Magnetic Orbitals and Mechanisms of Exchange I. Direct Exchange

Summary. The problem of direct exchange is examined in the simplest cases (formal coupling of two electrons initially isolated and hydrogen molecule). Then we consider the general case of a solid characterized by weak overlaps between the atomic orbitals of first-nearest neighbours so that the involved electrons are quasi-localized. We recall the physical origin of spin-orbit coupling. Its influence on direct exchange allows one to revisit Hunds rules and to express phenomenological Hamiltonians describing anisotropic couplings as well as the antisymmetrical Dzialoshinski-Moriya coupling.

Summary The reaction of warmDMF solutions of Cu(II) perchlorate, 5-nitrosalicylaldehyde S-methylisothiosemicarbazone (H₂ L) and piperidine (Pip) yielded the paramagnetic (_eff=2.19 B.M.) Cu(L)Pip complex, whereL is the dianionic form of H₂ L, formed as a result of deprotonation of the phenolic hydroxyl and NH₂ group. Crystal data of the complex are: monoclinic P2₁,a=11.902(4),b=6.765(3),c=11.343(4)Å; =112.92°,V=841.20(8)ų,M=400.9,Z=2,d ₀=1.60 gcm^–3,d _c =1.58 gcm^–3,F(000)=424. The structure was refined to a residualR=0.047. The copper(II) ion is coordinated in a square-planar arrangement by the piperidine nitrogen and the NNO set of donor atoms ofL.

Electrical resistivity, optical and magnetic properties of the layered oxyselenide SmCuOSe

The electrical and magnetic properties of the tetragonal phase SmCuOSe are reported as a function of the temperature. The optical properties were studied by means of diffuse reflectance spectrum in the UV-Vis range. The electrical resistivity measurements as well as diffuse reflectance spectrum show that SmCuOSe is a semiconductor with an optical band gap (E_g) of 2.6 eV. In this phase, Cu is at its monovalent oxidation state and, as such, it does not contribute to the total magnetic moment, whereas Sm is in its 3+ oxidation state, with a large VanVleck contribution due to the admixture of the fundamental state with higher energy levels.     

Synthesis of magnetic DDAB vesicles

The synthesis of magnetic vesicles is described. The vesicles are constituted by didodecyldimethylammonium bromide and have a diameter of about 1 m. An aqueous magnetic fluid, constituted by charged magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in water without surfactant, is encapsulated in the vesicle with a volume fraction in particles that may range up to 10%. The first step of the encapsulation is the synthesis of a multiple emulsion the intermediate oily phase being evaporated to obtain the DDAB bilayer. The magnetic vesicles thus synthesized align and change shape when a magnetic field is applied.     

Magnetic susceptibility of liquid gold-indium-zinc alloys

Summary Alloys of the ternary system gold-indium-zinc with a variable content of goldx _Au at a constant ratio ofx _In:x _Zn=1:1 have been investigated by susceptibility measurements from 300 K up to 1500 K with emphasis on the liquid state. The magnetic susceptibilities of the homogeneous liquids were found to vary in a non-linear manner with temperature and composition. At temperatures close to the liquid-solid transition, the susceptibilities pass through a characteristic minimum which tends to disappear with increasing temperature. The anomaly located atx _Au 0.6 seems to be related to a particular valence electron concentration ofe/a 1.6.

Magnetische Suszeptibilität von flüssigen Gold-Indium-Zink-Legierungen

Zusammenfassung Legierungen des ternären Systems Gold-Indium-Zink mit einem variablen Goldgehaltx _Au bei konstantem Indium-Zink-Verhältnis (x _In:x _Zn=1:1) wurden zwischen 300 und 1500 K auf ihre magnetische Suszeptibilität untersucht. Das Hauptaugenmerk wurde dabei auf den flüssigen Zustand gelegt. Die magnetischen Suszeptibilitäten der homogenen Schmelzen variieren nichtlinear mit Temperatur und Zusammensetzung. Bei Temperaturen nahe dem übergang flüssig-fest tritt ein charakteristisches Minimum der Suszeptibilität auf, das mit steigender Temperatur verschwindet. Die Anomalie bei einemx _Au vonca. 0.6 scheint mit einer speziellen Valenzelektronenkonzentration (e/a) von etwa 1.6 verknüpft zu sein.

Magnetic exchange interactions in tetrabromocuprate compounds

Magnetic and structural data for 28 compounds containing the tetrabromocuprate ion are presented. The parameters which affect the strength and sign of the magnetic superexchange interaction via non-bonding contacts between bromide ions are described and a system for describing the topology of the interaction between tetrahedra is proposed. Analysis of the data suggests that the primary factors affecting the magnetic exchange are the Br?Br distance, the Cu-Br?Br angle and the Cu-Br?Br-Cu dihedral angle.

Evaluation of a magnetically coupled microcavity hollow cathode discharge for atomic emission spectroscopy

A magnetically coupled microcavity hollow cathode discharge device was evaluated for its analytical potential as a boosted atomic emission source. A magnetic field using an electromagnet was applied perpendicular to the axis of the microcavity hollow cathode. The intensity of the atomic emission of copper, aluminum and the ionic emission of magnesium increased with increasing magnetic field until it reached a maximum. A further increase in the field strength did not lead to an enhancement of these emissions. The attainment of the maxima was attributed to the increase in the electron temperature and radial diffusion of the electrons from the center of the microcavity axis. Electron temperatures in the presence of the magnetic field calculated based on the semicorona model were shown to be proportional to the square of the reduced field strength. Further, these maxima were correlated to the energies of the upper levels of the transition studied.     

Hexagonal Ferrites from Melts and Aqueous Solutions,Magnetic Recording Materials

Owing to their particular crystallographic properties, ferrimagnetic hexagonal ferrites exhibit a far greater coercive force than the conventional magnetic pigments. They therefore appear to be suitable for use in magnetic information storage procedures, some of which are novel and are at the development stage. Thus, magnetic tapes of high coercive force containing barium ferrite could be used as master tapes for copying magnetic information or for producing forgery-proof magnetic cards, if magnetic heads having high-order write fields were successfully developed. Moreover, platelet-like ferrite pigments in which the preferred direction of magnetic orientation is perpendicular to the plane of the platelet are of great interest for perpendicular magnetic recording. In this progress report, the crystal structures, magnetic characteristics of hexagonal ferrites, and chemical processes for their production are discussed. In particular, reactions in salt melts or under hydrothermal conditions produce finely divided pigments whose particles have a pronounced hexagonal, plate-like habit, a narrow particle size distribution, and advantageous magnetic properties. The magnetic properties of the pigments crystallized from salt melts may be adjusted by cation exchange.
