Abstract:
We report on a study on the spin glass (SG) anisotropy (K SG) and interfacial exchange coupling (J IF) dependent coercivity (H C) at the ferromagnet/SG interface, based on a modified Monte Carlo Metropolis algorithm. It is shown that K SG and J IF are interdependent while taking effect on different magnetic degrees of freedom and different time scales, resulting in complicated H C behaviors. By means of a micromagnetic approximation approach, we analytically explain the H C behaviors with respect to K SG and J IF. The dynamic SG surplus magnetization and the SG spin rotatability at the interface, hard to be detected experimentally, have proven to play crucial roles. This paper elucidates the weak anisotropy dependence of SG magnetic properties, and predicts that the SG features can be tunable at will by precisely controlling the magnetic parameters.

Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
