Pulsed Field-Induced Magnetization Switching in Antiferromagnetic Ferrihydrite Nanoparticles

Thermoinduced magnetization in nanoparticles of antiferromagnetic materials.

We show that there is a thermoinduced contribution to the magnetic moment of nanoparticles of antiferromagnetic materials. It arises from thermal excitations of the uniform spin-precession mode, and it has the unusual property that its magnitude increases with increasing temperature. This has the consequence that antiferromagnetism is nonexistent in nanoparticles at finite temperatures and it e...

Remanent magnetization in CoO antiferromagnetic nanoparticles

We report a study on the remanent magnetization Mr induced by field cooling across the ordering temperature TN in antiferromagnetic CoO nanoparticles with different sizes. The nanoparticles are composed by a structurally and magnetically ordered core and a structurally ordered and magnetically disordered shell with a thickness of about 2 nm. The ordered core has cell parameters, moments directi...

Magnetization switching and inverted hysteresis in perpendicular antiferromagnetic superlattices

The magnetization of antiferromagnetic (AFM) superlattices as a function of applied field was investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. The simulated hysteresis loops of systems with N magnetic layers with AFM coupling between the layers exhibit distinct steps with magnetization that decreases with increasing N. Systems with odd N exhibit 3 steps and inverted hysteresis for N> 3, whereas syst...
