We synthesized polycrystals of cobaltite spinels LiCo2O4, ZnCo2O4, and their mixed crystal (Li1-xZnx)Co2O4, and performed the magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements. LiCo2O4 with the Weiss temperature ΘW ~ -114 K exhibits an antiferromagnetic transition at TN ~ 30 K. On the other hand, ZnCo2O4 with the Weiss temperature ΘW ~ -90 K exhibits the absence of magnetic phase transition down to low temperature (2 K), indicating the presence of strong frustration. Taking into account the absence of magnetic phase transition in the orbital-degenerate ZnCo2O4, it is suggested that the antiferromagnetic transition in the charge-orbital-degenerate LiCo2O4 is driven by the charge degree of freedom. Furthermore, the magnetic properties of (Li1-xZnx)Co2O4 suggest that the antiferromagnetic transition in LiCo2O4 is sensitively suppressed by diluting the charge degeneracy.

ABSTRACTWe report the formation of the CsCI FeSi phase in Fe/FeSi multilayers with constant Fe thickness and varying FeSi layer thickness. The crystallographic and magnetic properties of this metastable FeSi phase are determined in thick (62 nm) epitaxial silicide layers with ion channeling, X-ray diffraction and Mossbauer spectroscopy measurements which clearly show that the CsCl phase becomes increasingly magnetic upon cooling down to 4.2 K. These results indicate that the transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic coupling observed at low temperatures in such multilayers is controlled by a magnetic phase transition in the FeSi spacer layer.

ABSTRACTPrBa2Cu2NbO8 (PrBCNO) is an insulating analog to the YB2CU3O7 (YBCO) system, which is interesting as a thin film buffer layer in YBCO/PrBCNO/YBCO tunnel junctions as well as a potential high Tc superconductor if proper doping could be achieved. PrBCNO has a similar structure to PrBCO, with NbO2 planes replacing the CuO chains. Single phase polycrystalline samples of RBCNO have been synthesized with R = La, Pr and Nd. Attempts to synthesize this structure with the smaller ions Y and Gd have been unsuccessful. The PrBCNO samples show a signature in the magnetization of a magnetic ordering at 12 K. No such magnetic phase transition is observed down to 2 K in the NdBCNO material.

We studied the magnetic properties of the ring of a Josephson junctions in a magnetic field at different capacitance of superconducting regions. We found that the capacitance which is the characteristic of the size of the superconducting region, does not change qualitatively the magnetic properties of the ring of junctions. At half-quantum of the flux through the ring there appears the magnetic phase transition which is characterised by the singularity in magnetization and in sucseptibility. At the transition there is the trapping of the one quantum of the flux by the ring. The interpretation of experiments, describing the inverse kinetic inductance as a function of a flux per plaquette of a lattice of two-dimensional arrays of the Josephson junctions is proposed. The new singularities in this dependency are predicted.
