Numerical analysis of the magnetic field for arbitrary magnetic susceptibility distributions in 2D.

We describe a numerical technique for calculating the 2D magnetic field in arbitrary magnetic susceptibility distribution. The technique we used is the explicit finite difference method with an addition of the Du Fort-Frankle algorithm. The proposed algorithm is unconditionally stable and has excellent convergence properties. For simple geometries, numerical results were compared against analytical solutions and appeared to be in excellent agreement.

Magnetic separation of CD14+ cells using antibody binding with protein A expressed on bacterial magnetic particles for generating dendritic cells.

Herein the potential of a highly efficient cell separation system using bacterial magnetic particles expressing protein A (protein A-BacMPs) was demonstrated. Protein A was expressed on BacMPs using the transmembrane proteins Mms13 and MagA as anchor molecules. The evaluations of the numbers of bound antibody molecules and binding capabilities of the protein A-BacMPs using Mms13 indicated that the antibodies were efficiently introduced into protein A-BacMPs using Mms13 in comparison to MagA. In addition, the recovery ratio of the target cells on the magnetic cell separation system was enhanced by using protein A-BacMPs with Mms13. Using positive selection against peripheral blood mononuclear cells, the CD14(+) cells were separated at a purity of more than 99% by protein A-BacMPs using Mms13. Furthermore, in the evaluation of the influence of protein A-BacMPs on the separated cells, the CD14(+) cells separated using protein A-BacMPs and were successfully differentiated into dendritic cells.

Magnetic alignment in nominally non-magnetic hexagonal metal hydrides: NMR.

Powders of three hexagonal metal-hydrides or -deuterides are found to align in 4.4-8.3 T magnetic fields used for NMR. The field-alignment is unexpected, since all three systems have very small susceptibilities, as demonstrated by sharp NMR lines. The extent of alignment runs from nearly complete to barely detectable in ZrBe2(H,D)x, LuD3, and YD3, respectively. The preferred alignment direction in ZrBe2(H,D)x is with the crystallites' c-axis perpendicular to B, while the c-axis and B tend to be parallel in LuD3 and YD3. The susceptibilities chi parallel and chi perpendicular are determined from bulk magnetization measurements in aligned ZrBe2H1.4 powder. The alignment must be considered for proper analysis of NMR spectra in these and related materials.

Magnetic molecular conductors based on BETS molecules and divalent magnetic anions [BETS = bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene].

Several conducting salts based on BETS [where BETS = bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene] molecules and divalent magnetic anions such as the (CoCl(4))(2-), (CoBr(4))(2-), and (MnBr(4))(2-) were prepared. Electrocrystallization by using the (CoCl(4))(2-) anion gave two kinds of crystals. Block-shaped crystals were cleared to be (BETS)(2)CoCl(4), which is an insulator with the high-spin state of cobalt 3d spin. On the other hand, the X-ray crystal structure analysis of a plate-shaped crystal of the (CoCl(4))(2-) salt revealed the system to be kappa-(BETS)(4)CoCl(4)(EtOH), which is metallic down to 0.7 K. The electronic band structure calculation gave a typical two-dimensional cylindrical Fermi surface. However, there is only very weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the S = 3/2 cobalt 3d spins because of its anion-solvent-intermingled layer structure. On the other hand, the electrocrystallization by using the (MnBr(4))(2-) anion yielded the plate-shaped black crystals of the (MnBr(4))(2-) salt. Crystal structure analysis of the (MnBr(4))(2-) salt showed that the salt is theta;-(BETS)(4)MnBr(4)(EtOH)(2) with alternating donor and anion-solvent mixed layers. The stacking direction in one donor layer is perpendicular to those of the neighboring layers. The electrical and magnetic properties of the theta;-(BETS)(4)MnBr(4)(EtOH)(2) salt showed the metallic behavior down to approximately 30 K and the paramagnetism of the high-spin manganese 3d spins. Band structure calculation of this salt gave an elliptical cylindrical Fermi surface. Because the Fermi surfaces of the adjacent donor layers are rotated to each other by 90 degrees, the theta-(BETS)(4)MnBr(4)(EtOH)(2) salt becomes a two-dimensionally isotropic metal.

Unusual magnetic properties of one-dimensional molecule-based magnets associated with a structural phase transition.

