The Magnetism Group Projects Theses Personell Former members ... Home Tunable magnetic properties Several part goals compose this project, that in general terms can be described as an attempt to understand, control and tune magnetic properties of bulk materials. In particular the magneocrystalline anisotropy (MAE), magnetostriction, and saturation magnetization are of interest. The possibility to tune these properties by means of controlling crystal structure (including amorphous phases), alloying conditions and manufacturing conditions are investigated experimentally as well as theoretically. The project involves chemistry and physics at Uppsala University: Solid State Physics, Materials Chemistry and Condensed Matter Theory. In addition experimental work will be done at KTH on fabrication and characterization of rapidly quenched amorphous soft magnets. The project on tuneable magnets include one part that concerns fundamental theoretical and experimental studies of 3d based alloys and compounds, with an emphasis on manganese-containing systems, e.g. Me n Mn type of compounds, where Me is a light or heavy platinum metal and n = 1, 2 or 3. Another investigation concerns Vau

Magnetic Properties of Solids Materials may be classified by their response to externally applied magnetic fields as diamagnetic paramagnetic , or ferromagnetic . These magnetic responses differ greatly in strength. Diamagnetism is a property of all materials and opposes applied magnetic fields, but is very weak. Paramagnetism, when present, is stronger than diamagnetism and produces magnetization in the direction of the applied field, and proportional to the applied field. Ferromagnetic effects are very large, producing magnetizations sometimes orders of magnitude greater than the applied field and as such are much larger than either diamagnetic or paramagnetic effects. The magnetization of a material is expressed in terms of density of net magnetic dipole moments m in the material. We define a vector quantity called the magnetization M by M = m total /V Then the total magnetic field B in the material is given by B = B m M where m is the magnetic permeability of space and B is the externally applied magnetic field. When magnetic fields inside of materials are calculated using Ampere's law or the Biot-Savart law , then the m in those equations is typically replaced by just m with the definition m = K m m where K m is called the relative permeability . If the material does not respond to the external magnetic field by producing any magnetization, then K

Men have wondered about magnetism for more than 3000 years now, while making the best of it in their daily life. We see manifestations of magnetism in many aspects of modern life; its effects are used to drive electric motors, transformers, telephones, and to store digital information on credit cards and computers. Yet its understanding, even in the simplest materials, is still incomplete. The results are not only important for a fundamental understanding of low-dimensional magnetism but bear also important implications for magnetic data storage technology. Currently more than 105 atoms (spins) are needed for the construction of a stable magnetic bit in the hard disc of a personal computer. If the number of spins needed for establishing a bit can be scaled down, the storage density automatically goes up. How far can this scaling go? In the experiment it is shown that by decreasing the coordination of the magnetic atoms values of the magnetic anisotropy energy are obtained that are two orders of magnitude larger than those so far encountered in transition metal systems. The measured anisotropy energies for the monatomic cobalt chains indicate that not more than a few hundred cobalt atoms might be needed in tailor-made structures for constructing a stable magnetic bit at room temperature. A brilliant perspective for the race to terabit memories!

CECAM Workshops on Growth, morphology and magnetic properties of epitaxial metallic systems 17-19 July 2000, Lyon, France to the main page webmaster mail Scientific background T he main objectives of research in solid state physics have received new impulses from two important developments: the possibility to build and manipulate artificial structures (quantum wells/wires/dots, metallic superlattices), and the possibility to perform quantitative analyses which do not require `massive' quantity of matter. These novel developments have primarily involved semiconductors, but more recently have been applied to metals: their growth by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (or other similar techniques) allows a control of the thickness at the atomic layer scale. Metals are important mainly for their possible magnetic properties and applications as storage media and sensors. This field is currently very active, not only for the possible applications of magnetic nanostructures. In fact, metallic films are potentially important toward revealing fundamental aspects of low-dimensional systems. In addition, the growth process itself is extremely interesting because the study of the dynamics of a growing surface is a classic topic of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics: it implies kinetic roughening and growth instabilities.

