We explore the influence of pressure on the magnetic ground state of the heavy-fermion antiferromagnet (ferromagnet) CeAuSb 2 (CeAgSb 2 ) using first-principles calculations. The total-energy differences obtained by including the spin-orbit interactions and the on-site Coulomb potential for the Ce-derived 4f-orbitals are necessary to realize the accurate magnetic ground state of CeNMSb 2 (NM: Au and Ag). According to our results, the appearance of a new magnetic phase of CeAuSb 2 (CeAgSb 2 ) at the pressure of 2.1 GPa (3.5 GPa) is due to the rotation of the magnetic easy axis from the <001> to the <100> direction. Additionally, our data confirm that CeAgSb 2 is antiferromagnetic (AFM) above a critical pressure P c , and such a tendency is expected for CeAuSb 2 and remains to be seen. Through the spin-orbit-coupling Hamiltonian and detailed information on the occupation of individual 4f-orbitals of the Ce atom obtained by the electronic-structure calculations, we can deduce the rotation of the magnetic easy axis upon the application of pressure. According to the present and previous studies, the differences among the magnetic properties of CeNMSb 2 (NM: Cu, Ag and Au) compounds are not due to the different noble metals, but due to the subtle differences in the relative position of Ce atoms and, in turn, different occupations of Ce 4f-orbitals.

Engineering magnetic anisotropy in two-dimensional systems has enormous scientific and technological implications. The uniaxial anisotropy universally exhibited by two-dimensional magnets has only two stable spin directions, demanding 180° spin switching between states. We demonstrate a previously unobserved eightfold anisotropy in magnetic SrRuO3 monolayers by inducing a spin reorientation in (SrRuO3)1/(SrTiO3)N superlattices, in which the magnetic easy axis of Ru spins is transformed from uniaxial 〈001〉 direction (N < 3) to eightfold 〈111〉 directions (N ≥ 3). This eightfold anisotropy enables 71° and 109° spin switching in SrRuO3 monolayers, analogous to 71° and 109° polarization switching in ferroelectric BiFeO3. First-principle calculations reveal that increasing the SrTiO3 layer thickness induces an emergent correlation-driven orbital ordering, tuning spin-orbit interactions and reorienting the SrRuO3 monolayer easy axis. Our work demonstrates that correlation effects can be exploited to substantially change spin-orbit interactions, stabilizing unprecedented properties in two-dimensional magnets and opening rich opportunities for low-power, multistate device applications.

The magnetic phase diagram of Ni2Mn1+xSn1−x based ferromagnetic (FM) shape memory alloys for varied concentrations of x have been studied. With increasing concentration of Mn, the FM Curie temperature (TC) decreases, while the martensitic transition temperature (TM) goes higher. For x = 0.44 and 0.48, TM is close to the onset of ferromagnetism, and two distinct magnetic transitions are observed corresponding to the TC’s of the FM phases of martensite and austenite respectively. The isothermal magnetization at 5 K indicates saturating behaviour at high fields and the saturation moment drops linearly with x. The samples show reasonably large negative magnetoresistance around TM, however the magnitude drops with increasing x. The magnetoresistance is found to be highly irreversible with respect to the applied magnetic field and field induced arrested state is observed for all the FM samples studied around the first order martensitic transition. The present investigation clearly indicates complex magnetic ground state of the Ni2Mn1+xSn1−x samples with competing magnetic interactions.

AbstractWe present lattice calculations of the low-lying spectrum of $$^{12}$$ 12 C using a simple nucleon–nucleon interaction that is independent of spin and isospin and therefore invariant under Wigner’s SU(4) symmetry. We find strong signals for all excited states up to $$\sim 15$$ ∼ 15  MeV above the ground state, and explore the structure of each state using a large variety of $$\alpha $$ α cluster and harmonic oscillator trial states, projected onto given irreducible representations of the cubic group. We are able to verify earlier findings for the $$\alpha $$ α clustering in the Hoyle state and the second $$2^+$$ 2 + state of $$^{12}$$ 12 C. The success of these calculations to describe the full low-lying energy spectrum using spin-independent interactions suggest that either the spin-orbit interactions are somewhat weak in the $$^{12}$$ 12 C system, or the effects of $$\alpha $$ α clustering are diminishing their influence. This is in agreement with previous findings from ab initio shell model calculations.

