Material Saturation Magnetization at Room Temperature Curie Temperature (K) Melting Point (K)... 

Yamada et al. [9,10] demonstrated that the copolymers were ferroelectric over a wide range of molar composition and that, at room temperature, they could be poled with an electric field much more readily than the PVF2 homopolymer. The main points highlighting the ferroelectric character of these materials can be summarized as follows (a) At a certain temperature, that depends on the copolymer composition, they present a solid-solid crystal phase transition. The crystalline lattice spacings change steeply near the transition point, (b) The relationship between the electric susceptibility e and temperature fits well the Curie-Weiss equation, (c) The remanent polarization of the poled samples reduces to zero at the transition temperature (Curie temperature, Tc). (d) The volume fraction of ferroelectric crystals is directly proportional to the remanent polarization, (e) The critical behavior for the dielectric relaxation is observed at Tc. 

By increasing the temperature of a ferromagnetic you can reach a point at which the ferromagnetic character disappears and the material becomes paramagnetic. This is called the Curie temperature. Curie temperatures of some ferromagnetic sustances are iron 770 °C, nickel 358 °C and cobalt 1123 °C. 

Equation (A2.5.20) is the Curie-Weiss law, and the temperature at which the magnetic susceptibility becomes infinite, is the Curie temperature. Below this temperature the substance shows spontaneous magnetization and is ferromagnetic. Nonnally the Curie temperature lies between 1 and 10 K. However, typical ferromagnetic materials like iron have very much larger values for quantum-mechanical reasons that will not be pursued here.

The exchange energy coefficient M characterizes the energy associated with the (anti)paraHel coupling of the ionic moments. It is direcdy proportional to the Curie temperature T (70). Experimental values have been derived from domain-width observations (69). Also the temperature dependence has been determined. It appears thatM is rather stable up to about 300°C. Because the Curie temperatures and the unit cell dimensions are rather similar, about the same values forM may be expected for BaM and SrM. 

There is often a wide range of crystalline soHd solubiUty between end-member compositions. Additionally the ferroelectric and antiferroelectric Curie temperatures and consequent properties appear to mutate continuously with fractional cation substitution. Thus the perovskite system has a variety of extremely usehil properties. Other oxygen octahedra stmcture ferroelectrics such as lithium niobate [12031 -63-9] LiNbO, lithium tantalate [12031 -66-2] LiTaO, the tungsten bron2e stmctures, bismuth oxide layer stmctures, pyrochlore stmctures, and order—disorder-type ferroelectrics are well discussed elsewhere (4,12,22,23). 

From the write and read process sketched so far, some requirements for MO media can be derived (/) a high perpendicular, uniaxial magnetic anisotropy K in order to enable readout with the polar Kerr effect (2) a magnetoopticady active layer with a sufficient figure of merit R 0- where R is the reflectivity and the Kerr angle (T) a Curie temperature between 400 and 600 K, the lower limit to enable stable domains at room temperature and the upper limit because of the limited laser power for writing. 

The magnetic moments of the heavy RE elements (Gd, Tb, Dy, etc) are coupled antiparallel to the magnetic moments of the TM elements (Fe, Co, etc). The REj TM alloys are therefore ferrimagnetic below their Curie temperature (T )- The heavy TM moments form one magnetic sublattice and the RE moments the other one. In contrast, the light RE moments (eg, Nd, Pr) couple parallel to the moments of TM. The RE spia is always antiparallel to the TM spia, but for the light RE elements, the orbital momentum is coupled antiparallel to the spia and larger than the spia. 

Figure 10 presents the Curie temperature (T ) vs the TM-content (x) for Co- and Fe-based biaary alloys. Alloying rare-earth elements with small amounts of transition metals (x < 0.2) leads to a decrease ia Curie temperature. This is particularly obvious ia the Gd—Co system where it corresponds to a nonmagnetic dilution similar to that of Cu (41,42). This iadicates that TM atoms experience no exchange coupling unless they are surrounded by a minimum number j of other TM atoms. The critical number is j = 5 for Fe and j = 7 for Co. The steep iacrease of for Co-based alloys with x about 0.7 is based on this effect. 

None of the biaary compounds with this composition is well matched to the needs of MO recording. Gd—Fe has too high a Curie temperature and has an in-plane anisotropy. Tp is too low for binary alloys such as Tb—Fe and Dy—Fe. Co-based alloys which exhibit a close to room temperature have...
