Abstract:
Magnetic domain structures and crystal structures of double perovskite Ba(2)FeMoO(6) were studied using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dark-field imaging and high-resolution TEM. Two types of magnetic domain structure were observed below the Curie temperature: an ordinary 180 degrees ferromagnetic domain structure and a typical maze-pattern structure. In regions where maze-pattern structures were observed, antiphase boundaries were found by dark-field imaging and high-resolution TEM and develop densely in Fe/Mo-ordering domains, suggesting that Fe/Mo antisite defects affect magnetic domain structures.

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
