Journal ArticleDOI

Abstract: The origin of the Curie-Weiss law of the magnetic susceptibility universally observed in ferromagnetic materials is discussed from a point of view that the local spin fluctuation amplitude is almost conserved. A fully consistent treatment is presented which can deal with both the ordered phase and the paramagnetic phase on an equal footing. In the case of weakly ferromagnetic limit, Rhodes-Wohlfarth plot is revised from a new stand point. In the ordered phase, observed systematic trends of magnetization curves are explained in connection with the nature of dynamical spin fluctuation spectra. Some new interesting relations among various magnetic data are derived and compared with experiments. Temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibilities of Fe and Ni is also discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, exact expressions for the Curie temperature, magnetization, quadrupolar moment and the susceptibility of a spin-one Ising model on a Bethe lattice are derived.
Abstract: Exact expressions for the Curie temperature, magnetization, quadrupolar moment and the susceptibility of a spin-one Ising model on a Bethe lattice are derived. Biquadratic exchange and single-ion anisotropy are included, in addition to the bilinear exchange interactions. The variation of the critical temperature with the relative strengths of these interactions is studied. The expressions for the magnetization and quadrupolar moment are compared, where possible, to those previously reported for Ising systems on a Bethe lattice. The equivalence of our results with those obtained by a generalized constant-coupling approximation applied to a spin-one Ising model on a regular lattice is demonstrated. The magnetization curves and the thermal variation of the quadrupolar moment are studied in depth for a range of interaction parameters where unusual features appear because of the presence of an anti-Curie temperature. The temperature variation of the zero field susceptibility is also studied in this region.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the zero-field suscetpibility χ of many ferromagnets may be described with high accuracy by a modified power law (generalized Curie-Weiss law) χT ∼ [(T − TC)/T]−γc in the whole paramagnetic regime, where γc is the critical susceptibility exponent.
Abstract: It is shown that the zero-field suscetpibility χ of many ferromagnets may be described with high accuracy by a modified power law (generalized Curie-Weiss law) χT ∼ [(T – TC)/T]−γc in the whole paramagnetic regime, where γc is the critical susceptibility exponent. In contrast, the conventional power law χTC ∼ [(T – TC)/TC]−γc holds only for the very small critical regime. Application of the scaling variable (T – TC)/T, which is non-linear in T, to other physical situations (spin glasses, percolation) is discussed. Altogether the temperature range where scaling ideas are useful appears to be much wider than generally expected.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic study of the magnetic properties of Fe-Sc amorphous alloys has been carried out for the first time, and the average magnetic moment is larger than that of FeZr and Fe-Ti amorphus alloys, which is in conformity with the results obtained by band calculations.
Abstract: A systematic study of the magnetic properties of Fe-Sc amorphous alloys has been carried out for the first time. The samples were prepared by dc high-rate sputtering. The average magnetic moment is larger than that of Fe-Zr and Fe-Ti amorphous alloys. This trend is in conformity with the results obtained by band calculations. The difference in magnitude between calculated and observed magnetic moments in Fe-early transition metals is explained by taking into account the contraction of atomic distance. The thermal expansion anomaly associated with the spontaneous volume magnetostriction ω s is more pronounced with decreasing Sc content and the shrinkage is observed even above the Curie temperature. The Curie temperature exhibits the highest value around 20% Sc. The pressure shift of the Curie temperature is also significantly large, reflecting a large value of ω s . The pressure coefficient of the Curie temperature (1/T c )(dT c /dP) varies linearly with the Curie temperature, and its sign changes around 20% Sc. The striking thermal expansion anomaly above T c , and the linear relationship between (1/T c )(dT c /dP) and T c imply that the present Fe-Sc amorphous alloys are magnetically inhomogeneous.

TL;DR: Amorphous alloys have been prepared by melt quenching technique and their magnetization measurements have been made over the temperature range from 77 to 800 K in this paper, where the observed ratio of the spinware stiffness constant to the Curie temperature 0.15 meV A -1 is nearly independent of Mn concentration, from which the localized electron nature characterizing the nearest neighbor interaction is preferred in the present alloys.

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic model of phase transitions in ferroelectric ceramics is suggested and the behavior of the basic physical properties of the system with respect to microstructure (grain size, pore density, etc.) and Ferroelectric characteristics (polarization, dielectric constant, Curie Weiss constant) are discussed in the cases of 1st and 2nd order phase transitions.
Abstract: A thermodynamic model of phase transitions (PT) in ferroelectric ceramics is suggested and the behavior of the basic physical properties of the system with respect to microstructure (grain size, pore density, etc.) and ferroelectric characteristics (polarization, dielectric constant, Curie Weiss constant, etc.) are discussed in the cases of both 1st and 2nd order phase transitions. The model is based on geometric and dimensional effects which occur in ferroic systems and assumes ceramics as a single domain matrices consisting of grains and pores.

