Self-magnetic compensation and shifted hysteresis loops in ferromagnetic samarium systems
Self-magnetic compensation and shifted hysteresis loops in ferromagnetic samarium systems
For ${\text{Sm}}^{3+}$ ions in a vast majority of metallic systems, the following interesting scenario has been conjured up for long, namely, a magnetic lattice of tiny self- (spin-orbital) compensated $4f$-moments exchange coupled (and phase reversed) to the polarization in the conduction band. We report here the identification of a self-compensation …
