The Heisenberg ferromagnet (uniaxially anisotropic along z-direction), in the presence of time dependent (but uniform over space) magnetic field, is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. The time dependent magnetic field was taken as elliptically polarised in such a way that the resulting field vector rotates in the XZ-plane. In the limit of low anisotropy, the dynamical responses of the system ar...

To develop a new spin-crossover functional material, a magnetic hybrid compound [Fe(qsal)2][Ni(mnt)2] was designed and synthesized (Hqsal = N-(8-quinolyl)salicylaldimine, mnt = maleonitriledithiolate). The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility suggested the coexistence of the high-spin (HS) Fe(III) cation and π-radical anion at room temperature and a magnetic transition below 100 K....

We report the discovery of a low-temperature phase transition in Bi2Sr2Ca(NixCu1−x)208 high temperature superconductor. This transition manifests itself as a sharp reduction of the thermal conductivity of the samples at a temperature T∗c ≈ 200 mK. The temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity changes dramatically from T with α between 1.6 and 1.75 above the transition to T-linear behav...

Thermally activated flux motion and specific electric resistance in Y358 were studied under different magnetic fields ranging from 0 to 15 kOe. Through investigating the broadening of normal-superconducting transition, we found that the thermally-activated-flux-motion model can describe the electronic effect near the superconducting transition temperature. By modifying this model, specific elec...

In weakly ferromagnetic materials, already small changes in the atomic configuration triggered by temperature or chemistry can alter the magnetic interactions responsible for the non-random atomic-spin orientation. Different magnetic states, in turn, can give rise to substantially different macroscopic properties. A classical example is iron, which exhibits a great variety of properties as one ...

the glass transition temperature of several pvac(1)-b-poly(ma-co-mma) (2) terpolymers with different fractions of methyl acrylate (ma) and methyl methacrylate (mma) repeating units in random copolymer (block 2) were calculated with barton, kwei and topological equations. the calculation was on the basis of the correlation between the fraction of repeating units in random copolymers and theoreti...

The magnetic properties of a stoichiometric PrzNi04 single crystal have been examined by means of the temperature dependence of the complex ac susceptibility and the isothermal magnetization in fields up to 200 kOe at T = 4.2 K. Three separate phases have been identified’ and their anisotropic character has been analyzed. A collinear antiferromagnetic phase appears first between TN = 325 K and ...

The general behavior of majrn»!it< (iron ferrite) at its low temperature transformation (ca 1!8°K) is reviewed. One of the properties which undergoes a largr change is the magnetocrystailine snisotropy, which is larger in magnitude and has a lower symmetry below the transformation. The magnetic symmetry axis below the transition tempeiature can be predetermined by cooling a single crystal throu...

The structural and magnetic properties of the TbNi(2)Mn(x) series (0.9 ≤ x ≤ 1.10) have been investigated using x-ray diffraction, field- and temperature-dependent AC magnetic susceptibility, DC magnetization (5-340 K; 0-5 T) and (57)Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy (5-300 K). TbNi(2)Mn(x) crystallizes in the MgCu(2)-type structure (space group Fd3m). The additional contributions to the magnetic energ...

We investigate the Cerium – isostructural phase transition by explicitly incorporating finite temperature mixing of the Ce nonmagnetic and magnetic states. Unique to our approach is the calculation of vibrational properties from phonon theory. The critical behavior of the transition is shown to be controlled by the configurational mixing entropy between the magnetic and nonmagnetic states. Our ...