TL;DR: Magnetic susceptibility was measured on the samples of U1-xGdxO2 prepared by a coprecipitation method from 1.7 K to room temperature as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Magnetic susceptibility was measured on the samples of U1-xGdxO2 prepared by a coprecipitation method from 1.7 K to room temperature. The behavior of magnetic susceptibility is contributed almost from trivalent gadolinium ion because of its very large spin magnetic moment of 8S. For x<40%, the magnetic susceptibility-temperature curve obeyed Curie-Weiss law and values of magnetic susceptibility increase linearly with increasing gadolinium concentrations. For the higher concentrations of gadolinium the magnetic susceptibility-temperature curve has a peak at 34 K, showing a magnetic field dependence of magnetic susceptibility at liquid helium temperature which would be expected for the case of a weak magnetic anisotropy in antiferromagnets.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported a single Lorentzian absorption with a relatively narrow linewidth and freeelectron g-value for four hot-pressed boron-rich Boron carbide samples B1−xCx in the composition range 01≤x≤02 at 2 K.
Abstract: Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra are reported for four hot‐pressed boron‐rich boron carbide samples B1−xCx in the composition range 01≤x≤02 At 2 K the spectra for all four compositions are characterized by a single Lorentzian absorption with a relatively narrow linewidth and free‐electron g‐value The B4C ESR linewidth remains narrow between 2 and 295 K, while the linewidth of the other three samples containing less carbon increases by a factor of 20 over this temperature range Above 20 K the ESR signal in the latter three samples has a lineshape that cannot be described by a single Lorentzian, but can be explained as the sum of two Lorentzians with different linewidths, suggesting the presence of two distinct paramagnetic centers The integrated intensities of the ESR signals in all samples follow a Curie law below 100 K, and the Currie constant corresponds to spin concentrations of 2 to 3×1019 per gram While these values are in agreement with static magnetic susceptibility data for samples cut from the same hot‐pressed element, they are approximately two orders of magnitude less than the carrier densities estimated from transport measurements This suggests that the carriers are spinless bipolarons

TL;DR: In this paper, a refined method for preventing the incorporation of oxygen into Chevrel compounds is presented, which has been used in producing Cu1.8Mo6S8, SnMo6s8, and PbMo 6S8.
Abstract: A refined method for preventing the incorporation of oxygen into Chevrel compounds is presented. This method has been used in producing Cu1.8Mo6S8, SnMo6S8, and PbMo6S8. The removal of oxygen enhances the magnetic susceptibility of these materials as well as raising their superconducting transition temperatures. The curves of magnetic susceptibility versus temperature show structures that may indicate lattice deformations.

TL;DR: In this article, the thickness dependence of the magnetization and the Curie temperature has been calculated for (111)oriented Y3Fe5O12 films using the molecular field theory to compare with the experimental results.
Abstract: The thickness dependence of the magnetization and the Curie temperature has been calculated for (111)‐oriented Y3Fe5O12 films using the molecular field theory to compare with the experimental results. It is found that the sublattice magnetization for a layer, i.e., the local magnetization, changes with depth. The local magnetization changes only four layers from surfaces and is constant for layers inside at room temperature. The average value of the local magnetization with respect to depth, i.e., the magnetization of the film decreases monotonically with decreasing thickness. The Curie temperature is constant down to about 30 A; below that it decreases. The calculated results explain the experimental thickness dependence of Curie temperature and effective anisotropy field within the error.

TL;DR: In this article, for the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a square lattice with two-dimensional purely dipole interaction, seven terms are calculated in the high-temperature expansions of the susceptibility with respect to an inhomogeneous field with the period of the ground state and of the energy.
Abstract: For the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a square lattice with two-dimensional purely dipole interaction, seven terms are calculated in the high-temperature expansions of the susceptibility with respect to an inhomogeneous field with the period of the ground state and of the energy. The estimate of the critical exponent of the susceptibility with respect to the inhomogeneous field, ..gamma.. = 1.00 +/- 0.05, shows that the model and the Ising model with short range interaction belong to different universality classes. The estimates of the critical temperature and the Curie-Weiss constant differ by more than a factor two from the predictions of the molecular field approximation. The values of the energy and entropy at the critical point indicate that there are strong correlation effects in the paramagnetic phase.

From the polarization components, the field, time and temperature dependence of the mean magnetization and the local magnetization in the domains were determined, which delivered very accurate values for the critical exponents β and γ the magnetic anisotropy and detailed information about the magnetization reversal in the critical region of nickel.
