180-degree spin flips dominate magnetic fluctuations in partially frustrated amorphous iron-zirconium (a-Fe92Zr8) during transverse spin freezing. This finding is supported by selective excitation double Mössbauer spectroscopy and muon spin relaxation data.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Magnetism

Background:

  • Partially frustrated magnetic systems present complex behaviors during phase transitions.
  • Understanding fluctuation mechanisms is crucial for characterizing magnetic ordering.
  • Amorphous alloys like a-Fe92Zr8 offer unique properties due to their disordered structure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the primary mechanism driving fluctuations at the transverse spin freezing transition in a-Fe92Zr8.
  • To validate experimental findings using complementary techniques.
  • To elucidate the nature of magnetic relaxation in amorphous frustrated magnets.

Main Methods:

  • Selective excitation double Mössbauer spectroscopy was employed to probe spin dynamics.
  • Zero-field muon spin relaxation (μSR) measurements were conducted.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis focused on comparing spectral line shapes and relaxation rates.

    • Main Results:

    • 180-degree spin flips were identified as the dominant fluctuation mechanism.
    • Experimental data showed excellent agreement between Mössbauer and μSR results.
    • Alternative relaxation models were effectively ruled out by the data.

    Conclusions:

    • The study definitively establishes 180-degree spin flips as the key fluctuation mode in this system.
    • The combined spectroscopic and relaxation data provide robust evidence for the identified mechanism.
    • This work advances the understanding of magnetic transitions in amorphous frustrated materials.
