Article Analysis of the Magnetization as a Function of the Magnetic Field at the Transition Temperature for La0.6nd0.4mn2si2(Springer, 2015) Yurtseven, H.; Dogan, E. Kilit; Emre, B.; Acet, M.We analyze in this study our experimental data for the magnetization (M) as a function of the magnetic field (H) at various constant temperatures for the multilayer structure of La Nd-0.6 Mn-0.4 Si-2 (2) close to the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic transitions. This analysis is performed at the transition temperatures (T (c)) for the M vs. H- H (c) (H (c) is the critical field) according to a power-law formula above and below H (c), and the values of the critical isotherm delta are deduced for La Nd-0.6 Mn-0.4 Si-2 (2). We also calculate the magnetic field (H- H (c)) dependence of the isothermal susceptibility chi (T) at constant temperatures above and below H (c), and we obtain the critical behaviour of chi (T) for this multilayer structure. Our delta values indicate that the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic transition in La Nd-0.6 Mn-0.4 Si-2 (2) changes its character from a first order (discontinuous) toward a second-order (continuous) one as the constant temperature changes.Article Calculation of the H-T Phase Diagram, Magnetization and Susceptibility in Layered Structures(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Yurtseven, H.; Dogan, E. Kilit; Emre, B.; Acet, M.The magnetic Field-temperature (H-T) phase diagram is calculated using the mean held theory by expanding the free energy in terms of the uniform and staggered magnetization for the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic transitions in the La0.6Nd0.4Mn2Si2 multilayer structures. Using our experimental measurements, analysis of the magnetization as a function of the magnetic held at constant temperatures from 45 K to 250 K is performed by a power-law formula close to the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic transitions. Also, by obtaining the magnetic field dependence of the isothermal susceptibility chi(T) from the M-H curves, chi(T) vs. H-H-c, is analyzed (H-c is the critical magnetic field) using a powerlaw formula for the antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic (AF-FM) transitions in La0.6Nd0.4Mn2Si2. It is found that a discontinuous (first order) transition which occurs at the lowest (45 K) and the highest (250 K) temperatures, changes to a continuous one at a constant temperature at around 100 K as the magnetic Field carries the systems from the antiferromagnetic to the ferromagnetic phase. Values of the critical exponents associated with this transition are deduced and they are compared with the predictions of some theoretical models. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
