Single-phase $varepsilon$-(FeCo)xN compound particles with $x$ = 2.25–2.48 were synthesized using ammonia gas nitrification. The mass magnetization $M$ at 10 K under a magnetic field of 9 T was 77 A$cdot$m$^{2}$/kg, and Curie temperature $T$C was 100 K for $x$ = 2.48. These values decreased with increasing nitrogen content. Compared with $varepsilon$-FexN, (FeCo)xN had significantly lower $M$ and $T$C values, even at comparable nitrogen content. Mössbauer spectroscopy suggests that the magnetic moment of Co decreases with increasing nitrogen content and disappears at approximately $x$ = 2.35, even at the lowest measurement temperature of $T$ = 3 K. Griffiths phaselike magnetic behavior was observed in the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility. The experimental results indicate that the Fe–Fe interaction may change from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic at $x$ = 2.25 when the nitrogen content is low.

In this study, micromagnetic simulations of a magnetic skyrmion reshuffling chamber for probabilistic computing applications are performed. The skyrmion shuffling chamber is modeled with a custom current density masking technique to capture current density variation, grain boundary variations, and anisotropy changes. The results show that the skyrmion oscillatory dynamics contribute to the system's stochasticity, allowing uncorrelated signals to be achieved with a single chamber. Our findings indicate that uncorrelated signals are generally achieved at all temperatures simulated, with the skyrmion diameter playing a role in the resulting stochasticity. Furthermore, we find that local temperature control has the benefit of not affecting the overall skyrmion diameter, while still perturbing the skyrmion trajectory. The results from varying chamber size, global temperature, and local temperature are analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and p-value. This research contributes to the development of tunable probabilistic computing devices and artificial synapses using magnetic skyrmions.

Low energy barrier magnet (LBM) technology has recently been proposed as a candidate for accelerating algorithms based on energy minimization and probabilistic graphs because their physical characteristics have a one-to-one mapping onto the primitives of these algorithms. Many of these algorithms have a much higher tolerance for error compared to high-accuracy numerical computation. LBM, however, is a nascent technology, and devices show high sample-to-sample variability. In this letter, we take a deep dive into the overall fidelity afforded by this technology in providing computational primitives for these algorithms. We show, that while the computed results show finite deviations from zero-variability devices, the margin of error is almost always certifiable to a certain percentage. This suggests that LBM technology could be a viable candidate as an accelerator for popular emerging paradigms of computing.

Possible average alignments of the spins in the ground state and the phase transitions of a geometrically frustrated Ising antiferromagnet in the presence of magnetic fields on a triangular lattice are studied in a mean field approximation. Starting from a zero-field clock phase, we can determine the phase boundaries from the curves of magnetic moments and their derivatives as functions of the fields. We also analyze the behavior of sublattice magnetic moments under the effect of the fields. The experimental relevances for TmMgGaO 4
