It is assumed that the crystal field is either turned on with probability p or turned off with probability 1 p on the sites of a square lattice. Phase diagrams are then calculated on the reduced temperature crystal field planes for given values of γ=Ω/J and p at zero h. Thus, the effect of changing γ and p are illustrated on the phase diagrams in great detail and interesting results are observed.展开更多

In order to overcome the difficulty in determining many of the parameter values, we adopted the model-space effective Hamiltonian method to determine the crystal-field parameters and spin-orbit parameters values. The method made use of the energies and eigenvectors, which were obtained from an ab initio calculation using the relativistic self-consistent discrete variational Slater software package (DV-Xα). Other parameters, which were less dependent on host crystals, were taken from published data. The calculated values of parameters were reasonable, and the energy-levels and f-d transition spectra agreed reasonably well with the measured excitation spectra of 5d-4f emission.展开更多

The bimodal random crystal field is assumed and the recursion relations are employed for the solution of the model. The system gives only the second-order phase transitions for all values of the crystal fields in the non-random bimodal distribution for given probability. The randomness does not change the order of the phase transitions for higher crystal field values, i.e., it is always second-order, but it may introduce first-order phase transitions at lower negative crystal field values for the probability in the range about 0.20 and 0.45, which is only the second-order for the non-random case in this range. Thus our work claims that randomness may be used to induce first-order phase transitions at lower negative crystal field values at lower probabilities.展开更多

Here, five sets of crystal field parameters are discussed and compared. It demonstrates that, only considering the crystal field effect, the experiments can not be successfully explained. Thus, referring to the molecular field theory, an effective exchange field associated with the Dy-Dy exchange interaction is further taken into account. Under special consideration of crystal field and the exchange interaction field, it obtains an excellent agreement between the theoretical results and experiments, and further confirms that the exchange interaction field between rare-earth ions has great importance to magnetic properties in paramagnetic rare-earth gallium garnets.展开更多

In our approach, the crystal field is either turned on or turned off randomly for a given probability p or q = 1 -p, respectively. Then the phase diagrams are constructed on the （A,kT/J） and （p,kT/J） planes for given p and A, respectively, when the coordination number is z = 3. Furthermore, the effect of randomization of the crystal field is illustrated on the （△,kT/J） plane for p = 0.5 when z - 3,4, and 6. All these are carried out for both approximations and then the results are compared to point out the differences. In addition to the lines of second-order phase transitions, the model also exhibits first-order phase transitions and the lines of which terminate at the isolated critical points for high p values.展开更多

To do so, the thermal variations of magnetization are studied via calculating the phase diagrams of the model. We have found that the model displays both second-order and first-order phase transitions in addition to the tricritical and isolated points. Reentrant behavior is also observed for some appropriate values of certain system parameters. Besides the usual ground-state phases of the spin-2 model including ±2, ~1, and 0, we have also observed the phases ±3/2 and ±1/2, which are unusual for the spin-2 case.展开更多

Their structure and photoluminescence properties were investigated by the X-ray powder diffraction （XRD） and excitation and emission spectra in detail. The emission spectra of Ca2Al2SiO7：Eu2＋ phosphors consisted of blue and green band located at 419 and 542 nm, respectively. The relative intensities of the blue and green emission changed with Eu2＋ concentration and were sensitive to the excitation wavelength. The unique photoluminescence property originated from the 4f^7→4f65d transition of Eu2＋ at different energy levels, on which the effect of the crystal field strength was con- sidered to be tailed by adjusting the host composition.展开更多

Two competing growth modes, i.e., the diffusion-controlled growth through long-range atomic migration in liquid and the diffusionless growth through local atom rearrangement, which give rise to two completely different crystallization behaviors, are compared. In the diffusion-controlled regime, the interface migrates in a layerwise manner, leading to a gradual change of crystal morphology from truncated square to four-fold symmetric dendrite with the increase of driving force. For the diffusionless growth mode, a single crystal with no significant density change occupies the whole system at a faster rate while exhibiting a small growth anisotropy. The competition between these two modes is also discussed from the key input of the phase field crystal model： the correlation function.展开更多

Phase diagrams are then calculated on the reduced temperature crystal field planes for given values of γ=Ω/J and p at zero h. Thus, the effect of changing γ and p are illustrated on the phase diagrams in great detail and interesting results are observed.