Magnetic Properties Klein and Hurlbut (21 st Ed) p. 179, 270-274 Mineral magnetism and it applications to geology. Mapping - magnetic anomaly surveys are used for geologic mapping and they are a tool for ore deposit prospecting. Plate Tectonics - paleomagnetism is the principle field of study that has helped place the positions of continents and ocean floors through time. Stratigraphy - magneto-stratigraphy helps the correlation of sedimentary beds in basins and constrain sedimentation rates. Material properties - magnetic properties of minerals can be exploited during ore processing to help separate/beneficiate minerals. Source of magnetic properties. Magnetic properties originate from the spin properties of electrons. Where, n = volume, I = shape, m = orientation, s = spin directions. The figure below shows the directional characteristics (I) of the first three electron shape regions. Pauli exclusion principle - no two electrons in an orbital can have the same four quantum properties. This effectively limits each orbital to only two electrons. The spin properties of electrons that surround atomic nuclei are responsible for magnetic properties of a mineral. Each electron has the property of spin. Because an electron is charged, as it spins, it creates a magnetic field. This is somewhat analogous to creating a magnet by letting electrons flow through coiled wire.

Magnetism Research Area The dipolar interaction can give rise to a variety of interesting and potentially important phenomena in magnetic systems. While typically small in comparison with the exchange interaction, the long range character and the isotropic nature of the dipolar interaction can have a significant effect on the magnetic properties of a wide range of systems. Much of the present research in the CMP group at Memorial concerns the role of the dipolar interction in two dimensional systems. In the case of a two dimensional spin system in which the anisotropy of the magnetic moment is sufficiently large that the spins are constrained to align perpendicular to the plane, the long range character of the dipolar interaction gives rise to a ground state consisting ofof a periodic array of stripes of alternating spin.. The width of the stripes is determined by the strength of the exchange coupling. At finite temperatures, the periodic array of stripes "melt" to form an amorphous striped phase in which the orientational order of the striped phase is destroyed. The results of this work are described in the following publications.

DeVries (Miami University, Oxford OH 45056) We have simulated the uniquely interacting orbits of these fifth and sixth moons of Saturn. With a mean radial separation less than the diameter of either body, and nearly equal orbital velocities, the two satellites circle around Saturn relatively unaffected by each other until the inner satellite begins to ``catch up'' to the outer one. When this occurs, the inner satellite is boosted into a higher orbit, while the outer satellite is dropped into a lower orbit. For simplicity, a twodimensional closed system was considered, with calculated interactions between Saturn and each satellite as well interactions between the two satellites. Various FORTRAN programgenerated graphs demonstrate the interactive behavior. The two moons are visually recorded exchanging orbits in a time that agrees with mathematical calculations, providing support to the claim that the satellites do indeed maintain a coorbital relationship.

Previous session Next session Session F19 - Magnetism of Clusters and Nanoparticles. MIXED session, Tuesday morning, March 18 Room 2206, Conv. Center Magnetism of Free and Supported Transition-metal Clusters Budda Reddy (Physics Department, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia) Atomic clusters provide an ideal system where the evolution of magnetism from atoms to the bulk can be studied. Clusters are characterized by unique geometries and reduced symmetry and dimensionality. Thus, the studies of the magnetic moment on cluster size can demonstrate how the bulk and surface magnetism evolve. Studies of magnetic properties of clusters on metallic substrates provide an additional dimension to this problem. Using first principles state-of-the-art theoretical techniques, the evolution of magnetic moments of transition metal clusters such as those of Ni, V, Mn, and Rh will be presented. The role of substrate on cluster geometry, stability, and magnetic properties will also be discussed. A critical comparison between theory and experiment will be made.

