RESUMO

We present high field magnetoresistance, Hall effect and thermopower measurements in the Ising-type ferromagnetic superconductor UCoGe. A magnetic field is applied along the easy magnetization c axis of the orthorhombic crystal. In the different experimental probes, we observed five successive anomalies at H≈4, 9, 12, 16, and 21 T. Magnetic quantum oscillations were detected both in resistivity and thermoelectric power. At most of the anomalies, significant changes of the oscillation frequencies and the effective masses have been observed, indicating successive Fermi surface instabilities induced by the strong magnetic polarization under a magnetic field.

RESUMO

A detailed experimental investigation of the effects giving rise to the magnetic energy level structure in the vicinity of the level crossing (LC) at low temperature is reported for the open antiferromagnetic molecular ring Cr8Zn. The study is conducted by means of thermodynamic techniques (torque magnetometry, magnetization and specific heat measurements) and microscopic techniques (nuclear magnetic resonance line width, nuclear spin lattice, and spin-spin relaxation measurements). The experimental results are shown to be in excellent agreement with theoretical calculations based on a minimal spin model Hamiltonian, which includes a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The first ground state level crossing at µ0Hc1 = 2.15 T is found to be an almost true LC while the second LC at µ0Hc2 = 6.95 T has an anti-crossing gap of Δ12 = 0.19 K. In addition, both NMR and specific heat measurements show the presence of a level anti-crossing between excited states at µ0H = 4.5 T as predicted by the theory. In all cases, the fit of the experimental data is improved by introducing a distribution of the isotropic exchange couplings (J), i.e., using a J strain model. The peaks at the first and second LCs in the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate are dominated by inelastic scattering and a value of Γ âˆ¼ 10(10) rad/s is inferred for the life time broadening of the excited state of the open ring, due to spin phonon interaction. A loss of NMR signal (wipe-out effect) is observed for the first time at LC and is explained by the enhancement of the spin-spin relaxation rate due to the inelastic scattering.

RESUMO

The potential spin-triplet heavy-fermion superconductor UTe2 exhibits signatures of multiple distinct superconducting phases. For field aligned along the b axis, a metamagnetic transition occurs at µ0Hm ≈ 35 T. It is associated with magnetic fluctuations that may be beneficial for the field-reinforced superconductivity surviving up to Hm. Once the field is tilted away from the b towards the c axis, a reentrant superconducting phase emerges just above Hm. In order to better understand this remarkably field-resistant superconducting phase, we conducted magnetic-torque and magnetotransport measurements in pulsed magnetic fields. We determine the record-breaking upper critical field of µ0Hc2 ≈ 73 T and its evolution with angle. Furthermore, the normal-state Hall effect experiences a drastic suppression indicative of a reduced band polarization above Hm in the angular range around 30° caused by a partial compensation between the applied field and an exchange field. This promotes the Jaccarino-Peter effect as a likely mechanism for the reentrant superconductivity above Hm.

RESUMO

In-depth investigations of the low energy electronic structures of mononuclear lanthanide complexes, including single molecule magnets, are challenging at the best of times. For magnetically coupled polynuclear systems, the task seems well nigh impossible. However, without detailed understanding of the electronic structure, there is no hope of understanding their static and dynamic magnetic properties in detail. We have been interested in assessing which techniques are most appropriate for studying lanthanide single-molecule magnets. Here we present a wide ranging theoretical and experimental study of the archetypal polynuclear lanthanide single-molecule magnet Dy3 and derive the simplest model to describe the results from each experimental method, including high-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance and far-infrared spectroscopies and cantilever torque magnetometry. We conclude that a combination of these methods together with ab initio calculations is required to arrive at a full understanding of the properties of this complex, and potentially of other magnetically coupled lanthanide complexes.
