トカマクプラズマにおける水素同位体混合現象をfull-fジャイロ運動論シミュレーションを用いて解析した。モデルプラズマのパラメータは、重水素(D)ペレットを水素(H)プラズマに入射した後にエネルギー閉じ込め時間スケールで水素同位体混合が発生したJETの水素同位体ペレット実験に基づいて選択した。重水素ペレット入射前後のプラズマ分布を用いて2つの数値実験を行った。どちらの場合も、炉心の乱流揺動はイオン温度勾配駆動乱流によって特徴づけられるが、後者の場合、外側の領域に捕捉電子モード乱流が存在する。前者の場合、バルクHイオンの密度分布は準定常状態に保たれ、その粒子閉じ込め時間はエネルギー閉じ込め時間よりも一桁長い。後者の場合、バルクHイオンとペレットDイオンの密度分布は、エネルギー閉じ込め時間の時間スケールで過渡的な緩和を示し、早い水素同位体混合を示す。トロイダル角運動量バランスから、水素同位体混合はトロイダル電場応力によって駆動されることがわかった。

This paper reports the systematic study on the structure, magnetic properties and magnetoelastic properties for the FeGa (001) thin films epitaxially grown on the different substrates of GaAs(001) and MgO(001) using the sputtering technique. The alloy composition dependence of effective magnetoelastic coupling coefficient B along the FeGa [110] direction indicated that the largest magnetoelastic coupling was obtained for the Fe-Ga layer with x = 30 grown on the MgO substrate. Considering the results of structural analysis and magnetization measurement, the different crystallite sizes depending on the kind of substrate may give rise to the different magnetoelastic coupling strengths between the Fe-Ga layers on the MgO and the GaAs. The magnetostriction along the FeGa [111] direction was also estimated with the assumption of plausible elastic property of Fe-Ga, and showed the values comparable to the reported value of bulk Fe-Ga. This means the large magnetostriction can be obtained even for the Fe-Ga thin films epitaxially grown not only on the GaAs(001) but also on the MgO(001). The findings in this work will give a guideline for designing spintronic applications with a Fe-Ga layer exhibiting a large magnetoelastic coupling.

It has long been suspected that magnetism could play a vital role in the phase stability of multi- component high-entropy alloys. However, the nature of the magnetic order, if any, has remained elusive. Here, by using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, we demonstrate evidence of antiferromagnetic order below 80 K and strong spin fluctuations persisting to room temperature in a single-phase face-centered cubic (fcc) CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy. Despite the chemical complexity, the magnetic structure in CrMnFeCoNi can be described as -Mn-like, with the magnetic moments confined in alternating (001) planes and pointing toward the 111 direction. Combined with first-principles calculation results, it is shown that the antiferromagnetic order and spin fluctuations help stabilized the fcc phase in CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy.

Elastic responses at the metamagnetic transition in UTe are studied at high field. The elastic anomaly becomes the strongest at the critical-end-point. Similar behavior was also observed in another metamagnet UCoAl, suggesting a universal elastic response triggered by critical magnetic fluctuations.

In resistance spot welding (RSW) of Fe and Al alloy, an intermetallic compound (IMC) is formed at the joining interface, and it is known that the joining strength of the joint decreases as the IMC becomes thicker. In this study, the convection behavior in the Al alloy melting zone of an Fe-Al alloy RSW was varied and the effect on the joint characteristics was investigated. For this study, focusing on the electromagnetic force generated in the Al alloy melting zone, the convection behavior in the Al alloy melting zone was changed by adding an external magnetic field using neodymium magnets. In-situ evaluation of the convection behavior using synchrotron radiation and cross-sectional macro-observation of the joint revealed that the addition of an external magnetic field causes a non-axisymmetric change in the convection behavior in the Al alloy melting zone, which results in the deflection of the Al alloy melting zone. The addition of an external magnetic field increases the driving force of convection and homogenizes the temperature field at the joining interface, suggesting that the IMC near the center is formed thin and uniform. Furthermore, from the cross tension test and the observation of the fracture surface of the joint after the test, it was clarified that the CTS of the joint with an external magnetic field was improved by the propagation of cracks into the Al alloy melting zone during the test.

Electrical and magnetic properties of divalent europium antiferromagnet EuTe are studied on single crystals grown from Te-flux method. Antiferromagnetism occurs at 11 K with an insulating ground state. Application of magnetic field induces a sudden resistance drop leading to a phase transition to metallic state. Energy band calculations reveal the appearance of a Fermi surface pocket with Te-5p character induced by the polarized Eu moments.

Tetrataenite (L1-FeNi) has potential for application in next-generation permanent magnets. This compound is a rare-earth-free material comprising Fe and Ni, which are abundant elements. In addition, an extremely high uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy (u) is expected for L1-FeNi because of the ordered arrangement of the elements. This study reports the magnetic properties of uniaxially oriented L1-FeNi films with island structures fabricated by a novel method involving the radio-frequency sputter deposition of FeNi alloy films onto a LaAlO(110) substrate, followed by nitrogen insertion and topotactic extraction. FeNiN(110) films are epitaxially grown on the LAO(110) plane by the nitriding and additional annealing process of the FeNi alloy films at high temperatures under ammonia gas to reduce the volume fraction of crystallographic variants. Uniaxially oriented L1-FeNi alloy films with island structures are obtained after the topotactic denitriding of the FeNiN films. The uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of the L1-FeNi films is determined from the magnetization curves and via magnetic torque measurements of the films. The obtained L1-FeNi film exhibiting a relatively high superlattice order parameter of 0.74 yielded a uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy of ~0.63 MJ/m at 300 K, as well as coercivities of 319 and 358 kA/m at 300 and 10 K, respectively. This coercivity is the highest value reported for artificial L1-FeNi to date.

