We study critical properties of the relaxation time at a threshold point in switching processes between bistable states under change in external fields. In particular, we investigate the relaxation processes near the spinodal point of the infinitely long-range interaction model (the Husimi-Temperley model) by analyzing the scaling properties of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. We also confirm the obtained scaling relations by direct numerical solution of the original master equation, and by kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of the stochastic decay process. In particular, we study the asymptotic forms of the divergence of the relaxation time near the spinodal point and re-examine its scaling properties. We further extend the analysis to transient critical phenomena such as a threshold behavior with diverging switching time under a general external driving perturbation. This models photoexcitation processes in spin-crossover materials. In the ongoing development of nanosize fabrication, such size-dependence of switching processes should be an important issue, and the properties obtained here will be applicable to a wide range of physical processes.

Finite-temperature dynamical and static properties of Nd magnets studied by an atomistic modeling

Masamichi Nishino, Ismail Enes Uysal, Taichi Hinokihara, Seiji Miyashita

Summary: The study focuses on investigating the static and dynamic properties of the Nd permanent magnet, Nd2Fe14B, and presents the temperature dependence of magnetizations, domain wall profiles, and ferromagnetic resonance frequency. Additionally, the coercive force of a single grain is estimated using a statistical method, showing the surface anisotropy effect of Nd atoms on coercive force and magnetic fields in a hard-soft-hard magnet model.

Sustaining Rabi oscillations by using a phase-tunable image drive

Hans De Raedt, Seiji Miyashita, Kristel Michielsen, Herve Vezin, Sylvain Bertaina, Irinel Chiorescu

Summary: Recent electron spin resonance experiments have shown that sustained Rabi oscillations can be achieved by driving a magnetic moment with microwave fields. This paper investigates the interactions between microwave drives and three relaxation mechanisms using numerical and analytical techniques. In addition, two microscopic models are proposed to describe the effects of microwave fields and interactions on Rabi oscillations.

Strong Coupling of a Gd3+Multilevel Spin System to an On-Chip Superconducting Resonator

Giovanni Franco-Rivera, Josiah Cochran, Seiji Miyashita, Sylvain Bertaina, Irinel Chiorescu

Summary: We demonstrate a strong coupling between a Gd3+ spin ensemble in a scheelite single crystal and a superconducting cavity, resulting in a large separation of spin-photon states. The interaction is well described by the Dicke model and crystal-field Hamiltonian. The presence of photons in the cavity induces changes in the crystal-field parameters and perturbs the crystal ground state. Numerical calculations estimate the cavity sensing volume and the average spin-photon coupling strength to be approximately 620 Hz.

Microscopic study on the angular dependence of coercivity at zero and finite temperatures

Hiroshi Hayasaka, Masamichi Nishino, Seiji Miyashita

Summary: The angular dependence of coercivity in permanent magnets is explored in this study. The investigation includes the effects of temperature and thermal fluctuations on magnetization reversal. The study reveals differences in magnetization reversal mechanisms at zero and finite temperatures, as well as variations in the angular dependences of nucleation and pinning fields. The thermal fluctuation reduces threshold fields, alters angular dependences, and narrows the gap between nucleation and pinning fields. Additionally, the alignment distribution of grains impacts the angular dependences of threshold fields.

Adjustable reach in a network centrality based on current flows

Aleks J. Gurfinkel, Per Arne Rikvold

Summary: Centrality, a fundamental concept in modern network theory, quantifies the importance of individual nodes through various measures. This paper introduces a classification system for parametrized centralities and identifies a new type of centrality called ground-current centrality. The ground-current centrality differs significantly from other centralities and demonstrates consistent performance in preserving rank order and centrality value distribution across different network architectures.

Effect of the surface magnetic anisotropy of neodymium atoms on the coercivity in neodymium permanent magnets

Masamichi Nishino, Ismail Enes Uysal, Seiji Miyashita

Summary: The Nd permanent magnet is essential in energy conversion devices, and controlling coercivity relies on the surface properties of magnetic grains. Research shows that modifications of only the first surface layer have little impact on coercivity at finite temperatures, while alterations in multiple layers have significant effects. The study provides insights into the dependencies of coercivity on temperature, surface type, modified layer depth, and domain growth in magnetization reversal.

Finite-temperature properties of extended Nagaoka ferromagnetism: Ordering processes and precursor of a quantum phase transition between itinerant ferromagnetic and Mott antiferromagnetic states

Hiroaki Onishi, Seiji Miyashita

Summary: Finite-temperature properties of a Hubbard model including particle bath sites were studied using numerical methods. The specific heat showed peaks corresponding to different energy scales of ordering processes, with magnetic correlations developing at very low temperatures. Depending on parameters, the system exhibited either an itinerant ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic state, with competition between magnetic states leading to a peculiar ordering process of local spin correlations.
