An introduced effective-field theory study of spin-1 transverse Ising model with crystal field anisotropy in a longitudinal magnetic field

A spin-1 transverse Ising model with longitudinal crystal field in a longitudinal magnetic field is examined by introducing an effective field approximation (IEFT) which includes the correlations between different spins that emerge when expanding the identities. The effects of the crystal field as well as the transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields on the thermal and magnetic properties of the spin system are discussed in detail. The order parameters, Helmholtz free energy, entropy and specific heat curves are calculated numerically as functions of the temperature and Hamiltonian parameters. A number of interesting phenomena such as reentrant phenomena originating from the temperature, crystal field, transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields have been found.     

Influences of Crystal-Field and Interlayer Coupling Interactions on Dynamic Phase Diagrams of a Mixed-Spin(3/2,2) Bilayer System

Influences of crystal-fields(D_A and D_B) and interlayer coupling interactions(J_3) on dynamic magnetic critical behaviors of a mixed-spin(3/2, 2) bilayer system under an oscillating magnetic field are investigated by the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics based on the mean-field theory. For this purpose, dynamic phase diagrams are constructed in the reduced temperature and magnetic field amplitude plane for the ferromagnetic/ferromagnetic(FM/FM),antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic(AFM/FM) and AFM/AFM interactions in detail. We observe that the influences of D_A, D_B and J_3 interactions parameters on the behavior of the dynamic phase diagrams are very much.     

Mixed spin Ising model with four-spin interaction and random crystal field

The effects of fluctuations of the crystal field on the phase diagram of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising model with four-spin interactions are investigated within the finite cluster approximation based on a single-site cluster theory. The state equations are derived for the two-dimensional square lattice. It has been found that the system exhibits a variety of interesting features resulting from the fluctuation of the crystal field interactions. In particular, for low mean value D of the crystal field, the critical temperature is not very sensitive to fluctuations and all transitions are of second order for any value of the four-spin interactions. But for relatively high D, the transition temperature depends on the fluctuation of the crystal field, and the system undergoes tricritical behaviour for any strength of the four-spin interactions. We have also found that the model may exhibit reentrance for appropriate values of the system parameters.     

Induced-moment ferromagnetic ordering in the singlet-ground state compound TmNi2

We present measurements of the magnetization in very high fields, the low temperature specific heat and the AC susceptibility, both in zero and nonzero magnetic field, of the intermetallic cubic Laves phase compound TmNi₂. This material appears to be a singlet-singlet system with an inter-ionic exchange which just exceeds the critical value for magnetic ordering. The absence of a clear anomaly in the specific heat near the ferromagnetic transition temperature T_c = 1.1 K is discussed in a molecular field approximation including crystal field effects. The results of the experiments can qualitatively be described in terms of a set of crystal field parameters corresponding to a Hamiltonian for a system with a distortion from cubic symmetry.     

First-principles study of B,C, N and F doped graphene-like MgO monolayer

Based on the first-principles calculations, we have investigated the stable geometries, electronic and magnetic properties of the graphene-like MgO monolayer with O atom substituted by B, C, N, and F atoms. The formation energy decreases in the order of B>C>N>F, which may be influenced by the different electronegativities. The band gaps of p-type doped MgO monolayers are tunable due to the emergence of impurity states within the band gap, while F-doped MgO monolayer realizes the transition from semiconductor to metal. The results show that p-type doped MgO monolayer exhibit magnetic behaviors due to polarizations of dopants and surrounding Mg or O atoms near the dopants, while no magnetism is observed in the case of F doped MgO monolayer. These results are potentially useful for spintronic applications and the development of magnetic nanostructures.     

Phase transition properties for the kinetic Ising model in an oscillating magnetic field

The phase transition properties for the kinetic Ising model in a sinusoidally oscillating magnetic field are investigated by means of the mean-field calculations. The integrated phase diagrams for not only the amplitude of the oscillating field versus temperature but also the frequency of the oscillating field versus temperature have been calculated respectively, in which the discontinuous and continuous transitions are observed. Meanwhile the hysteresis loops in relation to the two kinds of the phase diagrams have been analyzed systematically, and the effects of the amplitude and the frequency of the oscillating field on the hysteresis loops are illustrated.     