Electron Theory of Magnetism at Surfaces, Interfaces, Thin Films and in the Bulk Investigations of the intrinsic electronic and magnetic properties of elementary metals and of ordered and disordered intermetallic compounds (magnetic moments, magnetic hyperfine fields, isomer shifts, exchange couplings,magnetic anisotropy, magnetostriction, spin waves, non-collinear spin structures, magnetic surfaces and overlayers) at the surface, at interfaces, in thin films and in the bulk by the full-potential linear-muffin-tin-orbital method, the full-potential linearized-augmented-plane-wave method, the linear-muffin-tin-orbital method in atomic-sphere approximation and the ab-initio mixed-basis pseudopotential method are carried out. Special emphasis is on systems with rare-earth atoms. The atomistic calculations are combined with statistical mechanics and with the theory of micromagnetism in order to investigate the temperature and field dependence of the magnetic properties.

Fluctuations in magnetic systems Spin electronics J F Gregg Click here for the Spin electronics Web site Conventional electronics has ignored the spin of the electron. Indeed, with the exception of solenoids, relays, Hall sensors and the occasional specialist microwave device, magnetism has traditionally been the ‘poor relation’ in the world of electronic circuitry. In the everyday silicon transistor, the different families of electrical carrier are distinguished by their different effective charges: however no practical use is made of the fact that some are spin-up and others are spin-down. The recognition of this distinction is the key which promises to unlock a whole new generation of spin electronic devices whose operation relies upon differential manipulation of independent families of current carriers with opposite spin polarisation. Spin electronic devices work by transferring this spin information from one part of the device to another where it is subsequently ‘read’. The information is mediated by the electrical carriers and it decays on a characteristic length scale (the spin diffusion length) which is the average distance diffused by a carrier spin before flipping. This can vary from nanometers to microns depending on material. An essential criterion for the creation of spin electronics is thus the ability to engineer structures whose physical dimensions are of this order or smaller. With the advent of modern thin film and nanofabrication technology this dream is now a reality.

76. Physical Properties Of Minerals minerals only show magnetic properties when subjected to an external magneticfield. When the magnetic field is removed, the minerals have no magnetism. http://www.tulane.edu/~sanelson/geol211/physprop.htm

Prof. Stephen A. Nelson Geology 211 Tulane University Mineralogy Physical Properties of Minerals Crystal Habit In nature perfect crystals are rare. The faces that develop on a crystal depend on the space available for the crystals to grow. If crystals grow into one another or in a restricted environment, it is possible that no well-formed crystal faces will be developed. However, crystals sometimes develop certain forms more commonly than others, although the symmetry may not be readily apparent from these common forms. The term used to describe general shape of a crystal is habit. Some common crystal habits are as follows (discussed previously): Individual Crystals Cubic - cube shapes Octahedral - shaped like octahedrons, as described above. Tabular - rectangular shapes. Equant - a term used to describe minerals that have all of their boundaries of approximately equal length. Acicular - long, slender crystals. Prismatic - abundance of prism faces.

Magnetism in Films, Wires, and Quantum Dots Our work, combined with that of our collaborators at the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics in Halle, Germany, has led to a systematic study of the effect of dimensionality on the magnetic properties of nanoscale structures. Pictured below are tunneling microscope images of an ultrathin film, nanowire array, and a collection of quantum dots made from the same amount of iron 80% of a single atomic layer. The ultrathin film and nanostripes were prepared by the group in Halle In each case, the magnetic behavior of the system was observed with the magneto-optical Kerr effect. We recently reported the results here: J. Shen, J.P. Pierce, E.W. Plummer, and J. Kirschner, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter The nanostructures above are built from a constant amount (80% of an atomic layer) of iron and are prepared on the same template Cu(111). The nanowires and quantum dots do not cover 80% of the surface since the structures are larger than 1 atomic layer in height. Using the Surface Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (SMOKE), the field, temperature, and time dependence of the magnetization of each of the three manifestations of Fe on Cu(111) have all been observed. Other recent work includes growing Fe nanowire arrays on insulating substrates and studying the behavior of Fe-Co alloy nanowire arrays prepared on a miscut tungsten surface.
