R型铁氧体BaFe4-xTi2+xO11的化学组态以及磁性行为的研究

本文通过传统的固相反应法制备了R型六角铁氧体BaFe_4-xTi_2+xO₁₁ (x= 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1), 并且对它的原子价态以及磁性行为进行了研究. X 射线光电子能谱(XPS)结果显示了随着掺杂含量的增加, 体系中Fe³⁺离子逐渐减少而Fe²⁺离子逐渐增加. 由于具有非对称结构的阻挫晶格中存在各种关联作用的竞争, 使得BaFe_4-xTi_2+xO₁₁体系表现出了复杂的磁有序行为, 在T₁～250 K和T₂～83 K两处存在磁转变. 对这一系列掺杂样品, 在相变温度T₁之上表现顺磁行为, 而在相变温度T₂前后的磁化强度都表现出低场下随磁场的增加快速增加, 高场下则线性变化且在5×10⁴ Oe时还未达到饱和的行为, 表明这一系列掺杂样品是典型的倾斜反铁磁态(canted antiferromagnetic) 或者亚铁磁态.     

La_(2/3/)Sr_(1/3)MnO_3单晶的低场磁热效应

本文对La2/3Sr1/3MnO3单晶中b和a(c)轴方向的磁热效应进行了研究,由于晶体的磁晶各向异性,磁热效应表现出一定的各向异性.通过不同温度下的等温起始磁化曲线的实验分析表明,在外加场为10kOe的情况下,b和a(c)轴方向的磁熵变-ΔSM(H)在370K达到最大值,分别为1.942Jkg-1K-1和1.873Jkg-1K-1.低场下较大的磁熵变是由于磁化强度随外场迅速变化以及自旋-晶格的耦合造成的.La2/3Sr1/3MnO3单晶在低场下表现出相对较大的磁热效应,表明其在磁制冷方面有一定的潜在应用价值.     

钙钛矿钴氧化物La_(0.5-x)Nd_xSr_(0.5)CoO_3(x=0,0.1,0.15)的磁性和电输运性质

本文采用传统固相反应法制备多晶La_(0.5-x)Nd_xSr_(0.5)CoO_3(x=0,0.1,0.15)系列样品,通过测量其磁化强度与温度变化曲线(M~T)、磁化强度与外场变化曲线(M~H)、电子自旋共振谱(ESR)和电阻率与温度变化曲线(ρ~T)对样品的磁性和电输运性质进行了研究.结果表明:由于Nd~(3+)离子掺杂,使得系统中Co~(3+)和Co~(4+)离子之间的铁磁耦合增大,自旋与晶格的耦合作用增强,从而导致掺杂前后样品的磁性方面发生了改变:样品的铁磁转变温度TC和磁熵变值|ΔSM|均随掺杂量x的增加而增大,三个样品的TC分别为:190K、205K和233K,x=0.0样品在TC附近的相变为二级相变,x=0.1和x=0.15样品在TC附近的相变为一级相变.同样的,Nd~(3+)离子掺杂使得样品在电输运性质方面也发生了改变:由于Nd~(3+)离子掺杂,体系内Co离子的自旋态和无序性等均发生改变,从而使x=0.1样品中铁磁导电区域增大,尽管x=0.0和x=0.1样品均表现出绝缘体行为,但是随着掺杂量x的增加,电阻率大幅降低.     

