用溶胶-凝胶制备了La0.833K0.167MnO3-SrTiO3(LKMO/STO)系列样品,并研究了它们的结构、磁性和输运特性.X射线衍射实验表明,1200℃烧结的LKMO/STO(STLK12)是一个均匀的固溶相.其电阻率表现为绝缘体的行为,而纯La0.833K0.167MnO3(LKMO)样品随温度的升高则有金属-绝缘体转变.在低场下(μ0H=0.02 T),对STLK12样品,当温度从220 K降低到4 K时,磁电阻从0.2%升高到11%.在高场下(μ0H=5.5 T),随着温度降低,磁电阻几乎是线性增大.在4.2 K时,达到65%.比纯LKMO样品40%的磁电阻高出了25%.我们用晶界处的自旋极化隧穿效应定性地解释了这种增强的磁电阻效应.

Ag掺杂对La0.7Ca0.2Sr0.1MnO3室温磁电阻效应的增强

本文采用固相反应法制备了一系列La07Ca0.2Sr0.1MnO3/Ag复合物样品,分别测量了样品的XRD图、电阻-温度曲线、磁化强度-温度曲线及磁电阻随温度、磁场的变化关系.实验结果表明,金属Ag颗粒均匀地填隙在La0.7Ca0.2Sr01MnO3晶界处,没有与母体La0.7Ca02Sr0.1MnO3发生反应.该系列样品的金属-绝缘体转变温度Tp及居里温度Tc与LCSMO的Tp及Tp保持一致,没有受到Ag填隙原子的影响.值得注意的是室温下的磁电阻效应显著增强,当Ag掺杂量为25%时,磁电阻效应分别达到23%(316 K,0.3 T)和40%(303 K,2.5 T).这是因为填隙在La07Ca0.2Sr01MnO3晶界上的Ag有效地改善了晶粒边界,使得磁电阻效应增强.     

La0.5Sm0.2Sr0.3MnO3/x（Sb2O3）体系电输运性质及MR温度稳定性

用固相反应法制备La0.5Sm0.2Sr0.3MnO3/x(Sb2O3)(x=0.00,0.02,0.04,0.05,0.075,0.10,0.15)系列样品,通过X射线衍射(XRD)谱、电阻率-温度(ρ～T)曲线、ρ～T拟合曲线、磁电阻-温度(MR～T)曲线,研究了该体系的电输运性质及MR的温度稳定性.所有样品的电输运性质都表现出绝缘体-金属相变,相变温度很高(312K)且基本保持不变,随Sb2O3复合量增大,电阻率迅速增大,类金属导电可以用ρ=ρ0+AT2公式拟合,表明导电机制是电子-电子相互作用,x=0.075的样品,在200～320K温区磁电阻基本保持不变,MR的温度稳定性是晶界引起的隧穿磁电阻与钙钛矿颗粒体相本征磁电阻竞争的结果.

(1-x)La_(0.7)Ca_(0.3)MnO_3/xCoFe_2O_4复合体系的电子输运和磁电阻特性的研究

本文采用两步法制备了(1-x)La0.7Ca0.3MnO3/xCoFe2O4复合样品,对样品的电磁输运特性的测量表明,随着CFO含量的增加,复合样品电阻率增大,且出现双峰,而比饱和磁矩却先减小后增大;另外在样品中观察到了低温增强的磁电阻效应,这一低场磁电阻效应与颗粒晶界处传导电子所受到的自旋极化隧穿和散射有关.     

纳米多晶La0.7Sr0.3MnO3－δ的输运性质和磁电阻效应研究

利用溶胶-凝胶法制备了纳米多晶La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO_3-δ(LSM)块体样品.详细研究了在不同烧结温度下的LSM样品电阻率随测量温度的变化关系和磁电阻效应.随着测量温度从室温降低,电阻率ρ都在250K附近存在最大值,低于该温度后,样品表现为金属导电特性,随后在50K左右存在一极小值.即随着温度从50K左右降低到4.2K,ρ反而逐渐升高,表现为绝缘体性的导电特性.研究表明,在低温下(<50K),ρ随温度降低而升高的现象与隧穿效应的理论模型(lnρ∝T^1/2)符合得很好,表明这种现象是由于传导电子在通过邻近LSM晶粒间表面/界面层时的隧道效应所致.而在50—250K的温度范围内,其电阻率与T²成正比,表现为LSM本征的金属导电特性.因此这种低温下电阻率的极小值现象来源于隧穿效应和LSM晶粒本征的金属导电特性的相互竞争.本文还详细研究了相应的隧道磁电阻效应. 关键词： 0.7Sr_0.3MnO_3-δ')" href="#">多晶La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO_3-δ 隧道效应 隧道磁电阻效应

Physical properties of BaMg1/3Nb2/3O3-BaCo1/3Nb2/3O3 solid solutions

Structural, electric and magnetic properties of Ba₃Mg_1−xCo_xNb₂O₉ based dielectric ceramic compounds have been studied. The samples, prepared by a solid state reaction method, were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), electron microscopy (SEM), dielectric (ε(T)) and magnetic measurements (χ⁻¹(T)). The XRPD analyses showed that the crystal structure of these compounds does change by the increase of substitution degree, passing from a superstructure hexagonal-type, (no. 164), space group (SG) to a simple structure cubic-type, (no. 221), SG. However, the evolution of the elementary unit cell lattice parameter can be followed and it exhibit a linear increasing tendency with increase in the substitution, indicating the existence of a solid solution through out the investigated range of substitution (0-1). The microstructure analysis shows a variation in the grain size and also the porosity of the samples with the degree of substitution. The results are in good agreement with that of dielectric measurements, which also showed that the dielectric constant (ε) increases with the increase of cobalt content. The magnetic characterization of cobalt substituted samples showed an antiferromagnetic type super-exchange interaction between these magnetic ions. At the same time, the values of effective magnetic momentum (μ_eff) are close to the value that corresponds to Co²⁺ free ions. The study highlights the possibility of modelling these materials by substitutions, in order to improve properties of negative-positive-zero (NPO) type dielectric applications.

