Magnetic Phase Diagram And Correlation Between Metamagnetism And Superconductivity In Ru0.9sr2ycu2.1o7.9, Rashmi Nigam, Shane J. Kennedy, Alexey V. Pan, S X. Dou

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

The magnetic superconductor Ru0.9Sr2YCu2.1O7.9 (Ru-1212Y) has been investigated using neutron diffraction under variable temperature and magnetic field. With the complementary information from magnetization measurements, we propose a magnetic phase diagram T-H for the Ru-1212 system. Uniaxial antiferromagnetic (AFM) order of 1.2μ B/Ru atoms with moments parallel to the c-axis is found below the magnetic transition temperature at ~140 K in the absence of magnetic field. In addition, ferromagnetism (FM) in the ab-plane develops below ~120 K, but is suppressed at lower temperature by superconducting correlations. Externally applied …

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

We report a simple one step protocol for the preparation of fairly monodisperse and highly water-soluble magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONs) through a co-precipitation method using a novel multifunctional, biocompatible and water-soluble polymer ligand dodecanethiol-polymethacrylic acid (DDT-PMAA). DDT-PMAA owing to its several intrinsic properties, not only efficiently controls the size of the MIONs but also gives them excellent water solubility, long time stability against aggregation and oxidation, biocompatibility and multifunctional surface rich in thioether and carboxylic acid groups. The molecular weight and concentration of the polymer ligand were optimized to produce ultrasmall (4.6 +/- 0.7 nm) MIONs with high magnetization …

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

The structural and magnetic properties of seven PrMn2Ge2-xSix compounds with Si concentrations in the range x = 0.0-2.0 have been investigated by x-ray diffraction, magnetic (5- 350 K), differential scanning calorimetry (300-500 K) and neutron diffraction (3-480 K) measurements. Replacement of Ge by Si leads to a contraction of the unit cell and significant modifications to the magnetic states-a crossover from ferromagnetism at room temperature for Ge-rich compounds to antiferromagnetism for Si-rich compounds. The compositional dependence of the room temperature lattice parameters exhibits non-linear behaviour around x = 1.2, reflecting the presence of magnetovolume effects. Re-entrant ferromagnetism has been observed …

The Flux Pinning Mechanism, And Electrical And Magnetic Anisotropy In Fe1.04te0.6se0.4 Superconducting Single Crystal, Mahboobeh Shahbazi-Manshadi, Xiaolin Wang, S X. Dou, H Fang, C T. Lin

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

The temperature and magnetic field dependences of the magnetization and critical current density of Fe1.04Te0.6Se0.4 single crystals have been investigated, and the flux pinning mechanism has been analysed. The normalized pinning force (fp Fp/F p,max) vs. h(H/Hirr) curves, are scaled using the Dew-Hughes theory, f(h) ≈ hp(1 - h)q with p 1.35 and q 3.06. The angular dependence of the resistivity under different magnetic fields shows a dip-like structure, below the superconducting transition temperature. The anisotropic value of 2 was obtained using Ginzburg-Landau theory.


Magnetic Field Induced Discontinuous Spin Reorientation In Erfeo3 Single Crystal, Hui Shen, Zhenxiang Cheng, Fang Hong, Jiayue Xu, Shujuan Yuan, Shixun Cao, Xiaolin Wang Jan 2013

Magnetic Field Induced Discontinuous Spin Reorientation In Erfeo3 Single Crystal, Hui Shen, Zhenxiang Cheng, Fang Hong, Jiayue Xu, Shujuan Yuan, Shixun Cao, Xiaolin Wang

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

The spin reorientation of ErFeO3 that spontaneously occurs at low temperature has been previously determined to be a process involving the continuous rotation of Fe3þ spins. In this work, the dynamic process of spin reorientation in ErFeO3 single crystal has been investigated by AC susceptibility measurements at various frequencies and static magnetic fields. Interestingly, two completely discontinuous steps are induced by a relatively large static magnetic field due to the variation in the magnetic anisotropy during this process. It provides deeper insights into the intriguing magnetic exchange interactions which dominate the sophisticated magnetic phase transitions in the orthoferrite systems.


