Wall NMR in the weak ferromagnets YCrO3 and LuCrO3

Complex NMR spectra, consisting of a maximum of six resonance lines, were observed in the domain walls of YCrO₃ and LuCrO₃ and studied as a function of temperature and the in-plane magnetic field. The distribution of the NMR frequency across the domain wall was calculated taking into account the anisotropy of hyperfine fields and quadrupolar interactions. The calculated frequency distribution was used to simulate the shape of the NMR spectra in YCrO₃. The analysis of theoretical spectra in the centext of our experimental results and in particular the asymmetric behaviour of resonance lines in a magnetic field indicate the critical importance of the relaxation processes on the shape of NMR spectra. This conclusion was confirmed by an experiment in which the relaxation was simulated in YFeO₃. The NMR spectrum in LuCrO₃ can be explained by the same model.     

The nuclear contribution to the specific heat of single crystals of YBa2Cu3O7 and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8

Specific heat data below 1 K of Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈ and YBa₂Cu₃O₇ are analyzed. For YBa₂Cu₃O₇ the nuclear specific heat, C_N, amounts to 38T⁻² μJ/mol K. C_N for Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈ exceeds that of YBa₂Cu₃O₇ by a factor of 15. The nuclear quadrupolar specific heat contribution alone is insufficient to explain the data for YBa₂Cu₃O₇, while lack of NQR data does not allow such a comparison in Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈ to be made. The contribution to C_N from nuclear spins coupled via the contact hyperfine interaction with correlated magnetic spins (in the CuO₂ plane) is derived as a function of the correlation length. This contribution can be treated independently from the quadrupolar term. We show that the excess specific heat in YBa₂Cu₃O₇ likely originates in a few percentage of an impurity (oxygen deficient) phase with a strong hyperfine field on the Cu nuclei.     

112型铁基化合物EuFeAs2的单晶生长与表征

铁基超导体中含有一类特殊的112型结构化合物,其层状结构中含有一层锯齿形的As链构型.本文报道了用CsCl助熔剂法生长新型铁基112型EuFeAs₂母体单晶的具体方法,以及对该单晶的结构和物性的详细表征.通过能量色散X射线能谱扫描对单晶样品进行的化学成分分析,以及单晶X射线衍射的结构解析,确定该单晶样品属于EuFeAs₂相,结构精修得到EuFeAs₂具有空间群为Imm2（No.44）的正交晶体结构,晶格常数分别是a=21.285（9）Å,b=3.9082（10）Å,c=3.9752（9）Å.通过低温电阻测量,发现在110 K附近和46 K附近存在两个异常电阻跳变.进一步分析表明,110 K附近存在两个邻近的相变,这两个相变与铁基母体材料中常见的结构相变和Fe²⁺的反铁磁相变相符合.结合磁化率测量分析,可知46 K附近的相变属于Eu²⁺的反铁磁相变.     

Muonium in ice

Muonium has been studied in single crystals of H₂O and D₂O. Two-frequency precession in low transverse fields and a single zero-field oscillation indicate a small anisotropy of axial symmetry in the muonium hyperfine interaction. The anisotropy is shown to be the cause of the hitherto unexplained temperature independent contribution to muonium spin relaxation in polycrystalline samples. Relaxation rates for 99 K–263 K are reported for muonium in a single crystal of H₂O. Relaxation is attributed to electron-nuclear dipolar coupling of muonium to lattice protons, modulated by translational diffusion of muonium alongc-axis channels of the ice lattice. A simple model for H and Mu diffusion in ice is investigated.This work was supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada through an Intermediate Energy Physics Project Grant.     

Molecular dynamics analysis of impurity ions behavior in β″-Al2O3

The effects of foreign impurity ions in the conduction plane on the β″-Al₂O₃ lattice have been analyzed by molecular dynamics. As impurity ions, K and Ca ions were chosen and Na sites in the conduction plane were replaced with these ions. Results are summarized as follows: (1) The β″-Al₂O₃ lattice expands perpendicular to the conduction plane when K ions are doped; (2) Ca ions do not contribute to expansions of the β″-Al₂O₃ lattice; (3) both K and Ca ions reduce the mean square displacement of Na ions, which can be attributed to decreased Na ion diffusion.

