Spin-orbit torque (SOT) induced magnetisation switching in CoFeB/Ta/CoFeB trilayer with two CoFeB layers exhibiting in-plane magnetic anisotropy (IPMA) and perpendicular (PMA) is investigated. Interlayer exchange coupling (IEC), measured using ferromagnetic resonance technique modified by varying thickness of Ta spacer. The evolution the IEC leads to different orientation axes layers: for thick...

In this set of notes, a complete, pedagogical tutorial for applying mean field theory to the two-dimensional Ising model is presented. Beginning with motivation and basis theory, we formally derive Bogoliubov inequality discuss itself. We proceed use determine magnetisation function, results derivation are interpreted graphically, physically, mathematically. give new interpretation self-consist...

The NMR measurements performed on a single orthorhombic crystal of superconducting ferromagnet UCoGe (Y.Ihara et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. v.105, 206403 (2010)) demonstrate strongly anisotropic magnetic properties this material. presented calculations allow to establish the dependence longitudinal spin-lattice relaxation rate from temperature and field. value 1/T_1T in field perpendicular spontaneou...

– In recent analytical work, Biskup et al. (Europhys. Lett., 60 (2002) 21) studied the behaviour of d-dimensional finite-volume liquid-vapour systems at a fixed excess δN of particles above the ambient gas density. By identifying a dimensionless parameter Δ(δN) and a universal constant Δc(d), they showed in the limit of large system sizes that for Δ < Δc the excess is absorbed in the background...

The polarisation of abundant protons, rather than dilute nuclei with low gyromagnetic ratios, can be enhanced in less than 10 min using dissolution DNP and converted into a long-lived state delocalised over an ensemble of three coupled protons. The process is more straightforward than the hyperpolarisation of heteronuclei followed by magnetisation transfer to protons.

A new organically-templated vanadium(III) fluoride, (NH4)2(C2H8N)[V3F12], has been prepared using an ionothermal approach. This compound has a unique layered structure featuring distorted S = 1 kagome planes separated by the cationic species. The compound exhibits magnetic frustration, with a canted antiferromagnetic ground state. On further cooling in the ground state a pronounced change in ma...

The similarities between phase separation in physics and residential segregation by preference in the Schelling model of 1971 are reviewed. Also, new computer simulations of asymmetric interactions different from the usual Ising model are presented, showing spontaneous magnetisation (= self-organising segregation) and in one case a sharp phase transition.

We report field-dependent magnetization measurements on monolayers of [Dy(Pc)2] on quartz, prepared by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The films are thoroughly characterized by means of X-ray reflectivity and atomic force microscopy. The magnetisation of the sample is measured through the magnetic circular dichroism of a ligand-based electronic transition.

An unusual dinuclear Yb(2) complex isolated using a mixed ligand strategy leads to field-induced SMM behaviour. Low magnetic axiality and a large tunnelling gap lead to significant quantum tunnelling of the magnetisation, which was reduced under an applied static optimum field of 1600 Oe.
