  • Canted Ferrimagnetism and Giant Coercivity in the Non-Stoichiometric
    Canted ferrimagnetism and giant coercivity in the non-stoichiometric double perovskite La2Ni1.19Os0.81O6 Hai L. Feng1, Manfred Reehuis2, Peter Adler1, Zhiwei Hu1, Michael Nicklas1, Andreas Hoser2, Shih-Chang Weng3, Claudia Felser1, Martin Jansen1 1Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, Dresden, D-01187, Germany 2Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie, Berlin, D-14109, Germany 3National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC), Hsinchu, 30076, Taiwan Abstract: The non-stoichiometric double perovskite oxide La2Ni1.19Os0.81O6 was synthesized by solid state reaction and its crystal and magnetic structures were investigated by powder x-ray and neutron diffraction. La2Ni1.19Os0.81O6 crystallizes in the monoclinic double perovskite structure (general formula A2BB’O6) with space group P21/n, where the B site is fully occupied by Ni and the B’ site by 19 % Ni and 81 % Os atoms. Using x-ray absorption spectroscopy an Os4.5+ oxidation state was established, suggesting presence of about 50 % 5+ 3 4+ 4 paramagnetic Os (5d , S = 3/2) and 50 % non-magnetic Os (5d , Jeff = 0) ions at the B’ sites. Magnetization and neutron diffraction measurements on La2Ni1.19Os0.81O6 provide evidence for a ferrimagnetic transition at 125 K. The analysis of the neutron data suggests a canted ferrimagnetic spin structure with collinear Ni2+ spin chains extending along the c axis but a non-collinear spin alignment within the ab plane. The magnetization curve of La2Ni1.19Os0.81O6 features a hysteresis with a very high coercive field, HC = 41 kOe, at T = 5 K, which is explained in terms of large magnetocrystalline anisotropy due to the presence of Os ions together with atomic disorder.

    Finite temperature spin dynamics of a two-dimensional Bose-Bose atomic mixture Arko Roy,1, ∗ Miki Ota,1, ∗ Alessio Recati,1, 2 and Franco Dalfovo1 1INO-CNR BEC Center and Universit`adi Trento, via Sommarive 14, I-38123 Trento, Italy 2Trento Institute for Fundamental Physics and Applications, INFN, 38123 Povo, Italy We examine the role of thermal fluctuations in uniform two-dimensional binary Bose mixtures of dilute ultracold atomic gases. We use a mean-field Hartree-Fock theory to derive analytical predictions for the miscible-immiscible transition. A nontrivial result of this theory is that a fully miscible phase at T = 0 may become unstable at T 6= 0, as a consequence of a divergent behaviour in the spin susceptibility. We test this prediction by performing numerical simulations with the Stochastic (Projected) Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which includes beyond mean-field effects. We calculate the equilibrium configurations at different temperatures and interaction strengths and we simulate spin oscillations produced by a weak external perturbation. Despite some qualitative agreement, the comparison between the two theories shows that the mean-field approximation is not able to properly describe the behavior of the two-dimensional mixture near the miscible-immiscible transition, as thermal fluctuations smoothen all sharp features both in the phase diagram and in spin dynamics, except for temperature well below the critical temperature for superfluidity. I. INTRODUCTION ing the Popov theory. It is then natural to ask whether such a phase-transition also exists in 2D. The study of phase-separation in two-component clas- It is worth stressing that, in 2D Bose gases, thermal sical fluids is of paramount importance and the role of fluctuations are much more important than in 3D, as they temperature can be rather nontrivial.

  • Semimetallic Antiferromagnetism in the Half-Heusler Compound Cumnsb
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B 71, 184103 ͑2005͒ Semimetallic antiferromagnetism in the half-Heusler compound CuMnSb T. Jeong,1 Ruben Weht,2 and W. E.

General Paz y Constituyentes, 1650-San Martín, Argentina ͑Received 17 September 2004; revised manuscript received 5 January 2005; published 20 May 2005͒ The half-Heusler compound CuMnSb, the first antiferromagnet ͑AFM͒ in the Mn-based class of Heuslers and half-Heuslers that contains several conventional and half metallic ferromagnets, shows a peculiar stability of its magnetic order in high magnetic fields. Density functional based studies reveal an unusual nature of its unstable ͑and therefore unseen͒ paramagnetic state, which for one electron less ͑CuMnSn, for example͒ would be a zero gap semiconductor ͑accidentally so͒ between two sets of very narrow, topologically separate bands of Mn 3d character. The extremely flat Mn 3d bands result from the environment: Mn has four tetrahedrally coordinated Cu atoms whose 3d states lie well below the Fermi level, and the other four tetrahedrally coordi- nated sites are empty, leaving chemically isolated Mn 3d states. The AFM phase can be pictured heuristically as a self-doped Cu1+Mn2+Sb3− compensated semimetal with heavy mass electrons and light mass holes, with magnetic coupling proceeding through Kondo and/or anti-Kondo coupling separately through the two carrier types. The ratio of the linear specific heat coefficient and the calculated Fermi level density of states indicates a large mass enhancement m* /mϳ5, or larger if a correlated band structure is taken as the reference.

  • Condensed Matter Option MAGNETISM Handout 1
    Condensed Matter Option MAGNETISM Handout 1 Hilary 2014 Radu Coldea http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/students/course-materials/c3-condensed-matter-major-option Syllabus The lecture course on Magnetism in Condensed Matter Physics will be given in 7 lectures broken up into three parts as follows: 1. Isolated Ions Magnetic properties become particularly simple if we are able to ignore the interactions between ions. In this case we are able to treat the ions as effectively \isolated" and can discuss diamagnetism and paramagnetism. For the latter phenomenon we revise the derivation of the Brillouin function outlined in the third-year course. Ions in a solid interact with the crystal field and this strongly affects their properties, which can be probed experimentally using magnetic resonance (in particular ESR and NMR). 2. Interactions Now we turn on the interactions! I will discuss what sort of magnetic interactions there might be, including dipolar interactions and the different types of exchange interaction. The interactions lead to various types of ordered magnetic structures which can be measured using neutron diffraction. I will then discuss the mean-field Weiss model of ferromagnetism, antiferromagnetism and ferrimagnetism and also consider the magnetism of metals. 3. Symmetry breaking The concept of broken symmetry is at the heart of condensed matter physics. These lectures aim to explain how the existence of the crystalline order in solids, ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity, are all the result of symmetry breaking. The consequences of breaking symmetry are that systems show some kind of rigidity (in the case of ferromagnetism this is permanent magnetism), low temperature elementary excitations (in the case of ferromagnetism these are spin waves, also known as magnons), and defects (in the case of ferromagnetism these are domain walls).

Abstract. – We use neutron scattering to show that the low-temperature, short-range ordered spin conguration in the geometrically frustrated magnet SrCr9pGa12 9p O19 (p =0.92(5)) is composed of small groups of spins whose dipole moments cancel. The local magnetic uctuation spectrum, 00(ω), vanishes approximately in proportion to ω forhω < 0.5 meV, distinguishing this magnet from conventional spin glasses which display a featureless continuum of excited states. We argue that this behavior results from the absence of local, low-energy excitations in the zero-spin clusters from which the frozen spin conguration is composed.
