AbstractImpedance spectroscopy (IS) is a powerful characterization methodology for a wide range of electric materials such as ceramics, ferroelectrics, ion conductors, piezoelectrics, etc. In this paper, an extension of IS to the case of ferromagnetic materials is presented. In particular, the resolution of the most common magnetization processes (domain wall bulging, domain wall displacement and spin rotation) is analyzed. IS is applied to ferrites and giant magnetoimpedance in amorphous wires.

ABSTRACTImpedance spectroscopy has been widely used to analyze polarization phenomena in dielectric, ferroelectric and solid electrolyte materials. In this paper, we review its extension to ferromagnetic materials, and discuss its application to the case of irreversible domain wall displacements which lead to ferromagnetic hysteresis phenomena.

Real and imaginary components of the impedance response on Co68.1Fe4.4B15Si12.5 amorphous as-cast wires were measured in the 100 Hz-100 kHz frequency range and 0.05–30 mA (RMS) current amplitude, at axial dc fields of 0 and 4800 A/m. From these data, plots of circumferential complex permeability as a function of circular field, as well as magnetization curves, were derived. Results are analyzed in terms equivalent circuits, which allows a resolution of domain wall and rotational contributions to the circumferential magnetization processes.

Abstract We present a mechanism for realizing hybrid inflation using two axion fields with a purely non-perturbatively generated scalar potential. The structure of the scalar potential is highly constrained by the discrete shift symmetries of the axions. We show that harmonic hybrid inflation generates observationally viable slow-roll inflation for a wide range of initial conditions. This is possible while accommodating certain UV arguments favoring constraints f ≲ MP and ∆ϕ60 ≲ MP on the axion periodicity and slow-roll field range, respectively. We discuss controlled ℤ2-symmetry breaking of the adjacent axion vacua as a means of avoiding cosmological domain wall problems. Including a minimal form of ℤ2-symmetry breaking into the minimally tuned setup leads to a prediction of primordial tensor modes with the tensor-to-scalar ratio in the range 10−4 ≲ r ≲ 0.01, directly accessible to upcoming CMB observations. Finally, we outline several avenues towards realizing harmonic hybrid inflation in type IIB string theory.

It is well known that Barkhausen noise will be induced in a coil which has a ferromagnetic core, if the core is subjected to any considerable degree of varying or alternating magnetization due to current flowing in the coil or due to a magnetizing field from some external source. This effect is ascribed to irreversible magnetization processes, such as irreversible domain wall movements, and has been investigated in considerable detail. It has recently been utilized to estimate the amount of the contribution of such irreversible processes to the total magnetization (Tebble, Skidmore, and Corner 1950).
