Quantum Stoner-Wohlfarth Model.

چکیده
The quantum mechanical counterpart of the famous Stoner-Wohlfarth model-an easy-axis magnet in a tilted magnetic field-is studied theoretically and through simulations as a function of the spin size S in a sweeping longitudinal field. Beyond the classical Stoner-Wohlfarth transition, the sweeping field-induced adiabatic change of states slows down as S increases, leading to a dynamical quantum phase transition. This result gives us new insights to describe the collapse of the metastability from the viewpoint of a critical phenomenon associated with the Landau-Zener tunneling gaps. Furthermore, a beating of the amplitude of the magnetization (the spin-length fidelity) is discovered after the Stoner-Wohlfarth transition. The period of the beating, confirmed analytically, arises from a new type of quantum phase factor.

متن کاملAnalysis of Switching in Uniformly Magnetized Bodies
A full analysis of magnetization reversal of a uniformly magnetized body by coherent rotation is presented. The magnetic energy of the body in the presence of an applied field H is modeled as E = (μ0/2)M DM−μ0HT M, where T denotes a matrix transpose. This model includes shape anisotropy, any number of uniaxial anisotropies, and any energy that can be represented by an effective field that is a ...
متن کاملMagnetic characterization and interaction modeling of zerovalent iron nanoparticles for the remediation of contaminated aquifers.
Nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI), promising for in situ degradation of many environmental contaminants, has been shown to aggregate reducing reactivity and mobility. Aggregation is attributed to the magnetic attractive forces between particles. In this study an alternating gradient force magnetometer (AGFM) is used to measure magnetic properties of NZVI. The magnetization curve is modeled accor...
