance for imaging (NMRI)
2018
The purpose of this paper is to propose a useful method to investigate the rotation time of the magnetization vector in the nuclear magnetic resonance for imaging (NMRI) system. The ninety degrees rotation of the magnetization vector is the first step in order to establish the free induction decay that radiates electromagnetic energy inside the NMRI chamber. The estimator involved in this research is called Luenberger's observer which is a state estimator of a dynamical system. The Bloch's equation is a dynamical system characterized by a radio frequency (RF) impulse located inside the dynamic matrix, which means the system is not linear. The observer algorithm involved in this paper estim…
Self-gravitating magnetized tori around black holes in general relativity
2019
We investigate stationary, self-gravitating, magnetised disks (or tori) around black holes. The models are obtained by numerically solving the coupled system of the Einstein equations and the equations of ideal general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. The mathematical formulation and numerical aspects of our approach are similar to those reported in previous works modeling stationary self-gravitating perfect-fluid tori, but the inclusion of magnetic fields represents a new ingredient. Following previous studies of purely hydrodynamical configurations, we construct our models assuming Keplerian rotation in the disks and both spinning and spinless black holes. We focus on the case of a toro…
