Magnetic anisotropic effects and electronic correlations in MnBi ferromagnet

Magnetic anisotropic effects and electronic correlations in MnBi ferromagnet

The electronic structure and numerous magnetic properties of MnBi magnetic systems are investigated using local spin density approximation (LSDA) with on-cite Coulomb correlations (LSDA+U ) included. We show that the inclusion of Coulomb correlations provides a much better description of equilibrium magnetic moments on Mn atoms as well as the magnetic anisotropy energy behavior with temperature...

Electronic and magnetic properties of the graphene–ferromagnet interface

This paper presents our work on the investigation of the surface structure and the electronic and magnetic properties of the graphene layer on the lattice-matched surface of a ferromagnetic material, Ni(111). Scanning tunneling microscopy imaging shows that perfectly ordered epitaxial graphene layers can be prepared by elevated temperature decomposition of hydrocarbons, with domains larger than...

Anisotropic manifestation of short-range magnetic correlations in Ce0.6La0.4RhIn5

Thermal stability of MnBi magnetic materials.

MnBi has attracted much attention in recent years due to its potential as a rare-earth-free permanent magnet material. It is unique because its coercivity increases with increasing temperature, which makes it a good hard phase material for exchange coupling nanocomposite magnets. MnBi phase is difficult to obtain, partly because the reaction between Mn and Bi is peritectic, and partly because M...