Three ion-pair complexes, [RbzPy](+)[Ni(mnt)(2)](-) (mnt(2)(-) = maleonitriledithiolate; [RbzPy](+) = 4-R-benzylpyridinium; R = Br (1), Cl (2), and NO(2) (3)), with unusual magnetic properties have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 have been solved. The two complexes belong to the P2(1)/c space group with Z = 4 and C(20)H(11)BrN(5)NiS(4), a = 12.0744(17) A, b = 26.369(4) A, c = 7.440(3) A, and beta = 102.63(3) degrees for 1 and C(20)H(11)ClN(5)NiS(4), a = 12.105(2) A, b = 26.218(4) A, c = 7.374(2) A, and beta = 102.55(2) degrees for 2, respectively. The [Ni(mnt)(2)](-) anions in 1-3 form uniformly spaced one-dimensional (1-D) magnetic chains of s = 1/2 at room temperature. The temperature dependences of the susceptibility for 1-3 show that they undergo phase transitions. All three complexes are paramagnetic in their high-temperature (abbreviation HT) phase and diamagnetic in the low-temperature (abbreviation LT) phase because of strong dimerization along the stacking direction. The results of thermal analysis (DSC) further confirm that the phase transition for 1 and 2 is first-order but maybe second-order for 3. The phenomena observed in this study are similar to those of the 1-D radical systems.

Synthesis, crystal structures, and magnetic properties of two cyano-bridged tungstate(V)-manganese(II) bimetallic magnets.

The reaction of manganese acetate with octacyanotungastate in an aqueous solution of concentrated acetic acid gives two new three-dimensional cyano-bridged manganese(II)-tungstate(V) bimetallic assemblies, [Mn(II)(2)(H(2)O)(2)(CH(3)COO)][W(V)(CN)(8)].2H(2)O (1) (tetragonal space group I4/mcm, a = b = 11.9628(9) A, c = 13.367(2) A, and Z = 4) and Cs(I)(0.5)Mn(II)(2)[W(V)(CN)(8)](CH(3)CO(2))(1.5).H(2)O (2) (monoclinic space group C2/c, a = 16.274(2) A, b = 22.948(6) A, c = 13.196(1) A, beta = 128.040(6) degrees, and Z = 8). In complex 1, W(V)(CN)(8) adopts a square antiprismatic geometry, and each CN group coordinates to the Mn(II) ions forming W-Mn(4)-W-Mn(4)-...columnar linkages where four sites on the Mn(II) ion with octahedral geometry are occupied by CN groups. The columns are parallel and interlock, yielding a network structure. Complex 2 contains two different coordination geometries for W(V)(CN)(8), namely, square antiprismatic and dodecahedral. The columnar structures appear also in 2, where the Mn(II) ions in two different environments provide three and four coordinated sites to the CN groups. The columns are bridged by both dodecahedral W(V)(CN)(8) groups and acetates. Cs ions were intercalated in the lattice by the formation of short attractive contacts with the acetates. The field-cooled magnetization, ac susceptibility, and the field dependence of magnetization measurements show that both 1 and 2 are ferrimagnets with ordering temperatures 40 and 45 K, respectively. The investigation of the magnetostructural correlation shows that the ferrimagnetic ordering in 1 and 2 are attributed to the dominant antiferromagnetic exchange pathways d(z)2(W)-d(x')(y')(Mn) and d(x)2(-y)2(W) - d(x')(y')(Mn).

Unusual enlargment of magnetic interactions in the lowest excited states of nitroxide radical chromium(III) complexes as revealed by magnetic circular dichroism and luminescence.

Magnetic circular dichroism and NIR luminescence of nitroxide radical complexes, [Cr(III)(beta-diketonato)(2)(NIT2py or IM2py)]PF(6), demonstrate that the energy gaps between the singlet ((1)L(D)) and triplet ((3)L(D)) spin coupled levels in the lowest excited (2)E(g),(2)T(1g) states are much larger than those in the ground state. This is the first observation of magnetic interactions in the excited states of radical complexes, which could be elucidated in terms of the exchange mechanism.

Ionic pair complexes with well-separated columnar stack structure based on [Pt(mnt)2]- ions showing unusual magnetic transition: syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties.

Three ion pair complexes, [4-R-benzylpyridinium][bis(maleodinitriledithiolato)platinum(III)] (abbreviated as [RBzPy][Pt(mnt)(2)]; R = Cl (1), Br (2), or NO(2) (3)), have been synthesized. The cations and anions stack into well-separated columns in the solid state, and the Pt(III) ions form a 1-D zigzag chain within a [Pt(mnt)(2)](-) column through Pt...S, S...S, and Pt...S...Pt interactions. The chain is uniform in 1 and 2, while it alternates in 3. Unusual magnetic phase transitions from paramagnetism to diamagnetism were observed in these three complexes at approximately 275 K for 1, approximately 269 K for 2, and approximately 184 K for 3. These phase transitions were also found in DSC measurements for 1 and 2. The overall magnetic behaviors for 1-3 indicate the presence of antiferromagnetic exchange interactions in the high-temperature phase and spin-gapped systems in the low-temperature phase. Below 50 K, 2 exhibits weak ferromagnetism. The spontaneous moments are nearly repressed by a field of 1.0 T. The crystal structure of 2 at 173 K reveals that there are two crystallographically independent [Pt(mnt)(2)](-) entries in an asymmetric unit. These two crystallographically independent [Pt(mnt)(2)](-) entries satisfy the spin-canting condition, and the EPR spectra measured at room temperature exhibit anisotropic character. Therefore, the weak ferromagnetic behavior in the low-temperature region for 2 can be attributed to the spin-canting phenomenon.

