垂直各向异性Ho3Fe5O12薄膜的外延生长与其异质结构的自旋输运

垂直磁各向异性稀土-铁-石榴石纳米薄膜在自旋电子学中具有重要应用前景.本文使用溅射方法在(111)取向掺杂钇钪的钆镓石榴石(Gd_0.63Y_2.37Sc₂Ga₃O₁₂,GYSGG)单晶衬底上外延生长了2—100 nm厚的钬铁石榴石(Ho₃Fe₅O₁₂,HoIG)薄膜,并进一步在HoIG上沉积了3 nm Pt薄膜.测量了室温下HoIG的磁各向异性和HoIG/Pt异质结构的自旋相关输运性质.结果显示,厚度薄至2 nm的HoIG薄膜(小于2个单胞层)在室温仍具有铁磁性,且由于外延应变,2—60 nm厚HoIG薄膜都具有很强的垂直磁各向异性,有效垂直各向异性场最大达350 mT;异质结构样品表现出非常可观的反常霍尔效应和“自旋霍尔/各向异性”磁电阻效应,前者在HoIG厚度小于4 nm时开始缓慢下降,而后者当HoIG厚度小于7 nm时急剧减小,说明相较于反常霍尔效应,磁电阻效应对HoIG的体磁性相对更加敏感;此外,自旋相关热电压随HoIG厚度减薄在整个厚度范围以指数方式下降,说明遵从热激化磁振子运动规律的自旋塞贝克效应是其主要贡献者.本文结果表明HoIG纳米薄膜具有可调控的垂直磁各向异性,厚度大于4 nm的HoIG/Pt异质结构具有高效的自旋界面交换作用,是自旋电子学应用发展的一个重要候选材料.

First-principles study of electronic structure and magnetic properties of Sr3Fe2O5 oxide

We investigate the electronic structure and magnetic properties of layered compound Sr₃Fe₂O₅ based on first-principles calculations in the framework of density functional theory with GGA+U method. Under high pressure, the ladder-type layered structure of Sr₃Fe₂O₅ is transformed into the infinite layered structure accompanied by a transition from G-type anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) insulator to ferromagnetic (FM) metal and a spin transition from S=2 to S=1. We reproduce these transformations in our calculations and give a clear physical interpretation.     

Optimized growth of compensated ferrimagnetic insulator Gd_3Fe_5O_(12) with a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

Compensated ferrimagnetic insulators are particularly interesting for enabling functional spintronic,optical,and microwave devices.Among many different garnets,Gd_3 Fe_5 O_(12)(GdIG) is a representative compensated ferrimagnetic insulator.In this paper,we will study the evolution of the surface morphology,the magnetic properties,and the magnetization compensation through changing the following parameters:the annealing temperature,the growth temperature,the annealing duration,and the choice of different single crystalline garnet substrates.Our objective is to find the optimized growth condition of the GdIG films,for the purpose of achieving a strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA) and a flat surface,together with a small effective damping parameter.Through our experiments,we have found that the surface roughness approaching 0.15 nm can be obtained by choosing the growth temperature around 700℃,together with an enhanced PMA.We have also found the modulation of magnetic anisotropy by choosing different single crystalline garnet substrates which change the tensile strain to the compressive strain.A measure of the effective magnetic damping parameter(α_(eff)=0.04 ± 0.01) through a spin pumping experiment in a GdIG/Pt bilayer is also made.Through optimizing the growth dynamics of GdIG films,our results could be useful for synthesizing garnet films with a PMA,which could be beneficial for the future development of ferrimagnetic spintronics.

Structure and optical properties of sol–gel derived Gd2O3 waveguide films

Pure and rare earth doped gadolinium oxide (Gd₂O₃) waveguide films were prepared by a simple sol–gel process and dip-coating method. Gd₂O₃ was successfully synthesized by hydrolysis of gadolinium acetate. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to study the thermal chemistry properties of dried gel. Structure of Gd₂O₃ films annealed at different temperature ranging from 400 to 750 °C were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that Gd₂O₃ starts crystallizing at about 400 °C and the crystallite size increases with annealing temperature. Oriented growth of (4 0 0) face of Gd₂O₃ has been observed when the films were deposited on (1 0 0) Si substrate and annealed at 750 °C. The laser beam (λ=632.8 nm) was coupled into the film by a prism coupler and propagation loss of the film measured by scattering-detection method is about 2 dB/cm. Luminescence properties of europium ions doped films were measured and are discussed.

Up/down-conversion luminescence of monoclinic Gd2O3:Er3+ nanoparticles prepared by laser ablation in liquid

Multifunctional luminescent materials are attracting attention nowadays. In this work, monoclinic Gd₂O₃:Er³⁺ nanoparticles, which possess up-conversion luminescence and down-conversion luminescence properties, were successfully synthesized by laser ablation in liquid (LAL) technique. Up-conversion luminescence and down-conversion luminescence of monoclinic Gd₂O₃:Er³⁺ nanoparticles were got under the excitation of 980 nm and 379 nm, respectively. In addition, tunable luminescence was got. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of the nanoparticles is low and the fluorescence of the nanoparticles in cell is also strong enough. The results indicate that the Gd₂O₃:Er³⁺ nanoparticles synthesized by LAL technique are promising candidates for bio-imaging or other fields that require controllable fluorescence.     

