The paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the magnetic properties of magnetic lubricating oils. It shows oil magnetization curves in the initial state and after tests in the boundary friction mode. Oil properties were measured by an original magnetometer with Hall sensors. It has been established that triboeffects change oil composition and structure and decrease its magnetization. The results will help determine the optimal operating conditions of magnetic oils while maintaining their magnetic and lubricating properties.

The crystal structures and electronic and magnetic properties of conducting molecular magnets developed by our group are reviewed from the viewpoints of our two current strategies for increasing the efficiency of the π–d interaction. (EDTDM)2 FeBr 4 is composed of quasi-one-dimensional donor sheets sandwiched between magnetic anion sheets. The ground state of the donor layer changes from the insulator state to the metallic state by the application of pressure. When it is near to the insulator–metal phase boundary pressure, the magnetic order of the anion spins considerably affects the transport properties of the donor layer. The crystal structure of ( EDO – TTFBr 2)2 FeX 4 ( X = Cl , Br ) is characterized by strong intermolecular halogen–halogen contacts between the organic donor and FeX 4 anion molecules. The presence of the magnetic order of the Fe 3+ spins and relatively high magnetic order transition temperature proves the role of the halogen–halogen contacts as exchange interaction paths.

Magnetic properties of the half-filled Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice, which is a simple model of graphene, are studied using the variational cluster approximation (VCA). We found that the critical interaction strength of a magnetic transition is slightly lower than that of the nonmagnetic metal-to-insulator transition and the magnetic order parameter is already nonnegligible at the latter transition point. Thus, a semi-metallic state becomes a magnetic insulator as the interaction strength increases, and a spin liquid state characterized by a Mott insulator without spontaneously broken spatial or spin symmetry, or a state very close to that is not realized in this system. Both the magnetic and nonmagnetic metal-to-insulator transitions are of the second-order. Our results agree with recent large scale quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations.

Recent discoveries of various novel iron oxides and hydrides, which become stable at very high pressure and temperature, are extremely important for geoscience. In this paper, we report the results of an investigation on the electronic structure and magnetic properties of the hydride FeO 2 H x , using density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) calculations. An increase in the hydrogen concentration resulted in the destruction of dimeric oxygen pairs and, hence, a specific band structure of FeO 2 with strongly hybridized Fe- t 2 g -O- p z anti-bonding molecular orbitals, which led to a metallic state with the Fe ions at nearly 3+. Increasing the H concentration resulted in effective mass enhancement growth which indicated an increase in the magnetic moment localization. The calculated static momentum-resolved spin susceptibility demonstrated that an incommensurate antiferromagnetic (AFM) order was expected for FeO 2 , whereas strong ferromagnetic (FM) fluctuations were observed for FeO 2 H.

<p>Materials that combine the useful properties of magnetic and semiconducting behaviours are sought for new and developing applications in electronics. In this thesis experimental studies of the properties of disordered thin films of several potentially magnetic semiconducting materials are presented. Previous research on the diluted magnetic semiconductor GaMnN is reviewed as an introduction to a study of GaMnN thin films grown with an ion-assisted deposition technique. Several complementary compositional and structural analysis techniques are used to determine that films can be grown with as much as 18 at. % Mn content and that contain no impurity phases, as are often detected in single crystalline GaMnN preparations with high Mn concentrations. The effects of varying Mn contents on the resistive, optical and magnetic properties of the thin films are investigated. The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of thin films of the potential impurity phase MnN have also been investigated and compared with band structure calculations. Recent predictions that the rare earth nitrides may have extremely useful electronic properties have been almost untested in the literature. A procedure for growing rare earth nitride thin films and capping them to protect from reaction with water vapour allows their resistivity, structural and magnetic properties to be established. The results on GdN, SmN, ErN and DyN support the recent predictions, and a more thorough study on GdN reveals that this material is a ferromagnetic semiconductor below 69 K.</p>

ABSTRACTThe magnetic properties of nanophase exchange enhanced RE-Fe-B based alloys ribbons prepared by melt spinning are presented and discussed. The alloy systems investigated include NdyFe94−yB6 and PryFe94−yB6, for y within the range 6-20 at%, and the data are compared in the context of the larger anisotropy field for the Pr2Fe14B phase in comparison with Nd2Fe14B. Experimental studies are also reported for nanophase (Nd-Pr)- Fe-B alloys with various proportions of Nd:Pr, to investigate the increase in coercivity of NdFeB by partial substitution of Nd by Pr, and for (Nd, Pr)-(Fe-Co)-B-based systems, to study the degree to which the remanence enhancement can be maintained for alloys in which Co substitutes for Fe to increase the thermal stability.

Cobalt-based amorphous alloys, in particular CoFeBSi, have been widely used to study the response of ac-impedance to the external dc magnetic field, i.e., the so-called Giant Magneto Impedance (GMI) effect. The utility of CoFeBSi in different applications such as field-sensitive sensors is known and practiced. Despite the wealth of experimental studies on GMI properties of CoFeBSi alloys, no computational approach has yet been addressed on electronic and magnetic properties of these systems at nanoscales. In this study, we have computed electronic and magnetic properties of amorphous CoFeBSi alloys using a combined Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) approach. MD is used to provide a physically realistic sampling of different atomic configurations while the properties such as dipole moments and magnetic susceptibilities are computed using DFT. Our study shows a wide spectrum of electronic as well as magnetic properties for nanoclusters of different sizes having implications for rational design of Co-based ferromagnetic alloys.

Molecule-based spintronics devices (MSDs) are highly promising candidates for discovering advanced logic and memory computer units. An advanced MSD will require the placement of paramagnetic molecules between the two ferromagnetic (FM) electrodes. Due to extreme fabrication challenges, only a couple of experimental studies could be performed to understand the effect of magnetic molecules on the overall magnetic and transport properties of MSDs. To date, theoretical studies mainly focused on charge and spin transport aspects of MSDs; there is a dearth of knowledge about the effect of magnetic molecules on the magnetic properties of MSDs. This paper investigates the effect of magnetic molecules, with a net spin, on the magnetic properties of 2D MSDs via Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Our MC simulations encompass a wide range of MSDs that can be realized by establishing different kinds of magnetic interactions between molecules and FM electrodes at different temperatures. The MC simulations show that ambient thermal energy strongly influenced the molecular coupling effect on the MSD. We studied the nature and strength of molecule couplings (FM and antiferromagnetic) with the two electrodes on the magnetization, specific heat and magnetic susceptibility of MSDs. For the case when the nature of molecule interaction was FM with one electrode and antiferromagnetic with another electrode the overall magnetization shifted toward zero. In this case, the effect of molecules was also a strong function of the nature and strength of direct coupling between FM electrodes. In the case when molecules make opposite magnetic couplings with the two FM electrodes, the MSD model used for MC studies resembled with the magnetic tunnel junction based MSD. The experimental magnetic studies on these devices are in agreement with our theoretical MC simulations results. Our MC simulations will enable the fundamental understanding and designing of a wide range of novel spintronics devices utilizing a variety of molecules, nanoclusters and quantum dots as the device elements.
