Magnetic hysteresis loops below 300 mK on single crystals of the Mn(II) - nitronyl nitroxide free radical chain (Mn(hfac)_2({it R})-3MLNN) present abrupt reversals of the magnetization, or avalanches. We show that, below 200 mK, the avalanches occur at a constant field, independent of the sample and so propose that this avalanche field is an intrinsic property. We compare this field to the energy barrier existing in the sample and conclude that the avalanches are provoked by multiple nucleation of domain-walls along the chains. The different avalanche field observed in the zero field cooled magnetization curves suggests that the avalanche mechanisms are related to the competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order in this compound.

Molecular systems are materials that intersect with many different promising fields such as organic/molecular electronics and spintronics, organic magnetism and quantum computing1-7. Particularly, magnetism in organic materials is very intriguing: th
e possibility to realize long-range magnetic order in completely metal-free systems means that magnetic moments are coupled to useful properties of organic materials, such as optical transparency, low-cost fabrication, and flexible chemical design. Magnetic ordering in light elements, such as nitrogen and carbon, has been studied in magnetic-edged graphene nanoribbons8 and bilayers9, and polymers10 while in organic thin films most of the investigations show this effect as due to the proximity of light atoms to heavy metals, impurities, or vacancies11. Purely organic radicals are molecules that carry one unpaired electron giving rise to a permanent magnetic moment, in the complete absence of metal ions.12-14 Inspired by their tremendous potential, here we investigate thin films of an exceptionally chemically stable Blatter radical derivative15 by using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD)16-18. Here we observe XMCD at the nitrogen K-edge. Our results show a magnetic ordering different than in the single crystals and calculations indicate, although weak, a long-range intermolecular coupling. We anticipate our work to be a starting point for investigating and modelling magnetic behaviour in purely organic thin films. The tuning of the magnetic properties by the molecular arrangement in organic films is an exciting perspective towards revealing new properties and applications.
We perform a theoretical study, using {it ab initio} total energy density-functional calculations, of the effects of disorder on the $Mn-Mn$ exchange interactions for $Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs$ diluted semiconductors. For a 128 atoms supercell, we consider a v
ariety of configurations with 2, 3 and 4 Mn atoms, which correspond to concentrations of 3.1%, 4.7%, and 6.3%, respectively. In this way, the disorder is intrinsically considered in the calculations. Using a Heisenberg Hamiltonian to map the magnetic excitations, and {it ab initio} total energy calculations, we obtain the effective $JMn$, from first ($n=1$) all the way up to sixth ($n=6$) neighbors. Calculated results show a clear dependence in the magnitudes of the $JMn$ with the Mn concentration $x$. Also, configurational disorder and/or clustering effects lead to large dispersions in the Mn-Mn exchange interactions, in the case of fixed Mn concentration. Moreover, theoretical results for the ground-state total energies for several configurations indicate the importance of a proper consideration of disorder in treating temperature and annealing effects.
We report the magnetic structure of room-temperature-stable, monoclinic Mn$_3$As$_2$ at 3 K and 250 K using neutron powder diffraction measurements. From magnetometry data, the Curie temperature of Mn$_3$As$_2$ was confirmed to be around 270 K. Calor
imetry analysis showed the presence of another transition at 225 K. At 270 K, Mn$_3$As$_2$ undergoes a $k = 0$ ferrimagnetic ordering in the magnetic space group $C2/m$ (#12.58) with Mn moments pointing along $b$. Below 225 K, there is a canting of Mn moments in the $ac$ plane which produces a multi-$k$ non-collinear magnetic structure in space group $C2/c$ (#15.85). The components of Mn moments along $b$ follow $k=0$ ordering and the components along $a$ and $c$ have $k = [0 0 frac{1}{2}]$ propagation vector. The change in the magnetic ground state with temperature provides a deeper insight into the factors that govern magnetic ordering in Mn-As compounds.
Skyrmions can be stabilized in magnetic systems with broken inversion symmetry and chiral interactions, such as Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI). Further, compensation of magnetic moments in ferrimagnetic materials can significantly reduce ma
gnetic dipolar interactions, which tend to favor large skyrmions. Tuning DMI is essential to control skyrmion properties, with symmetry breaking at interfaces offering the greatest flexibility. However, in contrast to the ferromagnet case, few studies have investigated interfacial DMI in ferrimagnets. Here we present a systematic study of DMI in ferrimagnetic CoGd films by Brillouin light scattering. We demonstrate the ability to control DMI by the CoGd cap layer composition, the stack symmetry and the ferrimagnetic layer thickness. The DMI thickness dependence confirms its interfacial nature. In addition, magnetic force microscopy reveals the ability to tune DMI in a range that stabilizes sub-100 nm skyrmions at room temperature in zero field. Our work opens new paths for controlling interfacial DMI in ferrimagnets to nucleate and manipulate skyrmions.
The tetragonal ferrimagnetic Mn$_3$Ga exhibits a wide range of intriguing magnetic properties. Here, we report the emergence of topologically nontrivial nodal lines in the absence of spin orbit coupling (SOC) which are protected by both mirror and $C
_{4z}$ rotational symmetries. In the presence of SOC we demonstrate that the doubly degenerate nontrivial crossing points evolve into $C_{4z}$-protected Weyl nodes with chiral charge of $pm$2. Furthermore, we have considered the experimentally reported noncollinear ferrimagnetic structure, where the magnetic moment of the Mn$_I$ atom (on the Mn-Ga plane) is tilted by an angle $theta$ with respect to the crystallographic $c$ axis. The evolution of the Weyl nodes with $theta$ reveals that the double Weyl nodes split into a pair of charge-1 Weyl nodes whose separation can be tuned by the magnetic orientation in the noncollinear ferrimagnetic structure.
