Incommensurate spin density waves in iron aluminides.

چکیده
Neutron diffraction in Fe(Al) reveals incommensurate spin density waves (SDWs) in alloys known to be spin glasses. The wave vectors for crystals of Fe(34Al), Fe(40Al), and Fe(43Al) show n varying from 11 to 6 for q-->=2pi(h+/-1/n,k+/-1/n,l+/-1/n)/a(0), where (h,k,l) and a(0) characterize the parent bcc lattice of the CsCl structure. The magnetic reflections are present far above the spin-glass freezing temperatures. These SDWs keep the spins on nearest-neighbor Fe atoms close to parallel, in contrast with SDWs in Cr, which keep nearest-neighbor spins close to antiparallel.

Ferroelectricity induced by acentric spin-density waves in YMn2O5.
The commensurate and incommensurate magnetic structures of the magnetoelectric system YMn2O5, as determined from neutron diffraction, were found to be spin-density waves lacking a global center of symmetry. We propose a model, based on a simple magnetoelastic coupling to the lattice, which enables us to predict the polarization based entirely on the observed magnetic structure. Our data accurat...
متن کاملAnisotropic and incommensurate spin fluctuations in hcp iron and some other nearly magnetic metals
Anisotropic and incommensurate spin fluctuations in hcp iron and some other nearly magnetic metals. Abstract We present an ab initio theoretical formalism for the static paramagnetic spin susceptibility of metals at finite temperatures. Since relativistic effects, e.g. spin-orbit coupling, are included we can identify the anisotropy or easy axes of the spin fluctuations. Our calculations find h...
متن کاملPhase diagram of antiferromagnetic CrFe in the pressure-temperature plane
2014 The phase diagram under pressure up to 4 kbar of an alloy containing 2.8 at % Fe in chromium has been determined by neutron diffraction. A hysteretic first order transition to a commensurate spin density wave phase, together with an apparently second order transition from the disordered paramagnetic phase to an incommensurate phase, is observed. No triple point could be found and there is ...
متن کاملSuperconductivity and spin-density waves in multiband metals
We present a detailed description of two-band quasi-two-dimensional metals with s-wave superconducting SC and antiferromagnetic spin-density-wave SDW correlations. We present a general approach and use it to investigate the influence of the difference between the shapes and the areas of the two Fermi surfaces on the phase diagram. In particular, we determine the conditions for the coexistence o...
متن کاملHartree-Fock ground state phase diagram of jellium.
We calculate the ground state phase diagram of the homogeneous electron gas in three dimensions within the Hartree-Fock approximation and show that broken symmetry states are energetically favored at any density against the homogeneous Fermi gas state with isotropic Fermi surface. At high density, we find metallic spin-unpolarized solutions where electronic charge and spin density form an incom...
