On nodes of spin-chain lattice the recurrent equations and corresponding inequal-ity conditions are obtained for calculation of local minimum of a classical Hamiltonian. Using these equa-tions for simulation of a model of 1D spin-glass an original high-performance parallel algorithm is developed. Distributions of different parameters of unperturbed spin-glass are calculated. It is analytically proved and shown by numerical calculations that the distribution of the spin-spin interaction constant in the Heisenberg nearest-neighboring Hamiltonian model as opposed to the widely used Gauss-Edwards-Anderson distribu-tion satisfies the Lévy alpha-stable distribution law which does not have variance. We have studied critical properties of spin-glass depending on the external field amplitude and have shown that even at weak external fields in the system strong frustrations arise. It is shown that frustrations have a fractal character, they are self-similar and do not disappear at decreasing of calculations area scale. After averaging over the fractal structures the mean values of polarizations of the spin-glass on the scales of external field's space-time peri-ods are obtained. Similarly, Edwards-Anderson’s ordering parameter depending on the external field ampli-tude is calculated. It is shown that the mean values of polarizations and the ordering parameter depending on the external field demonstrate phase transitions of first-order.展开更多
Single phase of Fe^3＋-doped α-Ga2-xFexO3（α-GF x O, x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4） is synthesized by treating the β-Ga2-x Fe x O3（β-GF x O） precursors at high temperatures and high pressures.

Rietveld refinements of the X-ray diffraction data show that the lattice constants increase monotonically with the increase of Fe^3＋content. Calorimetric measurements show that the temperature of the phase transition from α-GF x O to β-GF x O increases, while the associated enthalpy change decreases upon increasing Fe^3＋content. The optical energy gap deduced from the reflectance measurement is found to decrease monotonically with the increase in Fe3＋content. From the measurements of magnetic field-dependent magnetization and temperature-dependent inverse molar susceptibility, we find that the superexchange interaction between Fe^3＋ions is antiferromagnetic. Remnant magnetization is observed in the Fe^3＋-doped α-GF x O and is attributed to the spin glass in the magnetic sublattice. At high Fe^3＋doping level（x = 0.4）, two evident peaks are observed in the image part of the AC susceptibility χ ac. The frequency dependence in intensity of these two peaks as well as two spin freezing temperatures observed in the DC magnetization measurements of α-GF0.4O is suggested to be the behavior of two spin glasses.展开更多

The static and dynamic magnetizations of La1-xTbxMnO3 have been investigated. The results indicate that the spins with the short-range order are frozen into random direction at low enough temperatures which leads to the samples exhibiting the spin-glass like behavior. It is considered that the spin-glass like behavior originates from the competition between ferromagnetic double exchange among Mn3+ and Mn2+ and antiferromagnetic superex-change among Mn3+ and Mn3+,as well as Tb3+ and Tb3+.展开更多

The material has a rhombohedral lattice with the space group of R3c, and Te ions have a tetravalence state. The curves of the resistivity vs. temperature indicate that this material has the property of a metal-semiconductor transition and the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) effect. The maximum magnetoreistance ratio MR=[(0)()]/(0)H? is about 51% at 4 T for x = 0.1. Besides, a spin-glass behavior at low magnetic fields is observed in this compound.展开更多

The influence of Cr3＋ substitution for Mn3＋ on the magnetic property and charge ordering phase of La0.4Ca0.6MnO3 was studied through the measurements of X-ray diffraction （XRD）, magnetization-temperature （M-T） curves and electron spin resonance （ESR） spectra. The experimental results indicate that the mother＇s body of La0.4Ca0.6MnO3 has very complicated magnetic structure, exhibits charge ordering phase at 258 K, and shows long-range strongly correlated charge ordering-antiferromagnetism （CO-AFM） phase from 175 to 50 K. Spin glass state appears when the temperature decreases to about 41 K. When the Cr substitution amount is x = 0.06, the charge ordering phase of the mother＇s body is de-stroyed, because the Cr3＋ substitution for Mn3＋ destroys the spin order of CE-type antiferromagnetism, and thus leads to the melting of charge ordering. It is verified experimentally that the strong coupling between charge order and spin order exists in the charge order system of CE-type antiferromagnetism.展开更多
