17
Q

what is the curie wiess law formula

A

Xm = C / (T- theta)

18
Q

what does the wiess constant represent

A

reflects the energy scale of magnetic interactions in a material

19
Q

what is the sign of the wiess constant in an antiferromagnet

A

-

20
Q

what is the sign of the wiess constant in a

ferromagnet

A

+

21
Q

what is a ferrimagnet

A

an antiferromagnet where the opposing moments dont cancel out do it acts like a weak ferromagnet

22
Q

what is the value of Tc similar to

A

the weiss constant

23
Q

whatis the basis of mean field theory

A

electron interactions are modelled by internal molecular field, Hm

24
Q

what is Hm equal to

A

lamda M

25
Q

what does mean field theory predict

A

magnetic susceptiblity will diverge at Tc

26
Q

what is a ferromagnetic domain

A

an individual part of a material where moments are alligned together

27
Q

what is magnetoresistance

A

when resistance changes

28
Q

what effect does doping perovskites have on exchange

A

LaMnO3 doped with Sr2+ oxidised Mn3+ to Mn4+ - becomes ferromagnetic as e can move

29
Q

what temperature does antiferromagnetic ordering occur

A

neel temperature (TN)

30
Q

what is TN equal to

A

|wiess constant|

31
Q

what sign is the molecular field of an antiferromagnet

A

-ve

32
Q

how does sublattice a compare to sublattice b

A

equal in magntitude opposite in direction

33
Q

what is the formula for braggs law

A

nlambda = 2dhkl sin(theta)

34
Q

which superexchange is dominant in MnO

A

pi 180 superexchange shown by powder diffraction

35
Q

what is the (anti)ferromagnetic state of manganite perovskites

A

contains layers of ferromagnetism by superexchange with an antiferromagnetic structure

36
Q

what is a magnetisation curve like in a ferrimagnet

A

does not vary smoothly with T

has a compensation point

37
Q

what is a compensation point

A

where the magnetisation on each sublattice exactly cancelled

38
Q

give an example of an inorganic ferrimagnet and its structure

A

MFe2O4 M = divalent

cubic spinel

39
Q

state the magnetic properties of a spinel structure

A

M is diamagnetic
overall compound is paramagnetic
dominant exchange is AFM

40
Q

give details of inverse spinel magnetisation traits

A

AFM interactions cause Fe3+ ions cancel

magnetisation is determined by ordering of Mn2+

41
Q

what is the natural ordering in magnetite

A

strong superexchange interactions between ions

neighbouring ions interact by double exchange
