چکیده
We present infrared and Raman measurements of magnetite (Fe3O4). This material is known to undergo a metal-insulator and a structural transition (Verwey transition) at TV = 120 K. At temperatures below TV, we observe a

Raman study of the Verwey transition in magnetite thin films
We have grown epitaxial thin films of magnetite on MgO and Al2O3 substrates with sharp and distinct signatures of the Verwey transition in resistivity and magnetization. We have used Raman scattering to separate the footprint of purely structural changes from the effect of additional charge and orbital order. Raman modes related to the structural phase transition occur first at temperatures abo...
متن کاملCharge-orbital ordering and Verwey transition in magnetite measured by resonant soft X-ray scattering.
We report experimental evidence for the charge-orbital ordering in magnetite below the Verwey transition temperature T(V). Measurements of O K-edge resonant x-ray scattering on magnetite reveal that the O 2p states in the vicinity of the Fermi level exhibit a charge-orbital ordering along the c axis with a spatial periodicity of the doubled lattice parameter of the undistorted cubic phase. Such...
متن کاملCoherent Control of Nuclear Spin Isomers of Molecules: the Role of Molecular Motion * Typeset Using Revt E X * the Work Was Presented at the Viith International Symposium on Magnetic Field and Spin
Molecular center-of-mass motion is taken into account in the theory of coherent control of nuclear spin isomers of molecules. It is shown that infrared radiation resonant to the molecular rovibrational transition can substantially enrich nuclear spin isomers and speed up their conversion rate.
متن کاملSuperconductive Phonon Anomalies in High-t C Cuprates Typeset Using Revt E X
We consider the effects on phonon dynamics of spin-lattice coupling within the slave-boson mean-field treatment of the extended t-J model. With no additional assumptions the theory is found to give a semi-quantitative account of the frequency and linewidth anomalies observed by Raman and neutron scattering for the 340cm −1 B 1g phonon mode in Y Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7 at the super-conducting transition. ...
متن کاملCharge order in Magnetite. An LDA+U study
– The electronic structure of the monoclinic structure of Fe3O4 is studied using both the local density approximation (LDA) and the LDA+U . The LDA gives only a small charge disproportionation, thus excluding that the structural distortion should be sufficient to give a charge order. The LDA+U results in a charge disproportion along the c-axis in good agreement with the experiment. We also show...
