The results show that ECC media can reduce the coercivities of perpendicular magnetic recording media FePt-MgO. The ECC media with granular-type soft layers have weaker exchange couplings between magnetic grains and the magnetization process, for ECC media of this kind mainly follow the Stoner Wohlfarth model.展开更多

Interaction domains derived from strong exchange coupling interactions between hard and soft magnetic grains were imaged using magnetic force microscopy （MFM）. Maximum remanence, intrinsic coercivity, and maximum energy product values were obtained in the ribbons annealed at 700℃ for 15 min, which were composed of Pr2（Fe, Co）14B, α-（Fe, Co）, and slight Pr2（Fe, CO）17 phases. Although Jr, Hci, and （Bn）max decreased gradually with further increase of annealing time, it is emphasized that comparatively high Jr and Hci and （BH）max were obtained in a wide annealing time period of 15 to 360 min. The shape of initial magnetization curves and hysteresis loops change as a function of annealing time, indicating different magnetization reversal routes, which can be fully explained by the corresponding microstructure.展开更多

It was found that the magnetic properties varied with the thickness of Cr interlayer, especially the values of saturation magnetization Ms and the coercivity Hc fluctuated periodically with the thickness of Cr interlayer. STM images revealed that the variation of coercivity Hc was attributed to the microstructure change of SmCo layer influenced by Cr interlayer, and the variation of Ms was related to interlayer exchange coupling.展开更多

Here three important parameters are discussed for FM/AF bilayers, i.e. interracial bilinear exchange coupling J1, interracial biquadratic （spin-flop） exchange coupling J2 and antiferromagnetic layer thickness tAF. The results show that both the occurrence and the variety of the exchange bias strongly depend on the above parameters. More importantly, the small spin-flop exchange coupling may result in an exchange bias without the interracial bilinear exchange coupling. However, in general, the spin-flop exchange coupling cannot result in the exchange bias. The corresponding critical parameters in which the exchange bias will occur or approach saturation are also presented.展开更多

Based on the model, in which the antiferromagnetism is treated with an Ising mean field theory and the rotational anisotropy is assumed to be related to the field created by the moment induced on the antiferromagnetic layer next to the ferromagnetic layer, we can explain why in experiments for ferromag- netism （FM）/antiferromagntism 1 （AFM1）/antiferromagnetism 2 （AFM2） systems the thickness-dependent rotational anisotropy value is non-monotonic, i.e. it reaches a minimum for this system at a specific thickness of the first anti- ferromagnetic layer and exhibits oscillatory behaviour. In addition, we find that the temperature-dependent rotational anisotropy value is in good agreement with the experimental result.展开更多

The exchange coupling coefficient Alas between the hard and soft ,layers varies from 1.8 x10-6 erg/cm to 0.45 x 10-6 erg/cm, while the soft layer thickness increases from 2 nm to 10 nm. As the exchange coupling decreases, the squareness of the loop gradually deteriorates, both pinning and coercive fields rise up monotonically, and the nucleation field goes down. On the other hand, an increment of the soft layer thickness leads to a significant drop of the nucleation field, the deterioration of the hysteresis loop squareness, and an increase of the remanence. The simulated loops based on the 3D and 1D methods are consistent with each other and in good agreement with the measured loops for Sm-Co/a-Fe multilayers.展开更多

Depending on the thickness of the spacing ruthenium(Ru) layer, the observed interlayer exchange coupling can be either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic. The Hexwere studied by measuring the magnetization hysteresis loops in the temperature range from 100 K to 700 K as well as the theoretical calculation of the-Jiec. It is found that the interlayer coupling in the multilayers is very sensitive to the thickness of Ru and temperature. The Hexexhibits either a linear or a non-linear dependence on the temperature for different thickness of Ru. Furthermore, our SAF multilayers show a high thermal stability even up to 600 K(Hex= 3.19 kOe,-Jiec= 1.97 erg/cm~2 for tRu=0.6 nm, the unit 1 Oe = 79.5775 A·m-1), which was higher than the previous studies.展开更多

The...The microstructures and magnetic properties of nanoparticles, each composed of an antiferromagnetic （AFM） manganese-oxide shell and a ferromagnetic-like core of manganese-gallium （MnGa） compounds, are studied. The coreshell structure is confirmed by transmission electron microscope （TEM）. The ferromagnetic-like core contains three kinds of MnGa binary compounds, i.e., ferrimagnetic （FI） DO22-type MnaGa, ferromagnetic （FM） Mn8Gas, and AFM DO19-type Mn3Ga, of which the first two correspond respectively to a hard magnetic phase and to a soft one. Decoupling effect between these two phases is found at low temperature, which weakens gradually with increasing temperature and disappears above 200 K. The exchange bias （EB） effect is observed simultaneously, which is caused by the exchange coupling between the AFM shell and FM-like core. A large coercivity of 6.96 kOe （1Oe = 79.5775 A·m^-1） and a maximum EB value of 0.45 kOe are achieved at 300 K and 200 K respectively.展开更多

