SrTiO3的外延覆盖对La0.67Ca0.33MnO3/NdGaO3（001）薄膜中电荷有序相调控的影响

具有各向异性外延应变的La0.67Ca0.33MnO3/NdGaO3(001)外延薄膜,经过高温后退火处理可以诱导出电荷有序相,而外延应力场对电荷有序相的诱导机理有待进一步阐明.本文中,我们在La0.67Ca0.33MnO3薄膜上进一步外延SrTiO3覆盖层,以期从不同方面改变薄膜的应变状态.我们发现薄膜上方的应力钳制可改变来自衬底的各向异性应变,从而明显减弱薄膜中的电荷有序相.因此,除衬底外,外延覆盖层同样也可影响薄膜的应变状态、结构和物性.     

La0.33Pr0.34Ca0.33MnO3薄膜的应变效应

采用脉冲激光沉积法分别在(100)LaAlO3和(100)SrTiO3基片上生长了La0.33Pr0.34Ca0.33MnO3 薄膜,并通过磁测量和电输运测量对生长在不同基片上的La0.33Pr0.34Ca0.33MnO3薄膜的物性进行了研究.结果表明,基片和薄膜之间的压应力导致La0.33Pr0.34Ca0.33MnO3薄膜容易出现铁磁相,而电荷有序相则被抑制.基片和薄膜之间的张应力则导致La0.33Pr0.34Ca0.33MnO3薄膜容易出现电荷有序相,铁磁相被抑制.导致该现象的可能原因之一是应力使得晶格中Mn-O键角发生改变而引起双交换作用的改变.     

La0.67Ba0.33MnO3薄膜的激光辐照效应研究

利用脉冲激光沉积技术在LaAlO3(00l)单晶衬底上制备了La0.67Ba0.33MnO3薄膜,研究了CO2激光辐照对La0.67Ba0.33MnO3薄膜的微结构和磁电性能的影响.结果表明,经激光辐照后,La0.67Ba0.33MnO3薄膜的结晶性增强,薄膜应变减小;薄膜表面形貌由"岛状"结构变为"平原"结构,且粗糙度大大降低;同时,薄膜的饱和磁化强度、铁磁居里温度、金属-绝缘态转变温度和磁电阻增大,而矫顽场和电阻率减小.根据对传统退火效应的分析和理论计算,认为激光辐照导致的表面微结构的变化以及薄膜的氧含量和均匀性的提高对La0.67Ba0.33MnO3薄膜的磁电性能的改善与优化密切相关.     

La0.67Ca0.33MnO3/NdGaO3(001)薄膜中外延应变诱导的各向异性磁阻效应

本文使用脉冲激光沉积方法在正交的NdGaO3(001)衬底上外延生长了La0.67Cao.33MnO3薄膜.退火后,由于外延应变引起薄膜正交畸变增强,薄膜在低于250K的整个温度区间都出现了铁磁金属态和反铁磁绝缘态的相分离和相竞争.这两相的竞争强烈依赖于磁场相对晶轴的方向,由此导致存在于很宽温度范围内的低场各向异性磁阻...     

Effect of High Resistance Phases on Metal—Insulator Transition of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3

The temperature dependence of resistivity ρ of YSZ doping composite of (1-x) La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 xYSZ and Y2O3 doping composite of (1-y) La0.67MnO3 yY2O3 is investigated,respectively,in a temperature range 77-300K,where the YSZ represents yttria-stabilized zirconia(8mol%Y2O3 92mol% ZrO2).Experimental results show that the YSZ doping level has important effects on both the metal-insulator(M-I) transition temperatures and zero field resistivity of the composites of (1-x) La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 xYSZ.However,the Y2O3 doping level has little effect on the M-I transition temperatures and the zero field resistivity of (1-y)La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 yY2O3 only increases slightly.The difference between the two types of composites may mainly results from the different distribution of high resistance phases at the grain boundaries and /or surfaces of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 grains rather than the substitution of La^3 ions with Y^3 ions.     

锰基钙钛矿多层膜中的层间相互作用

本文采用直流磁控溅射方法在(100)取向的LaAlO3基片上制备了系列多层膜: La0.67Ca0.33MnO3-δ/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3-δ/La0.67Ca0.33MnO3-δ (LC/LS/LC).并采用标准四探针方法对所制备样品的阻温关系进行了测量. 结果表明:在零场下,当上下两层厚度一定时,随着中间层(LS)厚度增加,多层膜的电阻率减小,金属-绝缘体转变温度(TM-I)向高温方向移动.在中间层(LS)厚度保持一定时,随着上下两层(LC)厚度增加,其电阻率和金属-绝缘体转变温度(TM-I)出现同样的变化规律.基于双交换理论,我们对以上结果给出了尝试性解释.     

Ag掺杂的La0.67Pb0.33MnO3薄膜中激光感生热电电压效应

采用脉冲激光沉积法在倾斜LaAlO3衬底上制备了Ag掺杂的La0.67Pb0.33MnO3(LPMO)系列薄膜,发现该类薄膜中有激光感生热电电压(LITV)效应.随着掺Ag量x(x为Ag的质量与LPMO的质量之比)从0.00增加到0.10,LPMO薄膜中的LITV信号的响应时间先递减后递增,但始终小于未掺Ag的薄膜,掺Ag量x=0.06时响应时间最小.研究发现LPMO薄膜存在一个最佳厚度,在这一厚度下可使得LITV信号的峰值电压、响应时间分别达到最大和最小.与相同掺Ag量的La0.67Ca0.33MnO3薄膜相比,LPMO薄膜中的LITV信号有更小的响应时间.     

