Angular momentum compensation manipulation to room temperature of the ferrimagnet Ho$_{3-x}$Dy$_x$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ detected by the Barnett effect

Abstract: We demonstrate that the angular momentum compensation temperature $T_A$, at which the net angular momentum in the sample disappears, can be controlled in Ho$3$Fe$_5$O${12}$ by partially substituting Dy for Ho. The $T_A$ can be detected using the Barnett effect, by which mechanical rotation magnetizes an object due to spin-rotation coupling. We found that $T_A$ increases with the Dy content and clarified that the $T_A$ of Ho${1.5}$Dy${1.5}$Fe$5$O${12}$ coincides with room temperature. The Barnett effect enables us to explore materials applicable to magnetic devices utilizing the angular momentum compensation only by rotating the powder sample at room temperature.