Curie temperatures of Y3Fe5O12/Gd3Fe5O12 superlattices

The magneto-optical Kerr effects (MOKE) of epitaxial Y₃Fe₅O₁₂/Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂ (YIG/GGG) garnet superlattices grown on (1 1 1)GGG previously by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were measured. A series of superlattices were investigated with the thickness of the ferrimagnetic YIG layer varied from six unit cells to only one unit cell while keeping the Curie paramagnetic GGG fixed at one unit cell. It was demonstrated that the ellipsometric technique employing photoelastic modulators (PEM) is sensitive enough to measure the MOKE signals of these ultrathin oxide samples. The Curie temperatures, determined by MOKE, are fit with a power law, yielding a shift exponent λ = 3.1 ± 1.2.     

Dramatic reduction in dark current of β-Ga2O3 ultraviolet photodectors via β-(Al0.25Ga0.75)2O3 surface passivation

Solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors with metal-semiconductor-metal structure were fabricated based on β -(Al_0.25Ga_0.75)₂O₃/β -Ga₂O₃ film grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. It was known that various surface states increase dark current and a large number of defects can hinder the transport of carriers, resulting in low switching ratio and low responsivity of the device. In this work, β -(Al_0.25Ga_0.75)₂O₃ films are used as surface passivation materials. Owning to its wide band gap, we obtain excellent light transmission and high lattice matching with β -Ga₂O₃. We explore the change and mechanism of the detection performance of the β -Ga₂O₃ detector after β -(Al_0.25Ga_0.75)₂O₃ surface passivation. It is found that under the illumination with 254 nm light at bias 5 V, the β -(Al_0.25Ga_0.75)₂O₃/β -Ga₂O₃ photodetectors show dark current of just 18 pA and high current on/off ratio of 2.16×10⁵. The dark current is sharply reduced about 50 times after passivation of the β -Ga₂O₃ surface, and current on/off ratio increases by approximately 2 times. It is obvious that β -Ga₂O₃ detectors with β -(Al_0.25Ga_0.75)₂O₃ surface passivation can offer superior detector performance.     

Fe_3O_4单晶薄膜磁性电场调控的微磁学仿真研究

磁性薄膜磁学特性电场调控的相关研究对开发新型低功耗磁信息器件具有突出意义.本文基于电场调控磁性的基本理论,以OOMMF(Object Oriented Micro-Magnetic Frame)微磁学仿真软件为工具,研究了电场对生长于PZN-PT单晶衬底上Fe_3O_4单晶薄膜磁学特性的调控.研究结果显示:无外加电场时,薄膜表现出典型的软磁特性;沿衬底[001]方向施加的外加电场可以使得薄膜矫顽力、矩形比等磁学特性发生显著改变:当外加磁场沿[100]([010])时,施加正值(负值)电场强度可以显著增大薄膜的矫顽力与矩形比,当电场强度不小于0.6 MV/m时薄膜矩形比达到1.这是因为外加电场导致薄膜产生单轴应力各向异性,使得薄膜的等效磁各向异性发生了从无外电场下的面内四重磁晶各向异性向高电场下的近似单轴磁各向异性的过渡.外加1 MV/m与-1 MV/m的电场时等效易磁化轴分别沿[100]与[010]方向.另外,外加1 MV/m(-1 MV/m)的电场强度可以使得铁磁共振的频率增大(减小)接近1 GHz.

基于Newman的晶场叠模型与微观自旋哈密顿理论,建立了ZnGa2O4:Fe3+晶体材料中磁性离子Fe3+局域结构与其自旋哈密顿(spin-Hamiltonian,SH)参量(包括二阶零场分裂(zero-field splitting,ZFS)参量D,四阶ZFS参量(a-F),Zeeman g因子:g//,g⊥,△g(=g//-g⊥))之间的定量关系.采用以全组态完全对角化方法为理论背景的CFA/MSH(Crystal Filed Analysis/Microscopic Spin Hamiltonian)研究软件,研究了ZnGa2O4:Fe3+材料中磁性离子Fe3+的SH参量与其局域结构的依赖关系.研究表明:对于ZnGa2O4:Fe3+晶体材料,当磁性离子Fe3+的局域结构畸变参数△R=0.0487 nm,△θ=0.192°时,其基态SH参量理论计算结果与实验测量符合很好,进一步表明Fe3+掺入晶体材料后将引起磁性Fe3+离子局域结构的微小畸变,但其仍然保持D3d点群对称局域结构.在此基础上研究分析了SH参量的微观起源,结果表明:ZnGa2O4:Fe3+晶体材料的SH参量主要来源于SO(spin-orbit)磁相互作用机理,来自其他磁相互作用机理(包括SS(spin-spin),SOO(spin-other-orbit),OO(orbit-orbit),SO-SS-SOO-OO)的贡献比较小.     

