Abstract The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic crystals and moiré engineering of van der Waals materials has opened the door for devising new magnetic ground states via competing interactions in moiré superlattices. Although a suite of interesting phenomena, including multi-flavor magnetic states, noncollinear magnetic states, moiré magnon bands and magnon networks, has been predicted in twisted bilayer magnetic crystals, nontrivial magnetic ground states have yet to be realized. Here, by utilizing the stacking-dependent interlayer exchange interactions in CrI3, we demonstrate in small-twist-angle CrI3 bilayers a noncollinear magnetic ground state. It consists of antiferromagnetic (AF) and ferromagnetic (FM) domains and is a result of the competing interlayer AF coupling in the monoclinic stacking regions of the moiré superlattice and the energy cost for forming AF-FM domain walls. Above a critical twist angle of ~ 3°, the noncollinear state transitions to a collinear FM ground state. We further show that the noncollinear magnetic state can be controlled by electrical gating through the doping-dependent interlayer AF interaction. Our results demonstrate the possibility of engineering new magnetic ground states in twisted bilayer magnetic crystals, as well as gate-voltage-controllable high-density magnetic memory storage.

AbstractA recent focus of quantum spin liquid (QSL) studies is how disorder/randomness in a QSL candidate affects its true magnetic ground state. The ultimate question is whether the QSL survives disorder or the disorder leads to a “spin-liquid-like” state, such as the proposed random-singlet (RS) state. Since disorder is a standard feature of most QSL candidates, this question represents a major challenge for QSL candidates. YbMgGaO4, a triangular lattice antiferromagnet with effective spin-1/2 Yb3+ions, is an ideal system to address this question, since it shows no long-range magnetic ordering with Mg/Ga site disorder. Despite the intensive study, it remains unresolved as to whether YbMgGaO4 is a QSL or in the RS state. Here, through ultralow-temperature thermal conductivity and magnetic torque measurements, plus specific heat and DC magnetization data, we observed a residual κ0/T term and series of quantum spin state transitions in the zero temperature limit for YbMgGaO4. These observations strongly suggest that a QSL state with itinerant excitations and quantum spin fluctuations survives disorder in YbMgGaO4.

Centrosymmetric Structure

Structural optimization, magnetic ground state and electronic structure calculations of tetragonal PbMnO3have been carried out using local density approximation (LDA) implementations of density functional theory (DFT). Structural optimizations were done on tetragonal P4mm (non-centrosymmetric) and P4/mmm (centrosymmetric) structures using experimental lattice parameters and our results indicate that P4mm is more stable than P4/mmm. In order to determine the stable magnetic ground state of PbMnO3, total energies for different magnetic configurations such as nonmagnetic (NM), ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) were computed for both P4mm and P4/mmm structures. The total energy results reveal that the FM non-centrosymmetric structure is found to be the most stable magnetic ground state. The electronic band structure, density of states (DOS) and the electron localization function (ELF) were calculated for the stable FM structure. ELF revealed the distorted non-centrosymmetric structure. The band structure and DOS for the majority spins of FM PbMnO3showed no band gap at the Fermi level. However, a gap opens up at the Fermi level in minority spin channel suggesting that it could be a half-metal and a potential spintronic candidate.

In frames of a quantum computer implementation, the ordered array of magnetic dipoles nanoparticles is considered. The phase space calculated for system of dipoles, which interact through long-range magnetostatic field. The behavior of nanoarchitectures in an external magnetic field is studied. The degeneracy of the equilibrium magnetic states depending on the value of an external magnetic field and the spin excess of configurations are determined. The presence of degeneration is a classical analog of quantum superposition, and distribution of probability of magnetic state is a classical representation of such quantum phenomena as entanglement.

Provides an overview of the magnetism features of amorphous magnets of the RE–TM and RE–TM–B alloys (RE – rare earth metal, TM – transition metal, B – boron). Magnetic states in amorphous alloys, the effect of the single-ionic anisotropy of heavy rare-earth metals on local disorder and spin frustrations in an amorphous body, and some spin-reorientation transitions observed in such compounds are presented. It is shown that the identification of the spin-glass state can be achieved by detecting specific features on the field and temperature dependences of the magnetic moment and magnetic susceptibility of the sample.

In this paper, we present the study of domain structure accompanying interstate transitions in Pt/Co/Ir/Co/Pr synthetic ferrimagnet (SF) of 1.1 nm thick and 0.6 – 1.0 nm thin ferromagnetic Co layers. Variation in the thickness of the thin layer causes noticeable changes in the domain structure and mechanism of magnetization reversal revealed by MOKE (Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect) technique. Magnetization reversal includes coherent rotation of magnetization of the ferromagnetic layers, generation of magnetic nuclei, spreading of domain walls (DW), and development of areas similar with strip domains, dependently on thickness of the thin layer. Inequivalence of the direct and backward transitions between magnetic states of SF with parallel and antiparallel magnetizations was observed in sample with thin layer thicknesses 0.8 nm and 1.0 nm. Asymmetry of the transition between these states is expressed in difference fluctuation fields and shapes of reversal magnetization nucleus contributing to the correspondent forward and backward transitions. We proposed simple model based on asymmetry of Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction. This model explains competition between nucleation and domain wall propagation due to increase/decrease of the DW energy dependently on direction of the spin rotation into the DW in respect to external field.