Co替代La2／3Ca1／3Mn0．9Co0．1O3输运特性和双峰效应的研究

系统研究了Mn位替代的La2/3Ca2/3Mn0.9Co0.1O3的电输运特性和磁诱导行为,这里替代Co离子的多价态对应有多重的自旋态变化.发现了存在于Co替代La2/3Ca1/3Mn0.9Co0.1O3电输运行为上的双峰效应,具体表现为除了居里温度Tc附近电阻-温度曲线的金属-绝缘(M-I)转变行为(TMIH约为182K)以外,在低温区域电输运行为出现二次性的类M-I转变现象(TMIL乱约为124K).通过对外加磁场下输运特性的研究表明,随外加磁场的增加,电阻-温度曲线整体呈现降低行为,即表现为负的磁电阻效应;同时,高温区峰值温度TMIH向高温区移动,这与传统CMR锰氧化物M-I转变特性完全一致;而低温峰值温度了TMIL则几乎不变,即TMIL表现出某种磁场无关的特征.结合样品磁特性测量结果,我们发现,除了场冷(FC)和零场冷(ZFC)曲线的分叉现象可能证明Co替代诱导Mn位的磁无序而导致体系出现不均匀的铁磁/反铁磁(FM/AFM)团簇外,在低温峰值温度TMIL乱附近没有观察到磁性异常变化.对照对Cu和Cr等相关体系的类似研究,证明这种低温二次M-I转变可能与Co替代导致体系的氧缺陷有关.     

高压调控的磁性量子临界点和非常规超导电性

通过化学掺杂或者施加高压等调控手段抑制长程磁有序可以实现磁性量子临界点,在其附近往往伴随出现诸如非费米液体行为或者非常规超导电性等奇特物理现象.相比于化学掺杂,高压调控具有不引入晶格无序和精细调控等优点.利用能提供良好静水压环境的立方六面砧和活塞-圆筒高压低温测量装置,首先系统研究了具有双螺旋磁有序结构的CrAs和MnP单晶的高压电输运行为,分别在P_c≈0.8 GPa和8 GPa实现了它们的磁性量子临界点,并在P_c附近分别观察到T_c=2 K和1 K的超导电性,相继实现了铬基和锰基化合物超导体零的突破;然后,详细测量了FeSe单晶高压下的电阻率和交流磁化率,绘制了详尽的温度-压力相图,揭示了电子向列序、长程反铁磁序和超导相之间的相互竞争关系,特别是在接近磁有序消失的临界点P_c≈6GPa附近观察到T_c~(max)=38.5K的高温超导电性,表明临界反铁磁涨落对FeSe中的高温超导电性起重要作用.     

Mn 位 Al 掺杂的六角结构 YMn1-xAlxO3(0≤x ≤0.1)单晶的磁性及受挫调制

用光学浮区法生长了 Mn 位 Al 掺杂的六角结构 YMn1 -x Alx O3 系列单晶样品, 对该样品的掺杂效应及磁受挫性质进行了研究. 结果发现, 在 YMnO3 的 Mn3 + 位掺入不同浓度的非磁性 Al3 + 离子对样品的磁化特性有很大的影响. 随着掺杂浓度的增加, 居里-外斯温度明显降低, 磁性受挫因子f 减小, 反铁磁转变温度向低温方向移动.由于 Al3 + 离子半径比 Mn3 + 小, 掺杂使得系统的晶格常数变小, Mn-Mn 键长变短, 最终导致交换积分减小. 另外, 由于非磁性的 Al3 + 离子部分替代 Mn3 + 离子直接破坏了 Mn3 + 离子间的交换路径, 结果使得体系的几何受挫被抑制,反铁磁转变温度降低, Mn3 + - Mn3 + 之间的 AFM 相互作用被大大削弱.     

一种在室温下具有强磁介电耦合的钙钛矿型金属有机框架介电材料

磁电耦合材料在下一代存储器件中具有巨大的潜在应用, 其中钙钛矿型多铁性金属有机框架材料因其易于实现对磁性和电性的调控而受到广泛关注. 在这项工作中, 我们将Cr2+ 引入到[NH4 ][Mn(HCOO)3 ]晶体框架中. 当Cr2+ 掺杂比例为2.38%时, 铁电有序温度从零掺杂的231 K 上升到270 K, 在外加5 T 磁场作用下, 其铁电有序温度从零场的270 K 提高到296 K, 磁介电系数达到154%, 金属有机框架表现出明显的磁介电效应. 这个结果表明, 引入Cr2+ 离子作为晶体结构的构建块, 是合成具有较高磁介电耦合效应材料的一种可行性方法.     

