(La1-xCex)2/3Ca1/3MnO3体系的输运性质和反常磁特性研究

本文报告了对Ce掺杂锰氧化物(La1-xCex)2/3Ca1/3MnO3 (x=0～1.0)系列样品的输运特性和反常磁特性的研究结果.实验表明,Ce掺杂对Tc有明显的抑制作用,整体上电阻率随Ce掺杂含量增加而上升,在外加磁场时表现出极大的磁电阻效应.磁化强度随温度变化的曲线出现了两个转变,高温处对应于Mn离子磁矩的铁磁金属转变,低温处的转变则对应于Ce离子磁矩自旋有序排列的形成.表明Ce掺杂引起样品中铁磁双交换作用和反铁磁超交换作用之间的竞争,Ce离子与Mn离子有很强的相互作用.随Ce掺杂含量的增加,铁磁有序转变温度下降,而反铁磁有序转变温度则向高温处移动,铁磁区域明显减小.     

化合物SmCo5的电子结构、自旋和轨道磁矩及其交换作用分析

用自旋极化的MS-Xα方法研究了稀土-过渡族化合物SmCo5的电子态密度、自旋能级劈裂及原子磁矩.研究结果显示,由于化合物中Sm-Co间的轨道杂化效应,使Sm原子原来的5d0空轨道上占据了少量5d电子.由于Co(3d)-Sm(5d)电子间的直接交换作用,导致了Sm-Co间的磁性交换耦合,这是化合物中形成Sm-Co铁磁性长程序的一个重要原因.在SmCo5化合物中存在6个能级呈现负交换耦合,导致了SmCo5化合物的居里温度(与金属钴相比)明显下降.还研究了化合物中2c和3g晶位Co的自旋磁矩和轨道磁矩,发现Co(2c)晶位的自旋磁矩、轨道磁矩及冻结部分均略大于Co(3g)晶位,所以2c晶位的L-S耦合强度应略大于3g晶位.因此,2c晶位对SmCo5磁晶各向异性的影响也应大于3g晶位.但Co(2c)未被冻结的轨道磁矩却略小于Co(3g),所以两种晶位对磁晶各向异性的贡献大小之差别不应太大.考虑到4f电子的局域性和化合物中轨道杂化效应所导致的Sm(5d0)空轨道上占据了少量5d电子,可以得到Sm原子磁矩为1.29μB,与顺磁盐中Sm3+磁矩实验值(1.32-1.63uB)及金属中Sm原子磁矩实验值(1.74μB)基本符合.     

铁磁/半导体(绝缘体)/铁磁异质结中渡越时间与两铁磁层磁矩夹角变化的关系

在群速度概念的基础上, 研究了自旋极化电子隧穿通过铁磁体/半导体(绝缘体)/铁磁体异质结时, 渡越时间随两端铁磁层中磁矩夹角变化的关系. 研究结果表明: 当中间层为半导体层时, 由于半导体层中的Rashba自旋轨道耦合强度的影响, 自旋向上电子和自旋向下电子的渡越时间差会在两铁磁层相对磁矩夹角为π/2和3π/2附近出现一个极小值. 当中间层为绝缘体层时, 势垒高度的变化会导致不同取向的自旋极化电子渡越时间差的变化, 并当势垒高度超过一临界值时发生翻转. 关键词： 铁磁体/半导体(绝缘体)/铁磁体异质结 Rashba自旋轨道耦合强度 渡越时间 磁矩

自旋-Peierls化合物GeCuO3电子结构的第一性原理研究

采用平面波赝势方法对自旋-Peierls化合物GecuO3的电子结构进行了第一性原理研究.计算结果表明:Cu2 的3d轨道自由度被冻结,未配对电子填充dx2-y2轨道.自旋向上和向下的x2-y2轨道间的交换劈裂导致了体系的绝缘性.费米能级附近的Cu 3d态与0(2)2p态存在很强的杂化作用,GeCuO3属于共价绝缘体.这种强共价性使得Cu2 的自旋磁矩偏离理想值,并且使得体系在Cu-O(2)-Cu键角接近90°情况下形成稳定的一维反铁磁(AFM)有序.计算得到GeCuO3不同自旋态的总能量,采用Noodleman的对称性破缺方法拟合出的自旋交换耦合常数表明GeCuO3沿c轴的一维AFM作用非常强,这是导致该体系在低温发生自旋一Peierls相变的根本原因.     

铁磁/超导/铁磁异质结中的态密度谱和局域磁矩

通过自洽求解Bogoliubov-de Gennes(BdG)方程研究不同交换场下铁磁和超导之间的相互作用.我们发现超导体内的自旋单态能够穿透进入铁磁体并能在铁磁体内产生一个"子能隙".不同自旋的"子能隙"随着铁磁交换场的增加会在能谱中发生相对移动,形成各种不同结构的态密度.另外,铁磁体的反邻近效应能够在超导区域引起一个局域磁矩.该磁矩会随着铁磁交换场的增加由负变正,这与界面附近超导和铁磁之间的相互竞争有关.

