Magnetic anomalies observed by the Mars Global Surveyor mission are attributed to crustal remanence. SNC (Shergotty-Nakhla-Chassigny) meteorites are likely samples of the Martian crust and are amenable to mineralogical and magnetic measurements essential t ...
This thesis presents the results of a concerted effort to understand the complex array of physical properties exhibited by the BaVS3 family of materials. As a 3d1 system, BaVS3 displays a unique collection of correlation-driven phenomena, including a metal ...
A semi-empirical potential for ferromagnetic bcc iron that also models the co-linear magnetic moment of each atom, has been applied to clusters and surfaces. Surface energies of low index facets, surface relaxation and magnetic moment are calculated and co ...
Predicted by the theory, ferromagnetism is expected in Co-doped ZnO. Recently, ferromagnetism above room temperature was reported in thin films as well as in bulk samples made of cobalt-doped zinc oxide. In this study, we report the preparation of ZnO dope ...
We discuss high-field magnetic properties of the quasi two dimensional frustrated dimer spin system SrCu2(BO3)2, which is a realization of the Shastry-Sutherland spin model and shows magnetization plateaus at 1/8, 1/4 and 1/3 of the saturated magnetization ...
LaCoO3 displays two broad anomalies in the DC magnetic susceptibility chi(DC), occurring, respectively, around 50 K and 500 K. We have investigated the first of them within the 10 K < T < RT temperature range using Co K alpha(1) x-ray absorption spectrosco ...
We report electrical resistance measurements under hydrostatic (up to 0.9 GPa) and quasi-hydrostatic pressure (beyond 1 GPa) in the ferromagnetic (FM) CePd2Al2Ga Kondo-lattice compound. From the analysis of the electrical resistance data we obtained the ma ...
Using a density functional approach, we study structural and magnetic properties of small Fe-n clusters (nless than or equal to8) deposited on a MgO(100) substrate. Upon deposition, the clusters closely preserve their gas-phase structure. The magnetic mome ...
Atomic clusters were identified in the ground state of the non-equilibrium Ta phase (Frank-Kasper sigma-structure type) at 15, 120 and 293K. The evolution of the clusters with temperature leads to two phase transformations at 65 and 150K which are related ...
We have studied the evolution of the magnetic properties of monolayer-high cobalt islands on a Pt(111) surface as function of their exposure to oxygen. We observe a sequential quenching of magnetic anisotropy and magnetic moment. For minute exposures to ox ...