Eu_(0.9)M_(0.1)TiO_3(M=Ca,Sr,Ba,La,Ce,Sm)的磁性和磁热效应

EuTi0_3是直接带隙半导体材料,在液氦温度附近呈现反铁磁性,且具有较大的磁熵变,但是当其转变为铁磁性时,可以有效提高低磁场下的磁熵变.本文通过元素替代,研究晶格常数的变化和电子掺杂对磁性和磁热效应的影响.实验采用溶胶凝胶法制备EuTiO_3和Eu_(0.9)M_(0.1)TiO_3 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba, La, Ce, Sm)系列样品.结果表明:大离子半径的碱土金属离子替代提高了铁磁性耦合,有利于提高低磁场下的磁热效应.电子掺杂可以抑制其反铁磁性耦合从而使其表现为铁磁性.当大离子半径的稀土La和Ce离子替代Eu离子时,既增大了晶格常数也实现了电子掺杂,表现出较强的铁磁性.在1 T的磁场变化下,Eu_(0.9)La_(0.1)TiO_3和Eu_(0.9)Ce_(0.1)TiO_3的最大磁熵变分别为10.8和11 J/(kg·K),均大于EuTi0_3的9.8 J/(kg·K);制冷能力分别为39.3和51.8 J/kg,相对于EuTi0_3也有所提高.     

尖晶石氧化物CoCr2O4的多铁性研究

为深入理解化合物CoCr₂O₄奇特的多铁性行为,结合尖晶石晶格结构特点,考虑近邻A-A、A-B、B-B及B位离子间次近邻交换耦合的影响,构建经典海森堡自旋模型对磁致铁电行为进行描述,并采用蒙特卡罗模拟对模型进行求解.重点考察不同磁交换耦合作用下,外磁场对体系磁化行为和电极化行为的调控.结果表明：子晶格B1离子贡献了体系的宏观磁化强度和电极化强度;近邻A-A和B位次近邻交换耦合参数的改变对子晶格A位磁性离子的磁电行为没有影响,但对B位离子的磁化强度和电极化强度有显著的调制作用,尤其是来源于子晶格B1的电极化强度对B位次近邻交换耦合参数的改变极为敏感;这些结果反映了立方尖晶石磁结构中A位和B位磁性离子环境及分布对称性的差异.     

Low temperature electron spin resonance of the Kondo ion in a heavy fermion metal: YbRh2Si2

We report an electron spin resonance (ESR) study on single crystals of the heavy fermion metal YbRh2Si2 which shows pronounced non-Fermi liquid behavior related to a close antiferromagnetic quantum critical point. It is shown that the observed ESR spectra can be ascribed to a bulk Yb3+ resonance. This is the first observation of ESR of the Kondo ion itself in a dense Kondo lattice system. The ESR signal occurs below the Kondo temperature (T(K)) which thus indicates the existence of large unscreened Yb3+ moments below T(K). We observe the spin dynamics as well as the static magnetic properties of the Yb3+ spins to be consistent with the results of nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic susceptibility.     

Spin liquid state in the S = 1/2 triangular lattice Ba3CuSb2O9

The synthesis and characterization of Ba3CuSb2O9, which has a layered array of Cu2+ spins in a triangular lattice, are reported. The magnetic susceptibility and neutron scattering experiments of this material show no magnetic ordering down to 0.2 K with a θ(CW) = -55 K. The magnetic specific heat reveals a T-linear dependence with a γ = 43.4 mJ K(-2) mol(-1) below 1.4 K. These observations suggest that Ba3CuSb2O9 is a new quantum spin liquid candidate with a S = 1/2 triangular lattice.     

