Chiral magnetic order

A comprehensive overview on SPSTS concerning the magnetic spin structure with atomic resolution, of nanoscaled wires, nanoscaled elements with magnetic vortex stmctures, and chiral magnetic order is given in [143],... 

The preparation of chiral magnetic materials is not limited to those that show paramagnetism and magnetic ordering. Another important phenomenon is that of spin crossover, as it can lead to bistable systems, that in addition can be switched by light [213,214]. A homochiral spin crossover... 

There are many parameters could affect the pitch of N -LCs, such as ionic strength, drying temperature, suspension concentration, magnetic field [22] and sonication [23, 24]. Interestingly, the chiral nematic orders can be retained after evaporation of the... 

We have reviewed the electronic properties of CNTs probed by magnetic measurements. MW- and SWCNTs can individually be produced, however, the parameters of CNTs are uncontrollable, such as diameter, length, chirality and so on, at the present stage. Since the features of CNTs may depend on the synthesis and purification methods, some different experimental observation on CNT properties has been reported. It is important, however, that most of papers have clarified metallic CNTs are actually present in both MW- and SWCNTs. The characteristic of CESR of SWCNTs is different from that on non-annealed MWCNTs, but rather similar to that on annealed multi-walled ones. The relationship of the electronic properties between SW- and MWCNTs has not yet been fully understood. The accurate control in parameter of CNTs is necessary in order to discuss more details of CNTs in future. 

At lower temperatures, the standard 3D helical order with all chains having not only the same chirality but also the same phase can be established. The two magnetic phase transitions present very different features. In fact, the transition to the... 

Then, there are model Hamiltonians. Effectively a model Hamiltonian includes only some effects, in order to focus on those effects. It is generally simpler than the true full Coulomb Hamiltonian, but is made that way to focus on a particular aspect, be it magnetization, Coulomb interaction, diffusion, phase transitions, etc. A good example is the set of model Hamiltonians used to describe the IETS experiment and (more generally) vibronic and vibrational effects in transport junctions. Special models are also used to deal with chirality in molecular transport junctions [42, 43], as well as optical excitation, Raman excitation [44], spin dynamics, and other aspects that go well beyond the simple transport phenomena associated with these systems.

The study of chiral materials with nonlinear optical properties might lead to new insights to design completely new materials for applications in the field of nonlinear optics and photonics. For example, we showed that chiral supramolecular organization can significantly enhance the second-order nonlinear optical response of materials and that magnetic contributions to the nonlinearity can further optimize the second-order nonlinearity. Again, a clear relationship between molecular structure, chirality, and nonlinearity is needed to fully exploit the properties of chiral materials in nonlinear optics. 

Now, let us consider a system where an achiral molecule (A) and a chiral molecule (C) have a fixed mutual orientation. An electronic transition of the achiral molecule from the ground state z(0> to the excited state Aa, higher in energy by E0a, has a zero-order (non-perturbed) electric dipole moment po0 and an orthogonal magnetic dipole moment ma0. These moments are increased in the molecular pair (A -C) by first-order dynamic coupling as ... 

Not mentioned in Table 2 (and often not in the original papers ) is the optical form (chirality) of the amino acids used. All the amino acids, except for glycine (R = H), contain an asymmetric carbon atom (the C atom). In the majority of cases the optical form used, whether l, d or racemic dl, makes little difference to the stability constants, but there are some notable exceptions (vide infra). Examination of the data in Table 2 reveals (i) that the order of stability constants for the divalent transition metal ions follows the Irving-Williams series (ii) that for the divalent transition metal ions, with excess amino acid present at neutral pH, the predominant spedes is the neutral chelated M(aa)2 complex (iii) that the species formed reflect the stereochemical preferences of the metal ions, e.g. for Cu 1 a 2 1 complex readily forms but not a 3 1 ligand metal complex (see Volume 5, Chapter 53). Confirmation of the species proposed from analysis of potentiometric data and information on the mode of bonding in solution has involved the use of an impressive array of spectroscopic techniques, e.g. UV/visible, IR, ESR, NMR, CD and MCD (magnetic circular dichroism). 

We have considered here the influence of dispersion asymmetry and Zee-man splitting on the Josephson current through a superconductor/quantum wire/superconductor junction. We showed that the violation of chiral symmetry in a quantum wire results in qualitatively new effects in a weak superconductivity. In particularly, the interplay of Zeeman and Rashba interactions induces a Josephson current through the hybrid ID structure even in the absence of any phase difference between the superconductors. At low temperatures (T critical Josephson current. For a transparent junction with small or moderate dispersion asymmetry (characterized by the dimensionless parameter Aa = (vif — v2f)/(vif + V2f)) it appears, as a function of the Zeeman splitting Az, abruptly at Az hvp/L. In a low transparency (D Josephson current at special (resonance) conditions is of the order of yfD. In zero magnetic field the anomalous supercurrent disappears (as it should) since the spin-orbit interaction itself respects T-symmetry. However, the influence of the spin-orbit interaction on the critical Josephson current through a quasi-ID structure is still anomalous. Contrary to what holds... 

Vra / ft ) is the quadrupole coupling constant. The matrix of S values represents the order parameters, and they give the alignment of the compound with respect to the applied magnetic field. They can be, and usually are, defined in terms of a molecular-fixed coordinate system. S is a symmetrical 3x3 matrix, and the sum of the diagonal elements of S is zero, so that in a molecular-fixed coordinate system, the number of components of the S matrix varies from 5 for compounds with no elements of symmetry, such as chiral species, to 1 for entities with a C3 or higher axis of symmetry.