文摘The random crystal field （RCF） effects are investigated on the phase diagrams of the mixed-spins 1/2 and 3/2 Blume-Capel （BC） model on the Bethe lattice. The bimodal random crystal field is assumed and the recursion relations are employed for the solution of the model. The system gives only the second-order phase transitions for all values of the crystal fields in the non-random bimodal distribution for given probability. The randomness does not change the order of the phase transitions for higher crystal field values, i.e., it is always second-order, but it may introduce first-order phase transitions at lower negative crystal field values for the probability in the range about 0.20 and 0.45, which is only the second-order for the non-random case in this range. Thus our work claims that randomness may be used to induce first-order phase transitions at lower negative crystal field values at lower probabilities.

文摘This paper theoretically investigates the effects of crystal field and exchange interaction field on magnetic properties in dysprosium gallium garnet under extreme conditions （low temperatures and high magnetic fields） based on quantum theory. Here, five sets of crystal field parameters are discussed and compared. It demonstrates that, only considering the crystal field effect, the experiments can not be successfully explained. Thus, referring to the molecular field theory, an effective exchange field associated with the Dy-Dy exchange interaction is further taken into account. Under special consideration of crystal field and the exchange interaction field, it obtains an excellent agreement between the theoretical results and experiments, and further confirms that the exchange interaction field between rare-earth ions has great importance to magnetic properties in paramagnetic rare-earth gallium garnets.
文摘Based on a single ion model, Hamiltonian of the simplest form about magnetocrystalline anisotropy for Tb3+ ion was solved by using the numerical method. The relation between the stabilization energy, crystal field coefficient B20 and the magnetic exchange interaction was studied as temperature approaches to 0 K. The results show that the stabilization energy contributed by Tb3+ is linear with crystal field coefficient B20 approximately, but it is insensitive to the change of magnetic exchange interaction for the strong magnetic substances such as TbCo5, Tb2Co17 and Tb2Fe14B compounds.
文摘The bimodal random crystal field （A） effects are investigated on the phase diagrams of spin-3/2 Ising model by using the effective-field theory with correlations based on two approximations： the general van der Waerden identity and the approximated van der Waerden identity. In our approach, the crystal field is either turned on or turned off randomly for a given probability p or q = 1 -p, respectively. Then the phase diagrams are constructed on the （A,kT/J） and （p,kT/J） planes for given p and A, respectively, when the coordination number is z = 3. Furthermore, the effect of randomization of the crystal field is illustrated on the （△,kT/J） plane for p = 0.5 when z - 3,4, and 6. All these are carried out for both approximations and then the results are compared to point out the differences. In addition to the lines of second-order phase transitions, the model also exhibits first-order phase transitions and the lines of which terminate at the isolated critical points for high p values.
文摘We have investigated the random crystal field effects on the phase diagrams of the spin-2 Blume-Capel model for a honeycomb lattice using the effective-field theory with correlations. To do so, the thermal variations of magnetization are studied via calculating the phase diagrams of the model. We have found that the model displays both second-order and first-order phase transitions in addition to the tricritical and isolated points. Reentrant behavior is also observed for some appropriate values of certain system parameters. Besides the usual ground-state phases of the spin-2 model including ±2, ~1, and 0, we have also observed the phases ±3/2 and ±1/2, which are unusual for the spin-2 case.

文摘A series of single-phased Ca2Al2SiOT：EU2＋phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state reaction. Their structure and photoluminescence properties were investigated by the X-ray powder diffraction （XRD） and excitation and emission spectra in detail. The emission spectra of Ca2Al2SiO7：Eu2＋ phosphors consisted of blue and green band located at 419 and 542 nm, respectively. The relative intensities of the blue and green emission changed with Eu2＋ concentration and were sensitive to the excitation wavelength. The unique photoluminescence property originated from the 4f^7→4f65d transition of Eu2＋ at different energy levels, on which the effect of the crystal field strength was con- sidered to be tailed by adjusting the host composition.

文摘The critical behaviors of a mixed spin-1/2 and spin-sB Ising system with a transverse crystal field are studiedby use of the effective-field theory with correlations. The effect of the transverse crystal field on transition temperaturesis investigated numerically for the honeycomb (z = 3) and square (z = 4) lattices. The results show that there is notricritical point for the system.

文摘Using the phase field crystal approach, the crystallization process within the liquid-solid coexistence region is inves- tigated for a square lattice on an atomic scale. Two competing growth modes, i.e., the diffusion-controlled growth through long-range atomic migration in liquid and the diffusionless growth through local atom rearrangement, which give rise to two completely different crystallization behaviors, are compared. In the diffusion-controlled regime, the interface migrates in a layerwise manner, leading to a gradual change of crystal morphology from truncated square to four-fold symmetric dendrite with the increase of driving force. For the diffusionless growth mode, a single crystal with no significant density change occupies the whole system at a faster rate while exhibiting a small growth anisotropy. The competition between these two modes is also discussed from the key input of the phase field crystal model： the correlation function.
