Magnetism and Verwey transition in magnetite nanoparticles in thin polymer film

Magnetic and structural properties of magnetite nanoparticles stabilized in polyvinyl-alcohol thin films are investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and static magnetometry techniques. The nanoparticles have well-defined crystallinity, and are superparamagnetic at room temperature. Their size distribution is characterized by the distinct log-normal law (with average diameters near 5-7 nm) and slight maximum near 70-80 nm. The EPR spectra and static magnetization data demonstrated pronounced anomalies in the interval between 130 K (corresponding to Verwey transition) and 200 K. The experimental data obtained can be understood on the basis of the half-metallic electronic structure, complex temperature behavior of the magnetic anisotropy, along with effects of "weak magnetic-electron" sublattice of magnetite.

Interaction-induced enhancement of $g$-factor in graphene

We study the effect of electron interaction on the spin-splitting and the $g$-factor in graphene in perpendicular magnetic field using the Hartree and Hubbard approximations within the Thomas-Fermi model. We found that the $g$-factor is enhanced in comparison to its free electron value $g=2$ and oscillates as a function of the filling factor $ν$ in the range $2\leq g^{\ast}\lesssim 4$ reaching maxima at even $ν$ and minima at odd $ν$. We outline the role of charged impurities in the substrate, which are shown to suppress the oscillations of the $g^{\ast}$-factor. This effect becomes especially pronounced with the increase of the impurity concentration, when the effective $g$-factor becomes independent of the filling factor reaching a value of $g^{\ast}\approx 2.3$. A relation to the recent experiment is discussed.
