文章回顾了用中子散射技术对铁基超导体中所存在的三维长程反铁磁序进行研究的进展.大多数铁基超导体母体的晶体结构在温度降低时都经历了从四方相变化到正交相或单斜相的结构相变.在此相变温度之下,自旋系统也从顺磁变化到三维长程反铁磁.在掺杂之后,结构相变和磁相变都被压制,而超导则最终出现.文章详细介绍了各种母体中的三维反铁磁结构及其自旋波频谱,并讨论了掺杂对反铁磁相变和晶格相变的影响.     

Half-Heusler合金Cu1-xFexMnSb的电子结构和反铁磁-铁磁相变

基于密度泛函理论（DFT）,使用局域密度近似（LDA）研究了Heusler合金Cu1-xFexMnSb的电子结构和反铁磁-铁磁相变。研究发现,两种磁状态下的合金晶格常数随掺杂浓度x变化很好地满足Vegard定理。当x>0.5时,铁磁态合金的总磁矩很好地符合SP规律,然而当x<0.5时,却发生了明显的偏离。由于整个体系存在RKKY和超交换磁耦合的竞争,因而在x=0.25时,我们观察到了独特的反铁磁—铁磁相变。进一步的态密度分析发现,Cu的掺杂浓度可以有效调整铁磁态合金的费米面位置,并且反铁磁态合金由于不同自旋方向的Mn原子的分波态密度相互补偿,总态密度形成了几乎完全对称的自旋向上带和自旋向下带。     

Refraction of spin waves by bifocal surface ferromagnetic lens in external magnetic field

Behavior of spin-wave propagation in ferromagnetic medium with non-uniform distribution of magnetic parameters is studied. In particular, the influence of external magnetic field, spin-wave frequency and exchange parameter on behavior of surface spin-wave propagating through inhomogeneity made in form of lens (lens is biaxial ferromagnet placed into uniaxial ferromagnetic medium) is studied.     

Spin Waves in a Surface-Diluted Quant um Spin system

A theoretical investigation of the effects of surface dilution on spin waves in a semi-infinite transverse Ising model (TIM) is presented. Within the framework of the double-time Green's function theory, the loctl density of spin-wave states is obtained by the application of the cluster-Bethe-lattice (CBL) method. Numerical calculations of paramagnetic phases reveal that surface dilution will lead to appearance of the localized spin-wave states whose frequencies are bulk independent while the corresponding density of states is a function of the exchange interactions. Increase of the bulk exchange interactions between the surface and the bulk spins tends to diminish the localized spin-wave states. Dependence of the local density of states on the concentration p of the magnetic atoms is similar with that in a three-dimensional infinite TIM which has been discussed in our previous paper.     

Spin-wave resonance in a tangentially magnetized thin film

The imaginary part of the magnetic susceptibility determining the position, amplitude, and width of damped bulk and surface spin-wave eigenmodes in the spin system of a thin film magnetized in the film plane along the uniaxial bulk and surface anisotropy axis is analyzed numerically for various values of the degree of surface spin pinning. The presence of damping and the finiteness and asymmetry of the degree of surface spin pinning are shown to cause significant changes in the spin-wave resonance spectrum.     

Modification of spin-wave resonance spectra in films due to damping and finite surface-spin pinning

The influence of the extent of the surface spin pinning on the spin-wave resonance spectrum is investigated for the case of a perpendicularly magnetized thin ferromagnetic layer in the presence of damping in the spin system. For surface pinning of different types, the results of the numerical analysis of the imaginary part of susceptibility, which determines the amplitude, width, and position of resonance peaks in spin-wave spectra, are presented.     

Brillouin light scattering investigation of FeSm/FeTaN trilayer

The static and dynamic magnetic properties of a FeTaN/FeSm/FeTaN trilayer are investigated by alternating gradient field magnetometry and Brillouin light scattering. Evidence is given for a strong in-plane uniaxial anisotropy induced by a magnetic field applied during deposition. The spin-wave spectrum consists of different modes, with either surface or bulk character. A nonreciprocal behavior of the spin-wave frequency due to the exchange field exerted on the FeTaN layer at the FeSm interface is observed.     

Spin excitations in exchange-dominated regime on (1 0 0) and (1 1 0) antiferromagnetic surfaces

Theoretical investigations in the context of Heisenberg model have been made for (1 0 0) and (1 1 0) magnetic surface dynamics for a semi-infinite antiferromagnet geometry. The calculations apply to the exchange dominated regime and are based on a spin-wave operator and matching technique within the framework of non-interacting spin-wave theory. The theoretical formalism developed here does not include either relaxation or reconstruction at the surface and no electronic effects have been considered. Dispersion curves of surface spin-waves are obtained within a single framework by matching the evanescent and travelling solutions, respectively, obtained from the secular equation and satisfying the boundary conditions brought about by the surface. The excitation spectrum of the surface spin-waves has been obtained and compared with that for bulk spin-waves. The quantized bulk modes of the same energy travelling to and away from the surface are related to one another by reflection coefficients, for which sum rules are derived. The numerical results for the evolution of acoustic and optical modes are presented for two different surface planes, namely (1 0 0) and (1 1 0). The findings reported here show that: (i) the reduced coordination number for atoms near the surface as well as the surface orientation play an obvious and crucial part in the surface spin-wave spectra; (ii) the evolutions of bulk as well as surface modes undergo significant changes as a function of the bulk-surface exchange integrals for a given direction of propagation of the spin-wave modes along the surface.     

