Magnetic Relaxation Study on Single Crystals of Nia Single-Molecule Magnets

The ac susceptibility of single crystals of Ni4 single-molecule magnets is measured by a compensation measurement setup. The magnetic relaxation time calculated from the peak of the out-phase component of the susceptibility fits the Arrhenius law well and gives an effective spin-flipping energy barrier of Uefr = 7.2 K. This value is fax below the classical activation energy barrier of U = 14 K, whereas it is close to the energy gap between the Sz= ±4 and S, = ±3 doublets, which indicates that quantum tunneling between the Sz = 3 and Sz = -3 states plays a key role in the magnetic relaxation. Therefore the relaxation process combines thermal activation and quantum tunneling. Also we deduce that the blocking temperature of Ni4 single-molecule magnets is lower than 0.3 K by extrapolating the relaxation time plot, which ensures that this single-molecule magnet material enters a long-range magnetic ordered state instead of a spin glass state at 0.91 K.     

Relaxation of Paramagnetic Centers during Modulation of a Stationary Magnetic Field

It has been found that the phase shift _min in the synchronous detection block that ensures the minimum amplitude of the EPR lines of ruby, diphenylpicrylhydrazyl, and MnSO₄·5H₂O, depends on the amplitude of the modulationH _m of a stationary magnetic field. The dependence of _min on H _m is explained by the inertial nature of the recovery of the stationary states of paramagnetic centers on a change in the magnetic field strength.     

Relaxation of Magnetic Nanoparticle Chain without Applied Field

The relaxation of a one-dimensional magnetic nanoparticle linear chain with lattice constant $a$ is investigated in absence of applied field. There is an equilibrium state (or steady state) where all magnetic moments of particles lie along the chain (x-axis), back to which the magnetic nanoparticle chain at other state will relax. It is found that the relaxation time T_x is determined by T_x=10^β× a³. This relaxationis compared with that of single magnetic nanoparticle system.

Relaxation Model and Mapping of Magnetic Field Gradients in MRI

The purpose of the work is development of algorithms for separate mapping of T ₂ relaxation time and gradients, using gradient recalled echo (GRE) sequence. Application of three-dimensional (3D) model of gradients and their volumetric averaging within a voxel lead to analytical model of relaxation function, which is consistent with experimental data for both regular macroscopic and randomized micro- and mesoscopic gradients. The model is verified by fitting into experimental data obtained on specially made phantoms. Verification of algorithms is completed by comparing gradient maps obtained on specially made cylindrical phantoms with theoretical maps of their exact 3D electro-dynamic solutions. Analytical model of relaxation function proved to be in good agreement with experimental relaxation curves. On the basis of this model, fast and unambiguous fittingless algorithms were developed. Gradient maps measured on special cylindrical phantoms are in good qualitative agreement with theory. 3D statistical model and fittingless algorithms provide the basis for separating the GRE signal into two meaningful parameters—T ₂ and gradients, thus doubling information from magnetic resonance imaging.

Basic Characteristics of Vacuum Arcs Subjected to a Magnetic Field Parallel to Their Positive Columns

As vacuum arcs subjected to a magnetic field parallel to their positive column (an axial magnetic field) spread uniformly over all the electrodes and burn in the interelectrode region, arc voltages of these arcs are low and quiescent. When the magnetic field strength decreases, however, the arc voltage develops a large noise component and electrode melting occurs. Experiments were conducted to investigate the condition of these transition phenomena. As a result of these experiments, it was found that these two phenomena do not always occur simultaneously and that a new explanation for the mechanism of anode spot formation should be considered.

Investigation of Nematic Liquid Crystals Doped with Spherical Multiferroic Nanoparticles in the Presence of a Magnetic Field

Recently, multiferroic nanoparticles (MFNPs) have attracted significant attention as dopant in the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) medium. Here, behavior of the NLC molecules and MFNPs in the presence of a magnetic field is theoretically investigated in the framework of continuum theory, based on our knowledge. The electric field of the MFNPs is taken into account in the calculations. Freedericksz transition (FT) threshold field in the presence of spherical nanoparticles is determined. Dependence of the FT threshold to the diameter and volume fraction of the nanoparticles was studied. Also, the NLC director and nanoparticle reorientations for the magnetic field larger than the FT threshold field are studied. It was shown that the FT threshold of NLC is decreased by doping of spherical MFNPs. Migration of the nanoparticles to the central layers of the cell (segregation effect) is investigated.

Theoretical Study of Dipolar Relaxation of Coupled Nuclear Spins at Variable Magnetic Field

A theoretical study was made of magnetic field-dependent dipolar relaxation in two- and three-spin systems. The results for the nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) curves were compared with those for the simpler model of fluctuating local fields. For both models it was found that at low fields spins tend to relax with a common T ₁-relaxation time. Sharp features in the NMRD curves coming from nuclear spin level anti-crossings are also predicted by both models. However, the simple model fails to describe the behavior of so-called long-lived spin states (LLS). We have studied the LLS as function of magnetic field and molecular geometry and simulated experimental results for the LLS in histidine amino acid obtained at the laboratory of Prof. H.-M. Vieth (Free University Berlin, Germany). In addition, we described polarization transfer in a three-spin system where two spins are protons, which are initially hyperpolarized by para-hydrogen induced polarization (PHIP), while the third spin is a spin ½ hetero-nucleus, which acquires polarization in the course of cross-relaxation.     

Influence of a Magnetic Field on the Nonlinear Optical Susceptibility of NiI2-Doped CdI2 Single Crystals

The influence of treatment in a magnetic field at low temperatures on the nonlinear optical properties of NiI₂-doped CdI₂ single crystals is investigated. The impurity ions in the interlayer space or more complex centers into which these ions enter can align on exposure to a magnetic field due to the interaction with the membrane vibrations of the lattice and create residual polarization in a specimen. This polarization causes redistribution of the electric charge on the bonds and improves the nonlinear optical properties of single crystals.