The magnetic orbital analysis reveals that the antiferromagnetic coupling for complex 2 is due to the antibonding s*-orbital overlap between 22x-yd(Cu) and p* (NO) orbitals. Also, spin population and atomic charge distribution analysis suggest that for AFS of complex 2 the antiferromagnetic coupling between the radical ligands and the copper(II) ion originates from the spin delocalization induced by the a electron transfer from p*(NO) to 22x-yd(Cu) orbital.展开更多

The influences of Ga addition and annealing conditions on the magnetic properties and microstructure of the nanocrystalline alloys were systematically investigated. After being annealed at 620℃ for 20 min, the J r and H ci increased from 0.85 T and 582.6 kA/m for Ga-free sample to 0.97 T and 734.6 kA/m for the x = 0.9 sample, respectively. The （BH） max for the x = 0.9 sample increased by about 40% from 96.3 to 135.5 kJ/m 3 compared with that of the Ga-free one. The significant improvement of magnetic properties originated from the refinement of grains in the samples by introducing Ga, which led to a stronger exchange coupling between the neighboring grains in comparison with that in Ga-free samples. The microstructure and magnetic properties of the samples depended strongly on annealing parameters, while the sensitivity of micro-structure to annealing conditions could be significantly suppressed by the addition of Ga element.展开更多

X-ray diffraction data indicated that the phase transition temperature of FePt based alloys from disordered face-centered-cubic to ordered face-centered-tetragonal cubic decreases with the increase in Pr concentration. Pr plays the role of a grain refiner and it can enhance the exchange coupling between soft magnetic phase and hard magnetic phase. The results indicate that the replacement of Fe by Pr can significantly improve the remanence and coercivity of the Fe60.5Pt39.5 alloy. These results can be explained on the basis of phase transformation and microstructure. Both the remanence ratio and coercivity of the FePt based alloy as a function of the Pr content are increased by the optimum addition of 0.5 at.% Pr.展开更多

Co/FeMn/Co thin films with 0.4 nm Pt spacer layer inserted into the Co/FeMn and FeMn/Co interface respectively were deposited by means of magnetron sputtering. The two interfaces upon and beneath the FeMn layer show distinct behaviors before and after the Pt spacer inserted. There is a remarkable shrink of the interracial uncompensated spins within the FeMn bottom interracial monolayers, whereas a relaxation of the pinning strength of the FeMn interfacial spins along the out-of-plane direction occurs at the top in- terface. XRD analysis indicates the Pt layer upon the FeMn layer forms an fcc （002） texture, implying the magnetic discrepancy between the top and bottom FeMn interfaces has crystalline structural origins.展开更多

The results indicated that the transition temperature from ordered FCT to disordered FCC phase decreased with increasing Nd concentration, but for alloys quenched rapidly from the γ phase region into ice-water, it increased with increasing Nd. The Nd element not only effectively reduced the grain size of the ordered phase but also decreased the degree of the ordered phase and refined the grains of the FCC matrix phase. The remanence ratio and coereivity of the FePt based alloy as a function of the Nd content had maximum values, respectively.展开更多

Based on the model, in which the antiferromagnetism is treated with an Ising mean field theory and the rotational anisotropy is assumed to be related to the field created by the moment induced on the antiferromagnetic layer next to the ferromagnetic layer, we can explain why in experiments for ferromag- netism （FM）/antiferromagntism 1 （AFM1）/antiferromagnetism 2 （AFM2） systems the thickness-dependent rotational anisotropy value is non-monotonic, i.e. it reaches a minimum for this system at a specific thickness of the first anti- ferromagnetic layer and exhibits oscillatory behaviour.

文摘In this work, we experimentally investigated the thermal stability of the interlayer exchange coupling field(Hex) and strength(-Jiec) in synthetic antiferromagnetic(SAF) structure of [Pt(0.6)/Co(0.6)]2/Ru(tRu)/[Co(0.6)/Pt(0.6)]4multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy. Depending on the thickness of the spacing ruthenium(Ru) layer, the observed interlayer exchange coupling can be either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic. The Hexwere studied by measuring the magnetization hysteresis loops in the temperature range from 100 K to 700 K as well as the theoretical calculation of the-Jiec. It is found that the interlayer coupling in the multilayers is very sensitive to the thickness of Ru and temperature. The Hexexhibits either a linear or a non-linear dependence on the temperature for different thickness of Ru. Furthermore, our SAF multilayers show a high thermal stability even up to 600 K(Hex= 3.19 kOe,-Jiec= 1.97 erg/cm~2 for tRu=0.6 nm, the unit 1 Oe = 79.5775 A·m-1), which was higher than the previous studies.

