Theory of the spin dynamics of paramagnetic EuO and EuS
نویسنده
چکیده
The method of moments is used to investigate the spin dynamics of paramagnetic EuO and EuS. The theory predicts correctly those wavevectors for which a ‘spin wave’ peak appears in the spectrum. Furthermore the calculated position of this peak, when one occurs, agrees well with experiment. This suggests that earlier work, in which the same method was applied to an effective Heisenberg model for Fe, was correct in predicting that this model has no ‘spin wave’ peaks in the wavevector range covered experimentally.

The magnetisation and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum of two specimens of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), deposited from a filtered cathodic arc, were measured over a wide temperature range. The magnetisation was found to consist of superparamagnetic, paramagnetic and diamagnetic contributions. The superparamagnetic contribution resembled that recently found in carbon prepared from ...

Essential to the emergence of spin-based electronics is a source of highly polarized electron spins. Conventional ferromagnets have at best a spin polarization P~50%. Europium monoxide is a novel material capable of generating a highly spin-polarized current when used as a tunnel barrier. EuO is both a Heisenberg ferromagnet (Tc=69 K) and a semiconductor. Exchange splitting of the conduction ba...