Reexamination of the magnetic properties of Cu(2)(dca)(4)(2,5-me(2)pyz) [dca = dicyanamide; me(2)pyz = dimethylpyrazine]: isolated spin-1/2 dimers versus long-range magnetic ordering.

The magnetic properties of Cu(2)(dca)(4)(2,5-me(2)pyz) have been reexamined. The extended structure of Cu(2)(dca)(4)(2,5-me(2)pyz) can be viewed in terms of Cu(2)(2,5-me(2)pyz)(4+) dimer units interconnected via mu(1,5)-dca ligands. The bulk magnetic susceptibility chi(T) and the isothermal M(H) of Cu(2)(dca)(4)(2,5-me(2)pyz) are shown to be well described by an isolated dimer model. This finding was confirmed by carrying out a spin dimer analysis based on tight-binding calculations, which shows that the 2,5-me(2)pyz ligand provides a substantial spin exchange interaction between the Cu(2+) ions while the dca ligands do not.

Magnetic ordering in doped Cd(1-x)Co(x)Se diluted magnetic quantum dots.

In this study, we report structural, vibrational, and magnetic data providing evidence of random ion displacement in the core of CdSe quantum dots on the Cd(2+) sites by Co(2+) ions (between x = 0 and 0.30). Structural evidence for core doping is obtained by analyzing the powder X-ray diffraction (pXRD), data which exhibits a linear lattice compression with increasing Co(2+) concentration, in accord with Vegard's law. Correlated with the pXRD shift, a hardening of the CdSe longitudinal optical phonon mode and a new local vibrational mode are observed which track Co(2+) doping concentration. Consistent with the observed core doping, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements indicate a surprising increase for the onset of spin glass behavior by an order of magnitude over bulk Co:CdSe. Correlation of SQUID results, pXRD, and Raman measurements suggests that the observed enhancement of magnetic superexchange between Co(2+) dopant ions in this confined system arises from changes in the nature of coupling in size-restricted materials.

Magnetic quantum dots: synthesis, spectroscopy, and magnetism of Co2+ - and Ni2+-doped ZnO nanocrystals.

We report a method for the preparation of colloidal ZnO-diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum dots (DMS-QDs) by alkaline-activated hydrolysis and condensation of zinc acetate solutions in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Mechanistic studies reveal that Co(2+) and Ni(2+) dopants inhibit nucleation and growth of ZnO nanocrystals. In particular, dopants are quantitatively excluded from the critical nuclei but are incorporated nearly isotropically during subsequent growth of the nanocrystals. The smaller nanocrystal diameters that result upon doping are explained by the Gibbs-Thompson relationship between lattice strain and crystal solubility. We describe methods for cleaning the nanocrystal surfaces of exposed dopants and for redispersion of the final DMS-QDs. Homogeneous substitutional doping is verified by high-resolution low-temperature electronic absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopies. A "giant Zeeman effect" is observed in the band gap transition of Co(2+):ZnO DMS-QDs. MCD and Zeeman spectroscopies are used to quantify the magnitude of the p-d exchange interaction (N(0)beta) that gives rise to this effect. N(0)beta values of -2.3 +/- 0.3 eV (-18 500 cm(-1)) for Co(2+):ZnO and -4.5 +/- 0.6 eV (-36 300 cm(-1)) for Ni(2+):ZnO have been determined. Ligand-to-metal charge-transfer transitions are observed in the MCD spectra of both Co(2+):ZnO and Ni(2+):ZnO DMS-QDs and are analyzed in the context of an optical electronegativity model. The importance of these charge-transfer states in determining N(0)beta is discussed. Ferromagnetism with T(C) > 350 K is observed in aggregated nanocrystals of Co(2+):ZnO that unambiguously demonstrates the existence of intrinsic high-T(C) ferromagnetism in this class of DMSs.

Nuclear spin driven quantum tunneling of magnetization in a new lanthanide single-molecule magnet: bis(phthalocyaninato)holmium anion.

