Tunable thermal hysteresis in magnetic multilayers: magnetic superheating and supercooling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The phenomena of superheating and supercooling can lead to a thermal hysteresis curve where two states are stable over a range of temperatures. Here we present a simple magnetic multilayer system (Fe/Gd) that can be designed to show a thermal hysteresis curve. Calculations show that, with proper choice of parameters, the width, in temperature, of the hysteresis curve can be controlled by an external magnetic field and varies from 20 to 100K over a field range of 300–600Oe. Polarized neutron reflectivity measurements confirm that such behavior is realized experimentally in multilayers of Fe/Gd. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 75.25.+z; 75.70. I; 75.75.+a

Thermomagnetic history effects in SmMn2Ge2
The intermetallic compound SmMn2Ge2, displaying multiple magnetic phase transitions, is being investigated in detail for its magnetization behavior near the 145 K first order ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition occuring on cooling, in particular for thermomagnetic history effects in the magnetization data. The most unusual finding is that the thermomagnetic irreversibility, [= M (T)-M...

Ni-Co/Cu multilayers have been grown by electrodeposition method from a single electrolyte (based on Ni(SO4).6H2O, Co(SO4).7H2O, Cu(SO4) and H3BO3) using galvanostatic control on titanium sublayers. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed the multilayered structure with the nanometer thicknesses. Also, electron diffraction x-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the purity of deposited samples. ...
متن کاملObservation of magnetic supercooling of the transition to the vortex state
The magnetic hysteresis of an individual magnetic disc switching in and out of the vortex state has been exhaustively measured using nanomechanical torsional resonator torque magnetometry. Each individual hysteresis loop pinpoints two sharp events, a single vortex creation and an annihilation, with a bias field precision of 0.02 kAm−1. Statistical analysis of thousands of hysteresis loops revea...

The magnetotransport behaviour is investigated in detail across the first order magnetic phase transition from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic state in polycrystalline Ce(Fe0.96Al0.04)2 sample. The study clearly brings out various generic features associated with a first order transition, viz., hysteresis, phase coexistence, supercooling and superheating, presence and limits of the metastabl...
متن کاملRapid heating and cooling in two-dimensional Yukawa systems.
Simulations are reported to investigate solid superheating and liquid supercooling of two-dimensional systems with a Yukawa interparticle potential. Motivated by experiments where a dusty plasma is heated and then cooled suddenly, we track particle motion using a simulation with Langevin dynamics. Hysteresis is observed when the temperature is varied rapidly in a heating and cooling cycle. As i...
