Magnetic Anisotropy and Field-induced Slow Relaxation of Magnetization in Tetracoordinate CoII Compound [Co(CH3-im)2Cl2]

Static and dynamic magnetic properties of the tetracoordinate CoII complex [Co(CH3-im)2Cl2], (1, CH3-im = N-methyl-imidazole), studied using thorough analyses of magnetometry, and High-Frequency and -Field EPR (HFEPR) measurements, are reported. The study was supported by ab initio complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations. It has been revealed that 1 possesses a large m...

Magnetization reversal in nanoscale magnetic films with perpendicular anisotropy.

Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and magnetization dynamics in oxidized CoFeAl films

Half-metallic Co-based full-Heusler alloys with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), such as Co2FeAl in contact with MgO, are receiving increased attention recently due to its full spin polarization for high density memory applications. However, the PMA induced by MgO interface can only be realized for very thin magnetic layers (usually below 1.3 nm), which would have strong adverse effects...

Engineering magnetic anisotropy and magnetization switching in multilayers by strain.

The effect of the strain on the magnetic properties of metallic multilayers has been investigated by ab initio studies. Our results indicate that the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of an Fe(001) surface can be drastically enhanced by capping with 5d elements. By choosing Ir-Fe multilayers as a model system, we demonstrate that the MAE which depends on the composition and the structure of the ...

Theoretical screening of intermetallic ThMn12-type phases for new hard-magnetic compounds with low rare earth content

We report on theoretical investigations of intermetallic phases derived from the ThMn12-type crystal structure. Our computational high-throughput screening (HTS) approach is extended to an estimation of the anisotropy constant K1, the anisotropy field Ha and the energy product (BH)max. The calculation of K1 is fast since it is based on the crystal field parameters and avoids expensive total-ene...
