The AC magnetic susceptibility is a fundamental method in materials science, which allows to probe the dynamic magnetic response of magnetic materials and superconductors. The LAMPS laboratory at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of the INFN hosts an AC multi-harmonic magnetometer that allows performing experiments with an AC magnetic field ranging from 0.1 to 20 Gauss and in the frequency range from 17 to 2070 Hz. A DC magnetic field from 0 to 8 T produced by a superconducting magnet can be applied, while data may be collected in the temperature range 4.2-300 K using a liquid He cryostat under different temperature cycles setups. The first seven AC magnetic multi-harmonic susceptibility components can be measured with a magnetic sensitivity of 1x10-6 emu and a temperature precision of 0.01 K. Here we will describe in detail about schematic of the magnetometer, special attention will be dedicated to the instruments control, data acquisition framework and the user-friendly LabVIEW-based software platform.

Two tetraoxolene-bridged dinuclear Dy(iii) complexes exhibit slow relaxation in ac magnetic susceptibility studies with zero-field quantum tunnelling of the magnetisation that is suppressed by the application of a dc magnetic field.

AbstractThe capacity and the dielectric loss tangent of a Gd_ x Mn_1– x Se ( x ≤ 0.2) solid solution have been measured in the frequency range 1–300 kHz without a magnetic field and in a magnetic field of 8 kOe in the temperature range 100–450 K, and the magnetic moment of the solid solution has been measured in a field of 8.6 kOe. The magnetocapacity effect and the change in the magnetocapacity sign have been observed in room temperature in the paramagnetic region. A correlation of the changes in the dielectric permittivity and the magnetic susceptibility with temperature has been revealed. The magnetocapacity is described using the model with orbital electron ordering and the Maxwell–Wagner model.

In the present work we studied the effect of the nature of the contacts, by which a weak external current is applied, in an anisotropic superconducting rectangle, on the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, density of the Cooper pairs and  (magnetic field for which the first vortices entry on the sample). The contacts are simulates by the  parameter, and the anisotropy is present in sections with different critical temperatures modeling for  function, both in the Ginzburg-Landau formalis. Also, the sample is embebbed in an external magnetic field . We established how the nature of the contacts and the presence of a weak Lorentz Force, influence the magnetic response and the vortex state of the sample.

We report on experimental studies focusing on the dynamic ac magnetic susceptibility of a ferronematic. It has been shown recently, that in the isotropic phase of a ferronematic, a weak dc bias magnetic field of a few oersteds increases the ac magnetic susceptibility. This increment vanishes irreversibly if the substance is cooled down to the nematic phase, but can be reinduced by applying the dc bias field again in the isotropic phase [Tomašovičová, N. et al. Soft Matter 2016, 12, 5780–5786]. The effect has no analogue in the neat host liquid crystal. Here, we demonstrate that by doubling the concentration of the magnetic nanoparticles, the range of the dc bias magnetic field to which the ferronematic is sensitive without saturation can be increased by about two orders of magnitude. This finding paves a way to application possibilities, such as low magnetic field sensors, or basic logical elements for information storage.

Peculiarities of penetration of electromagnetic waves through the bulk and thin film samples of the La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 manganite were investigated for the frequency range from 50 kHz to 20 MHz. Strong variations of penetration coefficient in the applied dc magnetic field were observed both for ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states. Local dynamic magnetic ordering in the paramagnetic temperature range was observed. The experimental data reveal weak dependence of electromagnetic properties on microstructure of the films. The upper frequency limit of the dynamic polaron correlations in the paramagnetic phase was estimated.

Consider a free electron gas in a confining potential and a magnetic field in arbitrary dimensions. If this gas is in thermal equilibrium with a reservoir at temperature T>0, one can study its orbital magnetic response (omitting the spin). One defines a conveniently "smeared out" magnetization M, and the corresponding magnetic susceptibility χ, which will be analyzed from a semiclassical point of view, namely when ℏ (the Planck constant) is small compared to classical actions characterizing the system. Then various regimes of temperature T are studied where M and χ can be obtained in the form of suitable asymptotic ℏ-expansions. In particular when T is of the order of ℏ, oscillations "à la de Haas-van Alphen" appear, that can be linked to the classical periodic orbits of the electronic motion.

ABSTRACTThe new high-resolution neutron powder diffractometer BT-1 at the NIST reactor has proven to be a powerful and versatile instrument in its first year of operation. With 32 detectors arranged at 5° intervals and a 12° 2θ scan range, powder diffraction patterns can be collected to 167° 2θ. There is a choice of three monochromator take-off angles (75°, 90°, and 120°) so that the peak-width minimum can be matched to the rf-spacing range that is most important for each sample; all choices have a wavelength close to 1.54 Å. Data can be collected on sample sizes ranging from 200 mg to 30 g. Temperatures of 0.3 K to 1400 K are routinely available, and a magnetic field of 7T can be applied with a superconducting magnet. Typical data collection times range from 1-12 hours depending upon sample size and desired resolution. Examples are given of a variety of materials applications.
