Random-Field Instability of the Ordered State of Continuous Symmetry

TLDR
In this article, it was shown that when the order parameter has a continuous symmetry, the ordered state is unstable against an arbitrarily weak random field in less than four dimensions and the borderline dimensionality above which mean-field-theory results hold is six.
Abstract
Phase transitions are considered in systems where the field conjugate to the order parameter is static and random. It is demonstrated that when the order parameter has a continuous symmetry, the ordered state is unstable against an arbitrarily weak random field in less than four dimensions. The borderline dimensionality above which mean-field-theory results hold is six. (auth)

A magnetization study of the frustrated spinel compound Mg1.55Fe0.9Ti0.55O4

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the long-range ferrimagnetic order is destroyed by dipolar interactions since a moderate magnetic field restores a ferromagnetic critical behavior at 164 K, and that there is no sharp spin glass or canting transition at low temperature.

Small angle neutron scattering studies of critical correlations in alloys (invited)

TL;DR: In this paper, small angle scattering (SAS) data are compared and contrasted for three different types of transition metal alloys which display a critical concentration cF for the onset of ferromagnetism.

Spin glass transition in a thin-film NiO/permalloy bilayer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors experimentally study magnetization aging in a thin-film NiO/permalloy bilayer and find that aging characteristics are nearly independent of temperature below the exchange bias blocking temperature, but rapidly vary above it.

The magnetic state of diamagnetically diluted antiferromagnetic cobalt monoxide

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the concentration dependence of the average magnetic moment per atom does not obey the condition of simple dilution and that the diamagnetic atom results in a local canting of the moments and an additional reduction of the averaged magnetic moment.
