沉积氧压对La0.8Sr0.2MnO3/0.7wt%Nb:SrTiO3异质结的整流伏安特性及输运性的调控

采用脉冲激光沉积法在(100)0.7wt%Nb:SrTiO3(NSTO)衬底上制备了La0.8Sr0.2MnO3(LSMO)/NSTO(100)异质结,仔细研究了原位沉积氧压和真空退火对LSMO/NSTO异质结的结构及其整流伏安特性的调控.X-射线线性扫描和原子力显微镜测量显示,低氧压制备的LSMO/NSTO(100)异质结具有良好的外延结构和平整的表面.电流-电压(I～V)曲线显示,沉积氧压为100mTorr的异质p～n结展现出极好的整流伏安特性;而氧压为240mTorr的异质p～n结平缓增加的电流可解释为异质p～n结在界面处晶格缺陷的增加.作为对比,沉积氧压调控的LSMO/SrTiO3(100)薄膜的输运性也被研究.电阻率结果显示,低氧压制备的LSMO薄膜,其电阻率的增加及金属-半导体转变温度Tp的降低归因于氧空位增加诱导的Mn4+离子减少及MnO6八面体的畸变.     

Sr掺杂对La_(1-x)Sr_xMnO_3/LaAlO_3/SrTiO_3界面电子结构的影响

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法,系统地研究了La_(1-x)Sr_xMnO_3层中Sr的掺杂方式和掺杂量对4La_(1-x)Sr_xMnO_3/3LaAlO_3/4SrTiO_3(LSMO/LAO/STO)异质结构原子和电子结构的影响.结果表明:对于相同的Sr掺杂量,掺杂方式的差异对体系电子结构的影响微弱,不会导致体系发生金属-绝缘体转变;掺杂量的不同对体系电子结构有着显著的影响,当Sr的掺杂量较少时,LAO/STO界面处存在着准二维电子气,当Sr的掺杂量高于1/3时,LAO/STO界面处准二维电子气消失.我们相信,Sr的引入以及通过Sr掺杂量的改变可以对LSMO覆盖层极化进行调控,这也是导致体系LAO/STO界面处金属-绝缘体转变的可能原因,进一步为极化灾变机制导致的界面处电子重构提供了证据.

Abundant photoelectronic behaviors of La_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3/Nb:SrTiO_3 junctions

Temperature dependence on rectifying and photoelectronic properties of La_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3/Nb:SrTiO_3(LSMO/STON) junctions with the thickness values of LSMO film varying from 1 nm to 54 nm are systematically studied. As shown experimentally, the junctions exhibit good rectifying properties. The significant differences in photoemission property among the LSMO/STON junctions are observed. For the junction in a thicker LSMO film, the photocurrent shows a monotonic growth when temperature decreases from 300 K to 13 K. While for the junction in an ultrathin LSMO film, the behaviors of photocurrent are more complicated. The photocurrent increases rapidly to a maximum and then smoothly decreases with the decrease of temperature. The unusual phenomenon can be elucidated by the diffusion and recombination model of the photocarrier.     

Magnetic Anisotropy Induced by Orbital Occupation States in La_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3 Films

Interface engineering is an effective and feasible method to regulate the magnetic anisotropy of films by altering interfacial states between films.Using the technique of pulsed laser deposition,we prepared La_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3(LSMO) and La_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3/SrCoO_(2.5)(LSMO/SCO) films on(110)-oriented La_(0.3)Sr_(0.7)Al_(0.65)Ta_(0.35)O_3 substrates.By covering the SCO film above the LSMO film,we transformed the easy magnetization axis of LSMO from the [001] axis to the [110] axis in the film plane.Based on statistical analyses,we find that the corresponding Mn-Mn ionic distances are different in the two types of LSMO films,causing different distortions of Mn-O octahedron in LSMO.In addition,it also induces diverse electronic occupation states in Mn~(3+) ions.The eg electron of Mn~(3+)occupies 3 z~2-r~2 and x~2-y~2 orbitals in the LSMO and LSMO/SCO,respectively.We conclude that the electronic spin reorientation leads to the transformation of the easy magnetization axis in the LSMO films.     

Effect of Terraces at the Interface on the Structural and Physical Properties of La_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)MnO_3 Thin Films

Employing atomic force microscopy,transmission electron microscopy and the second harmonic generation technique,we carefully explore the structural properties of 6-unit-cell-thick La_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)MnO_3 films grown on SrTiO_3 with atomically flat TiO_2-terminated terraces on the surface.The results clearly demonstrate that the terraces on the surface of TiO_2-terminated SrTiO_3 can improve the layer-by-layer epitaxial growth of the manganite films,which results in uniform film coverage at the beginning of growth and thus reduces the substrate-induced disorder at or near the interface.Comparing the magnetic and transport properties of La_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)MnO_3 films with the thicknesses varying from 6 unit cells to 80 unit cells grown respectively on as-received SrTiO_3 and TiO_2-terminated SrTiO_3,it is found that these atomically flat terraces on the surface of TiO_2-terminated SrTiO_3 can greatly enhance the Curie temperature and conductivities of the ultrathin La_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)MnO_3 films with thickness less than 50 unit cells,while no obvious difference is detected in the magnetic and transport properties of the 80unit-cell thick films.     

