Transverse Magnetism Of The Diluted Antiferromagnet Fe1-Xmgxbr2 (X=0.15), Christian Binek Nov 2001

Transverse Magnetism Of The Diluted Antiferromagnet Fe1-Xmgxbr2 (X=0.15), Christian Binek

Christian Binek Publications

Neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements of the diluted crystal Fe1−xMgxBr2 (xnot, vert, similar0.15) were performed. Successive phase transitions at zero applied field at TN1not, vert, similar12 K and TN2not, vert, similar10 K were found. A previous transverse term ferromagnetic moment was detected just below TN2.


Kinetics Of Random-Field Induced Domains In The Two-Dimensional Ising Antiferromagnet Rb2co0.85mg0.15f4, Christian Binek Jan 1998

Kinetics Of Random-Field Induced Domains In The Two-Dimensional Ising Antiferromagnet Rb2co0.85mg0.15f4, Christian Binek

Christian Binek Publications

The previous kinetics of the two-dimensional diluted Ising antiferromagnet Rb2Co0.85Mg0.15F4 is studied via the temporal relaxation of the field-induced magnetization after field cooling (FC) and zero-field cooling (ZFC), respectively, to T < TN = 75.2K. After FC different non-exponential decay laws indicate a crossover from domain reorientation to wall rearrangement at decreasing T. After ZFC rapidly saturating magnetization of naturally grown domain walls precedes the slow random-field-controlled disordering process.


Random-Field Critical And Spin-Flop Behavior Of The Anisotropic Heisenberg Antiferromagnet Fe0.9mg0.1br2 In Axial Magnetic Fields, Christian Binek Feb 1994

Random-Field Critical And Spin-Flop Behavior Of The Anisotropic Heisenberg Antiferromagnet Fe0.9mg0.1br2 In Axial Magnetic Fields, Christian Binek

Christian Binek Publications

Faraday optical measurements on the dilute hexagonal antiferromagnet Fe0.85Mg0.15Br2 in an external axial field reveal a spin-flop phase line ending at a multicritical point (Tm=8.1 K, Hm=1050 kA m-1) and crossover from random-exchange to random-field Ising criticality with an exponent Phi =1.40+or-0.04 in the vicinity of TN=11.1 K. Cusp-like behaviour of the specific heat at TN is discussed in view of recent Monte Carlo results.
