We studied the exchange coupling and decoupling occurring in a nanocomposite spin system based on a 3D Heisenberg model by means of Monte Carlo numerical computation simulation. Different from conventional micromagnetism approach which usually adopts finite elements method to compute, in a top-down way, the magnetic property of micromagnetic ensemble in micron even nanometer scale, our approach in this paper is peculiar to the structure of a complex spin lattice, i.e. two species of spins building up from single spin to cluster spins in a bottom-up way. The simulation revealed the influence of exchange coupling constant Jab, the size of cluster spins d and system reduced temperature t upon the exchange coupling and decoupling between component spin phases of a nanocomposite magnets, respectively. Smaller value of Jab, larger d and lower temperature t usually lead to the decoupling of originally exchange-coupled component phases and the occurrence of a characteristic two-stage shoulder with an inflexion on the demagnetization curve. The results reported in this paper are of, to some extent, universality and applicable to other dual-phase magnetic systems since our simulation simply focus on a pure duplex spin system rather than a specific material and all physical variables were treated in a reduced form.

The magneto-transport properties of nanocomposite C:Co (15 and 40 at.% Co) thin films are investigated. The films were grown by ion beam co-sputtering on thermally oxidized silicon substrates in the temperature range from 200 to 500 degC. Two major e ffects are reported: (i) a large anomalous Hall effect amounting to 2 mu ohm cm, and (ii) a negative magnetoresistance. Both the field-dependent resistivity and Hall resistivity curves coincide with the rescaled magnetization curves, a finding that is consistent with spin-dependent transport. These findings suggest that C:Co nanocomposites are promising candidates for carbon-based Hall sensors and spintronic devices.
Heterostructures composed of ferromagnetic layers that are mutually interacting through a nonmagnetic spacer are at the core of magnetic sensor and memory devices. In the present study, layer-resolved ferromagnetic resonance was used to investigate t he coupling between the magnetic layers of a Co/MgO/Permalloy magnetic tunnel junction. Two magnetic resonance peaks were observed for both magnetic layers, as probed at the Co and Ni L3 x-ray absorption edges, showing a strong interlayer interaction through the insulating MgO barrier. A theoretical model based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski equation was developed, including exchange coupling and spin pumping between the magnetic layers. Fits to the experimental data were carried out, both with and without a spin pumping term, and the goodness of the fit was compared using a likelihood ratio test. This rigorous statistical approach provides an unambiguous proof of the existence of interlayer coupling mediated by spin pumping.
We compute the temperature-dependent spin-wave spectrum and the magnetization for a spin system using the unified decoupling procedure for the high-order Greens functions for the exchange coupling and anisotropy, both in the classical and quantum cas e. Our approach allows us to establish a clear crossover between quantum-mechanical and classical methods by developing the classical analog of the quantum Greens function technique. The results are compared with the classical spectral density method and numerical modeling based on the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz equation and the Monte Carlo technique. As far as the critical temperature is concerned, there is a full agreement between the classical Greens functions technique and the classical spectral density method. However, the former method turns out to be more straightforward and more convenient than the latter because it avoids any emph{a priori} assumptions about the systems spectral density. The temperature-dependent exchange stiffness as a function of magnetization is investigated within different approaches.
The coupling between ferroelectric and magnetic orders in multiferroic materials and the nature of magnetoelectric (ME) effects are enduring experimental challenges. In this work, we have studied the response of magnetization to ferroelectric switchi ng in thin-film hexagonal YbFeO3, a prototypical improper multiferroic. The bulk ME decoupling and potential domain-wall ME coupling were revealed using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements with in-situ ferroelectric polarization switching. Our Landau theory analysis suggests that the bulk ME-coupled ferroelectric switching path has a higher energy barrier than that of the ME-decoupled path; this extra barrier energy is also too high to be reduced by the magneto-static energy in the process of breaking single magnetic domains into multi-domains. In addition, the reduction of magnetization around the ferroelectric domain walls predicted by the Landau theory may induce the domain-wall ME coupling in which the magnetization is correlated with the density of ferroelectric domain walls. These results provide important experimental evidence and theoretical insights into the rich possibilities of ME couplings in hexagonal ferrites, such as manipulating the magnetic states by an electric field.
In conventional exchange-bias system comprising of a bilayer film of ferromagnet (FM) and antiferromagnet (AFM), investigating the role of spin-disorder and spin-frustration inside the AFM and at the interface has been crucial in understanding the fu ndamental mechanism controlling the exchange-bias -- an effect that leads to a horizontal shift in the magnetization hysteresis response of the FM. Similarly, in the recently reported monolayer molecular exchange-bias effect requiring no AFM layer, probing magnetic-disorder at the FM/molecule interface or inside the FM layer can provide new insights into the origin of molecular exchange-bias and the associated physics. In this article, by cooling the Fe/metal-phthalocyanine devices in oscillating magnetic field, we demonstrate a characteristic temperature dependent response of exchange-bias shift and ferromagnet coercivity that is supportive of a spin-glass behavior. Here, the origin of spin-glass is attributed to the spin frustration created in the magnetic structure of the Fe layer, which was absent in our reference-Fe studies. These results highlight the strong influence of FM/molecule interface pi-d hybridization on the magnetic exchange interactions extending deeper into the FM layer.
