Observation of a complex nanoscale magnetic structure in a hexagonal Fe monolayer

We have observed a novel magnetic structure in the pseudomorphic Fe monolayer on Ir(111). Using spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy we find a nanometer-sized two-dimensional magnetic unit cell. A collinear magnetic structure is proposed consisting of 15 Fe atoms per unit cell with 7 magnetic moments pointing in one and 8 moments in the opposite direction. First-principles calculations verify that such an unusual magnetic state is indeed lower in energy than all solutions of the classical Heisenberg model. We demonstrate that the complex magnetic structure is induced by the strong Fe-Ir hybridization.     

Strain-dependent electronic and magnetic of Co-doped monolayer of WSe2

We perform first-principles calculation to investigate electronic and magnetic properties of Co-doped WSe₂ monolayer with strains from −10% to 10%. We find that Co can induce magnetic moment about 0.894 μ_B, the Co-doped WSe₂ monolayer is a magnetic semiconductor material without strain. The doped system shows half-metallic properties under tensile strain, and the largest half-metal gap is 0.147 eV at 8% strain. The magnetic moment (0.894 μ_B) increases slightly from 0% to 6%, and jumps into about 3 μ_B at 8% and 10%, which presents high-spin state configurations. When we applied compressive strain, the doped system shows a half-metallic feature at −2% strain, and the magnetic moment jumps into 1.623 μ_B at −4% strain, almost two times as the original moment 0.894 μ_B at 0% strain. The magnetic moment vanishes at −7% strain. The Co-doped WSe₂ can endure strain from −6% to 10%. Strain changes the redistribution of charges and magnetic moment. Our calculation results show that the Co-doped WSe₂ monolayer can transform from magnetic semiconductor to half-metallic material under strain.     

Nuclear quantum effects on the thermal expansion coefficient of hexagonal boron nitride monolayer

This work examines the importance of vibrational delocalization on a basicthermomechanical property of a hexagonal boron nitride monolayer, namely its thermalexpansion coefficient (TEC). Using a recently parametrized bond-order potential of theTersoff type, the TEC was theoretically obtained from the thermal variations of thelattice parameter a(T) calculated using threedifferent methods: (i) the quasiharmonic approximation; (ii) its anharmonic improvementbased on self-consistent phonons; (iii) fully anharmonic Monte Carlo simulations possiblyenhanced within the path-integral framework to account for nuclear quantum effects. Theresults obtained with the three methods are generally consistent with one another and withother recently published data, and indicate that the TEC is negative at least up to ca.700 K, quantum mechanical effects leading to a significant expansion by about 50% relativeto the classical result. Comparison with experimental data on bulk hexagonal BN suggestssignificant differences, which originate from possible inaccuracies in the model that tendto underestimate the lattice parameter itself, and most likely from the 2D nature of themonolayer and the key contribution of out-of-plane modes. The effects of isotopic purityin the natural abundances of boron are found to be insignificant.     

The magnetic moment of iron in GdFe intermetallic compounds

Using the multiplet splitting in Fe containing compounds as observed in photoemission the magnetic moment of Fe in GdFe₂, GdFe₃, and Gd₂Fe₁₇ was determined to be (1.76±0.02)μ_B independent of composition. Charge transfer as a cause of this reduction in the Fe moment compared to Fe metal has been excluded. Valence band spectra support a model in which a reduced exchange splitting of the Fe 3d states is responsible for the smaller moment.     

Strain-dependent resistance and giant gauge factor in monolayer WSe_2

We report the strong dependence of resistance on uniaxial strain in monolayer WSe_2 at various temperatures, where the gauge factor can reach as large as 2400. The observation of strain-dependent resistance and giant gauge factor is attributed to the emergence of nonzero Berry curvature dipole. Upon increasing strain, Berry curvature dipole can generate net orbital magnetization, which would introduce additional magnetic scattering, decreasing the mobility and thus conductivity. Our work demonstrates the strain engineering of Berry curvature and thus the transport properties, making monolayer WSe_2 potential for application in the highly sensitive strain sensors and high-performance flexible electronics.     

