Abstract:
We study from tempered Monte Carlo simulations the magnetic phase diagram of a textured dipolar Ising model on a face centered cubic lattice. The Ising coupling of the model follow the dipole-dipole interaction. The Ising axes are distributed with a uniaxial symmetry along the [Formula: see text] direction with a Gaussian probability density of the polar angles. This distribution provides a quenched disorder realization of the dipolar Ising model making a continuous link between the parallel axes dipoles and the random axes dipole models. As expected the phase diagram presents three distinctive phases: paramagnetic, ferromagnetic and spin-glass. A quasi long range ferromagnetic and a reentrant spin-glass phases are obtained in the vicinity of the ferromagnetic spin-glass line. This model provides a way to predict the magnetic phases of magnetic nanoparticles supracrystals in terms of the texturation of the easy axes distribution in the strong anisotropy limit.

Thermal Sigmatropic Reactions: Overview
Sigmatropic shifts are classified based on an order term [i, j ], where i and j indicate the number of atoms across which each end of the σ bond migrates. Below are examples of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift in 1,5-hexadiene, referred...