Shaped crystal growth and scintillating properties of Yb:(Gd,Lu)3Ga5O12 solid solutions

Shaped single crystals of (Lu_xGd_1−x)₃Ga₅O₁₂ (0.0x1.0) and (Yb_0.05Lu_xGd_0.95−x)₃Ga₅O₁₂ (0.0x0.9) were grown by the modified micro-pulling-down method. Continuous solid solutions with garnet structure and a linear compositional dependency of crystal lattice parameter in the system Yb:(Gd,Lu)₃Ga₅O₁₂ are formed. Measured optical absorption spectra of the samples show 4f–4f transitions related to Gd³⁺ ion at 275 and 310 nm, and also an onset of charge transfer transitions from oxygen ligands to Gd³⁺ or Yb³⁺ cations below 240 nm. A complete absence of Yb³⁺ charge transfer luminescence under X-ray excitation in any of the investigated samples was explained by the overlapping of charge transfer absorption of Yb³⁺ by that of Gd³⁺ ions. For specific composition of Lu_1.5Gd_1.5Ga₅O₁₂ an intense defect-host lattice-related emission, which achieve of about 40% integrated intensity compared with Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂, was found.     

Ultralow detection limit of giant magnetoresistance biosensor using Fe_3O_4–graphene composite nanoparticle label

A special Fe_3O_4nanoparticles–graphene(Fe_3O_4–GN) composite as a magnetic label was employed for biodetection using giant magnetoresistance(GMR) sensors with a Wheatstone bridge. The Fe_3O_4–GN composite exhibits a strong ferromagnetic behavior with the saturation magnetization M_S of approximately 48 emu/g, coercivity H_C of 200 Oe, and remanence M_r of 8.3 emu/g, leading to a large magnetic fringing field. However, the Fe_3O_4 nanoparticles do not aggregate together, which can be attributed to the pinning and separating effects of graphene sheet to the magnetic particles. The Fe_3O_4–GN composite is especially suitable for biodetection as a promising magnetic label since it combines two advantages of large fringing field and no aggregation. As a result, the concentration x dependence of voltage difference |?V| between detecting and reference sensors undergoes the relationship of |?V| = 240.5 lgx + 515.2 with an ultralow detection limit of 10 ng/mL(very close to the calculated limit of 7 ng/mL) and a wide detection range of 4 orders.     

纳米微粒BaFe12O19掺杂对单畴超导块材GdBa2Cu3O7-δ性能的影响

磁通钉扎性能对GdBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ超导块材的实际应用具有重要的影响, 而引入合适的第二相粒子可以改善GdBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ 超导块材的磁通钉扎性能.本文采用顶部籽晶熔融织构法成功地制备出纳米微粒BaFe₁₂O₁₉(<100 nm)掺杂的超导块材, 样品的最终组分为Gd123+ 0.4 Gd211+ x BaFe₁₂O₁₉ (x=0, 0.2 mol%, 0.4 mol%, 0.8 mol%)+ 10 wt%Ag₂O+ 0.5 wt%Pt. 通过研究不同掺杂量的BaFe₁₂O₁₉微粒对GdBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ 超导块材微观结构和超导性能的影响, 结果表明当掺杂量为0.2 mol%时, 样品的临界电流密度几乎在整个外加磁场下都有明显的提高.在零场下, 临界电流密度达到5.5× 10⁴ A/cm². 纳米微粒BaFe₁₂O₁₉不仅可以保持掺杂前的化学组成, 作为有效的钉扎中心存在于超导块材中, 并且能够改善Gd₂BaCuO₅粒子的分布和细化Gd₂BaCuO₅粒子, 使Gd₂BaCuO₅粒子的平均粒径由未掺杂时的1.4 μ m减小到掺杂后的0.79 μ m, 进而提高了超导块材的临界电流密度和俘获磁场, 明显提高了GdBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ 超导块材的超导性能.临界温度T_C也有所提升, 并能够维持在92.5 K左右. 该结果为进一步研究纳米磁通钉扎中心的引入并改善GdBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ 超导块材的性能有着重要的意义.     

Magnetoresistance of Fe3O4/Au/Fe3O4 and Fe3O4/Au/Fe spin-valve structures

A detailed study of the in-plane magnetotransport properties of spin valves with one and two Fe₃O₄ electrodes is presented. Fe₃O₄/Au/Fe₃O₄ spin valves exhibit a clear anisotropic magnetoresistance in small magnetic fields but no giant magnetoresistance (GMR). The absence of GMR in these structures is due to simultaneous magnetization reversal in the two Fe₃O₄ layers. By contrast, a negative GMR effect is measured on Fe₃O₄/Au/Fe spin valves. The negative GMR is attributed to an electron spin scattering asymmetry at the Fe₃O₄/Au interface or an induced spin scattering asymmetry in the Au interfacial layers.