The evolution of the magnetic moment in a corrugated magnetic field

In the first part, the equations of motion in a weakly corrugated, periodic magnetic field are linearized and solved by using paraxial approximation, to describe the model and the associated resonance condition. In the second part, the nonlinear evolution of the magnetic moment of resonant particles, in connection with their axial displacement is investigated analytically by using the multiple scale method. It is seen that the linear evolution is converted into a slow and periodic oscillation around the unperturbed value, with a considerable amplitude. The analytic expressions for the period and amplitude of the oscillations are derived and compared with the numerical simulations, which are also presented. Finally, the limitations of the paraxial approximation are concluded by investigating the numerical simulations, with actual field expressions. (c) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

On the magnetic structure of a hexagonal Ising antiferromagnet

Domain wall free energies are calculated in a hexagonal Ising antiferromagnet and shown to be very small compared with those in an ordinary two-sublattice antiferromagnet. It is suggested that the magnetic structure of its higher temperature ordered phase is one in which many domains are tangled with each other. Some comments are given on experimental results in CsCoCl₃ and CsCoBr₃.     

Anomalous magnetic moment of the electron in a medium

Radiative effects are considered for an electron moving in a medium in the presence of an external electromagnetic field. Anomalous magnetic moment (AMM) of the electron in -order is calculated under these conditions in the form of two-dimensional integral. Behavior of AMM of high energy electron under influence of multiple scattering in a medium is analyzed. Both mentioned effects lead to reduction of AMM.     

Neutrino magnetic moment in a magnetized plasma

The magnetized-plasma contribution to the neutrino anomalous magnetic moment is calculated. It is shown that, in a magnetized plasma, only part of the neutrino additional energy associated with the neutrino spin and with the magnetic-field strength contributes to the neutrino magnetic moment. It is found that, in contrast to results presented previously in the literature, the presence of a magnetized plasma does not lead to a substantial enhancement of the neutrino magnetic moment.     

Zitterbewegung in monolayer silicene in a magnetic field

We study the Zitterbewegung in monolayer silicene under a perpendicular magnetic field. Using an effective Hamiltonian, we have investigated the autocorrelation function and the density currents in this material. Moreover, we have analyzed other types of periodicities of the system (classical and revival times). Finally, the above results are compared with their counterparts in two other monolayer materials subject to a magnetic field: graphene and MoS₂.

Magnetism and structure of hexagonal Fe in Fe/Ru superlattices

Mössbauer spectroscopy is applied to study the magnetism and the local structure of Fe/Ru superlattices. Fe Layers show hcp structure, isomorphous with Ru. A well-defined symmetry is observed at Fe sites, withV _zz along thec axis. The Fe/Ru interfaces are non-magnetic over the two first layers, but a large moment (2μ_B/Fe) exists beyond. Magnetic coupling between neighbouring Fe Layers is observed at small spacing, i.e. for Ru thickness lower than 13 Å typically.     

Orbital magnetic moment instability at the spin reorientation transition of Nd2Fe14B

Highly accurate soft-XMCD data recorded on a Nd2Fe14B single crystal, through the spin reorientation transition show that the average Fe orbital moment (a) is proportional to the macroscopic Fe anisotropy constant, and (b) diverges 15 K below the reorientation transition temperature. This divergence is indicative of a critical behavior and it is related to a tetragonal distortion. These results give experimental evidence of the mutual dependence between orbital moment, macroscopic magnetic anisotropy, and tetragonal distortion. Furthermore, it is argued that the critical behavior of the orbital moment is at the origin of similar divergences previously observed in Mossbauer and Hall-effect data.     

Quantum tunneling of the magnetic moment in a free nanoparticle

We study tunneling of the magnetic moment in a particle that has full rotational freedom. Exact energy levels are obtained and the ground-state magnetic moment is computed for a symmetric rotor. The effect of mechanical freedom on spin tunneling manifests itself in a strong dependence of the magnetic moment on the moments of inertia of the rotor. The energy of the particle exhibits quantum phase transitions between states with different values of the magnetic moment. Particles of various shapes are investigated and the quantum phase diagram is obtained.     

Dynamic magnetic susceptibility of a superconductor with a relaxing magnetic moment

Within the framework of the diffusion approximation for the dynamic magnetic flux, a model is constructed for the dynamic magnetic susceptibility of a superconductor with a nonuniform and time-dependent magnetic field distribution in the sample. The possibility of appearance of peaks in the temperature (or frequency) dependence of χ″ in a structurally homogeneous superconducting sample in the presence of a magnetic-field-induced nonuniformity of the diffusion parameter is demonstrated. The character of the temporal evolution of the magnetic susceptibility during relaxation of the magnetic moment of the sample is predicted and its properties are investigated. Fiz. Tverd.

Magnetized plasma-induced magnetic moment of a neutrino

The influence of magnetized plasma on neutrino dispersion has been studied. The contribution to the neutrino magnetic moment due to the presence of a magnetized plasma is calculated. It is shown that, in contrast to earlier published data, the plasma-induced magnetic moment of a neutrino is, like that in a vacuum, suppressed by its mass.
