Stripe-tetragonal first-order phase transition in ultrathin magnetic films
We analyze the nature of the phase transition from a smectic stripe phase to a tetragonal phase predicted in analytic studies by Abanov et al. @Phys. Rev. B 51, 1023 ~1995!# and observed in experiments on ultrathin magnetic films by Vaterlaus et al. @Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2247 ~2000!#. At variance with existent numerical evidence, we show results of Monte Carlo simulations on a two-dimensional m...
متن کاملInvestigations of the first order magnetic phase transition in dysprosium
The first order magnetic phase transition in polycrystalline sample of dysprosium (Dy) has been investigated in detail by dcresistance vs. temperature (R-T) measurements. Distinct signature of coexistence of two magnetically ordered phases (i.e. ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic), originating as a result of the metastable behavior associated with the first order phase transition (FOPT) is fou...
متن کاملMagnetic Phase Transition in Ion-Irradiated Ultrathin CoN Films via Magneto-Optic Faraday Effect
The magnetic properties of 1 nm thick in-plane anisotropic Co ultrathin film on ZnO(0001) were investigated through successive 500 eV nitrogen-ion sputtering. Magneto-optical Faraday effects were used to observe the evolution of the ion-irradiated sample in longitudinal and perpendicular magnetic fields. The ferromagnetic phase of the initial in-plane anisotropic fcc β-Co phase transformation t...
متن کاملStripe domains and first-order phase transition in the vortex matter of anisotropic high-temperature superconductors.
We report the direct imaging of a novel modulated flux striped domain phase in a nearly twin-free YBCO crystal. These domains arise from instabilities in the vortex structure within a narrow region of tilted magnetic fields at small angles from the in-plane direction. By comparing the experimental and theoretically derived vortex phase diagrams we infer that the stripe domains emerge from a fir...
متن کاملTexture, twinning and metastable “tetragonal” phase in ultrathin films of HfO2 on a Si substrate
Thin HfO2 films grown on the lightly oxidised surface of (100) Si wafers have been examined using dark-field transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction in plan view. The polycrystalline film has a grain size of the order of 100 nm and many of the grains show evidence of twinning on (110) and (001) planes. Diffraction studies showed that the film had a strong [110] o...
