Quantum nucleation in a single-chain magnet.
The field sweep rate (upsilon = dH/dt) and temperature (T) dependence of the magnetization reversal of a single-chain magnet is studied at low temperatures. As expected for a thermally activated process, the nucleation field (H(n)) increases with decreasing T and increasing upsilon. The set of H(n)(T,upsilon) data is analyzed with a model of thermally activated nucleation of magnetization rever...
متن کاملQUANTUM CONFINEMENT IN CdSe NANOCRYSTALLITES
Quantum confinement increases the spacing between energy levels as the nanocrystallite size is decreased. Its qualitative features hold both for states localized near the center of a nanocrystallite and those near the surface, such as states due primarily to dangling bonds. However, different quantitative features are expected because of the different size constraints on each of these states. S...
متن کاملQuantum confinement without walls
We explore and demonstrate quantum confinement without walls in metal-clad InAs quantum wells. We observed intersubband absorption from confined states in InAs clad with Al, Sb, Nb, W, Pt, Ag, Au, Ti or In. We found that using this novel method, we can explore the physics and chemistry at the metal–semiconductor interface; reflection, autoionization, well-width fluctuation and interface reactio...
متن کاملQuantum Critical Behavior for a Model Magnet.
The classical, thermally driven transition in the dipolar-coupled Ising ferromagnet LiHoF 4 sTc 1.53 Kd can be converted into a quantum transition driven by a transverse magnetic field Ht at T 0. The transverse field, applied perpendicular to the Ising axis, introduces channels for quantum relaxation, thereby depressing Tc . We have determined the phase diagram in the Ht-T plane via magneti...
متن کاملQuantum phase transition of a magnet in a spin bath.
The excitation spectrum of a model magnetic system, LiHoF4, was studied with the use of neutron spectroscopy as the system was tuned to its quantum critical point by an applied magnetic field. The electronic mode softening expected for a quantum phase transition was forestalled by hyperfine coupling to the nuclear spins. We found that interactions with the nuclear spin bath controlled the lengt...
