    High-temperature series expansion of the correlation function on the B- spinel lattice are computed up to order 6 in β = 1/(kBT) for Heisenberg model including both the nearest and next-nearest-neighbor interactions J1 and J2 respectively. The behavior with the temperature and the site dilution is presented. The approach is applied to the experimental results of the B-spinel ZnCr2xAl2-2xS4. The critical temperature and the critical exponents for the susceptibility and the correlation length are deduced by applying the Padé approximant methods. The following estimates are obtained for the familiar critical exponents: γ=1.382±0.012 and ν = 0.691±0.011. These values are not sensitive to the dilution ratio x. The bond percolation threshold xp is determined by studying the disorder variation of the correlation length ξ. The xp is considered as the concentration at which ξ vanishes. The obtained values are xp =0.27 when only J1 is considered and 0.23 when both J1 and J2 are considered.High-temperature series expansion of the correlation function on the B- spinel lattice are computed up to order 6 in β = 1/(kBT) for Heisenberg model including both the nearest and next-nearest-neighbor interactions J1 and J2 respectively.

    Critical Properties and Exchange Interactions of Antiferromagnetic A-spinel Lattice: A Study Through High-temperature Series Expansions

    Get PDF
    We derive high- temperature series expansions for the spin correlation functions of the A-spinel lattice. The development is extended to the order 6 in β = 1/KBT with nearest-neighbour and next-nearest neighbour interactions. The results are given for various neighbour correlation functions (up to the third). The behaviour with the temperature is presented. The critical region is studied by applying the Padé approximants method to the corresponding high- temperature series expansion of the magnetic susceptibility and the correlation length. The approach is applied to the experimental results of the particular system A-spinel CoCo2O4 . The following estimates are obtained for the familiar critical exponents:  γ =  1.382±0.010 and ν =  0.701±0.012.We derive high- temperature series expansions for the spin correlation functions of the A-spinel lattice.

    The bound state energies of ideal Ga and As vacancies in GaAs have been studied in the Green’s-function framework in conjunction the tight-binding method. Using existing data for band structures, the Koster-Slater parameters have been estimated, the energy levels at critical points and the density of states in perturbed and unperturbed crystal have been calculated. The unrelaxed vacancy of Ga and As introduces bound state at 0.05 eV and 1.46 eV respectively above the valence band edge. These results provide justification to experimental data based on irradiation of GaAs by energetic neutrons.The bound state energies of ideal Ga and As vacancies in GaAs have been studied in the Green’s-function framework in conjunction the tight-binding method.

    The critical behaviour of the B-spinel ZnxCd1-xCr2Se4 systems is studied in the concentration range 0.35≤x≤0.58. The mean field theory and the ferromagnetic spin-wave theory at low temperatures are combined to calculate the exchange integrals up to the third nearest neighbours. The ferromagnetic critical region is studied by the high-temperature series expansion (H.T.S.) extrapolated with the Padé (P.A) approximants method. The critical temperatures T c and the critical exponents associated with the magnetic susceptibility (γ) and the correlation length (ν) are estimated. The obtained values of T c are in good agreement with those obtained by magnetic measurements. The values of γ and ν are sensitive to the dilution ratio x. For the compounds situated in the ferromagnetic region ( 0.35≤x≤0.41), they are close to those of 3D Heisenberg model. For the compounds presenting re-entrant behaviour ( 0.41≤x≤0.58 ), γ and ν deviate slowly from those of this model and approach the values found in re-entrant systems.The critical behaviour of the B-spinel ZnxCd1-xCr2Se4 systems is studied in the concentration range 0.35≤x≤0.58.

    The effects of cationic substitutions at different concentrations within the lattice Znx Cd1-xCr2Se4 (0.35≤x≤0.58) on the electronic transfer in chromium ions are investigated. For this propose, after taking into account the exchange integrals, we use the Anderson’s-Kanamori theory of superexchange to determine the transfer integrals bσσ and bπσ . With the use of the conventional molecular orbital model the covalency-mixing parameters, λσ and λπ, the electron spin transfer coefficients, ƒ i (i=σ, π, s ), and the total charge, C, transferred from ligand to the chromium ions, are evaluated. The variation of bσσ and bσπ with x agree with the passage of the system from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic order. For the compound presenting re-entrant behaviour (0.45≤x≤0.58), f s exhibits anomalous. The increasing in C with x is consistent with the expected decrease in covalency of the non magnetic cation in tetrahedral site.The effects of cationic substitutions at different concentrations within the lattice Znx Cd1-xCr2Se4 (0.35≤x≤0.58) on the electronic transfer in chromium ions are investigated.

Using the mean field theory, we have evaluated the nearest neighbour, the next-neighbour super-exchange, and the third next nearest neighbour interaction J1(x), J2(x) and J3(x), respectively for the Zn1-xCuxCr2Se4and J1(x), J2(x) for the Cd1-xCuxCr2Se4systems in the whole range of concentration 0≤x≤1. By using the high-temperature series expansions combined with the Padé approximants method, we have obtained the magnetic phase diagrams in Tc versus dilution c. A spin glass phase is predicted for intermediate range of concentration. The obtained results are in agreement with experimental ones obtained by magnetic measurements for the systems studied.
