Macroscopic Theory of Charged Domain Walls in Ferroelectrics

Maxim Gureev

This thesis consists of a theoretical analysis of charged domain walls in ferroelectrics based on Landau theory and the theory of semiconductors. First, the internal structure of a 180-degree charged domain wall is considered. It is shown that different re ...

Magnetization Reversal Dynamics in Ferromagnetic Semiconductors

Liza Herrera Diez

This thesis is dedicated to the study of the magnetization reversal dynamics in compressively strained (Ga,Mn)As and differently functionalized (Ga,Mn)As materials. In the first part the domain wall dynamics of pure (Ga,Mn)As/GaAs materials is in the focus ...

mu SR investigation of magnetism and magnetoelectric coupling in Cu2OSeO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Helmuth Berger

A detailed zero-and transverse-field muon spin rotation investigation of magnetism and the magnetoelectric coupling in Cu2OSeO3 is reported. An internal magnetic field B-int(T = 0) = 85.37(25) mT was found, in agreement with a ferrimagnetic state below T-c ...

Large Electric-Field Induced Strain in BiFeO3 Ceramics

Dragan Damjanovic, Marija Kosec

Large bipolar strain of up to 0.36% (peak-to-peak value) was measured in BiFeO3 ceramics at low frequency (0.1 Hz) and large amplitude (140 kV/cm) of the driving field. This strain is comparable to that achievable in highly efficient morphotropic phase bou ...

Two-dimensional square-lattice S=1/2 antiferromagnet Cu(pz)(2)(ClO4)(2)

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Nikolay Tsyrulin

We present an experimental study of the two-dimensional S=1/2 square-lattice antiferromagnet Cu(pz)(2)(ClO4)(2) (pz denotes pyrazine-C4H4N2) using specific-heat measurements, neutron diffraction, and cold-neutron spectroscopy. The magnetic field dependence ...

High-Field Magnetization of the Distorted Spin Frustration System Ni-5(TeO3)(4)Br-2

Helmuth Berger

We performed high-field magnetization measurements, M(H), on the Ni-5(TeO3)(4)Br-2 by using a pulse magnet. The Ni2+ ions (S = 1) of this compound form a two dimensional distorted spin frustrated system (distorted kagome lattice), and undergo a Neel transi ...

Strong ferroelectric domain-wall pinning in BiFeO3 ceramics

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Marija Kosec

We have studied the polarization-electric-field hysteresis, the dielectric permittivity dispersion, the piezoelectric properties, the electric-field-induced strain, and the interrelations between these properties for bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) ceramics. The ...

Ferromagnetism in Co-7(TeO3)(4)Br-6: A byproduct of complex antiferromagnetic order and single-ion anisotropy

Ivica Zivkovic, Helmuth Berger

Pronounced anisotropy of magnetic properties and complex magnetic order of a new oxi-halide compound Co-7(TeO3)(4)Br-6 has been investigated by powder and single-crystal neutron-diffraction, magnetization, and ac susceptibility techniques. Anisotropy of su ...

Field-dependent dielectric and magnetic properties in multiferroic CdCr2S4

Helmuth Berger

Based on the results of field-dependent dielectric and magnetic measurements, we observe several interesting behaviors and phase transitions in this geometrically frustrated spinel system CdCr2S4. (1) A glassy dipolar state occurs near T-C similar to 85 K, ...
