Behavior of one-magnon frequency in antiferromagneticNicMg1−cOsolid solutions

2005

The one-magnon scattering was studied in antiferromagnetic ${\mathrm{Ni}}_{c}{\mathrm{Mg}}_{1\ensuremath{-}c}\mathrm{O}$ solid solutions. We observed unpredicted behavior of both temperature and composition dependences of one-magnon excitation energies. First, the abrupt change of the one-magnon frequency by $7--8\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ occurs between $c=0.98$ and $c=0.9$ in the limit of $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$. Second, upon increasing temperature, the one-magnon energy for highly diluted nickel oxide vanishes significantly below the N\'eel temperature.

Spin Dynamics of the Half-Integer-Spin Quasi-One-Dimensional Heisenberg Antiferromagnet CsMnI3

1994

Magnetic excitations of CsMnI 3 , a quasi-one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet with S =5/2, have been measured by means of inelastic neutron scattering. Magnetic excitations in the low temperature phase are in good agreement with the predictions of the conventional linear spin-wave theory. In particular, in accordance with the linear spin-wave theory, we found three separate modes at Q =(0, 0, 1) instead of a threefold degenerate mode as seen in CsNiCl 3 ( S =1). It confirms that the spin dynamics of the integer spin value system are very different from those of the half-integer spin value system, even in their three-dimensionally ordered phase. Magnetic excitations in the intermediat…

Identification of Néel Vector Orientation in Antiferromagnetic Domains Switched by Currents in NiO/Pt Thin Films

2021

Understanding the electrical manipulation of the antiferromagnetic order is a crucial aspect to enable the design of antiferromagnetic devices working at THz frequencies. Focusing on collinear insulating antiferromagnetic $\mathrm{Ni}\mathrm{O}/\mathrm{Pt}$ thin films as a materials platform, we identify the crystallographic orientation of the domains that can be switched by currents and quantify the N\'eel-vector direction changes. We demonstrate electrical switching between different T domains by current pulses, finding that the N\'eel-vector orientation in these domains is along [$\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}5$ $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}5$ 19], different compared to the bulk $⟨112⟩$ d…

Spin-chain correlations in the frustrated triangular lattice material CuMnO$_2$

2020

The Ising triangular lattice remains the classic test-case for frustrated magnetism. Here we report neutron scattering measurements of short range magnetic order in CuMnO$_2$, which consists of a distorted lattice of Mn$^{3+}$ spins with single-ion anisotropy. Physical property measurements on CuMnO$_2$ are consistent with 1D correlations caused by anisotropic orbital occupation. However the diffuse magnetic neutron scattering seen in powder measurements has previously been fitted by 2D Warren-type correlations. Using neutron spectroscopy, we show that paramagnetic fluctuations persist up to $\sim$25 meV above TN= 65 K. This is comparable to the incident energy of typical diffractometers, a…

Interplay of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya and Kitaev interactions for magnonic properties of Heisenberg-Kitaev honeycomb ferromagnets

2020

The properties of Kitaev materials are attracting ever increasing attention owing to their exotic properties. In realistic two-dimensional materials, Kitaev interaction is often accompanied by the Dzyloshinskii-Moriya interaction, which poses a challenge of distinguishing their magnitude separately. In this work, we demonstrate that it can be done by accessing magnonic transport properties. By studying honeycomb ferromagnets exhibiting Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya and Kitaev interactions simultaneously, we reveal non-trivial magnonic topological properties accompanied by intricate magnonic transport characteristics as given by thermal Hall and magnon Nernst effects. We also investigate the effect …

Quantum critical point in the itinerant ferromagnet Ni$_{1-x}$Rh$_x$

2020

We report a chemical substitution-induced ferromagnetic quantum critical point in polycrystalline Ni$_{1-x}$Rh$_x$ alloys. Through magnetization and muon spin relaxation measurements, we show that the ferromagnetic ordering temperature is suppressed continuously to zero at $x_{crit} = 0.375$ while the magnetic volume fraction remains 100% up to $x_{crit}$, pointing to a second order transition. Non-Fermi liquid behavior is observed close to $x_{crit}$, where the electronic specific heat $C_{el}/T$ diverges logarithmically, while immediately above $x_{crit}$ the volume thermal expansion coefficient $\alpha_{V}/T$ and the Gr\"uneisen ratio $\Gamma = \alpha_{V}/C_{el}$ both diverge logarithmic…

Transmission of electrons through ferromagnetic material and applications to detection of electron spin polarization

1993

The salient features of the total low energy inelastic electron scattering cross section in transition metals are described by a constant term σ 0 plus a term σ d that is proportional to the number of unoccupied d-orbitals. This simple model predicts that low energy electrons transmitted through a ferromagnetic ultrathin film acquire a transport spin polarization a(x). Using the ratio σ 0 /σ d as the only adjustable parameter, the model predicts the enhancement of the spin polarization of the low energy cascade electrons as well as a(x) in reasonable agreement with the existing observations on Fe, Co and Ni. A detector for electron spin polarization P based on the spin dependent transmissio…

Properties of the Ising magnet confined in a corner geometry

2007

Abstract The properties of Ising square lattices with nearest neighbor ferromagnetic exchange confined in a corner geometry, are studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Free boundary conditions at which boundary magnetic fields ± h are applied, i.e., at the two boundary rows ending at the lower left corner a field + h acts, while at the two boundary rows ending at the upper right corner a field − h acts. For temperatures T less than the critical temperature T c of the bulk, this boundary condition leads to the formation of two domains with opposite orientation of the magnetization direction, separated by an interface which for T larger than the filling transition temperature T f ( h ) …