Multicritical dynamical phase diagrams of the kinetic Blume–Emery–Griffiths model with repulsive biquadratic coupling in an oscillating field

We study, within a mean-field approach, the stationary states of the kinetic Blume–Emery–Griffiths model with repulsive biquadratic coupling under the presence of a time-varying (sinusoidal) magnetic field. We employ the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics to construct set of dynamic equations of motion. The behavior of the time dependence of the order parameters and the behavior of the average order parameters in a period, which is also called the dynamic order parameters, as functions of the reduced temperature are investigated. The dynamic phase transition points are calculated and phase diagrams are presented in the reduced magnetic field amplitude and reduced temperature plane. The dynamical transition from one regime to the other can be of first- or second order depending on the region in the phase diagram. According to the values of the crystal field interaction or single-ion anisotropy constant and biquadratic exchange constant, we find 20 fundamental types of phase diagrams which exhibit many dynamic critical points, such as tricritical points, zero-temperature critical points, double critical end points, critical end point, triple point and multicritical point. Moreover, besides a disordered and ordered phases, seven coexistence phase regions exist in the system.     

Thermodynamics of electrons in the graphene bilayer

Some problems of the thermodynamics of electrons in a doped graphene bilayer are considered. Analytical expressions are derived for chemical potential and specific heat in the limiting cases of low and high temperatures. The Seebeck and Thomson coefficients are estimated. Landau levels are studied using a semi-classical approach. An expression for thermodynamic potential is obtained and the de Haas-van Alphen oscillations are studied. The oscillations of magnetic entropy and electron temperature in a magnetic field, i.e., the oscillating magnetocaloric effect, are investigated. For all parameters, the cases of graphene bilayer and monolayer are compared.     

Crystal field effects in RERh4B4 compounds (RE = rare earth)

By analysis of a large body of available data, crystal field parameters have been obtained for compounds in the series RERh₄B₄ (RE = rare-earth). These parameters have then been used to calculate properties related to the electronic and magnetic properties of such compounds, and it is shown that a substantial unification of current information is obtained for properties including bulk magnetization (polycrystalline and single crystal), magnetic susceptibility, magnetic anisotropy, Schottky anomalies in the specific heat and suppression of the superconducting transition temperature due to magnetic impurities. In agreement with previous discussions crystal field effects are found to clarify the systematics of magnetic transition temperature, but not to give a full explanation. Other phenomena, such as discrepancies in the magnetic moment of ErRh₄B₄ as measured by neutron diffraction and by Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopy cannot be explained as crystal field related phenomena.     

Mixed-Spin Ising Model in an Oscillating Magnetic Field and Compensation Temperature

Godoy et al. (Phys. Rev. B 69, 054428, 2004) presented a study of the magnetic properties of a mixed spin (1/2,1), Ising ferrimagnetic model on a hexagonal lattice without an oscillating magnetic field. They employed dynamic mean-field calculations and Monte Carlo simulations to find the compensation point of the model and to present the phase diagrams. It has been found that the N-type compensation temperature appears only when the intrasublattice interaction between spins in the σ sublattice is ferromagnetic. Moreover, the system only undergoes a second-order phase transition. In this work, we extend the study a dynamic compensation temperature of a mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising ferrimagnetic system on a hexagonal lattice in the presence of oscillating magnetic field within the framework of dynamic mean-field calculations. We find that the system displays the N-type compensation temperature. We also calculate dynamic phase diagrams in which contain the paramagnetic, ferrimagnetic, nonmagnetic fundamental phases and two different mixed phases, depending on the interaction parameters and oscillating magnetic field. The system also exhibits tricritical and reentrant behaviors.     

Dynamic phase transitions and dynamic phase diagrams of the Blume–Emery–Griffiths model in an oscillating field: the effective-field theory based on the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics

Using the effective-field theory based on the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics (DEFT), we investigate dynamic phase transitions and dynamic phase diagrams of the Blume–Emery–Griffiths model under an oscillating magnetic field. We presented the dynamic phase diagrams in (T/J, h₀/J), (D/J, T/J) and (K/J, T/J) planes, where T, h₀, D, K and z are the temperature, magnetic field amplitude, crystal–field interaction, biquadratic interaction and the coordination number. The dynamic phase diagrams exhibit several ordered phases, coexistence phase regions and special critical points, as well as re-entrant behavior depending on interaction parameters. We also compare and discuss the results with the results of the same system within the mean-field theory based on the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics and find that some of the dynamic first-order phase lines and special dynamic critical points disappeared in the DEFT calculation.

