X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements of polycrystalline and nanosize TbMnO3 manganites were performed. All the compounds studied crystallize in the orthorhombic crystal structure (space group Pnma) at room temperature. Nanosize manganites were synthesized via the sol-gel method at different (800 and 900 degrees C) temperatures. The average size of the synthesized nanoparticles (from 45 to 70 nm) was estimated by x-ray diffraction and low-temperature adsorption of argon. Information about the evolution of properties of TbMnO3 with changing grain size, temperature, and magnetic field was obtained. Crystal structure parameters of nano-samples change slightly with changing nanoparticle size. Peculiarities of magnetic ordering in polycrystalline and nanosize TbMnO3 were compared. Magnetization and the Negraveel temperature corresponding to antiferromagnetic ordering of the Tb3+ sublattice decrease as the particle size is reduced. Inverse magnetic susceptibility of the nanoparticle samples deviates from the Curie-Weiss law below 50 K; this is related to the magnetic ordering of Mn3+ moments. Some peculiar anomalities related to the magnetic ordering of Tb3+ and Mn3+ sublattices were noticed in specific heat values of the nanosize samples. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

Magnetotransport Properties of Semi-Metallic Bismuth Thin Films for Flexible Sensor Applications

Yevhen Zabila, Marta Marszalek, Michal Krupinski, Arkadiusz Zarzycki, Marcin Perzanowski

Summary: This study prepared semi-metallic bismuth thin films by thermal evaporation, observing stabilization of grain size at 140 nm and continuous decrease of resistivity with increasing thickness. Annealing the films at temperatures close to the melting point of Bi led to a significant increase in magnetoresistance at room temperature and in a 7T magnetic field.

Electrical Transport and Magnetic Properties of Metal/Metal Oxide/Metal Junctions Based on Anodized Metal Oxides

Arkadiusz Zarzycki, Juliusz Chojenka, Marcin Perzanowski, Marta Marszalek

Summary: This study explores the magnetoelectric properties of metal/metal-oxide/metal junctions based on anodized metal oxides, particularly using Ti and Fe metallic layers separated by porous metal-oxides of iron or titanium. The research finds that magnetoresistance is influenced by the junction composition, with strong interatomic diffusion at the interface between the top metallic layer and anodized oxide having the most significant impact on observed behavior.

Magnetoresistive Effects in Co/Pt-Based Perpendicular Synthetic Antiferromagnets

Clemens Muehlenhoff, Michal Krupinski, Arkadiusz Zarzycki, Manfred Albrecht

Summary: In this study, the magnetotransport properties of Co/Pt based perpendicular synthetic antiferromagnetic (p-SAF) structures with Ru interlayers were investigated. The number of Co/Pt multilayer (ML) stacks and Ru interlayers in the p-SAF structures were varied to examine changes in their magnetoresistive effects. The alignment of magnetization directions of the MLs in the ML/Ru/ML stacks of the p-SAF generated a giant magnetoresistance effect (GMR), while the anisotropic magnetoresistance effect (AMR) at each ML further influenced the resistance of the system. The study results have important implications for understanding and application of magnetoresistive effects.

Reentrant superconductivity in a hybrid heterostructure with a high transparency barrier

E. E. Zubov

Summary: In the framework of the self-consistent effective field approximation of the time-dependent perturbation theory, the influence of electron tunneling on spontaneously induced order parameters in a normal metal-superconductor hybrid structure was investigated. It was found that near the critical barrier transparency, a reentrant superconductivity phenomenon can be observed. Spectral properties of the hybrid structure show the coexistence of both coherent and incoherent elementary excitations.

The role of the addition of Cu in alloyed and multilayered Fe-based nanowires

M. Kac, A. Nykiel, O. Pastukh, M. Kopec, A. Zarzycki, A. Maximenko, M. Parlinska-Wojtan, E. M. Dutkiewicz, A. Kopia

Summary: This research focused on the influence of Cu addition on the structure and magnetic properties of FeCu-alloyed and Fe/Cu-multilayered nanowires. It was found that Cu addition prevents oxidation and increases magnetic anisotropy and squareness. The increase in Cu concentration in alloyed nanowires leads to higher coercivity and squareness. In the case of multilayered nanowires, increasing Cu layer thickness results in reduced squareness and non-monotonic changes in coercivity.

