热磁预处理对Ni-Mn-Ga单晶磁学和力学性能的影响

研究了预先热磁处理对Ni_503Mn_287Ga₂₁单晶的磁学和力学性能的影响.首先将样品加热到居里温度之上让其冷却,冷却方式分为两种：一种是施加一定大小的磁场从高于居里温度冷却至室温,另一种是在样品经历顺磁-铁磁相变后但还未发生奥氏体-马氏体相变前施加相同大小和方向的磁场并冷却至室温.室温时的拉伸-压缩实验结果表明单晶样品在经历前一种处理后,其可逆应变、磁化强度的变化 （ΔM）比后一种处理的相应值要小很多.在后一种热磁处理的样品中,顺磁-铁磁相变发生后形成了自发磁畴,但这种磁畴不具有择优取向.在顺磁-铁磁相变结束后施加磁场,容易导致择优的马氏体准单畴出现,从而表现出大的可逆应变和ΔM.但对于前者,我们认为样品从居里温度降到室温过程中,其中的磁畴在相同的磁场作用下获得择优生长,形成大磁畴,导致磁诱导的强各向异性.这种择优取向的大磁畴在随后马氏体相变期间影响着马氏体的自发排列方式,不利于马氏体准单畴的出现,结果导致较小的可逆应变和ΔM. 关键词： 磁和力学锻炼 Ni-Mn-Ga单晶 铁磁和马氏体相变

Observation of magnetization step at order–disorder transition in MgB2 single crystals

We have studied the order–disorder transition in high quality MgB₂ single crystals, using a torque magnetometry combined with a ‘vortex shaking’ technique. In the wide range of temperature T, field H and the H direction, we succeed in obtaining reversible magnetization curves M_rev(T, H) by shaking the pinned vortices. Especially at low temperatures below 25 K and high fields, where the irreversible magnetization curve exhibits the peak effect due to the order–disorder transition, it is found that the peak is transformed into the clear step in M_rev(H). Similar step-like behavior is also observed in the temperature dependence of magnetization M_rev(T). These results give direct evidence that the order–disorder transition, which is hidden by the large hysteresis of magnetization, has the nature of first-order transition.     

Transport effects in single-crystal La0.82Ca0.18MnO3

This paper reports experimental data on the temperature dependences of the electrical resistivity, magnetoresistance, thermopower, magnetothermopower, and normal and spontaneous Hall coefficients of the La_0.82Ca_0.18MnO₃ single crystal with a Curie temperature of 180 K. It is shown that, at low temperatures, electrons are the majority carriers. For T < 110 K, the electrical resistivity depends substantially on the position of the magnetization vector with respect to the crystallographic axes, which implies a significant role played by the spin-orbit interaction. For T > 137 K, holes are dominant. In the vicinity of the Curie temperature, electrical conduction is effected primarily by holes activated to the mobility edge. The local activation energy of the resistivity exhibits a critical behavior. The temperature dependence of the local activation energy is determined by spin correlation functions. For T > 240 K, the activation energy does not depend on temperature.     

Magnetic and structural phase transitions in the shape-memory ferromagnetic alloys Ni2+x Mn1−x Ga

The results of an experimental investigation of the temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility and resistivity in the shape-memory ferromagnetic alloys Ni_2+x Mn_1−x Ga (x=0–0.20) are reported. A T−x phase diagram is constructed on the basis of these data. It is shown that partial substitution of Ni for Mn causes the temperatures of the structural (martensitic) T _M and magnetic T _C (Curie point) phase transitions to converge. In the region where T _C =T _M the transition temperature increases linearly with magnetic field in the range from 0 to 10 kOe. The kinetics of a magnetic-field-induced martensitic phase transition is investigated, and the velocities of the martensite-austenite interphase boundary during direct and reverse transitions are measured. A theoretical model is proposed and the T−x phase diagram is calculated. It is shown that there exist concentration ranges where the magnetic and martensitic transitions merge into a first-order phase transition. The theoretical results are in qualitative agreement with experiment. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 115, 1740–1755 (May 1999)     