Crystal orientation in Bi-based superconducting glass-ceramics prepared in high magnetic field

A high magnetic field of 10 T was applied to the crystallization process of Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_x superconducting precursor glasses, and the effect of high magnetic field on crystal grain orientations and superconducting properties were examined from electrical resistivity measurements, X-ray diffraction analyses and scanning electron microscope observations. The glass-ceramics prepared in a high magnetic field show better superconducting properties (higher critical temperature, larger critical current density, and smaller normal-state resistivity) compared with the samples crystallized in a normal heat-treatment with no magnetic field. It was found that Bi2212 crystal grains with a plate-like shape tend to stack to the direction of the magnetic field, i.e., the orientation of the c-axis of the Bi2212 phase to the direction of the magnetic field.     

Dynamical behaviour of non-linear quantum ion acoustic wave in weakly magnetized electron–positron–ion plasma

In order to investigate the propagation characteristics of linear and non-linear ion acoustic waves (IAWs) in electron–positron–ion quantum plasma in the presence of external weak magnetic field, we have used a quantum hydrodynamic model, and degenerate statistics for the electrons and positrons are taken into account. It is found that the linear dispersion relation of the IAW was modified by the externally applied magnetic field. By using the reductive perturbation technique, a gyration-modified Korteweg-de Vries equation is derived for finite amplitude non-linear IAWs. Time-dependent numerical simulation shows the formation of an oscillating tail in front of the ion acoustic solitons in the presence of a weak magnetic field. It is also seen that the amplitude and width of solitons and oscillating tails are affected by the relevant plasma parameters such as quantum diffraction, positron concentration, and magnetic field. We have performed our analysis by extending it to account for approximate soliton solution by asymptotic perturbation technique and non-linear analysis via a dynamical system approach. The analytical results show the distortion of the shape of the localized soliton with time, and the non-linear analysis confirms the generation of oscillating tails.

Mixed Ising system designed with integer and half-integer spins: dynamic behaviors under oscillating magnetic field

By using the simplified effective-field theory based on Glauber-type stochastic dynamics, namely the dynamic simplified effective-field theory, the dynamic phase diagrams of a two-dimensional mixed spin-1 and spin-3/2 Blume–Capel model are studied in an oscillating external magnetic field. The dynamic equations are derived for two interpenetrating square lattices. The time variations of average magnetizations and the temperature dependence of the dynamic magnetizations are examined, and the dynamic phase diagrams are presented in the two different planes. The dynamic phase diagrams illustrate several ordered phases, the coexistence phase region and critical points as well as a re-entrant behavior depending on the interaction parameters. Finally, the discussion and comparison of the dynamic phase diagrams are given briefly.

Random field effects on the anisotropic quantum Heisenberg model with Gaussian random magnetic field distribution

The effect of a zero-centered Gaussian random magnetic field distribution on the phase transition properties of the anisotropic quantum Heisenberg model has been investigated on a honeycomb lattice within the framework of effective field theory (EFT) for a two-spin cluster (which is abbreviated as EFT-2). Particular attention has been devoted to investigation of the effect of the anisotropy in the exchange interaction on a system with Gaussian random magnetic field distribution. The variation of the critical temperature with the randomness parameter (i.e., the width of the distribution) has been obtained for several anisotropy parameters. Critical Gaussian distribution width values, which make the critical temperature zero, have been obtained. Moreover, it has been concluded that all critical temperatures are of second order, and that reentrant behavior does not exist in the phase diagrams.

Electronic conductivity in 1D Co spin chain single crystal

We have measured the transport and magnetic properties of the model spin chain single crystal Ca₃Co₂O₆ in high pulsed fields. A crossover between 1D and 3D transport is observed, with the opening of a Coulomb gap below the order temperature of the individual chains. The samples show changes in the variable range hopping transport dimensionality and gap; the magnetic field suppresses the gap, inducing a significant reduction of the resistance, while dimensionality seems governed by temperature. At fields associated with the levels of magnetization of the frustrated triangular lattice formed by the Co lines, and below the critical magnetic temperature, a further increase of the conductivity is observed. This effect is associated with planar magnetic states perpendicular to the lines.
