采用自由能极小的方法研究了铁磁/反铁磁双层膜系统在外应力场下的一致进动自旋波性质，即铁磁共振现象. 本模型中铁磁层很薄可看成单畴结构，但具有单轴磁晶各向异性和立方磁晶各向异性；而反铁磁层仅具有单轴磁晶各向异性，但其厚度趋于半无穷. 推导出了该系统的铁磁共振频率和频谱宽度的解析式. 结果表明，外应力场和界面交换耦合或反铁磁磁强度仅在弱磁场下对系统的铁磁共振有影响，且系统的铁磁共振行为按磁场强度可分为两支，其区分弱磁场和强磁场的临界场依赖于外应力场的方向. 另一方面，应力场方向的改变可借助于反铁磁层磁畴变化对铁磁层磁晶各向异性轴有影响. 关键词： 铁磁/反铁磁双层膜 界面耦合强度 铁磁共振 应力场

热效应在电流驱动反铁磁/铁磁交换偏置场翻转中的显著作用

电流驱动的面内交换偏置场翻转具有无需外磁场辅助、抗磁场干扰以及强磁各向异性等优势,受到广泛关注.然而,在纳米级厚度薄膜系统中,反铁磁/铁磁异质结的阻塞温度较低,同时电流脉冲会产生大量的焦耳热,理论上电流热效应对于交换偏置场翻转有着显著作用,但是其作用机制缺乏相关研究和验证.我们制备了一系列反铁磁IrMn厚度不同的Pt/IrMn/Py异质结,系统性地研究了热效应在电流翻转交换偏置场中的作用机制.结果表明,在毫秒级电流脉冲下,焦耳热能够使得器件升温至阻塞温度以上,解除反铁磁/铁磁界面的交换耦合,同时电流产生的奥斯特场和自旋轨道矩能够翻转铁磁磁矩,在降温过程中完成交换偏置场的翻转.并且,在翻转过程中,反铁磁/铁磁异质结的各向异性磁阻曲线呈现与温度相关的两步磁化翻转现象,分析表明该现象起源于交换偏置耦合与铁磁直接交换作用之间的竞争关系.本文的研究结果厘清了热效应在电流驱动交换偏置场翻转过程中的重要作用,有助于推动基于电控交换偏置场的自旋电子器件发展.     

Spin relaxation and antiferromagnetic coupling in semiconductor quantum dots

We report carrier spin dynamics in highly uniform self-assembled InAs quantum dots and the observation of antiferromagnetic coupling between semiconductor quantum dots. The spin relaxation times in the ground state and the first excited state were measured to be 1.0 and 0.6 ns, respectively, without the disturbance of inhomogeneous broadening. The measured spin relaxation time decreases rapidly from 1.1 ns at 10 K to 200 ps at 130 K. This large change in the spin relaxation time is well-explained in terms of the mechanism of acoustic phonon emission. In coupled quantum dots, the formation of antiferromagnetic coupling is directly observed. Electron spins are found to flip at 80 ps after photoexcitation via the interdot exchange interaction. The antiferromagnetic coupling exists at temperatures lower than 50–80 K. A model calculation based on the Heitler–London approximation supports the finding that the antiferromagnetic coupling is observable at low temperature. These carrier spin features in quantum dots are suitable for the future quantum computation.     

Spin coupling and magnetic field effects on the finite-size free energy and its non-extensivity for 1-D Ising model with nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions in nanosystem

The effects of second-neighbor spin coupling interactions and a magnetic field are investigated on the free energies of a finite-size 1-D Ising model. For both ferromagnetic of nearest neighbor (NN) and next-nearest neighbor (NNN) spin coupling interactions, the finite-size free energy first increases and then approaches a constant value for any size of the spin chain. In contrast, when NNN and NN spin coupling interactions are antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic, respectively, the finite-size free energy gradually decreases by increasing the competition factor and eventually vanishes for large values of it. When a magnetic field is applied, the finite-size free energy decreases with respect to the case of zero magnetic fields for both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin coupling interactions. Deviation of free energy per size for finite-size systems relative to the infinite system increases when the spin coupling interactions as well as the f parameter (the ratio of the magnetic field to NN spin coupling interaction) increase.

Spin Wave Spectra in a Ferromagnetic/Non-magnetic Superlatt ice with Antiparallel Magnetization

The transfer-matrix method is employed to investigate the spin waves in a ferromagnetic/non-magnetic superlat tice with an antiferromagnetic coupling between interfacial ferromagnetic layers across a non-magnetic spacer layers and the an tiparaUel magnetizations between neighboring ferromagnetic films. The dispersion relation of the spin waves is obtained. The effects of the thickness of the magnetic layers, the antiferromagnetic coupling strength and concentration of magnetic atoms at the interface on the spin wave spectra are discussed in detail.     

