Lattice-distortion Induced Magnetic Transition from Low-temperature Antiferromagnetism to High-temperature Ferrimagnetism in Double Perovskites A2FeOsO6 (A = Ca, Sr)

High-temperature insulating ferrimagnetism is investigated in order to further reveal its physical mechanisms, as well as identify potentially important scientific and practical applications relative to spintronics. For example, double perovskites such as Sr2FeOsO6 and Ca2FeOsO6 are shown to have puzzling magnetic properties. The former is a low-temperature antiferromagnet while the latter is a...

Volume anomaly in ferrimagnetism

2014 The volume anomaly 0394V/V due to the magnetic energy corresponding to the exchange interactions is experimentally determined for YIG. The experimental values (from 77 K to Tc) agree with the values deduced from the theoretical expression based on the Néel’s theories of volume anomaly and of ferrimagnetism. These results are compared with those obtained by other authors on ferromagnetic an...

Entangling Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism

Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism

We study the structure of symmetric vortices in a Ginzburg–Landau model based on S. C. Zhang’s SO(5) theory of high temperature superconductivity and antiferromagnetism. We consider both a full Ginzburg–Landau theory (with Ginzburg–Landau scaling parameter κ < ∞) and a κ → ∞ limiting model. In all cases we find that the usual superconducting vortices (with normal phase in the central core regio...
