Two-phase paramagnetic-ferromagnetic state of La<Subscript>0.7</Subscript>Pb<Subscript>0.3</Subscript>MnO<Subscript>3</Subscript> single-crystal lanthanum manganite

Two phases, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic, were shown by the magnetic resonance method to coexist below the temperature T _C in La_0.7Pb_0.3MnO₃ single crystals exhibiting colossal magnetoresistance. The magnetic resonance spectra were studied in the frequency range 10–78 GHz. The specific features in the behavior of the spectral parameters were observed to be the strongest at the temperatures corresponding to the maximum magnetoresistance in the crystals. The concentration ratios of the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases in the samples were found to be sensitive to variations in temperature and external magnetic field. This behavior suggests realization of the electronic phase separation mechanism in the system under study.     

High-Frequency Magnetoresonance and Magnetoimpedance in Co/Cu Multilayers with Variable Interlayer Thickness

The paper is devoted to the investigation of high frequency magnetic features of multilayered metallic structures (Co/Cu) demonstrating the Giant Magnetic Resistance effect (GMR-effect) and Giant Magnetic Impedance effect (GMI-effect). Dynamic features have been investigated in dependence on the distance between magnetic Co-layers and analyzed in comparison with static magnetic features. Ferromagnetic resonance response as well as non-resonance magnetoimpedance at small applied static magnetic field have been studied. Experiments were carried out at room temperatures in frequency band 20-37GHz for the ferromagnetic resonance technique and in frequency band 30-140GHz for study the low field non-resonance magnetoimpedance effects.     

Oscillations of the magnetoresistance of a two-dimensional electron gas in a GaAs quantum well with AlAs/GaAs superlattice barriers in a microwave field

The effect of microwave radiation in the frequency range from 1.2 to 10 GHz on the magnetoresistance of a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas has been studied in a GaAs quantum well with AlAs/GaAs superlattice barriers. It has been found that the microwave field induces oscillations of this magnetoresistance, which are periodic in the reciprocal magnetic field (1/B). It has been shown that the period of these oscillations in the frequency range under study depends on the microwave radiation power.     

Magnetoresistance oscillations due to Zener tunneling and microwave radiation in a 2D electron gas in GaAs quantum well with AlAs/GaAs superlattices barriers

The effect of microwave radiation in the frequency range from 1.2 to 10 GHz on the magnetoresistance of a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas has been studied in a GaAs quantum well with AlAs/GaAs superlattice barriers. It has been found that the microwave field induces magnetoresistance oscillations periodic in the reciprocal magnetic field (1/B). It has been shown that the period of these oscillations in the covered frequency range depends on the microwave radiation power.     

Spin configurations in nanostructured magnetic rings: From DC transport to GHz spectroscopy

We report three different experiments performed on permalloy nanorings. They address either (a) the stray-field and (b) the magnetoresistance characteristics of an individual nanoring, or (c) the magnetization dynamics of a periodic array of identical rings. Interestingly, in all three properties covering the frequency range from DC to 20 GHz we observe irreversible switching and hysteretic behavior. Localized spin waves, which are excited by ferromagnetic resonance in different ring segments, are found to obey an intriguing magnetic field dispersion. We attribute this to the characteristic spin configurations in the nanorings, i.e., the onion and the vortex states, which are controlled by the external magnetic field.     

High-Field and Multifrequency ESR in the Two-Dimensional Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet NiGa2S4

We report the experimental results of electron spin resonance in high magnetic fields up to about 53 T on the quasi-two-dimensional triangular lattice antiferromagnet NiGa₂S₄. The temperature dependence of the resonance field at 584.8 GHz shows a steep change below about 30 K, indicating a development of the short-range correlation. The frequency dependence of the resonance field at the lowest temperature for H∥c is explained by one of the helical resonance modes. These experimental results suggest that the short-range order is well developed at low temperatures, and the resonance mode is described by a conventional spin wave theory.     

Angular and temperature‐related specific features of averaging of hole effective masses in p‐Ge at low temperatures

Microwave magnetoresistance of lightly doped (nondegenerate) p‐Ge has been studied by the electron spin resonance method, which can record the derivative of the microwave absorption with respect to the magnetic field. The change in the absorption is proportional to that in the conductivity of the semiconductor in the magnetic field (magnetoresistance). It was found that the averaging time of the light and heavy holes effective masses depends on temperature and on the magnetic field direction in a sample. An analysis of the derivative made it possible to determine regions of the fastest effective mass averaging.     

