Magnetization reversal in patterned double-vortex structures
The magnetization reversal process for micron and submicron disk-shaped dots is controlled by successive nucleation, displacement, and annihilation of a magnetic vortex. Here the reversal process for ...

Local structure and destruction of electron pathway effects on Curie temperature of B-site-substituted lanthanum manganites
A study of B-site-substituted La0.7Ca0.3Mn1–xScxO3 lanthanum manganites is presented. Substitution of Sc3+ ion for Mn3+ ion damages a path of motion of itinerant eg electrons, thus causing a weak...

The magnetization avalanches under field have been investigated at low temperature in Pr0.50Ca0.50Mn1–xNixO3 (x=0.05). In zero field, a 5% of Ni at the Mn site provokes the coexistence of three types of magnetic/structural mesoscopic domains at low temperature: ferromagnetic metallic (majority phase), pseudo-CE and CE-type (minority phase). The ultrasharp steps observed in the low-temperature isothermal magnetization and resistivity curves were investigated by neutron powder diffraction in magnetic fields up to 5  T. At 3  T an abrupt growth of ferromagnetic microclusters occurs at the expenses of the two types of antiferromagnetic orbital-ordered domains (CE and pseudo-CE regions). ©2005 American Institute of Physics
