Temperature Difference Leads to Magnetism
نویسنده
چکیده
Computer simulations suggest that creating hot and cold regions within a specific arrangement of semiconductors generates internal electric currents and magnetic fields. If borne out by experiments, the new effect, reported 8 July in Physical Review B, could lead to improvements in electronic devices that heat up in use. Experts are intrigued by the effect but remain cautious about its practical importance until they see experimental data.

Competition/Coexisitence of Magnetism and Superconductivity in Iron Pnictides Probed by Muon Spin Rotation
The presence of macroscopic phase separation into superconducting and magnetic phases in LaFeAsO1−xFx and CaFe1−xCoxAsF is demonstrated by muon spin rotation (μSR) measurement across their phase boundaries (x = 0.06 for LaFeAsO1−xFx and x = 0.075–0.15 for CaFe1−xCoxAsF). In LaFeAsO0.94F0.06, both magnetism and superconductivity develop simultaneously below a common critical temperature, Tm ≃ Tc...
متن کاملThermodynamics of carrier-mediated magnetism in semiconductors.
We propose a model of carrier-mediated ferromagnetism in semiconductors that accounts for the temperature dependence of the carriers. The model permits analysis of the thermodynamic stability of competing magnetic states, opening the door to the construction of magnetic phase diagrams. As an example, we analyze the stability of a possible reentrant ferromagnetic semiconductor, in which increasi...
متن کاملDynamical effects on the magnetic properties of dithiazolyl bistable materials.
The magnetic properties of molecule-based magnets are commonly rationalized by considering only a single nuclear configuration of the system under study (usually an X-ray crystal structure). Here, by means of a computational study, we compare the results obtained using such a static approach with those obtained by explicitly accounting for thermal fluctuations, and uncover the serious limitatio...
متن کاملViewpoint Not all iron superconductors are the same
We are facing a new paradigm in superconductivity research with the discovery of superconductivity in iron pnictides (LaFeAsO, SrFe2As2, BaFe2As2, etc.) and the iron chalcogenides (FeTe and FeSe). Both classes of ironbased materials, for some as yet unknown reason, have proven to be fertile ground for novel superconductivity, with the transition temperature of the pnictides racing above 50 K. A...
متن کاملHemoglobin magnetism in aqueous solution probed by muon spin relaxation and future applications to brain research
A marked difference in spin relaxation behavior due to hemoglobin magnetism was found for positive muons (μ(+)) in deoxyhemoglobin in comparison with that observed in oxyhemoglobin in aqueous solution at room temperature under zero and external longitudinal magnetic fields upto 0.4 Tesla. At the same time, small but significant unique relaxation pattern was observed in nonmagnetic oxyhemoglobin...
