Fe3O4 Segregation and Transport Properties of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3

Effect of Fe3O4 segregation at grain boundaries on the electrical transport and magnetic properties of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 is investigated. The experimental results show that the Fe3O4 segregation not only shifts the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition temperature of La0.6TCa0.33MnO3 to a lower temperature region but also induces a new transition in a lower temperature region. Meanwhile, the transition processes observed in both the resistivity and magnetization curves are obviously widened. Compared to pure La0.67Ca0.33MnO3, we assume that the Fe3O4 segregation level at the grain boundaries can modify the electrical transport and magnetic properties of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3.     

Mechanism of hopping transport in disordered mott insulators

By using a combination of detailed experimental studies and simple theoretical arguments, we identify a novel mechanism characterizing the hopping transport in the Mott insulating phase of Ca2-xSrxRuO4 near the metal-insulator transition. The hopping exponent alpha shows a systematic evolution from a value of alpha=1/2 deeper in the insulator to the conventional Mott value alpha=1/3 closer to the transition. This behavior, which we argue to be a universal feature of disordered Mott systems close to the metal-insulator transition, is shown to reflect the gradual emergence of disorder-induced localized electronic states populating the Mott-Hubbard gap.     

Fermi surface topology of Ca1.5Sr0.5RuO4 determined by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy

We report angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy results of the Fermi surface of Ca1.5Sr0.5RuO4, which is at the boundary of magnetic/orbital instability in the phase diagram of the Ca-substituted Sr ruthenates. Three t(2g) energy bands and the corresponding Fermi surface sheets are observed, which are also present in the Ca-free Sr2RuO4. We find that while the Fermi surface topology of the alpha,beta (d(yz,zx)) sheets remains almost the same in these two materials, the gamma (d(xy)) sheet exhibits a holelike Fermi surface in Ca1.5Sr0.5RuO4 in contrast to being electronlike in Sr2RuO4. Our observation of all three volume conserving Fermi surface sheets clearly demonstrates the absence of orbital-selective Mott transition, which was proposed theoretically to explain the unusual transport and magnetic properties in Ca1.5Sr0.5RuO4.     

Severe Fermi surface reconstruction at a metamagnetic transition in Ca2-xSrxRuO4 (for 0.2 <or=x<or=0.5)

We report an electrical transport study in Ca2-xSrxRuO4 single crystals at high magnetic fields (B). For x=0.2, the Hall constant Rxy decreases sharply at an anisotropic metamagnetic transition, reaching its value for Sr2RuO4 at high fields. A sharp decrease in the coefficient of the resistivity T2 term and a change in the structure of the angular magnetoresistance oscillations for B rotating in the planes confirms the reconstruction of the Fermi surface. Our observations and local-density-approximation calculations indicate a strong dependence of the Fermi surface on Ca concentration and suggest the coexistence of itinerant and localized electronic states in single layered ruthenates.     

Quasi-two-dimensional mott transition system Ca2-xSrxRuO4

We have revealed the phase diagram of Ca2-xSrxRuO4: the quasi-two-dimensional Mott transition system that connects the Mott insulator Ca2RuO4 with the spin-triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4. Adjacent to the metal/nonmetal transition at x approximately 0.2, we found an antiferromagnetically correlated metallic region where non-Fermi-liquid behavior in resistivity is observed. Besides this, the critical enhancement of susceptibility toward the region boundary at x(c) approximately 0.5 suggests the crossover of magnetic correlation to a nearly ferromagnetic state, which evolves into the spin-triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4.

Orbital ordering transition in Ca2RuO4 observed with resonant X-ray diffraction

Resonant x-ray diffraction performed at the L(II) and L(III) absorption edges of Ru has been used to investigate the magnetic and orbital ordering in Ca2RuO4 single crystals. A large resonant enhancement due to electric dipole 2p-->4d transitions is observed at the wave-vector characteristic of antiferromagnetic ordering. Besides the previously known antiferromagnetic phase transition at T(N)=110 K, an additional phase transition, between two paramagnetic phases, is observed around 260 K. Based on the polarization and azimuthal angle dependence of the diffraction signal, this transition can be attributed to orbital ordering of the Ru t(2g) electrons. The propagation vector of the orbital order is inconsistent with some theoretical predictions for the orbital state of Ca2RuO4.     