Low frequency magnetic response in antiferromagnetically coupled Fe/Cr multilayers

The magnetic field and temperature dependence of the low frequency magnetic response of antiferromagnetically coupled Fe/Cr(100) multilayers has been studied between +/-500 Oe, from 2 to 300 K. At T = 2 K the losses exhibit an unusually strong frequency dependence which can be described within a single relaxation time scheme. This relaxation time proves to be strongly field dependent. These phenomena are specific for epitaxial multilayers with large magnetoresistance. The behavior of the relaxation time at low temperatures might be related to some quantum tunneling processes.     

Spin Transport in Multi Wall Carbon Nanotubes with Co Electrodes

The magnetic field dependent transport behaviour of Co contacted multi-wall nanotubes is investigated. A sample with three Co electrodes has been measured by two-channel method with an in-plane magnetic field. When the in-plane magnetic field is perpendicular to the tube, high positive magnetoresistance up to 30% is obtained at low temperature from 3 K to 25K and with field parallel to the tube, negative magnetoresistance up to 15% is observed only from the high resistance junction. The detailed positive and negative magnetoresistance behaviour also changes with temperature.     

Off-resonance laser frequency stabilization using the Faraday effect

We present a simple technique for stabilization of a laser frequency off resonance using the Faraday effect in a heated vapor cell with an applied magnetic field. In particular, we demonstrate stabilization of a 780 nm laser detuned up to 14 GHz from the (85)Rb D(2) 5(2)S(1/2) F = 2 to 5(2)P(3/2) F' = 3 transition. Control of the temperature of the vapor cell and the magnitude of the applied magnetic field allows locking ~6-14 GHz red and blue detuned from the atomic line. We obtain an rms fluctuation of 7 MHz over 1 h without stabilization of the cell temperature or magnetic field.     

Description of the Colossal Magnetoresistance of La 1.2 Sr 1.8 Mn 2 O 7 Based on the Spin-Polaron Conduction Mechanism in the Ferromagnetic Temperature Range

We have analyzed the resistance of La1.2Sr1.8Mn2(1 – z)O7 single crystal in magnetic fields from 0 to 90 kOe in the ferromagnetic temperature range. The observed magnetoresistance of La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 is described based on the spin-polaron conduction mechanism. The magnetoresistance is determined by the change in the sizes and magnetic moment directions of magnetic inhomogeneities (polarons). It is shown that the colossal magnetoresistance is ensured by an increase (along the magnetic field) of the polaron linear size. It is found using the method for separating the contributions of different conduction mechanisms to the magnetoresistance that the contribution to the magnetoresistance from the orientation mechanism at 80 K in low magnetic fields is close to 50%. With increasing magnetic field, this contribution decreases and becomes small in fields exceeding 30 kOe. The comparable contributions to the conductivity from the orientational and spin-polaron mechanisms unambiguously necessitate the inclusion of both conduction mechanisms in the magnetoresistance calculations. We have calculated the temperature variation of the polaron size (in relative units) in zero magnetic field and in a magnetic field of 90 kOe.

On reasons for the hysteresis of melting and crystallization of nanoparticles

The specific features of the EPR spectra of Tm³⁺ impurity ions in synthetic forsterite have been studied by continuous-wave EPR spectroscopy in the frequency range of 270–310 GHz at a temperature of 4.2 K in weak magnetic fields. Narrow resonance signals unrelated to the modulation of the resonance conditions of EPR under the modulation of the external magnetic field have been discovered in measurements at frequencies corresponding to the zero field splitting between the ground and first excited singlet electron states of Tm³⁺ ions in zero magnetic field. The origin of these narrow lines is discussed.

Magnetoresistance of Electrons Channelled by Microscopic Magnetic Field Modulation

We report the magnetoresistance of two-dimensional electron gas, which is made of GaAs based epitaxial mul-tilayers and laterally subjected to a periodic magnetic field. The modulation field is produced by an array of submicrometre ferromagnets fabricated at the surface of the heterostructure. The magnetoresistance of about 20% is found at low temperature 80K. The measurement is in quantitative agreement with semiclassical simulations, which reveal that the magnetoresistance is due to electrons trapped in snake orbits along lines of zero magnetic field.     

Elastically driven ferromagnetic resonance in nickel thin films

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in the GHz frequency range are exploited for the all-elastic excitation and detection of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in a ferromagnetic-ferroelectric (Ni/LiNbO(3)) hybrid device. We measure the SAW magnetotransmission at room temperature as a function of frequency, external magnetic field magnitude, and orientation. Our data are well described by a modified Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert approach, in which a virtual, strain-induced tickle field drives the magnetization precession. This causes a distinct magnetic field orientation dependence of elastically driven FMR that we observe in both model and experiment.     