非等电子Sb替换Cu和Te后黄铜矿结构半导体Cu_3Ga_5Te_9的热电性能

热电材料是一类能够实现热与电相互转换的功能材料,在制冷和发电领域极具应用潜力.本文采用金属Sb元素非等电子替换Cu3Ga5Te9化学式中的Cu和Te,观察到材料Seebeck系数和电导率提升的现象.这些电学性能的改善与载流子浓度和有效质量的增大及迁移率基本维持不变有关.载流子浓度的提高是由于Sb原子占位在Te晶格位置后费米能级进入到价带所产生的空穴掺杂效应所致,同时也与Cu含量减少后铜空位(V-1Cu)浓度增大相关联.另外,非等电子替换后,阴离子(Te2-)移位导致了晶格结构缺陷参数u和η的改变,其改变量fiu和fiη与材料晶格热导率(κL)的变化密切相关.在766 K时,适量的Sb替换量使材料的最大热电优值(ZT)达到0.6,比Cu3Ga5Te9提高了近25%.因此,通过选择替换元素、被替换元素及替换量有效地调控了材料的电学及热学性能,在黄铜矿结构半导体中实现了非等电子元素替换改善热电性能的思想.

未掺杂聚乙炔中质子的自旋晶格弛豫——局域化的孤子

测量了未掺杂的顺式聚乙炔(cis-polyacetylene)、反式聚乙炔(trans-polyacetylene)和部分氘代的反式聚乙炔样品的质子自旋晶格驰豫时间T₁,测量了反式聚乙炔的旋转座标系中的质子自旋晶格弛豫时间T_1ρ。结果表明,反式聚乙炔中确实存在大量被称为孤子(Soliton)的自旋中心,它们是质子弛豫的支配因素。孤子是可动的,但又是局域化的。用局域化的孤子模型,不仅说明了T_1ρ过程的多指数型衰减,也解释了它的衰减速率不随温度和自旋锁定场强度而变化的特点。     

Suppression of antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation in Zn-substituted YBa2Cu3O7

We have prepared Zn-substituted YBa₂Cu_3−xZn_xO₇ (YBCO, x=0.0–0.09) and performed ^63,65Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements for the plane site at 300 and 100 K as a function of Zn concentration. The substitutional effects are observed in resonant frequencies and linewidths of spectra, and relaxation times as well as in the superconducting transition temperature. The spin–lattice relaxation rate 1/T₁ is reduced for the higher Zn concentration and the reduction is more significant at 100 K. The ratio of ^63,65Cu spin–lattice relaxation rates suggests that a magnetic contribution due to the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation becomes weak as the Zn concentration increases. These effects confirm that the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation of Cu 3d spins is suppressed by the Zn substitution due to the absence of local moment at the zinc site.

CaCu3Ti4O12 陶瓷介电模量响应特性的研究

由于CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂巨介电常数陶瓷的低频区直流电导较大, 本文采用模量 M"-f频谱表征与分析了低频和高频的两个松弛极化过程. 研究认为, 这两个特征峰属于晶界区Schottky 势垒耗尽层边缘深陷阱的电子松弛过程, 其中高频松弛峰起源于晶粒本征缺陷的电子松弛过程, 而低频松弛峰则为与氧空位有关的松弛极化过程. 对于CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂这类低频下具有高直流电导的陶瓷材料, 采用模量频谱能更有效地分析研究其损耗极化机理. 关键词： 3Ti₄O₁₂陶瓷')" href="#">CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂陶瓷 模量 松弛过程 电导     

