Observation of ferromagnetic clusters in Bi0.125Ca0.875MnO3

چکیده
The electron doped manganite system, Bi0.125Ca0.875MnO3, exhibits large bulk magnetization of unknown origin. To select amongst possible magnetic ordering models, we have conducted temperature and magnetic field dependent small-angle neutron scattering measurements. Non-trivial spin structure has been revealed. Ferromagnetic spin clusters form in the antiferromagnetic background when temperature is decreased to Tc ∼ 108 K. With a further reduction in temperature or the application of external magnetic field, the clusters begin to form in larger numbers, which gives an overall enhancement of magnetization below Tc.

Superparamagnetic Behavior of the Magnetic Hysteresis Loop in the Fe2O3@Pt Core-Shell Nanoparticles
Studies of the magnetization of Fe2O3@Pt nanoparticles at room temperature showed that there is superparamagnetic contribution with high saturation magnetization about 12.35(emu/g), and soft ferromagnetic contribution with narrow coercive field about 58(Oe). In this paper we fitted the hystersis loop of sample with Brillouin function that demonstrating existence of superparamagnetic phase. Tota...
متن کاملThermal entanglement of spins in mean-field clusters
We determine thermal entanglement in mean field clusters of N spin one-half particles interacting via the anisotropic Heisenberg interaction, with and without external magnetic field. For the xxx cluster in the absence of magnetic field we prove that only the N = 2 ferromagnetic cluster shows entanglement. An external magnetic field B can only entangle xxx anti-ferromagnetic clusters in certain...
متن کاملDirect observation of superconducting vortex clusters pinned by a periodic array of magnetic dots in ferromagnetic/superconducting hybrid structures
Strong pinning of superconducting flux quanta by a square array of 1m-sized ferromagnetic dots in a magnetic-vortex state was visualized by low-temperature magnetic force microscopy. A direct correlation of the superconducting flux lines with the position of the dots was derived. It was found, that the superconducting vortices which are preferably located on top of the Py dots experience strong...

The preparation of transition-metal clusters with relevance in molecular magnetism has been a very prolific area of coordination chemistry, and has become of primary importance since the discovery of single-molecule magnets (SMMs). 5] As a result, a high level of understanding has been achieved of the nature and mechanism of the magnetic super exchange between 3d metals. Indeed, the vast majori...
