The regime of valence fluctuations, known from anomalous rare-earth systems with slow fluctuations between two different fn states, has not yet been identified by microscopic techniques at any Uranium compound. The reason may be in the predominant band character of U intermetallic compounds. Here we present U-L3 and M4 X-ray absorption spectra taken on UPd
Cd
, which is a heavy-Fermion antiferromagnet. Although it has only one type of U site, the spectra obtained in the High Energy Resolution Fluorescence Detection mode display two edges, each associated with different valence states, 5f2 and 5f3. This is strongly suggestive of slow f2 - f3 fluctuations on the timescale longer than the characteristic time of the spectroscopy technique. Unlike 4f systems in which such fluctuations lead to a destruction of magnetism due to involvement of one non-magnetic state, the f2 and f3 states in U are both possibly magnetic, allowing for the magnetic ordering in the fluctuating state. Such a new situation can bring more light into emergent phenomena observable in U systems at the verge of 5f localization.

被引用回数:0In heavy-ion accelerators used for radioactive isotope production, the accelerated beam is typically directed onto a target and then discarded in a beam dump. To make more efficient use of the beam, recycling of the beam passed through the target is proposed in the framework of the so-called energy recovery internal target (ERIT). In the ERIT system, the target is irradiated by a circulating beam, while the energy lost in the target is recovered using rf cavities. So far, such a system has been realized only for proton beams. Here, an ERIT system for heavy-ion beams is demonstrated for the first time. A major challenge is the circulation of ions with multiple atomic charge states. After passing through the target, ions rapidly reach an equilibrated charge-state distribution, independent of the initial charge state. This stochastic charge-state conversion (SCSC) leads to rapid beam-emittance growth. To mitigate this effect, we develop a method to match the closed orbits and betatron functions of different charge states at the target location, based on a scaling fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFA) lattice. We present the design of such an FFA ring and show, through 6D beam-tracking simulations, that the transverse emittance growth induced by SCSC can be significantly reduced over a practical number of turns, whereas longitudinal emittance growth remains significant and is discussed separately.

This makes the critical current asymmetric with respect to the current or the magnetic field, i.e., Josephson diode effect.

Using wide-field magneto-optic Kerr effect measurements we reveal the domain pattern evolution as a function of applied field and discuss the role of cubic anisotropy in the domain formation. Rich magnon spectra are observed in the stripe domain states, with a range of excitation conditions providing distinct spectra. The measurements are interpreted using micromagnetic simulations to provide the spatial profiles of each resonance mode. We further simulate domain patterns and resonance spectra accounting for the cubic anisotropy, with good correlation to experiment. This study highlights how noncollinear magnetic domain structures can host complex resonant behavior in a low-damping magnetic material, with potential use in future magnonic applications.

However, how the spin of the triplet pairs responds to an external magnetic field remains poorly understood. This is mainly due to the absence of suitable spin-triplet superconductors. Here, we report results of Knight-shift and ac-susceptibility measurements on UTe

Here we report experimental evidence for non-zeromagnon orbital angular momentum inside magnetic disk, by resolving the frequency splitting between magnon modes with counter-rotating wavefronts and thereby avoiding formation of azimuthal standing waves. This requires an unambiguous formulation of spin and orbital angular momenta for spin waves, which we provide in full generality taking advantage of a systematic application of quantum field theory techniques as detailed in an associated article. The results unequivocally establish magnetic dipole-dipole interactions as a magnetic-field controllable spin-orbit interaction for magnons. Our findings open a new research direction, leveraging the spectroscopic readability of angular momentum for azimuthal spin waves and other related systems.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)In the context of an ever-expanding experimental and theoretical interest in the magnetization dynamics of mesoscopic magnetic structures, both in the classical and quantum regimes, we formulate a low-energy field theory for the linear spin waves in finite and textured ferromagnets and we perform its constrained canonical quantization. The introduction of a manifestly gauge invariant Lagrangian enables a straightforward application of the Noether's theorem. Taking advantage of this in the context of a broad class of axisymmetric ferromagnets of special conceptual and experimental relevance, a general expression of the conserved and quantized spin-wave total angular momentum is rigorously derived, while separate conservation and quantization of its orbital and spin components are established for a more restricted class of uniaxial exchange ferromagnets. Further particularizing this general framework to the case of axially saturated magnetic thin disks, we develop a semi-analytic theory of the low frequency part of the exchange-dipole azimuthal spin-wave spectrum, providing a powerful theoretical platform for the analysis and interpretation of magnetic resonance experiments on magnetic microdots as further demonstrated in a joint paper.

meV) at 10 K. We discover two distinct gaps, which can be explained by introducing, respectively, easy axis and easy plane anisotropy on the two unequivalent Fe sites. We develop a refined spin Hamiltonian that accurately accounts for the dispersion of essentially all spin-wave branches across the full spectral range, except around 40 meV, where a splitting and dispersion are observed. Polarization analysis shows that the system has magnetic anisotropic fluctuations, consistent with our model. A continuum of scattering is observed above the spin wave branches and is found to principally be explained by an instrumental resolution effect. The full experimental mapping of the excitation spectrum and the refined spin Hamiltonian provides a foundation for future quantitative studies of spin waves coexisting with unconventional magnetic fluctuations in this frustrated magnet found at higher temperatures.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We theoretically investigate emergent impedance induced by domain-wall dynamics in antiferromagnets. Emergent impedance, arising from a combined action of spin-transfer torque and spinmotive force, was previously predicted and observed in spiral magnets. Here we develop a formalism for the electrical response of an antiferromagnetic domain wall under ac currents, and obtain analytical expressions for the resulting emergent impedance. We find that two dynamical modes play separate roles in the emergent impedance: Translational motion of the domain-wall center generates a contribution proportional to its velocity, analogous to that arising from the corresponding motion of a spiral magnet. Another contribution, unique to antiferromagnetic domain walls, originates from the time-dependent canting of the sublattice magnetizations localized within the moving domain wall, whose magnitude is inversely proportional to the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling constant. The competition between these two distinct contributions determines the sign and magnitude of the imaginary part of the emergent impedance at sub-resonant frequencies. Our results provide a fundamental insight into electron transport in antiferromagnets, and open avenues for novel antiferromagnet-based spintronics devices.

Despite intensive investigation of this quasi-one-dimensional material, systematic measurements and calculations of the phonon excitations in the dimerized phase have not to date been possible, leaving certain aspects of the spin-Peierls phenomenon unresolved. We perform state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) calculations to compute the electronic structure and phonon dynamics in the low-temperature dimerized phase. We also perform high-resolution neutron spectroscopy to measure the full phonon spectrum over multiple Brillouin zones. We find excellent agreement between our numerical and experimental results that extend to all measurement temperatures. Notable features of our phonon spectra include a number of steeply dispersive modes, nonmonotonic dispersion features, and specific phonon anticrossings, which we relate to the mode eigenvectors. By calculating the magnetic interactions within DFT and studying the effects of different phonon modes on the superexchange paths, we discuss the possibility of observing spinphonon hybridization effects in experiments performed both in and out of equilibrium.