The first measurements of magnetization hysteresis loops on a diluted single crystal of [(Pc)2Ho]-.TBA+ (Pc = phthalocyaninato, TBA = tetrabutylammonium) in the subkelvin temperature range are reported. Characteristic staircase-like structure was observed, indicating the occurrence of the quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM), which is a characteristic feature of SMMs. The quantum process in the new lanthanide SMMs is due to resonant quantum tunneling between entangled states of the electronic and nuclear spin systems, which is an essentially different mechanism from those of the known transition-metal-cluster SMMs. Evidence of the two-body quantum process was also observed for the first time in lanthanide complex systems.

Structural and magnetic investigations for the doping effect of nonmagnetic impurity on the spin-Peierls-like transition in a quasi-one-dimensional magnet: 1-(4'-nitrobenzyl)pyridinium bis(maleonitriledithiolato)nickelate.

A nonmagnetic compound, [NO(2)BzPy][Au(mnt)(2)] (NO(2)BzPy(+) = 1-(4'-nitrobenzyl)pyridinium; mnt(2-) = maleonitriledithiolate), was synthesized and characterized structurally, which is isostructural with [NO(2)BzPy][Ni(mnt)(2)] that is a quasi-one-dimensional magnet and possesses a spin-Peierls-like transition with J = 192 K in the gapless state and spin energy gap = 738 K in the dimerization state, respectively. Further, ten nonmagnetic impurity doped compounds with a formula [NO(2)BzPy][Au(x)Ni(1-x)(mnt)(2)] (x = 0.01-0.73) were prepared and investigated by crystal structural determinations and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The nonmagnetic doping causes the suppression of the spin transition with an average rate of 221(12) K/percentage of dopant concentration. From the plots of chi(m)-T, the transition collapse (the characteristic of the transition is the sudden drop of chi(m) upon cooling, and the disappearance of this characteristic is considered as the criterion for the transition collapse) is estimated at around x > 0.27. In heavier doped system x = 0.49, the spin gap vanishes and a gapless phase is achieved again.

Nuclear and magnetic structures and magnetic properties of synthetic brochantite, Cu4(OH)6SO4.

Cu4(OH)6SO4 (1) and Cu4(OD)6SO4 (2) were obtained by hydrothermal syntheses from copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide in H2O and D2O, respectively. They crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/a (14), a = 13.1206(5), b = 9.8551(3), c = 6.0295(2) Angstroms, beta = 103.432(3) degrees, V = 758.3(1) Angstroms(3), Z = 4 and a = 13.1187(5), b = 9.8552(3), c = 6.0293(2) Angstroms, beta = 103.410(3) degrees, V = 758.3(1) Angstroms(3), Z = 4, respectively. They are iso-structural to the mineral brochantite and consist of double chains of edge-sharing copper octahedra that are connected to one another by corners to form corrugated planes along bc; these planes are in-turn bridged by the unprecedented mu7-sulfate tetrahedra to give a 3D-structure. All the hydrogen atoms were precisely located from refinement of the neutron powder diffraction data of the deuterated sample. Magnetic susceptibility data reveal a low-dimensional behavior at high temperature and the presence of both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic super-exchanges resulting in a 3D long-range antiferromagnetic ordering at 7.5 K accompanied by a small canting of the moments. The transition is confirmed by a lambda-peak in the specific heat. The magnetic structure at 1.4 K shows the moments are oriented perpendicular to the corrugated planes with alternation along +/-a for neighboring chains within the double chains. The enhanced incoherent scattering at low-angle suggests the existence of short-range ferromagnetic clusters.

The evolution of the magnetic moment in a corrugated magnetic field.

In the first part, the equations of motion in a weakly corrugated, periodic magnetic field are linearized and solved by using paraxial approximation, to describe the model and the associated resonance condition. In the second part, the nonlinear evolution of the magnetic moment of resonant particles, in connection with their axial displacement is investigated analytically by using the multiple scale method. It is seen that the linear evolution is converted into a slow and periodic oscillation around the unperturbed value, with a considerable amplitude. The analytic expressions for the period and amplitude of the oscillations are derived and compared with the numerical simulations, which are also presented. Finally, the limitations of the paraxial approximation are concluded by investigating the numerical simulations, with actual field expressions. (c) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

Magnetic order and energetics of dipolar coupling in magnetic superconductors.

The exact (not just nearest-neighbor) dipolar coupling energy densities for the observed structures of the rare earth Chevrel compounds are calculated by the method of Luttinger and Tisza. The dipolar coupling energy density for the most probable spin configuration is comparable to the observed magnetic transition temperature, T(M), but the most probable ground state is not found experimentally. The discrepancy between the observed magnetic ground state and that predicted from dipole coupling may arise from conduction electron effects or possibly from some strong crystal field effect and should be included in any electronic theory of the superconductive state below T(M).