Magnetic properties of hole-doped SCGO, SrCr(8)Ga(4-x)M(x)O(19) (M?=?Zn, Mg, Cu)

We report changes in the magnetic properties of hole-doped SCGO, SrCr8Ga4O19, induced by replacing non-magnetic Ga3+ with both non-magnetic (Mg2+ and Zn2+) and magnetic (Cu2+) cations. The resulting solid solutions, SrCr(8)Ga(4-x)M(x)O(19) (M = Zn, Mg, Cu) have been studied by x-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements. For all cases, at least 10% of Ga can be replaced by divalent cations resulting in oxidation of ≥5% of the Cr3+ d3 to Cr4+ (d2). The hole doping results in an increase in ferromagnetic interactions and reduces the magnetic frustration. In the SrCr(8)Ga(4-x)Cu(x)O(19) series an enhancement of the spin-glass-like transition is observed, T(f)～ 6 K, which we ascribe to the magnetic nature of the Cu2+ (d9) dopant.     

57Fe Mössbauer spectra and magnetic data from the kagomé antiferromagnet H3O-jarosite

⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra are presented from (H₃O)Fe₃(SO₄)₂(OH)₆ (or H₃O-jarosite), which is a model kagomé antiferromagnet which features geometrical frustration and spin-glass-like behaviour. Dynamic scaling of the freezing temperature as a function of frequency is observed over a large frequency range, which indicates the presence of a spin-glass transition. A fast relaxation model between “up” and “down” states, separated by an energy gap, is presented to account for the shape of the Mössbauer spectra below the freezing temperature. From a calculation of the Electric Field Gradient tensor, it is suggested that H₃O-jarosite is an XY-Heisenberg antiferromagnet, where the Fe³⁺ moments lie in the kagomé planes.     

Spin dynamics of the spin-1/2 kagome lattice antiferromagnet ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2

We have performed thermodynamic and neutron scattering measurements on the S=1/2 kagomé lattice antiferromagnet ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2. The susceptibility indicates a Curie-Weiss temperature of theta CW approximately = -300 K; however, no magnetic order is observed down to 50 mK. Inelastic neutron scattering reveals a spectrum of low energy spin excitations with no observable gap down to 0.1 meV. The specific heat at low-T follows a power law temperature dependence. These results suggest that an unusual spin liquid state with essentially gapless excitations is realized in this kagomé lattice system.

Spin-liquid state for two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnets on a kagomé lattice

The magnetic properties of the spin liquid state of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the kagomé lattice are investigated within the self-consistent mean-field theory. The results show that the spin liquid ground-state energy per site is , which is in very good agreement with the best numerical estimates. The spin structure factor and spin susceptibility are also discussed. Received 1 December 1998 and Received in final form 12 April 1999     

(17) O NMR study of the intrinsic magnetic susceptibility and spin dynamics of the quantum kagome antiferromagnet ZnCu3(OH)(6)Cl(2)

We report, through 17O NMR, an unambiguous local determination of the intrinsic kagome lattice spin susceptibility as well as that created around nonmagnetic defects arising from natural Zn/Cu exchange in the S=1/2 (Cu2+) herbertsmithite ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 compound. The issue of a singlet-triplet gap is addressed. The magnetic response around a defect is found to markedly differ from that observed in nonfrustrated antiferromagnets. Finally, we discuss our relaxation measurements in the light of Cu and Cl NMR data and suggest a flat q dependence of the excitations.     

63Cu, 35Cl, and 1H NMR in the S=1/2 Kagome lattice ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2

ZnCu(3)(OH)(6)Cl(2) (S=1/2) is a promising new candidate for an ideal Kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet, because there is no magnetic phase transition down to approximately 50 mK. We investigated its local magnetic and lattice environments with NMR techniques. We demonstrate that the intrinsic local spin susceptibility decreases toward T=0, but that slow freezing of the lattice near approximately 50 K, presumably associated with OH bonds, contributes to a large increase of local spin susceptibility and its distribution. Spin dynamics near T=0 obey a power-law behavior in high magnetic fields.
