The geometrical structure,electronic structure and magnetism of bimetallic Au<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>M<Subscript>2</Subscript> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>=1, 2; M=Y,Zr, Nb,Mo, Tc,Ru, Rh,Pd) clusters

The geometrical structure, stability, magnetism, and electronic structure of bimetallic clusters AuM₂ and Au₂M₂, where M are 4d transition metal elements, are investigated systematically by using the first-principles method based on density functional theory. The calculation results show that there is a large amount of low-energy isomers with the very similar structure. AuM₂ and Au₂M₂ clusters display dramatic magnetism. The magnetic moment of the 4d element is either enhanced or weakened with respect to the bulk value, which is largely dependent on the orbital exchange-splitting.

Fibrillation of solar magnetic fields

Solar magnetic structures are often observed in the form of flux tubes composed of a number of smaller elements called fibres or threads, although theoretically such concentrations should not appear but should be flattened by magnetic diffusivity into a uniform, low intensity field. In this paper we describe a mechanism which may be responsible for the fibrillation and also for the very large diffusivity which dissipates magnetic flux tubes in hours instead of years. Firstly, the electric current associated with magnetic field gradients usually increases the local electron temperature and reduces the resistivity, so that the current becomes concentrated into sheets or streamers. Secondly, the magnetic field gradients continue to increase until the current magnitude reaches its limit, which is determined by the electron-ion streaming instability. Then with appropriate temperature and number densities, the Larmor radius of the ions overlaps the near discontinuity in B_z and generates a sharply peaked fluid motion at the edge that is close to the thermal speed. Finally, the resulting vorticity generates an axial magnetic field opposing B_z in the term , and if this is sufficient to change the sign of this term, the very unstable backward heat equation results. This instability repeatedly switches on and off and maintains the magnetic structure in the fibrillated form. Such structures are eventually eliminated by magnetic diffusivity in the usual way, but because of the fluctuations in B_z, this occurs at a vastly increased rate. We show that this phenomenon increases the magnetic diffusivity, D, by a factor ~ 10⁸ in agreement with some observations of plasma loops and supergranules.     

Quantum simulation of the Hubbard model with ultracold fermions in optical lattices

Ultracold atomic gases provide a fantastic platform to implement quantum simulators and investigate a variety of models initially introduced in condensed matter physics or other areas. One of the most promising applications of quantum simulation is the study of strongly correlated Fermi gases, for which exact theoretical results are not always possible with state-of-the-art approaches. Here, we review recent progress of the quantum simulation of the emblematic Fermi–Hubbard model with ultracold atoms. After introducing the Fermi–Hubbard model in the context of condensed matter, its implementation in ultracold atom systems, and its phase diagram, we review landmark experimental achievements, from the early observation of the onset of quantum degeneracy and superfluidity to the demonstration of the Mott insulator regime and the emergence of long-range anti-ferromagnetic order. We conclude by discussing future challenges, including the possible observation of high-$T_{\mathrm{c}}$ superconductivity, transport properties, and the interplay of strong correlations and disorder or topology.     

2-Chloro-3-fluoropyridine copper(II) complexes and the effect of structural changes on magnetic behavior

Abstract

A family of copper(II) compounds has been prepared with the general formula (2-chloro-3-fluoro-pyridine)₂CuX₂·n(Y), where X?=?Cl, Br, n?=?0,1, and Y?=?methanol or water. For the copper chloride complexes, only solvated structures were obtained (1, X?=?Cl, Y?=?H₂O; 2, X?=?Cl, Y?=?CH₃OH) while for the copper bromide compounds, both a desolvated structure and the methanol solvate were prepared (3, X?=?Br, Y?=?none; 4, X?=?Br, Y?=?CH₃OH). Each compound has been characterized by IR, powder X-ray diffraction, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurement. Compounds 1 and 4 are isostructural, in the space group Cm, and neither exhibits significant magnetic exchange although superexchange pathways are present. Compound 2 also crystallizes in the Cm space group and exhibits weak ferromagnetic interactions (J/k_B?=?1.72(2) K from the 1D-ferromagnetic chain model) which are likely propagated by hydrogen bonding. Compound 3 crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n with the Cu(II) ion sitting on a crystallographic inversion center. Compound 3 exhibits weak antiferromagnetic exchange via two-halide superexchange typical for similar complexes. The magnetic data for 3 were fit to the 1D-antiferromagnetic chain model resulting in J/k_B?=??1.21(1).     

Thermodynamics of the Equilibrium Between a Fractional Quantum Hall liquid and a Wigner Electron Solid

Abstract

A recent paper of Wu et al., discusses thermodynamic observables in a fractional quantum Hall (FQH) liquid. In particular the de Haas-van Alphen effect is considered theoretically. Here, it is pointed out that laboratory experiments on GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunctions, plus the analogue of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation in an applied magnetic field, allow schematic analysis of the orbital magnetism of the FQH liquid. There is general agreement with the theoretical results of Wu et al.     

Experiments on the Magnetism of Sc Implanted into Metals

The study of dilute Sc impurities in either heavier d-transition metals or in alkali metal hosts is difficult due to their limited solubility; however, the large host-impurity mismatch in these systems makes them particularly interesting in terms of local electronic structure. One way to overcome the solubility problem is implantation into the desired host; in particular, using recoil implantation following heavy-ion nuclear reactions, deep implantation into practically any host can be achieved. Here, we compare the implantation of ⁴³Sc into Cs, studied in situ by the in-beam TDPAD method [1], with the implantation of ^44m Sc into Fe, studied by low-temperature nuclear orientation (LTNO) and related techniques (NMRON, thermal cycling) [2].     

Charge‐induced modulation of magnetic interactions in a [2 × 2] metal‐organic grid complex

We investigate the magnetic state of a recently synthesized [2 × 2]‐metal‐organic grid complex as a function of its redox state. Our analysis of a phenomenological model for the relevant molecular orbitals reveals that additional electrons on the ligands can couple their spins via the bridging metal sites. We find that at certain stages of the reduction of the complex cation, a maximal total spin ground state of the complex (S = 3/2) can be stabilized by the Nagaoka mechanism. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Recent results on some columnar paramagnetic metallomesogens

The liquid crystalline and selected physical properties of some vanadyl and manganese(III)-porphyrin-TCNE complexes are discussed. These materials form linear chains from a magnetic point of view and columnar discotic LC phases. Some of the manganese complexes exhibit a bulk magnetic phase below ∼20 K. The discussed materials are studied by means of DSC, X-ray powder diffraction, dielectric spectroscopy, reversal current characterization and magnetic susceptibility measurements. A broader view on some physical properties of columnar paramagnetic metallomesogens is given.
