Ferromagnetism

Ferromagnetism

Materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt consist of magnetic domains, within which the magnetic dipoles are arranged parallel to each other. The magnetic dipoles are rigidly aligned in the same direction within a domain by quantum mechanical coupling among the atoms. This coupling is so strong that even thermal agitation at room temperature cannot break it. The result is that each domain has a net dipole moment. However, some materials have weaker coupling, and are ferromagnetic at lower...

Paramagnetism

Paramagnetism

Paramagnets are materials with unpaired electrons that possess a finite magnetic moment. In the absence of a magnetic field, these moments are randomly oriented, and thus the net moment is zero. Under an external field, a torque acting on the moments tends to align them along the field's direction. However, the random thermal motion of electrons produces a torque opposite to the external field and tries to disorient the moments. These two competing effects align only a few moments along the...

Diamagnetism

Diamagnetism

Materials consisting of paired electrons have zero net magnetic moments. However, when these materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Such materials are called diamagnets. Diamagnetism is the response of the diamagnets when placed in an external magnetic field.
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 Field due to Moving Charges

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges

A stationary charge creates and interacts with the electric field, while a moving charge creates a magnetic field.
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability

In linear magnetic materials, like paramagnets and diamagnets, magnetization is proportional to the magnetic field intensity. The constant of proportionality, a dimensionless number, is called magnetic susceptibility. The value of the susceptibility depends on the type of material.
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...

Magnetic Field Of A Current Loop

Magnetic Field Of A Current Loop

Consider a circular loop with a radius a, that carries a current I. The magnetic field due to the current at an arbitrary point P along the axis of the loop can be calculated using the Biot-Savart law.

Background:

Magnetization precession is typically short-lived due to viscous damping.
This damping limits the use of magnets in information processing.
Overcoming damping is crucial for advancing magnetic data storage.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate the recall of magnetization-precession phase beyond the damping timescale.
To investigate the persistence of magnetic coherence in Y3Fe5O12 films.
To explore new possibilities for magnetic information storage and processing.

Main Methods:

Two-colour microwave pump-probe experiments on Y3Fe5O12 microstructured films.
Time-resolved magnetization state tomography.
Analysis of magnetization correlation decay.

Main Results:

Magnetization-precession phase recall was achieved at timescales exceeding damping by two orders of magnitude.
Persistent magnetic coherence was confirmed via double-exponential decay of magnetization correlation.
A feedback effect involving coherent coupling was identified as the cause.

Conclusions:

Persistent magnetic coherence can be achieved in magnetic systems, defying conventional damping limitations.
This finding opens avenues for utilizing magnetic systems in coherent information storage and processing.
The discovered feedback mechanism offers a new paradigm for spintronic devices.
