Abstract:
The spin dynamics of the ferromagnetic Kondo lattice CeRuPO is investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) at microwave frequencies of 1, 9.4 and 34 GHz. The measured resonance can be ascribed to a rarely observed bulk Ce(3 + ) resonance in a metallic Ce compound and can be followed below the ferromagnetic transition temperature T(C) = 14 K. At T > T(C) the interplay between the RKKY exchange interaction and the crystal electric field anisotropy determines the ESR parameters. Near T(C) the spin-relaxation rate is influenced by the critical fluctuations of the order parameter.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
