Strongly frustrated antiferromagnets such as the magnetic molecule {Mo72Fe30}, the kagome, or the pyrochlore lattice exhibit a variety of fascinating properties like low-lying singlets, magnetization plateaus as well as magnetization jumps. During recent years exact many-body eigenstates could be constructed for several of these spin systems. These states become ground states in high magnetic f...

Ground state properties of the S = 1/2 frustrated Heisenberg chain with period 3 exchange modulation are investigated using the numerical diagonalization and DMRG method. It is known that this model has a magnetization plateau at 1/3 of the saturation magnetization M s. On the other hand, the ground state is ferrimagnetic even in the absence of frustration if one of the nearest neighbour bond i...

In this work, e-Fe3N nanoparticles and e-Fe3Nbased magnetic fluid were synthesized by chemical reaction of iron carbonyl and ammonia gas. The size of e-Fe3N nanoparticles was tested by TEM and XRD. Stable e-Fe3Nbased magnetic fluid was prepared by controlling the proper ratio of carrier liquid and surfactant. The saturation magnetization of stable e-Fe3N-based magnetic fluid was calculated acco...

Single phase Mn0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 powders were synthesized by solution combustion method. The solution combustion method relies on the exothermic self-sustained reactions in reactive solution containing of oxidizers and organic fuels. In this work, the effects of various amounts of glycine as fuel on the powder characteristics were investigated. The structure, cation distribution, microstructure, ma...

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2 O4 ) nanoparticles have attracted significantly attentions for spintronics, recording media and bioapplications due to their unique magnetic and chemical properties. In this work, single phase CoFe2 O4 nanoparticles were synthesized at various coprecipitation temperatures (60, 80 and 90 °C) without post calcination. The effects of oleic acid as surfactant on the microstruc...

We study the breakdown of the magnetization plateau at the magnetization M = MS/3 (MS is the saturation magnetization) of the S = 1/2 anisotropic spin chain with ferromagnetic-ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic interactions. We consider the model with the isotropic ferromagnetic (trimer) coupling JF , and the anisotropic antiferromagnetic coupling (Jx = Jy = JAF and Jz = ∆JAF ). For the large γ ≡ ...

Mössbauer spectra of powder and aligned Ba3Co2−xZnxFe24O41 samples with x=0–2.0 have been obtained and analyzed at room temperature and at T=7 K with applied magnetic fields of 0 and 60 kOe. The relationship between Mössbauer parameters and magnetic properties has been studied. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy of Ba3Co2−xZnxFe24O41 is modified from the c plane to the c axis at Zn concentration...

A heterostructure comprised of a 2.7 nm 7 unit cell thick layer of the metallic ferromagnet La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 and two 50 nm thick layers of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 epitaxially grown on 100 SrTiO3 by pulsed-laser deposition was characterized by magnetization measurements and spherical-aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy HRTEM . The saturation ...

Introduction: The Achilles tendon is commonly involved in mechanical, degenerative and inflammatory disease. Ultrashort echo time (UTE) imaging allows the tendon to be directly imaged, even when normal or only mildly diseased [1]. Off resonance saturation has been used for introducing contrast into UTE images; near resonance this reflects T2 whereas far from resonance magnetization transfer (MT...
