Magnetization and magnetic phase diagrams of a spin-1/2 ferrimagnetic diamond chain at low temperature

We used the Jordan-Wigner transform and the invariant eigenoperator method to study the magnetic phase diagram and the magnetization curve of the spin-1/2 alternating ferrimagnetic diamond chain in an external magnetic field at finite temperature.The magnetization versus external magnetic field curve exhibits a 1/3 magnetization plateau at absolute zero and finite temperatures,and the width of the 1/3 magnetization plateau was modulated by tuning the temperature and the exchange interactions.Three critical magnetic field intensities H_(CB),H_(CE)and H_(CS) were obtained,in which the H_(CB) and H_(CE)correspond to the appearance and disappearance of the 1/3 magnetization plateau,respectively,and the higher H_(CS) correspond to the appearance of fully polarized magnetization plateau of the system.The energies of elementary excitation hω_(σ,k)(σ=1,2,3)present the extrema of zero at the three critical magnetic fields at 0 K,i.e.,[hω_(3,k)(H_(CB)]_(min)=0,[hω_(2,k)(H_(CE)]_(max)=0 and[hω_(2,k)(H_(CS)]_(min)=0,and the magnetic phase diagram of magnetic field versus different exchange interactions at 0 K was established by the above relationships.According to the relationships between the system’s magnetization curve at finite temperatures and the critical magnetic field intensities,the magnetic field-temperature phase diagram was drawn.It was observed that if the magnetic phase diagram shows a three-phase critical point,which is intersected by the ferrimagnetic phase,the ferrimagnetic plateau phase,and the Luttinger liquid phase,the disappearance of the 1/3 magnetization plateau would inevitably occur.However,the 1/3 magnetization plateau would not disappear without the three-phase critical point.The appearance of the 1/3 magnetization plateau in the low temperature region is the macroscopic manifestations of quantum effect.

MAGNETIC PHASE DIAGRAM OF SmMn_2(Ge_(1-x)Si_x)_2 SYSTEM

The magnetic phase diagram (x,T) of the SmMn2(Ge1-xSix)2 system has been studied by susceptibility and magnetization measurement. With increasing silicon concentration the temperature region of ferromagnetic ordering decreases on the phaae diagram.

The Magnetic Anisotropy and Complete Phase Diagram of CuFeO2 Measured in a Pulsed High Magnetic Field up to 75 T

The magnetization behavior of a CuFeO2 single crystal grown by the floating zone technique is investigated with a pulsed high magnetic field. We observe a series of field-induced multi-step-like transitions with hysteresis, of which the critical magnetic fields are temperature-dependent and show anisotropy. By using a pulsed high magnetic field up to 75 T, the magnetization behavior shows that the critical transition magnetic fields of spin- flip/flop shift to lower field regions with an increase in temperature. According to the magnetization curves, a complete magnetic phase diagram is depicted.

Detailed magnetic study on the formato-bridged MOFs with anion-tunable magnetic properties

Detailed studies of the structures, magnetic properties and photodimerization of a series of formato-bridged MOFs with the general formula M2(HCOO)3(4,4'-bpe)3(H20)3(X) (4,4'-bpe = 4,4'-bipyridylethylene, M = Mn (l-X-), X- = CIO4, NO3, BF4, I-, Br-; M = Co (2-X-), X- = C104, NO3; M = Zn (3-X-), X- = NO3) were reported. Careful magnetic measurements on an ori- ented single crystal of 1-C104 determined the spin-flop magnetic phase diagram and some intrinsic parameters, such as the in- tralayer coupling d, the anisotropy field HA and the exchange field HE. Different anions can remarkably tune the magnetic properties of l-X-, especially the critical fields of the spin-flop transition. Compound 2-C104 remained paramagnetic down to 2K.

Metamagnetic transitions and anomalous magnetoresistance in EuAg4As2 crystals

In this work,we systematically studied the magnetic and transport properties of EuAg4As2 single crystals.It was found that the two antiferromagnetic transitions(TN1=10 K and TN2=15 K)were driven to lower temperatures by an applied magnetic field.Below TN1,two successive metamagnetic transitions were observed when a magnetic field was applied in the ab plane(H//abplane).For both H//ab and H//c,EuAg4As2 showed a positive,unexpectedly large magnetoresistance(up to 202%)in lower magnetic fields below TN1,and a large negative magnetoresistance(up to-78%)at high fields/intermediate temperatures,thus presenting potential applications in magnetic sensors.Finally,the magnetic phase diagrams of EuAg4As2 were constructed for both H//ab and H//c using the resistivity and magnetisation data.
