Magnetic structure of Gd5Ge4
Gd5Ge4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma, and orders antiferromagnetically below the Néel temperatureTN∼127 K. We have employed x-ray resonant magnetic scattering to elucidate the details of the magnetic structure. The magnetic unit cell is the same as the chemical unit cell. From azimuth scans and the Q dependence of the magnetic scattering, all three Gd sites in the structure ...
متن کاملField step size and temperature effects on the character of the magnetostructural transformation in a Gd5Ge4 single crystal
The critical magnetic fields required to induce the magnetostructural transformation below ∼30 K in Gd5Ge4 are dependent on the size of the magnetic-field step employed during isothermal measurements of magnetization: the smaller the step, the lower the critical field. The influence of the magnetic-field step size on the character of the magnetostructural transition in Gd5Ge4 diminishes as temp...
متن کاملAngular dependence of the spin-flop transition and a possible structure of the spin-flop phase of Gd5Ge4
The angular dependence of the spin-flop transition in Gd5Ge4 has been examined by magnetization measurements of a single crystal. When the magnetic field vector is tilted away from the antiferromagnetic easy axis (c axis) toward the b axis, the spin-flop transition always remains first order in nature. However, when the field vector is tilted away from the c axis toward the a axis, the first or...
متن کاملMagnetic Deflagration and Turbulent Fronts of Quantum Detonation in Molecular Magnets1
Spin tunneling in molecular magnets such as Mn-12, boosted by a strong transverse field, should result in quantum effects in magnetic burning or deflagration. As the dipolar field can block or unblock tunneling resonances, a new possibility of propagating fronts of spin flips opens up that coexists with the standard magnetic deflagration. Here this process is being considered within a full thre...
متن کاملOnset of a propagating self-sustained spin reversal front in a magnetic system.
The energy released in a magnetic material by reversing spins as they relax toward equilibrium can lead to a dynamical instability that ignites self-sustained rapid relaxation along a deflagration front that propagates at a constant subsonic speed. Using a trigger heat pulse and transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields, we investigate and control the crossover between thermally driven magnet...
