The magnetization ground states (MGSs) for a nanosized Co hollow sphere, with the outer radius, R < 50 nm, have been studied numerically by micromagnetic simulation using object oriented micromagnetic framework (OOMMF). In addition to the originally known single domain and vortex-curling states, a three dimensional onion state with a corresponding analytical expression is proposed and confirmed as one of the ground states. Two phase diagrams, one for a single crystalline and the other for a polycrystalline nanosphere, are obtained for the three MGSs. The result reveals that the magnetic anisotropy has a significant effect on the phase line in the diagrams. The finite temperature effect and the blocking properties of the nanosphere for the magnetization reversal are discussed.

Magnetic properties with chains of hcp Co hollow spheres have been studied. The diameter of the spheres ranges from 500 to 800 nm, with a typical shell thickness of about 60 nm. The shell is polycrystalline with an average crystallite size of 20 to 35 nm. The blocking temperature determined by the zero-field-cooling MZFC(T) measurement at H = 90 Oe is about 325 K. The corresponding effective anisotropy is determined as, Keff = 4.6*10^4 J/m^3. In addition, the blocking temperature and the effective anisotropy determined by the analysis on HC(T) are 395 K and 5.7*10^4 J/m^3, respectively. The experimentally determined anisotropy is smaller by one order of magnitude than the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the bulk hcp Co, which is about 3 to 5*10^5 J/m^3. A further analysis on HC(T) shows that the magnetization reversal follows a nucleation rotational mode with an effective switching volume, V* = 2.3*10^3 nm^3. The corresponding effective diameter is calculated as 16.4 nm. It is slightly larger than the coherence length of Co, about 15 nm. The possible reason for the much reduced magnetic anisotropy is discussed briefly.
We investigate the ground state magnetization plateaus appearing in spin 1/2 polymerized Heisenberg chains under external magnetic fields. The associated fractional quantization scenario and the exponents which characterize the opening of gapful excitations are analyzed by means of abelian bosonization methods. Our conclusions are fully supported by the extrapolated results obtained from Lanczos diagonalizations of finite systems.
We analyzed the ground state of the array of magnetic particles (magnetic dots) which form a two-dimensional triangular lattice, and magnetic moment of which is perpendicular to the plane of the lattice, in the presence of external magnetic field. In the small fields long range dipole-dipole interaction leads to the specific antiferromagnetic order, where two out of six nearest neighbors of the particle have the same direction of magnetization moment and four - the opposite one. It is shown that magnetization process in such array of particles as opposed to the rectangular lattices results from the formation of the magnetized topological defects (dislocations) in the shape of the domain walls.
Magnetic susceptibility and the magnetization process have been measured in green polycrystal. In this compound, the magnetic manganese ion exists as Mn$^{5+}$ in a tetrahedral environment, and thus the magnetic interaction can be described by an S=1 Heisenberg model. The ground state was found to be a spin singlet with an excitation gap $Delta/k_{rm B}=11.2$ K. Magnetization plateaus were observed at zero and at half of the saturation magnetization. These results indicate that the present system can be represented by a coupled antiferromagnetic dimer model.
The ground state and magnetization process of the mixed spin-(1,1/2) Ising diamond chain is exactly solved by employing the generalized decoration-iteration mapping transformation and the transfer-matrix method. The decoration-iteration transformation is first used in order to establish a rigorous mapping equivalence with the corresponding spin-1 Blume-Emery-Griffiths chain in a non-zero magnetic field, which is subsequently exactly treated within the framework of the transfer-matrix technique. It is shown that the ground-state phase diagram includes just four different ground states and the low-temperature magnetization curve may exhibit an intermediate plateau precisely at one half of the saturation magnetization. Our rigorous results disprove recent Monte Carlo simulations of Zihua Xin et al. [Z. Xin, S. Chen, C. Zhang, J. Magn. Magn. Mater. 324 (2012) 3704], which imply an existence of the other magnetization plateaus at 0.283 and 0.426 of the saturation magnetization.