Exact Asymptotic Behavior Of Magnetic Stripe Domain Arrays, Tom H. Johansen, Alexey V. Pan, Yuri M. Galperin Jan 2013

Exact Asymptotic Behavior Of Magnetic Stripe Domain Arrays, Tom H. Johansen, Alexey V. Pan, Yuri M. Galperin

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

The classical problem of magnetic stripe domain behavior in films and plates with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is addressed. Exact analytical results are derived for the stripe domain widths as a function of applied perpendicular field H, in the regime where the domain period becomes large. The stripe period diverges as (H-c - H)(-1/2), where H-c is the critical (infinite period) field, an exact result confirming a previous conjecture. The magnetization approaches saturation as (H-c - H)(1/2), a behavior that compares excellently with experimental data obtained for a 4-mu m thick ferrite garnet film. The exact analytical solution provides a new …


Investigation Of The Critical Behavior In Mn0.94nb 0.06coge Alloy By Using The Field Dependence Of Magnetic Entropy Change, J C. Debnath, P Shamba, A M. Strydom, Jianli Wang, S X. Dou Jan 2013

Investigation Of The Critical Behavior In Mn0.94nb 0.06coge Alloy By Using The Field Dependence Of Magnetic Entropy Change, J C. Debnath, P Shamba, A M. Strydom, Jianli Wang, S X. Dou

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

The critical behaviour of Mn0.94Nb0.06CoGe alloy around the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition was studied based on the field dependence on magnetic entropy change. By using the obtained exponents, the modified Arrott plot is consistent with that by using conventional method. These critical exponents are confirmed by the Widom scaling relation. Based on these critical exponents, the magnetization, field and temperature data around Tc collapse into two curves obeying the single scaling equation MðH; e)¼ebf6(H/ebþc). The calculated critical exponents not only obey the scaling theory but also anastomose the deduced results from the Kouvel-Fisher method [J. S. Kouvel and M. E. Fisher, …


Thermo-Magnetic Stability Of Superconducting Films Controlled By Nano-Morphology, V V. Yurchenko, K Ilin, J M. Meckbach, M Siegel, A J. Qviller, Y M. Galperin, Tom H. Johansen Jan 2013

Thermo-Magnetic Stability Of Superconducting Films Controlled By Nano-Morphology, V V. Yurchenko, K Ilin, J M. Meckbach, M Siegel, A J. Qviller, Y M. Galperin, Tom H. Johansen

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

Appearance of dendritic magnetic flux avalanches in superconducting films, which are associated with thermo-magnetic instability (TMI), very often indicates serious limitations for the ultimate performance of superconducting devices made of type-II superconducting thin films. We demonstrate that the stability can be controlled by a thorough adjustment of samples morphology at nano-scale, which affects internal material parameters. By this, the metal coating, commonly used as for stabilization, becomes redundant. Most importantly, we directly show by the mean of magneto-optical imaging that introduction of nano-scaled disorder dramatically changes the mode of magnetic flux propagation in the superconductors, from uniform motion of individual …

Enhancing Superconducting Properties Of Mgb2 Pellets By Addition Of Amorphous Magnetic Ni-Co-B Nanoparticles, Mislav Mustapic, Josip Horvat, Md Shahriar Hossain, Zeljko Skoko, S X. Dou

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

Amorphous magnetic Ni-Co-B nanoparticles with an average size of 5 nm were added to precursor powders of MgB2 superconductor. The preparation procedure for MgB2 pellets was optimized for obtaining the best critical current density (Jc) at elevated magnetic fields. Addition of Ni-Co-B decreases the Jc for heat treatment of precursor powders at 650 ° C. Heat treatments at 770 ° C and higher improve Jc at 20 and 5 K. This improvement occurs at both temperatures through the increase of the effective connectivity between MgB2 crystals. Vortex pinning was enhanced at 5 K, but not at 20 K. Ni-Co-B nanoparticles …