文摘The microstructures and magnetic properties of nanoparticles, each composed of an antiferromagnetic （AFM） manganese-oxide shell and a ferromagnetic-like core of manganese-gallium （MnGa） compounds, are studied. The coreshell structure is confirmed by transmission electron microscope （TEM）. The ferromagnetic-like core contains three kinds of MnGa binary compounds, i.e., ferrimagnetic （FI） DO22-type MnaGa, ferromagnetic （FM） Mn8Gas, and AFM DO19-type Mn3Ga, of which the first two correspond respectively to a hard magnetic phase and to a soft one. Decoupling effect between these two phases is found at low temperature, which weakens gradually with increasing temperature and disappears above 200 K. The exchange bias （EB） effect is observed simultaneously, which is caused by the exchange coupling between the AFM shell and FM-like core. A large coercivity of 6.96 kOe （1Oe = 79.5775 A·m^-1） and a maximum EB value of 0.45 kOe are achieved at 300 K and 200 K respectively.
文摘Nitronyl nitroxide radical 1, NIT (4, 4, 5, 5-tetramethyl-4, 5-dihydro-1H-imidazolyl-1- oxyl-3-oxide) and copper(II) chloride complexes with nitronyl nitroxide 2, [Cu(NITPh)2Cl2] (NITPh = 2-phenyl-4, 4, 5, 5-tetramethyl-imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) were studied with density functional theory (DFT). The magnetic orbital analysis reveals that the antiferromagnetic coupling for complex 2 is due to the antibonding s*-orbital overlap between 22x-yd(Cu) and p* (NO) orbitals. Also, spin population and atomic charge distribution analysis suggest that for AFS of complex 2 the antiferromagnetic coupling between the radical ligands and the copper(II) ion originates from the spin delocalization induced by the a electron transfer from p*(NO) to 22x-yd(Cu) orbital.

文摘We investigate the modulation of magnetic anisotropy of thulium iron garnet(TmIG)films by interfaced Bi2Se3 thin films.High quality epitaxial growth of Bi2Se3 films has been achieved by molecular beam epitaxy on TmIG films.By the method of ferromagnetic resonance,we find that the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA)of TmIG can be greatly strengthened by the adjacent Bi2Se3 layer.Moreover,the competition between topological surface states and thickness dependent bulk states of Bi2Se3 gives rise to the modulation of PMA of the Bi2Se3/TmIG heterostructures.The interfacial interaction can be attributed to the enhanced exchange coupling between Fe^3+ions of TmIG mediated by topological surface electrons of Bi2Se3.
文摘Nd 12.3 Fe 81.7 x Ga x B 6.0 （x = 0-1.8） ribbons were prepared by melt spinning at 22 m/s and subsequent annealing treatment. The influences of Ga addition and annealing conditions on the magnetic properties and microstructure of the nanocrystalline alloys were systematically investigated. After being annealed at 620℃ for 20 min, the J r and H ci increased from 0.85 T and 582.6 kA/m for Ga-free sample to 0.97 T and 734.6 kA/m for the x = 0.9 sample, respectively. The （BH） max for the x = 0.9 sample increased by about 40% from 96.3 to 135.5 kJ/m 3 compared with that of the Ga-free one. The significant improvement of magnetic properties originated from the refinement of grains in the samples by introducing Ga, which led to a stronger exchange coupling between the neighboring grains in comparison with that in Ga-free samples. The microstructure and magnetic properties of the samples depended strongly on annealing parameters, while the sensitivity of micro-structure to annealing conditions could be significantly suppressed by the addition of Ga element.

文摘The effects of Pr on the structure and magnetic properties of PrxFe60.5-xPt39.5 alloys （x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5） were investigated. X-ray diffraction data indicated that the phase transition temperature of FePt based alloys from disordered face-centered-cubic to ordered face-centered-tetragonal cubic decreases with the increase in Pr concentration. Pr plays the role of a grain refiner and it can enhance the exchange coupling between soft magnetic phase and hard magnetic phase. The results indicate that the replacement of Fe by Pr can significantly improve the remanence and coercivity of the Fe60.5Pt39.5 alloy. These results can be explained on the basis of phase transformation and microstructure. Both the remanence ratio and coercivity of the FePt based alloy as a function of the Pr content are increased by the optimum addition of 0.5 at.% Pr.

