We consider an open isotropic Heisenberg quantum spin chain, coupled at the ends to boundary reservoirs polarized in different directions, which sets up a twisting gradient across the chain. Using a matrix product ansatz, we calculate the exact magnetization profiles and magnetization currents in the nonequilibrium steady state of a chain with N sites. The magnetization profiles are harmonic fu...

It is demonstrated analytically that the spectrum of small-amplitude spatially uniform magnetization excitations in an in-plane magnetized magnetic pillar with two ferromagnetic layers coupled by dipole-dipole interaction can be approximately described by the traditional Kittel formula with reduced saturation magnetization and effective anisotropy field. The spectrum consists of a quasi-symmetr...

The effects of nanostructuration on the magneto-optic properties of ultrathin monocrystalline iron films grown on MgO ~001! are investigated through the magneto-optic coefficients, which have a linear and quadratic dependence on the magnetization. The photon energy dependence of such magneto-optic coefficients is determined by measuring the relative variations of the reflectivity (DRpp /Rpp) fo...

We study the occurrence of plateaux and jumps in the magnetization curves of a class of frustrated ladders for which the Hamiltonian can be written in terms of the total spin of a rung. We argue on the basis of exact diagonalization of finite clusters that the ground state energy as a function of magnetization can be obtained as the minimum with Maxwell constructions if necessary of the energie...

The question of how, and how fast, magnetization can be reversed is a topic of great practical interest for the manipulation and storage of magnetic information. It is generally accepted that magnetization reversal should be driven by a stimulus represented by time-non-invariant vectors such as a magnetic field, spin-polarized electric current, or cross-product of two oscillating electric field...

Fe/NiO/Fe/CoO/Ag(001) single crystalline films were grown epitaxially and investigated by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and x-ray magnetic linear dichroism. The bottom Fe layer magnetization is pinned through exchange coupling to the CoO layer and the top Fe layer magnetization can be rotated by an in-plane external magnetic field. We find that the NiO spins wind up to form a domain wall du...

2014 We consider an Ising spin glass chain at 0 temperature. The moments of the total number of metastable states and the typical number of metastable states at a given magnetization are calculated. We find that for all magnetizations less than or equal to mmax = 0.446042... there is an exponentially large number of metastable states. For magnetizations larger than mmax, there are no metastable...

This paper is concerned with global existence of weak solutions to a model equations of magnetization reversal by spin-polarized current in a layer introduced in [18]. The local magnetization of the ferromagnet satisfies the usual Landau-Lifshitz equation which is coupled to the nonlinear heat equation satisfied by the spin accumulation field defined in all the layer. The coupling is due to the...

The cut-density of sink-float separations with water-based magnetic liquids linearly depends on the magnetization of the process liquid. The control of the magnetization of the liquid, by means of measurement followed by extraction of water from the process liquid by membranes or mixing with water or concentrated magnetic liquid, is therefore a critical part of the technology. A potential probl...

The magnetometer investigation aboard the NEAR-Shoemaker spacecraft has obtained extensive magnetic field observations throughout the 433 Eros environment, from distances in excess of 100,000 km to those conducted after landing on 12 February 2001. We report the apparent absence of global scale magnetization at this asteroid (H < 0.005 A · m−1; natural remanent magnetization per kilogram < 1.9 ...