Direct magneto-optical observation of a structural phase transition in thin films of manganites

The spontaneous formation of twins in La(2/3)Ca(1/3)MnO3 films below T(S) approximately 105 K is observed by a magneto-optical technique. The twins are revealed as stripes along the {110} directions where magnetization tilts out of the film plane due to the stresses in twins. Their appearance is associated with a martensitic phase transition in the film triggered by the cubic-to-tetragonal transition in the SrTiO3 substrate. It is found that magnetization of the films proceeds by inhomogeneous rotation of magnetic moments. This is due to the presence of microscopic structural inhomogeneities. Their dominating role in the low-temperature transport can explain small effects of the transition at T(S) on the resistivity.

The concentration quenching and crystallographic sites of Eu²⁺ in Ca₂BO₃Cl

A yellow phosphor, Ca2BO3 Cl:Eu2+ , is prepared by the high-temperature solid-state method. Under the condition of excitation sources ranging from ultraviolet to visible light, efficient yellow emission can be observed. The emission spectrum shows an asymmetrical single intensive band centred at 573 nm, which corresponds to the 4f 6 5d 1 →4f 7 transition of Eu2+ . Eu2+ ions occupy two types of Ca2+ sites in the Ca2BO3 Cl lattice and form two corresponding emission centres, respectively, which lead to the asymmetrical emission of Eu2+ in Ca2 BO 3 Cl. The emission intensity of Eu2+ in Ca2BO3 Cl is influenced by the Eu2+ doping concentration. Concentration quenching is discovered, and its mechanism is verified to be a dipole–dipole interaction. The value of the critical transfer distance is calculated to be 2.166 nm, which is in good agreement with the 2.120 nm value derived from the experimental data.

Thermal Hysteresis in La2/3 Ca1/3 MnO3 Films Grown on Tilted SrTiO3 Substrates and Influence of External Magnetic Field

Thermal hysteresis in the resistivity of La2/3 Cu1/3MnO3 thin films grown on tilted SrTiO3 substrates is simulated by using the random network model on the basis of mixed-phase percolation between metallic and insulating domains, The metallic-insulating transition temperatures during the warming process are lower than those during the cooling process due to the difference in fraction of metallic domains between warming and cooling process. With an external magnetic field, the metallic-insulating transition temperatures shift to a higher value and the resistivities are reduced. The excellent agreement between the simulation and the experimental data further verifies that phase separation plays a crucial role in the transport process of La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 thin films.

Subband filling and Mott transition in Ca2-xSrxRuO4

A new concept is proposed for the paramagnetic metal insulator transition in the layer perovskite Ca2-xSrxRuO4. Whereas the pure Sr compound is metallic up to large Coulomb energies due to strong orbital fluctuations, structural changes induced by doping with Ca give rise to an interorbital charge transfer which makes the material extremely sensitive to local correlations. Using dynamical mean field theory based on finite temperature multiband exact diagonalization, it is shown that the combination of crystal field splitting and on-site Coulomb interactions leads to complete filling of the d(xy) band and to a Mott transition in the half-filled d(xz,yz) bands.

Al和Fe替代对La0.67Ca0.33MnO3体系结构和M-I转变的影响

研究了Al和Fe替代的La0.67Ca0.33Mn1-xMxO3体系的结构特征及其对金属-绝缘转变的影响.结果表明,随Fe替代含量的增加,晶胞体积并未有显著的变化;而随Al替代含量的增加,在整个替代范围内,晶胞体积表现为单调减小.两种替代均使体系的电阻率急剧增加,绝缘-金属转变温度TIM向低温方向移动.对少量替代含量,在T<TIM的低温区域满足金属输运行为,这种输运行为随Al和Fe离子替代含量的变化特征,可从Al3+离子和Fe3+离子对Mn3+-O2--Mn4+双交换通道的破坏给予解释.对于较高的替代含量,Al离子的替代除通过形成Al3+-O2--Mn4+作用通道影响双交换外,由晶格畸变所导致的电声子耦合变化也会影响双交换,而对于Fe离子的替代,由于反铁磁簇的存在所诱发的Mn离子自旋对电子的散射可能是影响体系输运特性的重要原因.