-Mn-type family alloys Mn have three-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AFM) corner-shared triangular network. The antiferromagnet MnRhSi shows magnetic short-range order (SRO) over a wide temperature range of approximately 500 K above the Nel temperature = 190 K. MnCoSi has the smallest lattice parameter and the lowest in the family compounds. The quantum critical point (QCP) from AFM to the quantum paramagnetic state is expected near a cubic lattice parameter of 6.15 of MnCoSi is only 140 K, quantum critical behavior is observed in MnCoSi as the enhancement of the electronic specific heat coefficient . We study how the magnetic SRO appears in MnCoSi by using neutron scattering, SR, and physical property measurements. The experimental results show that the neutron scattering intensity of the magnetic SRO does not change much regardless of the suppressed magnetic moment in the long-range magnetic ordered state compared to those of MnRhSi. The initial asymmetry drop ratio of SR above becomes small, and the magnetic SRO temperature is suppressed to 240 K. The results suggest that the MnCoSi is close to the QCP in the Mn system.

The superconducting gap structure of UTe was determined by the thermal conductivity measurement on ultra-clean UTe single crystals. The result demonstrates the absence of nodes around the -axis, contrary to the previous study. The finding reveals that UTe is likely to be a long-sought three-dimensional strong topological superconductor.

The anisotropic magnetoelastic (ME) properties of epitaxial CoFeMnSi(CFMS) Heusler alloy thin films with thicknesses ranging from 8 to 100 nm were investigated using the strain-modulated ferromagnetic resonance (SMFMR) technique. The calculation of the first cubic magnetocrystalline (MC) constant and the two cubic ME constants and was carried out assuming the cubic symmetry of the magnetic layer. A significant negative perpendicular MC anisotropy, of the order of 10 J/m, was also observed. The investigated parameters were found to be dependent on the thickness of the magnetic layer. The thinnest magnetic layers showed the strongest cubic MC anisotropy and the weakest anisotropy of ME properties. These findings highlight the importance of considering the magnetic layer thickness when evaluating the anisotropy in the ME properties of Heusler alloy thin films.

Spintronic devices are expected to replace the recent nanoelectronic memories and sensors due to their efficiency in energy consumption and functionality with scalability. To date, spintronic devices, namely magnetoresistive junctions, employ ferromagnetic materials by storing information bits as their magnetization directions. However, in order to achieve further miniaturization with maintaining and/or improving their efficiency and functionality, new materials development is required: 1) increase in spin polarization of a ferromagnet or 2) replacement of a ferromagnet by an antiferromagnet. Antiferromagnetic materials have been used to induce an exchange bias to the neighboring ferromagnet but they have recently been found to demonstrate a 100% spin-polarized electrical current, up to THz oscillation and topological effects. In this review, the recent development of three types of antiferromagnets is summarized with offering their future perspectives towards device applications.

被引用回数:8 パーセンタイル:95.84(Physics, Multidisciplinary)In ferromagnets, electric current generally induces a transverse Hall voltage in proportion to the internal magnetization. This effect is frequently used for electrical readout of the spin up and down states. While these properties are usually not expected in antiferromagnets, recent theoretical studies predicted that non-coplanar antiferromagnetic order with finite scalar spin chirality - meaning a solid angle spanned by neighboring spins - can induce a large spontaneous Hall effect even without net magnetization or external magnetic field. This phenomenon, the spontaneous topological Hall effect, can potentially be used for the efficient electrical readout of the antiferromagnetic states, but it has not been experimentally verified due to a lack of appropriate materials hosting such magnetism. Here, we report the discovery of all-in-all-out type non-coplanar antiferromagnetic order in triangular lattice compounds CoTaS and CoNbS. These compounds are reported to host unconventionally large spontaneous Hall effect despite their vanishingly small net magnetization, and our analysis reveals that it can be explained in terms of the topological Hall effect that originates from the fictitious magnetic field associated with scalar spin chirality. These results indicate that the scalar spin chirality mechanism offers a promising route to the realisation of giant spontaneous Hall response even in compensated antiferromagnets, and highlight intercalated van der Waals magnets as a promising quasi-two-dimensional material platform to enable various nontrivial ways of electrical reading and possible writing of non-coplanar antiferromagnetic domains.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:13.39(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Muon spin rotation (SR) experiments were performed to directly investigate the temperature dependence of the short-range order or correlations of chromium spins in the paramagnetic phase of AgCrSe. The detailed investigation of the SR spectra over a wide temperature range from low to high temperatures revealed that the short-range spin correlations developed below about 184 K. It also confirmed no short-range correlations at high temperatures, which had been controversial in previous quasi-elastic neutron scattering studies. In addition, the muon spin relaxation was qualitatively changed and showed large missing asymmetry below about 89 K, where the correlation clearly implied short-range spin order. There could be a preparative phenomenon of the phase transition or an anisotropic short-range spin correlation.