Structural, magnetic and transport properties of NiFeχAg(1−χ) heterogeneous alloys

We carried out a comprehensive study of structural, magnetic and electrotransport properties of as-deposited and annealed (Ni₈₀Fe₂₀)_χAg(_1−χ) heterogenous alloys prepared by sputtering. The NiFe atomic concentration was varied between 15% and 40%. These alloys consist of small magnetic particles (Ni₈₀Fe₂₀) embedded in a nonmagnetic matrix (Ag). The structures of these alloys were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution cross-section transmission electron microscopy. The magnetic measurements were made using SQUID magnetometry and ferromagnetic resonance. Magnetoresistance was measured with a conventional four-point probe between 1.5 K and room temperature in field range 0–6T. Three contributions to the magnetoresistance of these granular alloys have been clearly identified: the spin-valve (or giant) magnetoresistance as in multilayers, scattering on magnetic fluctuations (as in any ferromagnetic metal around its magnetic ordering temperature), and anisotropic magnetoresistance. These three contributions have their own dependences on the size of the magnetic particles, on the degree of intermixing between Ni₈₀Fe₂₀ and Ag, and on temperature. We discuss the different shapes and amplitudes of magnetoresistance versus Ni₈₀Fe₂₀ concentration or temperature and their evolution upon annealing in terms of the relative roles of these three contributions. The magnetoresistance in multilayers (current in-plane or perpendicular to the plane) and granular alloys are also compared.     

Magnetfeldabhängige Mikrowellen-Absorption und -Dispersion zur Bestimmung von Stoßfrequenz und Stoßmodell bei Flammenplasmen

At atmospheric pressure acetylene-oxygen and acetylene-air flames were burning through anX-band waveguide resonator parallel to the microwave electric field vector and perpendicular to an external magnetic field in the Voigt-geometry commonly used to study electron cyclotron resonance. However, because the electron collision frequency is greater than the angular microwave frequency, absorption and dispersion are merely slowly decreasing functions of the magnetic field strength. They depend—besides on collision frequency—on the nature of the electron collisions. Both, absorption and dispersion were evaluated independently for different classical collision models. Taking into account the tensor-property of conductivity, closest agreement of the two results for the collision frequency and best coincidence of measurement and theory was obtained for the model of an electron-polarizable molecule collision, which corresponds to a collision frequency independent of electron velocity. The collision frequency amounts to 210±4 GHz for our acetylene-oxygen-flames and 249 ± 4 GHz for the acetylene-air-flames.     

Spin–lattice relaxation phenomena in the magnetic state of a suggested Weyl semimetal CeAlGe

ABSTRACT

In this work, we report the results of DC susceptibility, AC susceptibility and related technique, resistivity, transverse and longitudinal magnetoresistance and heat capacity on polycrystalline magnetic semimetal CeAlGe. This compound undergoes antiferromagnetic type ordering around 5.2 K (T¹). Under the application of external magnetic fields, parallel alignment of magnetic moments is favoured above 0.5?T. At low field and temperature, frequency and AC field amplitude response of AC susceptibility indicate the presence of spin–lattice relaxation phenomena. The observation of spin–lattice interaction suggests the presence of the Rashba–Dresselhaus spin–orbit interaction which is associated with inversion and time-reversal symmetry breaking. Additionally, the presence of negative and asymmetric longitudinal magnetoresistance indicates anomalous velocity contribution to the magnetoresistance due to the Rashba–Dresselhaus spin–orbit interaction which is further studied by heat capacity.     

Microwave-frequency spin-dependent tunneling in nanocomposites

The transmission coefficient of films of Co_51.5Al_19.5O₂₉, Co_50.2Ti_9.1O_40.7, Co_52.3Si_12.2O_35.5, and (Co_0.4Fe_0.6)₄₈(MgF)₅₂ ferromagnetic metal-insulator magnetic nanocomposites exhibiting tunneling magnetoresistance and the magnetorefractive effect for electromagnetic waves was studied in the frequency range 30–50 GHz. The transmission coefficient of the first two compositions varies strongly under an applied magnetic field, and its variation exhibits a linear correlation with the field dependence of magnetoresistance. For the other two compositions, the transmission coefficient does not depend on magnetic field. The data obtained are interpreted in terms of the concept of microwave spin-dependent tunneling.