微波低温制备Mg2Si0.4Sn0.6-yBiy热电材料的传输机理

德拜弛豫理论表明, 在频率为2.45 GHz的外加交变电磁场的作用下, 微波对极性分子的极化过程约为10^-10 s, 因此利用微波固相反应可以在短时低温条件下制备出纳米粉体材料. 本文以MgH₂代替Mg粉, 利用微波固相反应在低温下制备了Mg₂Si_0.4Sn_0.6-yBi_y (0 ≤y ≤q 0.03)固溶体, 并结合单带抛物线计算模型对其热电传输机理进行了分析. 研究结果表明: 利用该工艺可以有效抑制Mg的挥发和MgO 的生成, 在400 ℃保温15 min内即可完成MgH₂与Si粉和Sn粉的固相反应, 获得片层间距为100 nm的超细化学计量比产物; 杂质Bi的引入可以有效增加载流子浓度, 并引起晶格畸变, 在晶格畸变和样品特有的纳米片层结构的协同作用下, 声子得到有效散射, 样品具有最低的热导率1.36 W·m^-1·K^-1. 较低的有效掺杂率和复杂的能带结构具有降低能带态密度有效质量和减小载流子弛豫时间的双刃效应, 使得本征激发提前, 在600 K样品取得最大ZT值为0.66.     

Mn-Mg共掺杂AlON荧光粉制备及荧光性质

采用固相反应法成功合成了一系列Mn-Mg共掺的Al₂₃O₂₇N₅荧光粉。结果显示煅烧条件和Mn的掺杂浓度对Mn-Mg共掺的AlON荧光粉的制备和发光性质都有重要影响。获得纯相AlON的温度从未掺杂的1 900 ℃下降到10% Mn和10% Mg(摩尔分数)共掺杂的1 800 ℃。晶格参数随着Mn掺杂浓度升高而增加,说明Mn进入了AlON晶格中。未掺杂和Mg单掺以及10% Mn和10% Mg共掺杂样品的发射光谱都含有一个350～600 nm之间的宽带发射。绿光发射归属于Mn的3d电子之间的传输。蓝光发射可能与杂质或Al空位相关。     

Ca2+掺杂对CdO多晶热电性能的影响

以CaCO₃作为Ca²⁺源, 利用传统固相烧结法制备了Cd_1-xCa_xO (x=0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05) 多晶块体样品并研究了Ca²⁺掺杂对CdO高温热电性能的影响. CaCO₃的掺入会导致CdO多晶载流子浓度降低, 使Cd_1-xCa_xO的电阻率ρ和塞贝克系数的绝对值|S|增大、电子热导率κ_e减小. 同时, 在CdO中掺入CaCO₃会引入点缺陷和气孔并可抑制CdO晶粒长大、晶界增多, 从而增加了对声子的散射, 使样品的声子热导率κ_p减小. 由于总热导率的大幅降低, Cd_0.99Ca_0.01O多晶样品在1000 K时的热电优值ZT可达0.42, 比本征CdO提高了约27%, 为迄今n型氧化物热电材料报道的最好结果之一.

研究了Tb掺杂对双层锰氧化物La_(4/3)Sr_(5/3)Mn_2O_7磁熵变和电输运性质的影响.样品采用传统固相反应法制备,两样品的名义组分可以表示为(La_(1-x)Tb_x)_(4/3)Sr_(5/3)Mn_2O_7(x=0,0.025),磁场为7 T时的最大磁熵变?S_M分别为-4.60 J/(kg·K)和-4.18 J/(kg·K).比较后发现,Tb元素的掺杂使得最大磁熵变值减小,但同时增大了相对制冷温区.电性测量结果表明,x=0.025的样品在高温区的导电机制可以用小极化子模型解释,与母体三维变程跳跃模型不同;当温度降低至三维长程铁磁有序温度(T_c~(3D))附近时,掺杂样品发生金属绝缘相变;掺杂后样品在T_c~(3D)附近,磁电阻取得极大值(约为56%),表明是本征磁电阻效应.

Molecular dynamics in solid riboflavin as studied by 1H NMR

Spin–lattice relaxation times T₁ and T_1d as well as NMR second moment were employed to study the molecular dynamics of riboflavin (vitamin B₂) in the temperature range 55–350 K. The broad and flat T₁ minimum observed at low temperatures is attributed to the motion of two nonequivalent methyl groups. The motion of the methyl groups is interpreted in terms of Haupt's theory, which takes into account the tunneling assisted relaxation. An additional mechanism of relaxation in the high temperature region is provided by the motion of a proton in one of the hydroxyl groups. The Davidson–Cole distribution of correlation times for this motion is assumed.