We have measured the magnetization as a function of temperature and magnetic field in layered perovskite manganites of La2-2xSr1+2xMn2O7 single crystals (x=0.313, 0.315, 0.320, 0.350) in order to know their magnetic structures. All the present manganites exhibit magnetic transitions from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic at 76K, 107K, 120K and 125K for x=0.313, 0.315, 0.320 and 0.350, respectively. For x=0.350 and 0.320, the magnetic structure is a planar ferromagnetism whose easy axis is in the ab-plane at all temperatures below the Curie temperature. On the other hand, for x=0.315 and 0.313, the magnetic structure is an uniaxial ferromagnetism whose easy axis is along the c-axis below 85K and 66K, respectively, and a planar ferromagnetism above the temperature. From the results described above, we made the detailed magnetic phase diagram of layered perovskite manganite La2-2xSr1+2xMn2O7 (0.313≤x≤0.350).

Spin orbit torque (SOT) provides an efficient way to significantly reduce the current required for switching nanomagnets. However, SOT generated by an in-plane current cannot deterministically switch a perpendicularly polarized magnet due to symmetry reasons. On the other hand, perpendicularly polarized magnets are preferred over in-plane magnets for high-density data storage applications due to their significantly larger thermal stability in ultrascaled dimensions. Here, we show that it is possible to switch a perpendicularly polarized magnet by SOT without needing an external magnetic field. This is accomplished by engineering an anisotropy in the magnets such that the magnetic easy axis slightly tilts away from the direction, normal to the film plane. Such a tilted anisotropy breaks the symmetry of the problem and makes it possible to switch the magnet deterministically. Using a simple Ta/CoFeB/MgO/Ta heterostructure, we demonstrate reversible switching of the magnetization by reversing the polarity of the applied current. This demonstration presents a previously unidentified approach for controlling nanomagnets with SOT.

Large-scale multireference configuration-interaction (MRD-CI) calculations in an atomic-orbital (AO) basis set containing up to f functions on As and d on hydrogen are employed to study the potential-energy curves of the π2(X3Σ−, a1Δ, b1Σ+), the σ → π, and the π → σ3.1Π states; a large number of σ → σ* states; and the lowest π → s,p Rydberg series. The σ → σ* states are strongly repulsive and exhibit numerous interactions with the Rydberg members causing predissociation. The probabilities for the spin-forbidden transitions from b1Σ+and a1Δ to the X3Σ−ground state as well as the zero-field splittings of theX3Σ−and A3Π states have been evaluated by employing a variational perturbation scheme in which the zero-order wave functions are MRD-CI expansions. The perturber states are determined by their spin-orbit interactions, which are calculated by employing the Breit–Pauli one- and two-electron spin-orbit operator. The radiative lifetime of the b1Σ+ state is predicted to be 0.35 ms, whereby the dominant mechanism is deactivation to the ms = ±1 component.The parallel transition is found to be much weaker. The lifetime of a1Δ is calculated to be 22 ms, whereby the process [Formula: see text] is favored. Both b–X and a–X transitions borrow their intensity primarily from the A3Π–X3Σ− transition and, furthermore, the 1Π–a1Δ and higher 3,1Π state spin-allowed transitions. The probability for the quadrupole b–a transition is evaluated to be three orders of magnitude smaller than the b–X transition. The calculated zero-field splitting of the X3Σ− ground state amounts to 101.4 cm−1, and the fine-structure splitting between the 2, 1, and 0+ components of the A3Π state evaluated to be 544.5 and 674.4 cm−1, respectively, in good accord with experimental results; whereas the calculated Λ doubling of the0+–0− fine-structure levels of the A3Π state (35.2 cm−1 vs. 44.72 cm−1) is too small in the present treatment. The dependence of spin-orbit effects and transition probabilities on AO basis sets and relativistic corrections to the zero-order Hamiltonian are discussed, and it is concluded that lifetime calculations for spin-forbidden processes in first- and second-row molecules can be extended in a fairly straightforward manner to systems with considerable spin-orbit interactions.