Dynamical and static spin conductivities in the Heisenberg model on honeycomb lattice: The effects of magnetic long range ordering

We have studied both dynamical and static spin conductivities of Heisenberg antiferromagnet on honeycomb lattice in the presence of a magnetic long range ordering. The effects of spatial anisotropy as weak Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction and next nearest neighbor exchange coupling on the behaviors of conductivities are discussed. A sublattice antiferromagnetic long range ordering has been considered for localized electrons on honeycomb lattice structure. Using Holstein–Primakoff bosonic transformations, the behaviors of spin transport properties have been studied by means of excitation spectrum of mapped bosonic gas. We have found the temperature dependence of static spin conductivity in the field induced gapped spin-polarized phase for various Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction strengths. Furthermore we have studied the frequency dependence of dynamical spin conductivity for various Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction strengths and different next nearest neighbor coupling constants. We find that the height of peak in the temperature dependence of static spin conductivity increases upon increasing the anisotropy parameter. The static spin conductivity is found to be monotonically increasing with anisotropy parameter due to increase of the energy gap in the excitation spectrum. Furthermore we have studied the temperature dependence of the spin conductivity for different next nearest neighbor coupling constants.     

Magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of the Ising ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic superlattice

A linear cluster mean-field approximation is used to study the magnetic properties of the Ising ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic superlattice, which is composed of a spin-1/2 ferromagnetic monolayer and a spin-1 antiferromagnetic monolayer with a single-ion anisotropy alternatively. By using the transfer matrix method, we calculate the magnetization and the initial magnetic susceptibility as functions of temperature for different interlayer coupling, single-ion anisotropy. We summarize the changing behaviors of the spin structure in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic layers and the characteristics of the corresponding magnetic susceptibilities, give the transition temperature as a function of the interlayer exchange coupling for different single-ion anisotropy, and analyze the features of the magnetization and the magnetic susceptibility.     

A study of the effective magnetic anisotropy and the corresponding spin configurations in two dimensional ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic system

The spin configurations of two dimensional ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic system were investigated using model calculations and Monte-Carlo simulation methods. The lowest energy state was obtained under various coupling conditions to investigate the role of interfacial interaction on anisotropy. We found that the total ferromagnetic layer anisotropy is contributed not only from its own crystalline anisotropy but also from the antiferromagnetic layer spin flop effect. The overall ferromagnetic layer effective anisotropy is calculated as a function of the exchange energy of antiferromagnetic layer and the interfacial interaction energy. If the effective anisotropy from the spin flop effect is comparable with the crystalline anisotropy, the asymmetric spin configuration is generated. In this configuration, the magnetization direction of the ferromagnetic layer is neither perpendicular nor parallel to the antiferromagnetic spin direction. Temperature effect on the perpendicular-to-collinear coupling transition was also investigated using Monte-Carlo simulation, and the relationship between the effective anisotropy and the temperature was obtained.     

Study of magnetoelectric coupling effect in the hexagonal ferroelectromagnet

Soft-mode theory based on Diffour model for ferroelectric subsystem, and mean-field theory as well as Heisenberg model for antiferromagnetic subsystem are utilized to investigate the magnetoelectric coupling effect in a hexagonal ferroelectromagnet, in which the ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic orders spontaneously coexist below a certain temperature. An anomaly of polarization at the magnetic transition temperature is ascribed to the effect of magnetoelectric coupling. The magnetic excitation has also been studied by spin-wave theory over the three-sublattice model. It is demonstrated that role of magnetoelectric coupling effect is not only related with the strength of magnetoelectric coupling but also special spin lattice structure. Our results show the magnetic specific heat induced by magnetic excitation experiences a suppression by the magnetoelectric coupling.     

Magnetoelastic instability in molecular antiferromagnetic rings

Lattice stability in a model of an antiferromagnetic ring coupled to adiabatic phonons is investigated for different values of the spin and numbers of magnetic sites. The magnetoelastic transition is shown to be heavily affected by the spin value, displaying a qualitative difference in the nature of the instability for spin one-half. Among the different synthesized materials, Cu8 seems to be the best candidate to observe lattice dimerization in these systems. Our analysis excludes stable lattice distortions in higher spin rings. The effects of thermal fluctuations are studied in the Cu8 model, where a characteristic crossover temperature is estimated.
