Abstract
In the paper we present a computational study of a model involving Hubbard dimer located at the surface, with parallel or perpendicular orientation possible. The dimer is immersed in electric field and inhomogeneous magnetic field, moreover, the charge transfer between the dimer and the surface is controlled by the chemical potential. The thermodynamic description is based on exact diagonalization within grand canonical ensemble formalism and focused on determination of dimer orientation, magnetization and electric polarization. The phase diagrams for ground state and finite temperatures are constructed and discussed. The possibility of cross-overs between the parallel and the perpendicular dimer orientation under the influence of the electric or magnetic field is demonstrated. The cross-overs are accompanied by the changes in such thermodynamic quantities as magnetization and electric polarization. The calculations enable the extensive discussion of the magneto-electro-spatial phase transitions in the system.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials provides an important forum for the disclosure and discussion of original contributions covering the whole spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to the technology and applications of magnetic materials. The journal encourages greater interaction between the basic and applied sub-disciplines of magnetism with comprehensive review articles, in addition to full-length contributions. In addition, other categories of contributions are welcome, including Critical Focused issues, Current Perspectives and Outreach to the General Public.
Main Categories:
Full-length articles:
Technically original research documents that report results of value to the communities that comprise the journal audience. The link between chemical, structural and microstructural properties on the one hand and magnetic properties on the other hand are encouraged.
In addition to general topics covering all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, the full-length articles also include three sub-sections, focusing on Nanomagnetism, Spintronics and Applications.
The sub-section on Nanomagnetism contains articles on magnetic nanoparticles, nanowires, thin films, 2D materials and other nanoscale magnetic materials and their applications.
The sub-section on Spintronics contains articles on magnetoresistance, magnetoimpedance, magneto-optical phenomena, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and other topics related to spin current control and magneto-transport phenomena. The sub-section on Applications display papers that focus on applications of magnetic materials. The applications need to show a connection to magnetism.
Review articles:
Review articles organize, clarify, and summarize existing major works in the areas covered by the Journal and provide comprehensive citations to the full spectrum of relevant literature.
