On the critical dynamics of ferromagnets
نویسنده
چکیده
The dynamic scaling functions for ferromagnets above and below the critical temperature are determined using mode coupling theory. Below the critical temperature we study isotropic ferromagnets taking into account the exchange interaction only and give the first numerical solution of the resulting mode coupling equations. In the paramagnetic phase we examine how the critical dynamics is modified by the addition of the dipoledipole interaction. On the basis of this theory we are able to explain in a unifying fashion the results of different experimental methods; i.e.: neutron scattering, hyperfine interaction and electron-spin resonance. Predictions for new experiments are made.

Coupling Theory for the Critical Dynamics of Dipolar Ferromagnets
Above T c the critical dynamics of isotropic ferromagnets has been studied by various experimental methods, sampling different regions in wave vector space. These measurements indicate that the critical dynamics of isotropic ferromagnets cannot be explained solely on the basis of the short range exchange interaction. In hyperfine interaction (HFI) experiments on Ni and Fe a crossover in the dyn...

We review our current understanding of the critical dynamics of magnets above and below the transition temperature with focus on the effects due to the dipole-dipole interaction present in all real magnets. Significant progress in our understanding of real ferromagnets in the vicinity of the critical point has been made in the last decade through improved experimental techniques and theoretical...

The dynamics of isotropic ferromagnets as EuO, EuS and Fe has been in focusever since the very beginnings ofthe field of critical dynamics. Despite the largeamount of experimental [1—6]and theoretical investigations [7,8], there remain importantopen problemswhich havenot been resolved up to now. (i) The expected crossover from isotropic to dipolar critical behaviour, accompanied by a change of ...
متن کاملCritical Dynamics of Ferromagnets
The crossover in the dynamics from isotropic to dipolar critical behaviour has been a matter of debate over many years. We review a mode coupling theory for dipolar ferromagnets which gives a unified explanation of the seemingly contradictory experimental situation. The shape functions, the scaling functions for the damping coefficients and the precise position of the crossover are computed. Be...

An increasing quantitative understanding of the critical dynamics of isotropic ferromagnets such as EuO, EuS and Fe above T~has been achieved recently by taking into account the long range dipolar interaction, which is present in all real ferromagnets. The results of various experimental methods [1—11] (neutron scattering, electron spin resonance and hyperfine interaction), sampling different r...
