Abstract:
Precise angle-resolved magnetoresistance (ARMR) and magnetization measurements have revealed (i) strong charge transport and magnetic anisotropy and (ii) emergence of a huge number of magnetic phases in the ground state of isotopically11B-enriched single crystals of TmB12antiferromagnetic (AF) metal with fcc crystal structure and dynamic charge stripes. We analyze for the first time the angularH-φphase diagrams of AF state of Tm11B12reconstructed from experimental ARMR and magnetization data arguing that the symmetry lowering leads to the appearance of several radial phase boundaries between different phases in the AF state. It is proposed that the suppression of the indirect Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) exchange along ⟨110⟩ directions between nearest neighboring magnetic moments of Tm3+ions and subsequent redistribution of conduction electrons to quantum fluctuations of the electron density (dynamic stripes) are the main factors responsible for the anisotropy. Essential (more than 25% atT= 2 K) anisotropy of the Neel field in the (110) plane was found in Tm11B12unlike to isotropic AF-P boundary in theH-φphase diagrams of Ho11B12. Magnetoresistance components are discussed in terms of charge carrier scattering on the spin density wave, itinerant ferromagnetic nano-domains and on-site Tm3+spin fluctuations.

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...

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
