Abstract:
Electron spin resonance spectra have been studied in partially crystallized films of La(1-x)Na(x)MnO(3) (x = 0.16) in the vicinity of the para- to ferromagnetic transition. The objects of investigation were obtained by magnetron sputtering on polycrystalline Al(2)O(3) substrates held at different temperatures. It is shown that, in a regime where the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases coexist, the resonance conditions for one phase strongly depend on the parameters of the other phase. As a result, the resonance field of the paramagnetic phase becomes dependent on the shape of the sample, the saturation magnetization and the fraction of the ferromagnetic phase. A simple model is developed to predict the character of the changes in the resonance field of the paramagnetic phase upon the nucleation of the ferromagnetic phase.

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.
Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
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.