文摘A new strategy to chemically synthesize exchange-coupled SmCo_(5)/Sm_(2) Co_(17) nanocomposites by in situ decomposition of SmCox(5<x<8.5)is reported in this work.Our synthesis starts with the fabrication of Co/Sm_(2) O_(3)(Sm to Co atomic ratio of Sn/Co=1:4.2),which can be reduced into 40-nm SmCo_(5) single crystal nanoparticles by Ca under the protection of CaO,showing a high coercivity of 2.85 T and saturation magnetization(Ms)of 0.0671 A·m^(2)·g^(-1).By changing the Sm/Co to 1:4.5,1:4.8 and 1:5.2,SmCo_(5)/Sm_(2) Co_(17) nanocomposites with different proportions were acquired using the same process.Owing to the in situ decomposition of SmCo_(x) intermediate,the small size(both of their size less than 10 nm)and uniform phase distribution were achieved in our nanocomposites.Thus,the as-prepared nanocomposites display a strong exchange-coupling interaction.As a consequence,SMCo_(5)/Sm_(2)Co_(17)(Sm/Co=1:5.2)exhibits a coercivity of 1.23 T and enhanced M7 T(magnetization at 7 T)of 0.0812 A·m^(2)·g^(-1),increasing by 21%than pure SmCo_(5).Our synthesis provides a new protocol to prepare exchange-coupled high-performance nanocomposites.

文摘A numerical study reports that the zero-field skyrmions in Fe Ge thin films are stabilized when a Fe Ge layer is exchange coupled to a single-domain Ni layer,which has been magnetized perpendicularly.Due to the small thickness,an easy-plane anisotropy in the Fe Ge layer is taken into account,and the skyrmion-crystal state is favored to appear for low anisotropies and intermediate Fe Ge/Ni interlayer exchange couplings,and finally transformed from a labyrinth-like and into an out-ofplane uniform state for the large couplings or into an in-plane state for the high anisotropies.Furthermore,the maximum skyrmion charge number is bigger for the periodic and fixed boundary conditions with an out-of-plane magnetization;on the contrary,the Bloch-type skyrmions can be frozen and stabilized for the larger couplings on the fixed boundary with an in-plane magnetization,similar to the experimental results of the magnetic-field-induced skyrmions.Finally,the skyrmion charge number and diameter both decrease if the nonmagnetic defects exist,and the skyrmion centers are prone to being captured by defect sites.This work evidences that the ensembles of homochiral skyrmions stabilized in the multilayers fabricated by well-established technologies present a roadmap to design new classes of the materials that can host skyrmions.

文摘The exchange coupling at the ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic （FM/AFM） interface is influenced by both the magnetic structure and the crystalline micro-structure. Co/FeMn/Co thin films with 0.4 nm Pt spacer layer inserted into the Co/FeMn and FeMn/Co interface respectively were deposited by means of magnetron sputtering. The two interfaces upon and beneath the FeMn layer show distinct behaviors before and after the Pt spacer inserted. There is a remarkable shrink of the interracial uncompensated spins within the FeMn bottom interracial monolayers, whereas a relaxation of the pinning strength of the FeMn interfacial spins along the out-of-plane direction occurs at the top in- terface. XRD analysis indicates the Pt layer upon the FeMn layer forms an fcc （002） texture, implying the magnetic discrepancy between the top and bottom FeMn interfaces has crystalline structural origins.

文摘A gas migration controlling equation was formulated based on the characteristics of the dual pore–fracture media of coal mass and in consideration of the matrix exchange between pores and fractures.A model of permeability dynamic evolution was established by analyzing the variation in effective stress during gas drainage and the action mechanism of the effect of coal matrix desorption on porosity and fracture in the coal body.A coupling model can then be obtained to characterize gas compressibility and coal deformability under the gas–solid coupling of loading coal.In addition,a 3D model of boreholes was established and solved for gas drainage based on the relevant physical parameters of real mines.The comparison and analysis results for the law of gas migration and the evolution of coal body permeability around the boreholes before and after gas extraction between the dual media and the single-seepage field models can provide a theoretical basis for further research on the action mechanism of gas drainage.

文摘The effect of Nd addition on the structure, phase transformation and magnetic properties of FePt based alloys was investigated. The results indicated that the transition temperature from ordered FCT to disordered FCC phase decreased with increasing Nd concentration, but for alloys quenched rapidly from the γ phase region into ice-water, it increased with increasing Nd. The Nd element not only effectively reduced the grain size of the ordered phase but also decreased the degree of the ordered phase and refined the grains of the FCC matrix phase. The remanence ratio and coereivity of the FePt based alloy as a function of the Nd content had maximum values, respectively.