Thermomagnetic hysteresis and electrical transport in amorphous films

We report resistivity and magnetization measurements on an amorphous Ni₇₄Mn₂₄Pt₂ thin film in the temperature range of 3–300 K. Two significant features are apparent in both the magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity. A low-temperature (low-T) anomaly is observed at about 40 K, where a cusp appears in the resistivity, while a concomitant step-like increase in zero-field-cooled (ZFC) magnetization (M) appears with increasing temperature. The low-T anomaly is attributed to a crossover from a pure re-entrant spin-glass within individual domains to a mixed ferro-spin-glass regime at lower temperatures. By contrast, the high-temperature (high-T) anomaly, signaled by the appearance of hysteresis below 250 K, corresponds to the freezing of transverse spins in individual domains acting independently. Between the low-T and high-T anomalies a small but discernable magnetic hysteresis is observed for warming vs. cooling in the field-cooled (FC) case. This behavior clearly indicates the presence of domain structure in the sample, while the disappearance of this hysteresis at lower temperatures indicates the complete freezing of the spin orientation of these domains. According to these results, we have divided the magnetic state of this sample into three regions: at temperatures above 250 K, the sample behaves like a soft ferromagnet, exhibiting M vs. H loops with very small hysteresis (less than 5 Oe). As the temperature is lowered into the intermediate region (the range 40–250 K), spins become frozen randomly and progressively within the individual domains. These domains behave independently, rather than as a cooperative behavior of the sample. Weak irreversibility sets in, indicating the onset of transverse spin freezing within the domains. At temperatures below 40 K, the M vs. H loops exhibit larger hysteresis, for both the ZFC and FC cases, as in a pure spin-glass. We have also demonstrated giant noise in the resistivity at temperatures just below 250 K. Such noise can originate from fluctuations of the domains near the film surface because of competing effective bulk and surface anisotropy fields. The large observed amplitude may be explained by means of a large ferromagnetic anisotropy in the resistivity due to the large spin–orbit effect seen in NiMn systems. Finally, the low-T peak in the resistivity has been analyzed using Fisher and Langer's expression based on the Friedel Model proposed for critical transitions in transition metals (s–d systems). The fitted results are in satisfactory agreement with the predictions of this model.     

Transport,magnetic, and thermal properties of non-centrosymmetric Yb2Co12P7

We report magnetization and specific heat measurements down to 2?K and electrical resistivity down to millikelvin temperatures on polycrystalline samples of the non-centrosymmetric compound Yb₂Co₁₂P₇. In addition to the previously reported ferromagnetic ordering of the cobalt sub-lattice at T _C ?=?136?K we find a magnetic transition below T _M ?=?5?K that is likely associated with ordering of the Yb ions. The broad nature of the specific heat anomaly suggests disordered magnetism and possible short-range correlations well above T_M .     

Effect of regimes of cooling in a magnetic field on the magnetization of a La0.9Sr0.1MnO3 single crystal

Magnetization measurements were performed on a lanthanum manganite La_0.9Sr_0.1MnO₃ single crystal in the temperature interval 4.2–300 K and magnetic field interval 50 Oe-55 kOe in two sample cooling regimes: 1) cooling down to 4.2 K in a high (55 kOe) magnetic field, and 2) cooling in a “zero” field. It is shown that the temperature dependences of the magnetization M(T) are substantially different in these regimes. Pronounced anomalies of M(T) were observed at temperatures T*=103 K and T _c =145 K. The first anomaly is attributed to a structural transition, while the second one corresponds to a ferromagnet-paramagnet phase transition. The magnetization of a La_0.9Sr_0.1MnO₃ single crystal in the cooling regimes studied shows typical “spin-glass” behavior. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 68, No. 1, 39–43 (10 July 1998)     

Low-temperature properties of CePd2In

We report measurements of the specific heatC _p(T), electrical resistivity ϱ(T) and magnetic susceptibility ξ(T) of hexagonal CePd₂In, at low temperatures. Anomalies inC _p(T), χ(T) and ϱ(T) atT=1.23 K, indicate a phase transition, most likely to an antiferromagnetically-ordered phase. The electronic entropy reachesR ln2 per mole Ce at 9.2K, suggesting that the phase transition involves a doublet state. The ordered phase coexists with moderately correlated itinerant electrons.     

Oxygen diffusion in C60 films

We have performed detailed resistivity measurements as a function of temperature in the range from 12 to 300 K on oxygen loaded C₆₀ films. We observe that two ordering phase transitions (i.e.,T ₀=260 K andT _g =90 K) are present in (T), which, in addition, strongly depends on the oxygen content. We find a decrease of both ordering temperatures with increasing oxygen concentrations. The mechanisms of oxygen diffusion are greatly enhanced in the ordered phase on heating. Finally, the transition to a glassy state atT _g is detected as a point of reversibility of the resistivity curve as a function of temperature.     

Unusual magnetic hysteresis behavior of oxide spinel MnCo2O4

Magnetic hysteresis behavior of the oxide spinel MnCo₂O₄ has been studied at different temperatures below its T_c≈184 K. Normal hysteresis behavior is observed down to 130 K whereas below this temperature the initial magnetization curve, at higher magnetic fields, lies outside the main loop. No related anomaly is observed in the temperature variation of magnetization or coercivity. However, the anisotropy field overcomes the coercivity below 130 K. The unusual magnetic hysteresis behavior of MnCo₂O₄, at low temperatures, may be associated with irreversible domain wall movements due to the rearrangement of the valence electrons.
