Magnetic coupling mechanisms in particle/thin film composite systems

Magnetic γ-Fe(2)O(3) nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 20 nm and size distribution of 7% were chemically synthesized and spin-coated on top of a Si-substrate. As a result, the particles self-assembled into a monolayer with hexagonal close-packed order. Subsequently, the nanoparticle array was coated with a Co layer of 20 nm thickness. The magnetic properties of this composite nanoparticle/t...

Magnetic anisotropy in Ni 2 MnGa

We study here, within the density-functional theory, the magnetic anisotropy energy ~MAE! in Ni2MnGa which is a prototype of a magnetic shape-memory alloy. We calculate the MAE, which is a key property for the magnetic shape-memory effect, for tetragonal structure with different ratios of the c and a lattice constants, reproducing the experimental easy axes both in compression and elongation of...