厚度依赖的La_(0.33)Pr_(0.34)Ca_(0.33)MnO_3的磁学性质北大核心CSCD

Nanoscale multiphase separation at La(2/3)Ca(1/3)MnO3/SrTiO3 interfaces

55Mn nuclear magnetic resonance experiments are reported on a series of fully strained epitaxial La(2/3)Ca(1/3)MnO3 thin films on SrTiO3. We have found evidence of multiple phase segregation into ferromagnetic metallic and nonmetallic regions as well as regions that are nonferromagnetic and insulating. These insulating regions are mainly located close to interfaces and may have a significant impact on the performance of spin-tunnel devices. As a result of phase segregation, the ferromagnetic coupling within the metallic regions is depressed. This accounts for the reduction of the Curie temperature and conductivity in nanometric thin films.     

Elastically strained and relaxed La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 films grown on lanthanum aluminate substrates with different orientations

Physics of the Solid State - Structure of 40-nm thick La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) films grown by laser evaporation on (001) and (110) LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates has been investigated using the methods of...     

Homogeneous interface-type resistance switching in Au/La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃/SrTiO₃/F:SnO₂ heterojunction memories

La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 thin films are fabricated on fluorine-doped tin oxide conducting glass substrates by a pulsed laser deposition technique with SrTiO3 used as a buffer layer. The current-voltage characteristics of the heterojunctions exhibit an asymmetric and resistance switching behaviour. A homogeneous interface-type conduction mechanism is also reported using impedance spectroscopy. The spatial homogeneity of the charge carrier distribution leads to field- induced potential-barrier change at the Au-La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 interface and a concomitant resistance switching effect. The ratio of the high resistance state to the low resistance state is found to be as high as 1.3 × 10 4 % by simulating the AC electric field. This colossal resistance switching effect will greatly improve the signal-to-noise ratio in nonvolatile memory applications.     

Coherent spin precession via photoinduced antiferromagnetic interactions in La0.67Ca0.33MnO3

Pronounced spin precessions are observed in a geometry with negligible canting of the magnetization in ferromagnetic La(0.67)Ca(0.33)MnO(3) thin films using the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect. The precession amplitude monotonically decreases with increasing field, indicating that the coherent spin rotation may be triggered by a transient exchange field and not by demagnetization and/or anisotropy field modulation. We attribute the transient exchange field to emergent antiferromagnetic interactions due to charge transfer and modification of the kinetic energy of e(g) electrons under optical excitation.     

Ferromagnetic enhancement of CE-type spin ordering in (Pr,Ca)MnO3

We present resonant soft x-ray scattering results from small bandwidth manganites (Pr,Ca)MnO(3), which show that the CE-type spin ordering (SO) at the phase boundary is stabilized only below the canted antiferromagnetic transition temperature and enhanced by ferromagnetism in the macroscopically insulating state (FM-I). Our results reveal the fragility of the CE-type ordering that underpins the colossal magnetoresistance effect in this system, as well as an unexpected cooperative interplay between FM-I and CE-type SO which is in contrast to the competitive interplay between the ferromagnetic metallic state and CE-type ordering.     

A change from second- to first-order transition in (La(1-x)Eu(x))0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2)

A detailed investigation of the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition in (La(1-x)Eu(x))(0.67)Ca(0.33)MnO(3) having small Eu(3+)-content (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) has been carried out through resistivity and magnetization measurements. X-ray diffraction patterns of the compounds reveal a single phase (La(1-x)Eu(x))(0.67)Ca(0.33)MnO(3) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) of an orthorhombic crystal structure after annealing the precursor at 800 °C for 2 h in air. With increasing Eu(3+)-content, the second-order transition (at x = 0 and 0.1) changes to first-order at x = 0.2. The experimental results demonstrate thermomagnetic irreversibility of the transition for x = 0.2 composition. This arises between the supercooling and superheating regimes where both the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases coexist.     

La0.67Ca0.33MnO3复合体系的磁电阻增强效应

在La0.67Ca0.33MnO3(LCMO)纳米颗粒体系中,采用Cu与之复合,考察复合对磁电阻性能的影响.结果表明,复合使低场磁电阻得到大幅度的增强.但和其它LCMO复合体系截然不同的是,复合体系的电阻率大幅下降.认为是在LCMO颗粒周围形成一层良导体,电子输运与颗粒边界的电子散射有关.

This colossal resistance switching effect will greatly improve the signal-to-noise ratio in nonvolatile memory applications.     

掺杂锰基氧化物中的相分离和渗流效应

目前，相分离仍是锰基氧化物超大磁电阻材料研究的热点，渗流效应假设已广泛用于解释其电输运特性．作者用变温磁力显微镜首次在La0.33Pr0.34Ca0.33MnO3薄膜中直接观察到了渗流过程，微观上证明了渗流效应假设的正确性．实验发现，降温过程中电阻率的陡降是铁磁金属相的渗流效应引起的，升温过程中电阻率的上升，则是由导电路径上磁畴的磁化强度随温度的升高而降低引起的，而导电路径一直存在．微观的磁回滞和宏观的电阻回滞相吻合．当然要定量解释锰氧化物中的超大磁电阻效应还需要做大量的理论和实验工作．
