Lattice dynamics and structural stability of ordered Fe3Ni, Fe3Pd and Fe3Pt alloys
We investigate the binding surface along the Bain path and phonon dispersion
relations for the cubic phase of the ferromagnetic binary alloys Fe3X (X = Ni,
Pd, Pt) for L12 and DO22 ordered phases from first principles by means of
density functional theory. The phonon dispersion relations exhibit a softening
of the transverse acoustic mode at the M-point in the L12-phase in accordance
with experiments for ordered Fe3Pt. This instability can be associated with a
rotational movement of the Fe-atoms around the Ni-group element in the
neighboring layers and is accompanied by an extensive reconstruction of the
Fermi surface. In addition, we find an incomplete softening in [111] direction
which is strongest for Fe3 Ni. We conclude that besides the valence electron
density also the specific Fe-content and the masses of the alloying partners
should be considered as parameters for the design of Fe-based functional
magnetic materials.Comment: Revised version, accepted for publication in Physical Review
Cooling and heating by adiabatic magnetization in the NiMnIn magnetic shape memory alloy
We report on measurements of the adiabatic temperature change in the inverse
magnetocaloric NiMnIn alloy. It is shown that this alloy
heats up with the application of a magnetic field around the Curie point due to
the conventional magnetocaloric effect. In contrast, the inverse magnetocaloric
effect associated with the martensitic transition results in the unusual
decrease of temperature by adiabatic magnetization. We also provide
magnetization and specific heat data which enable to compare the measured
temperature changes to the values indirectly computed from thermodynamic
relationships. Good agreement is obtained for the conventional effect at the
second-order paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition. However, at the first
order structural transition the measured values at high fields are lower than
the computed ones. Irreversible thermodynamics arguments are given to show that
such a discrepancy is due to the irreversibility of the first-order martensitic
transition.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures. Accepted for publication in the Physical Review
Ground state representations of loop algebras
Let g be a simple Lie algebra, Lg be the loop algebra of g. Fixing a point in
S^1 and identifying the real line with the punctured circle, we consider the
subalgebra Sg of Lg of rapidly decreasing elements on R. We classify the
translation-invariant 2-cocycles on Sg. We show that the ground state
representation of Sg is unique for each cocycle. These ground states correspond
precisely to the vacuum representations of Lg.Comment: 22 pages, no figur

On the Structure of the Fusion Ideal
We prove that there is a finite level-independent bound on the number of
relations defining the fusion ring of positive energy representations of the
loop group of a simple, simply connected Lie group. As an illustration, we
compute the fusion ring of at all levels
Singularities of equidistants and global centre symmetry sets of Lagrangian submanifolds
We define the Global Centre Symmetry set (GCS) of a smooth closed
m-dimensional submanifold M of R^n, , which is an affinely invariant
generalization of the centre of a k-sphere in R^{k+1}. The GCS includes both
the centre symmetry set defined by Janeczko and the Wigner caustic defined by
Berry. We develop a new method for studying generic singularities of the GCS
which is suited to the case when M is lagrangian in R^{2m} with canonical
symplectic form. The definition of the GCS, which slightly generalizes one by
Giblin and Zakalyukin, is based on the notion of affine equidistants, so, we
first study singularities of affine equidistants of Lagrangian submanifolds,
classifying all the stable ones. Then, we classify the affine-Lagrangian stable
singularities of the GCS of Lagrangian submanifolds and show that, already for
smooth closed convex curves in R^2, many singularities of the GCS which are
affine stable are not affine-Lagrangian stable.Comment: 26 pages, 2 figure
Evolution and stability of a magnetic vortex in small cylindrical ferromagnetic particle under applied field
The energy of a displaced magnetic vortex in a cylindrical particle made of
isotropic ferromagnetic material (magnetic dot) is calculated taking into
account the magnetic dipolar and the exchange interactions. Under the
simplifying assumption of small dot thickness the closed-form expressions for
the dot energy is written in a non-perturbative way as a function of the
coordinate of the vortex center. Then, the process of losing the stability of
the vortex under the influence of the externally applied magnetic field is
considered. The field destabilizing the vortex as well as the field when the
vortex energy is equal to the energy of a uniformly magnetized state are
calculated and presented as a function of dot geometry. The results (containing
no adjustable parameters) are compared to the recent experiment and are in good
agreement.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, RevTe