Magnetic anisotropy in the exchange-biased laser-patterned thin Co/CoO films

M. Perzanowski, O. Polit, J. Chojenka, W. Sas, A. Zarzycki, M. Marszalek

Summary: In this study, the effect of laser interference patterning on the magnetic properties of Pd/CoO/Co/Pd multilayers was investigated. It was found that laser treatment caused magnetic softening of the structure edges while the centers exhibited the exchange bias effect. The study focused on the shape and configurational magnetic anisotropies induced by patterning and showed that the magnetic properties varied depending on the angle of the external magnetic field.

Summary: In recent decades, various attempts have been made to improve the functionality, biocompatibility, and osseointegration of metallic implants. This study investigates the contribution of a protective tantalum interlayer on the growth of hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystals on titanium substrates. The researchers found that coatings with smaller diameters of HAp crystals synthesized on tantalum-based films were more favorable for cell viability and attachment.

Tuning of the Titanium Oxide Surface to Control Magnetic Properties of Thin Iron Films

Juliusz Chojenka, Arkadiusz Zarzycki, Marcin Perzanowski, Michal Krupinski, Tamas Fodor, Kalman Vad, Marta Marszalek

Summary: We study the magnetic properties of thin iron films on nanoporous titanium oxide templates and analyze their dependence on nanopore radius. We compare these results with a continuous iron film of the same thickness and investigate the evolution of magnetic properties after annealing. We find that the M(H) loops of the films consist of two magnetic phases from the iron layer and iron oxides formed at the titanium oxide/iron interface. Deconvolution of hysteresis loops helps extract information for each magnetic phase. We also explore the magnetic interactions between the phases and observe the magnetic hardening effect induced by the nanopores. The ZFC-FC measurements show a disordered glass state below 50 K, likely due to iron oxide formation and short-range magnetic order at the titanium oxide-iron interface.

Arkadiusz Zarzycki, Marcin Perzanowski, Michal Krupinski, Marta Marszalek

Summary: This work presents the process of solid-state dewetting in FePd thin films and its impact on structural transformation and magnetic properties. The morphology, structure, and magnetic properties of the FePd system after annealing at 600 degrees C for different durations were investigated. The analysis revealed a strong correlation between the dewetting process and various physical phenomena, particularly the transition between the A1 phase and L1(0) phase, which is strongly influenced by and connected with solid-state dewetting.

Summary: New data on the state of Tb3+ doping ions in the EuAl3(BO3)(4) single crystals were obtained through the study of electron paramagnetic resonance spectra and optical absorption spectrums. The specific heat of the crystals was also measured and analyzed. The study showed that Tb3+ ions substitute trivalent europium ions and lower the crystal symmetry. The temperature dependence of the linewidth was found to follow the exponential function characteristic of the Aminov-Orbach processes.

Temperature-driven spin switching and exchange bias in the ErFeO3 ferrimagnet

I. Fita, R. Puzniak, E. E. Zubov, P. Iwanowski, A. Wisniewski

Summary: The compensated ferrimagnet orthoferrite ErFeO3 exhibits temperature-driven spin switching and exchange bias, which is manifested as the temperature shift of the hysteresis loops upon cooling and heating. The unidirectional exchange bias anisotropy is caused by the shift in the region of coexistence of negative and positive magnetization, determined by the applied magnetic field. This phenomenon is discussed within a model that explains the magnetic compensation mechanism in ErFeO3.

Quantum versus classical nature of the low-temperature magnetic phase transition in TbAl3(BO3)4

T. Zajarniuk, A. Szewczyk, P. Wisniewski, M. U. Gutowska, R. Puzniak, H. Szymczak, I Gudim, V. A. Bedarev, M. Pashchenko, P. Tomczak, W. Szuszkiewicz

Summary: The specific heat of a TbAl3(BO3)(4) crystal was studied, and a phase transition was found at low temperatures. The results showed that an increase in magnetic field can lower the transition temperature, and the specific heat and Gruneisen ratio exhibited characteristics of a quantum critical point. By constructing a phase diagram and assessing the critical exponent, the nature of the system was revealed. Magnetization studies indicated ferromagnetic ordering, but contrary to classical behavior, suggesting a dominant role of quantum fluctuations in the phase transition.