Synthesis of Ordered Ultra-long Manganite Nanowires via Electrospinning Method

We develop a new electrospinning method to prepare ultra-long ordered La_(1-x)Sr_xMnO_3(LSMO) nanowires.The length is up to several centimeters and is only limited by the size of the collector.The well-ordered straight-line structure ensures the transport measurement,which is impossible to be carried out for the random nanowires fabricated by the traditional electrospinning method.Magnetic and transport measurements indicate that the physical properties of the LSMO nanowires depend sensitively on the doping concentration.At the optimum doping,the LSMO wires are ferromagnetic at room temperature with a metal-insulator transition temperature close to room temperature.Magnetic force microscopy studies are also performed to provide a microscopic view of these ultra-long nanowires.     

Effect of magnetic film thickness on rectifying properties of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3/TiO2 heterostructures

The La_0.8Sr_0.2MnO₃ (LSMO)/ TiO₂ heterostructures with different thicknesses of the LSMO films were successfully synthesized using the RF magnetron sputtering technique. Excellent rectifying characteristics are presented in all heterostructures in a wide temperature range. The differences of the diffusive potentials for three heterojunctions are very little at 300 K. The samples exhibit a high resistance that plays an important role on their rectifying properties. The diffusive potential decreases with increasing temperature. The result is attributed to both the reduction of the thickness of the deletion layer due to the thermal diffusion and the modulation of the interfacial electronic structure of the heterostructures. The metal-insulator (M-I) transition is observed clearly from the single LSMO layers and the LSMO/ TiO₂ p-n heterojunctions.     

Modulation of ultrafast laser-induced magnetization precession in BiFeO_3-coated La_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3 thin films

The ultrafast laser-excited magnetization dynamics of ferromagnetic(FM) La_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3(LSMO) thin films with BiFeO_3(BFO) coating layers grown by laser molecular beam epitaxy are investigated using the optical pump-probe technique.Uniform magnetization precessions are observed in the films under an applied external magnetic field by measuring the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect.The magnetization precession frequencies of the LSMO thin films with the BFO coating layers are lower than those of uncoated LSMO films,which is attributed to the suppression of the anisotropy field induced by the exchange interaction at the interface between the antiferromagnetic order of BFO and the FM order of LSMO.

Antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling of (111)-oriented La_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3/SrRuO_3 superlattices

We report a strong antiferromagnetic(AFM) interlayer coupling in ferromagnetic La_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3/SrRuO_3(LSMO/SRO) superlattices grown on(111)-oriented SrTiO_3 substrate. Unlike the(001) superlattices for which the spin alignment between LSMO and SRO is antiparallel in the in-plane direction and parallel in the out-of-plane direction, the antiparallel alignment is observed along both the in-plane and out-of-plane directions in the present sample. The low temperature hysteresis loop demonstrates two-step magnetic processes, indicating the coexistence of magnetically soft and hard components. Moreover, an inverted hysteresis loop was observed. Exchange bias tuned by the temperature and cooling field was also investigated, and positive as well as negative exchange bias was observed at the same temperature with the variation of the cooling field. A very large exchange field(H_(EB)) was observed and both magnitude and sign of the H_(EB)depend on the cooling field, which can be attributed to an interplay of Zeeman energy and AFM coupling energy at the interfaces. The present work shows the great potential of tuning a spin texture through interfacial engineering for the complex oxides whose spin state is jointly determined by strongly competing mechanisms.     

氧气含量对射频磁控溅射方法制备的NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结的光电性能的影响

利用磁控溅射方法改变氧气含量制备了一系列NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结。实验结果表明,氧含量对NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结电学影响很大。相对于纯氩溅射,引入一定氧气(O2/(Ar+O2)比例为30%)后,NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结的整流特性明显得到改善。与此同时,NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结的光透过率也从40%增大到80%。这可能是由于氧气的轻量引入致使NiO∶Cu/ZnO异质pn结的结晶得到改善,薄膜内缺陷减少所致。进一步提高氧气含量,直到O2/(Ar+O2)比例至80%后,异质结的整流特性有所削弱,这可能是由于过多氧气的引入造成薄膜缺陷再次增多,进而影响到异质结的整流特性。这一结论得到了EDS、XRD、AFM和UV结果的支持。