Surface excitations in magnetic systems with a singlet ground state

We have investigated surface excitations in a system wherein the ionic ground state is a magnetic singlet. The pseudospin formalism is employed to account for the crystal-field and exchange interactions between the ions in a Heisenberg ferromagnet with the singlet-triplet crystal-field-only level scheme. The Hamiltonian was studied in the molecular field approximation to find the possible ground states. Surface excitations for the simple cubic structure were investigated for the (001) surface in the random phase approximation. Analytic expressions have been obtained for the thermodynamic Green functions. For a fully magnetized molecular field ground state, there are in general two bulk bands, the spin-wave and the excitonic. Surface modes were found to exist below the spin-wave band, above the excitonic band and between the bands. The dispersion curves can exist only over one or two limited regions of the two-dimensional wave-vector parallel to the crystal surface.     

Surface modes with biquadratic coupling and uniaxial anisotropy in semi-infinite Heisenberg antiferromagnet

We address the role and the influence of both biquadratic exchange and uniaxial anisotropy in the study of bulk and surface magnetic excitations for a two-sublattices semi-infinite Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The calculations apply to combined effect and are based on a matching technique within the framework of both non-interacting spin-wave theory and random phase approximation. Emphasis has been laid upon the advantage of handling bulk and surface spin precessional fields, characterized by their symmetry in particular. Analytic expressions for the bulk and surface equations of motion are also derived which enables us to analyze qualitatively the nature of the modes by observing the response of the energy branches to the variation of both biquadratic exchange and single-ion anisotropy field as well as exchange parameters occurring on the surface. Two numerical applications of the theoretical formalism developed in this work are described. First concerns the situation when the free surface model is assumed. The second application considers the existence of surface perturbations and treats the effects of the presence of biquadratic exchange term on the bulk and surface spin-wave spectra showing two kinds of surface propagating modes which depend on the presence or not of the uniaxial anisotropy contribution and also on the variations of the bulk-surface exchange parameters. A significant conclusion which this work reached relates to the checking of the results obtained in the literature by using our own theoretical formalism. We show that this formalism is very well adapted to calculations of localized bulk and surface spin-wave modes associated with the simultaneous presence of biquadratic exchange and uniaxial anisotropy. Also, the results obtained for the bulk spin fluctuations field as well as for the magnetic surface waves, are found to be in qualitative agreement with those obtained in the literature. The analytic formulation presented in this work provides an accurate and practical scheme for calculating the surface spin dynamics under the influence of surface exchange parameters, biquadratic coupling and uniaxial anisotropy terms.     

Spin modes and layer magnetization for surface and impurity layer embedded in a ferromagnet

A theoretical study is made for the role of an impurity layer embedded within a semi-infinite ferromagnet in determining the spectra of (0 0 1) surface spin waves and the layer magnetization for the surface and impurity layer. The calculations are described using simultaneously a closed form of the spin-wave Green's function and the matching procedure in the random-phase approximation. Analytic expressions for the Green's functions are also derived in a low-temperature spin-wave approximation. The theoretical approach determines the bulk and evanescent spin fluctuation fields in the two-dimensional plane normal to the surface. The results are used to calculate the energies of localized modes associated with the impurity layer as well as with the surface. Numerical examples of the modes are given and they are found to exhibit various effects due to the interplay between the impurity layer and surface modes. The results derived from the dynamic correlation functions between a pair of spin operators at any two sites are employed to evaluate the spin deviation in the ferromagnet due to the localized modes associated with the surface and with the impurity layer obtained by means of the matching procedure. The correlation functions and the layer magnetization are then illustrated as function of the impurity layer distance from the surface for a given temperature.     

Reflection of electromagnetic waves from the surface of a cubic ferrite

The reflectivity of electromagnetic waves incident on the surface of a semi-infinite nonconducting cubic ferrite was found both analytically and numerically with inclusion of spin-wave damping. The frequency and field dependences of the reflectivity were found for various values of the damping parameter and the anisotropy and magnetostriction constants in a region far from the point of the orientational phase transition and at this point. It is shown that the reflectivity has peaks near the frequencies of ferromagnetic, magnetoacoustic, and magnetostatic resonances. The peak amplitude decreases with increasing spin-wave damping. At frequencies below the magnetoelastic gap, the reflectivity can take on anomalously small (down to zero) and anomalously large (up to unity) values. These frequencies can lie in the microwave range.
