Chirality selective spin interactions mediated by the moving superconducting condensate

2018

We show that superconducting correlations in the presence of nonzero condensate velocity can mediate the peculiar interaction between localized spins that breaks the global inversion symmetry of magnetic moments. The proposed interaction mechanism is capable of removing fundamental degeneracies between topologically distinct magnetic textures. For the generic system of three magnetic impurities in the current-carrying superconductor, we find the energy term proportional to spin chirality. In realistic superconductor/ferromagnetic/superconductor setups we reveal significant energy differences between various magnetic textures with opposite chiralities. We calculate Josephson energies of junc…

Field dependence of the vortex-core sizes in dirty two-band superconductors

2019

We study the structure of Abrikosov vortices in two-band superconductors for different external magnetic fields and different parameters of the bands. The vortex core size determined by the coherence lengths are found to have qualitatively different behaviour from that determined by the quasiparticle density of states spatial variation. These different vortex core length scales coincide near the upper critical field, while the discrepancy between them becomes quite significant at lower fields. Within the diffusive approximation we demonstrate several generic regimes in the field dependence of the vortex core sizes determined by the disparity of diffusion constants in the two bands.

One‐magnon Raman scattering in Ni c Mg 1–c O solid solutions

2005

The one-magnon Raman scattering was studied for the first time in antiferromagnetic NicMg1–cO solid solutions as a function of temperature and composition. We found that (i) the one-magnon frequency extrapolated to T = 0 K experiences an abrupt change between c = 0.99 and c = 0.9 and (ii) the one-magnon energy for highly diluted nickel oxide vanishes significantly below the Neel temperature. The obtained dependences are compared to the theoretical predictions within the mean field approximation. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Raman measurements in the intermediate phase of [N(CH3)4]2ZnI4

1991

Abstract Raman spectra and deviation angle of the indicatrix have been measured in the intermediate phase, between the two transition temperatures T c1 = 255 K and T c2 = 217 K. The results are consistent with the existence, in this phase, of large domains, piled up along the c-axis (Pnma notation).

Beyond the spin model: exchange coupling in molecular magnets with unquenched orbital angular momenta.

2011

In this critical review we review the problem of exchange interactions in polynuclear metal complexes involving orbitally degenerate metal ions. The key feature of these systems is that, in general, they carry an unquenched orbital angular momentum that manifests itself in all their magnetic properties. Thus, interest in degenerate systems involves fundamental problems related to basic models in magnetism. In particular, the conventional Heisenberg-Dirac-Van Vleck model becomes inapplicable even as an approximation. In the first part we attempt to answer two key questions, namely which theoretical tools are to be used in the case of degeneracy, and how these tools can be employed. We demons…

Study of thermoelectric magnetohydrodynamic convection on solute redistribution during laser additive manufacturing

2020

Abstract Melt pools formed in laser additive manufacturing (AM) are subject to large thermal gradients, resulting in the formation of thermoelectric currents due to the Seebeck effect. When in the presence of an external magnetic field, a Lorentz force is formed which drives fluid flow in the melt pool. This Thermoelectric Magnetohydrodynamics (TEMHD) phenomenon, can have a significant impact on the melt pool morphology and can alter the microstructural evolution of the solidification process. By coupling steady-state mesoscopic melt pool calculations to a microscopic solidification model, predictions of the resulting microstructure for multiple deposited layers have been obtained. The resu…