对新型超导体的研究使旧问题复苏

镧-铜氧化物被看作是新型高温超导体的原型.它会发生反铁磁相变,即铜离子上的磁矩成为反铁磁有序,相变的临界温度敏感地依赖于氧含量.证实La2CuO4-y中存在这种反铁磁相,并用中子散射确定其中磁矩的排列,为磁现象在新型超导氧化物中的重要性提供了确凿的证据.1987年1月,P.Anderson 曾预言,掺Ba或Sr的La2CuO4-y具有的超导电性起源于新奇的铜自旋之间的短程反铁磁关联. 美国和日本的两个研究小组最近报道,La2CuO4-y中铜离子的磁矩甚至在远高于Neel温度TN下是长程反铁磁关联,在TN为195±SK的 La。CuO。_,单晶样品巾,300K时相关长度超…

Electronic structure and magnetic properties of SmCo7-x Tix

Electronic structure of SmCo7-xTix alloy has been studied by means of the spin-polarized MS-X( method. It is shown that a few of electrons are transferred to Sm(5d) orbital due to orbital hybridization between Sm and Co atoms. The exchange interaction between 5d-3d electrons is stronger, which is the main reason resulting in the long-range ferromagnetic order between Co and Sm atoms. The Curie temperature of SmCo7-xTix is generally lower than that of pure Co metal, which may be explained by the weaker average of coupling strength between Co sites due to some negative exchange couplings occurring mainly at 2e site. The calculated results for the Sm5Co28Ti6 cluster may lead to a better understanding of why SmCo7-xTix is stable phase. Since the negative interaction of 2e sites weakens and the bonding at EF strengthens with increasing Ti concentration, which result in the decrease in the free energy of the alloy, the stable ferromagnetic order forms inside SmCo7-xTix. Considering the localization of 4f states and 5d moment arising from the orbital hybridization, the calculated moment is 9.47μB per formula unit that is in agreement with experiments.     

Critical behavior of metal-insulator transition in La1-(x)Sr(x)VO3

Critical behavior of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) coupled with spin/orbital correlations has been investigated for single crystals of La1-(x)Sr(x)VO3. In the paramagnetic (PM) metal phase (x > 0.260), the precursor to the MIT manifests itself as an enhancement of carrier effective mass. In the antiferromagnetic (AF) metal phase (0.178 < or = x < or = 0.260), the carrier density decreases and the correlation of the orbital seems to evolve towards the MIT (x = 0.178). In the AF insulating phase (x < 0.178), the distinct first-order structural phase transition occurs with the decrease of temperature, perhaps concomitantly with the orbital ordering.     

Neutron powder diffraction investigation on the crystal and magnetic structure of (Ho(0.50+x)Ca(0.50-x))(Mn(1-x)Cr(x))O3

The crystal and magnetic structure of (Ho(0.50+x)Ca(0.50-x))(Mn(1-x)Cr(x))O(3) (x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03) has been investigated between 5 and 300 K by means of neutron powder diffraction followed by Rietveld refinement and dc magnetic measurements. During cooling an orthorhombic to monoclinic phase transition occurs on account of the charge and orbital ordering taking place in the Mn sub-lattice; at low temperature phase separation takes place and the main monoclinic phase coexists with a secondary orthorhombic phase, whose amount slightly increases with the increase of Cr content. Cr(3+) is not involved in orbital ordering or superexchange interactions. The charge and magnetic ordering are decoupled: the Mn moments order according to a CE-type structure in all samples.

Fragile magnetic ground state in half-doped LaSr2Mn2O7

We investigated the orbital and antiferromagnetic ordering behaviors of the half-doped bilayer manganite La(2-2x)Sr(1+2x)Mn2O7 (x ? 0.5) by using Mn L(2,3)-edge resonant soft x-ray scattering. Resonant soft x-ray scattering reveals the CE-type orbital order below T(oo) ? 220 K, which shows partial melting behavior below T(m) ? 165 K. We also found coexistence CE- and A-type antiferromagnetic orders. Both orders involve the CE-type orbital order with nearly the same orbital character and are coupled with each other. These results manifest that the ground state with the CE-type antiferromagnetic order is easily susceptible to destabilization into the A-type one even with a small fluctuation of the doping level, as suggested by the extremely narrow magnetic phase boundaries at x ? 0.5±0.005.     

Electronic structure and magnetic properties of metastable SmCo_7 compound

1 Introduction The rare-earth transition-metal intermetallic compounds have been widely investi-gated for many years, among them the Sm-Co series compounds with 1:5 and 2:17 crys-tal structures. These compounds have been used as sintered and bonded permanent magnets since the 1960s[1,2]. Interest recently has been focused on the TbCu7-type struc-ture Sm-Co intermetallic compounds with a strong uniaxial magnetocrytalline anisot-ropy and a low temperature coefficient (β = ?0.11%)[3―6] due t…     

Ferro-type orbital state in the Mott transition system Ca2-xSrxRuO4 studied by the resonant x-ray scattering interference technique

We have succeeded in detecting ferro-type orbital states in Ca2-xSrxRuO4, which is the first outcome in a 4d Mott transition system by the resonant x-ray scattering interference technique. For x=0 (Mott insulator), the resonant signal for d(xy) orbital ordering is observed even at room temperature, in which the Jahn-Teller distortion is negligible. The signal disappears near the metal-insulator transition. On the other hand, in a metallic phase for x=0.5, orbital polarization with d(yz/zx) character dominates. With lowering temperature, the magnitude of the resonant signal slightly decreases owing to the additional influence of the gamma band with d(xy) character.     

Structural aspects of metamagnetism in Ca2-xSrxRuO4: evidence for field tuning of orbital occupation

The crystal structure of Ca(2-x)Sr(x)RuO(4) with 0.2 < or = x < or = 1.0 has been studied by diffraction techniques and by high resolution capacitance dilatometry as a function of temperature and magnetic field. Upon cooling in zero magnetic field, the crystal structure and the octahedra shrink along the c direction and elongate in the a and b planes, whereas the opposite occurs upon cooling at high field (x = 0.2 and 0.5). These findings yield evidence for an orbital rearrangement driven by temperature and magnetic field, which accompanies the metamagnetic transition at low temperature. The temperature and magnetic-field dependencies are found to be governed by the same energy scale.
