Frequency Adapted Phase Transition of Interacting Nano-Magnetic Ensemble

Abstract

Each single domain nano-magnet acts as a magnetic dipole in addition it oscillates its magnetization about the easy axis and rotates coherently depending upon temperature and anisotropy. In an ensemble of nano-magnets, the relaxation time of a nano-magnet tunes with the long range dipolar interaction which in turn is determined by the particle size, density and the number of nano-magnets present in the ensemble. Hence, the aggregation of interacting nano-magnetic dipoles, demonstrates both experimentally and theoretically as a model system to detect intriguing co-operative physical phenomena. Here we show a new variant of phase transition from paramagnetic to diamagnetic phase by changing the frequency of the applied sinusoidal magnetic field for a nano-magnetic ensemble. This phenomenon unravels a new insight of physics and it may be significant on the design and development of magnetic devices. The simulation of the system is well in agreement with the experimental results.
