Abstract

The observations of domain structure in single crystal ferromagnetic oxide films near phase transitions induced by temperature and by magnetic field have been carried out. The domain structure has been observed by means of the Faraday effect and by light diffraction. The following phase transition points have been studied in details: paramagnet-ferromagnet transition, Morin transition, compensation point and continuous spin reorientation points. It has been shown that in all considered cases dipolar interactions have significant influence on phase transitions and, in particular, on the magnetization distribution near the phase transition points.

Phase diagrams of uniaxial magnetic films in magnetic field
1997, Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
This paper presents the results of a theoretical study of inhomogeneous magnetic states (a stripe domain structure and a hexagonal bubble lattice) that exist in uniaxial magnetic films with an arbitrary deviation of the easy magnetization axis from the normal n|e_z to the developed surface, in the vicinity of lines of reorientational phase transitions, induced by a magnetic field H = H_⊥e_x + H_|e_z. For the reorientational phase transitions a form of the state diagram on the (H_|,H_⊥) plane is determined. The effects of magnetization fluctuations on the results obtained are discussed.
Chapter 4 Field induced phase transitions in ferrimagnets
1995, Handbook of Magnetic Materials
This chapter discusses the high magnetic field magnetization processes in ferromagnetic compounds of the f–d type—that is, in compounds consisting of rare-earth and transition metal elements of the Fe group. The processes that are connected with the variation of mutual orientation of their magnetic sublattices and that reveal themselves through characteristic kinks and jumps in magnetization curves are focused in the chapter. Magnetic symmetry of a crystal changes when the orientation of magnetic sublattices spontaneously varies. A phase transition accompanied by a change of the magnetic symmetry takes place. The phase transitions are referred to as “field induced phase transitions” (FIPT) that may be of 1st or 2nd order. FITP connected with breaking of a collinear alignment of sublattices in ferrimagnetics are also considered in the chapter. It is assumed that the magnetic anisotropy of these materials is small in the sense that the energy of a magnetic anisotropy is smaller in comparison with the energy of the exchange interaction of sublattices. The magnetic anisotropy in such materials is best manifested near a compensation point, where critical fields of transitions to a canted phase tend to zero. In this connection, H–T phase diagrams are very complicate near T_c and composed of curves of the 1st and 2nd order phase transitions and of critical, tricritical points, and others.

Critical current and the spatial distribution of magnetic flux in superconducting thin films
1991, Physica C: Superconductivity and its applications
Visual observations of the magnetic flux profile have been performed in TmBa₂Cu₃O_7−x superconducting thin films using magnetic garnet films covering the superconductor as a sensor of magnetic field. The observed changes of domain structure in the garnet film during magnetic field penetration measure the normal-flux density gradient along the film plane. The same samples are used in order to measure the critical current density J_c by means of a standard four-probe technique. A comparison between J_c and the value of the normal-flux density gradient suggests that the critical current is sustained primarily by the normal gradient in the in-plane component of flux density. It confirms that a conventional analysis ignoring flux-line curvature cannot be applied to the superconducting thin films.

1990, Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
Magnetic flux profiles in superconducting Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_x single crystals have been observed using a magnetic garnet film as a magnetic field sensor. Measurements have been performed for the “zero-field-cooled” and “field-cooled” regimes as a function of temperature and magnetic field. An analysis of the observed patterns has revealed some peculiarities in the flux trapping effects. In particular, a nonuniform magnetic structure has been directly observed in the remanent state after “field-cooled” processes.