Temperature-dependent photoluminescence in La2/3Ca1/3MnO3

Visible photoluminescence and its temperature dependence of La_2/3Ca_1/3MnO₃ in the temperature range 138-293 K were measured. It was observed that the main broad band centered at ∼1.77 eV with the shoulders at ∼1.57 and ∼1.90 eV existed in the entire temperature range. It can be well fitted by three Gaussian curves B₁, B₂ and B₃ centered at ∼1.52, ∼1.75 and ∼1.92 eV, respectively. The intensities of the peak B₁ and B₂ vary as temperature increases. In the entire temperature range, the intensity of B₁ increases with increasing temperature, whereas that of B₂ decreases. The photoluminescence mechanisms for La_2/3Ca_1/3MnO₃ are presented based on the electronic structures formed by the interactions among spin, charge and lattice, in which B₁ was identified with the charge transfer excitation of an electron from the lower Jahn-Teller split e_g level of a Mn³⁺ ion to the e_g level of an adjacent Mn⁴⁺ ion, B₂ is assigned to the transition between the spin up and spin down e_g bands separated by Hund's coupling energy E_J and B₃ is attributed to the transition, determined by the crystal field energy E_C, between a t_2g core electron of Mn³⁺ to the spin up e_g bands of Mn⁴⁺ by a dipole allowed charge transfer process.     

La2/3Ca1/3MnO3/Eu2CuO4/La2/3Ca1/3MnO3磁性隧道结的制备与表征

采用磁控溅射，紫外线光刻和离子束刻蚀制备了La_2/3Ca_1/3MnO₃/Eu₂CuO₄/La_2/3Ca_1/3MnO₃磁性隧道结.通过对获得的磁性隧道结的I-V特性测量，发现非线性的I-V特性，显示结样品的隧穿特性.有趣的是发现在电极材料La_2/3Ca_1/3MnO₃的金属-绝缘体转变温度(Tp)以下，I-V曲线出现一个跳变.随着温度降低，开始出现跳变的临界电流增大，但是跳变都发生在同样的电压下～209mV.当电流增大或减小在跳变点附近出现回滞.这一跳变只发生在铁磁金属态，表明这是一个磁性相关联的效应，可能对应一种新的磁性开关过程.虽然，目前对这一现象背后的物理机理还不清楚，但是，这一现象有可能在未来自旋电子学器件方面具有潜在的应用价值. 关键词： 庞磁电阻 磁性隧道结 开关效应     

Giant dielectric relaxation in SrTiO3-SrMg1/3Nb2/3O3 and SrTiO3-SrSc1/2Ta1/2O3 solid solutions

Ceramic samples of (1−x)SrTiO₃-xSrMg_1/3Nb_2/3O₃ and (1−x)SrTiO₃-xSrSc_1/2Ta_1/2O₃ were prepared, and their dielectric properties were studied at x=0.005–0.15 and 0.01–0.1, respectively, at frequencies 10 Hz–1 MHz and at temperatures 4.2–350 K. A giant dielectric relaxation was observed in the temperature range 150–300 K, and not so strong but well-developed relaxation was found in the temperature range 20–90 K. The activation energy U and the relaxation time τ₀ were determined to be 0.21–0.3 eV and from 10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻¹² s for the high-temperature relaxation and 0.01–0.02 eV and 10⁻⁸–10⁻¹⁰ s for the low-temperature relaxation, respectively. The additional local charge compensation of the heterovalent impurities Mg²⁺ and Nb⁵⁺ (or Sc³⁺ and Ta⁵⁺) by free charge carriers or the host ion vacancies is suggested to be the underlying physical mechanism of the relaxation phenomena. On the basis of this mechanism, the Maxwell-Wagner model and the model of reorienting dipole centers Mg²⁺ (or Sc³⁺) associated with the oxygen vacancy are proposed to explain the high-temperature relaxation with some arguments in favor of the latter model. The polaron-like model with the Nb⁵⁺-Ti³⁺ center is suggested as the origin of the low-temperature relaxation. The reasons for the absence of ferroelectric phase transitions in the solid solutions under study are also discussed. From Fizika Tverdogo Tela, Vol. 44, No. 11, 2002, pp. 1948–1957.

Polarization characteristics of the relaxor ceramics of multicomponent system with PbNb2/3Zn1/3O3, PbNb2/3Mg1/3O3, and PbTiO3

The phenomenon of dielectric hysteresis in the relaxor ceramics of multicomponent system with PbNb_2/3Zn1/₃O₃, PbNb_2/3Mg_1/3O₃, PbTiO₃ has been studied. The influence of different modifiers on polarization characteristics is examined and the correlations of these properties with the phase and chemical composition of the ceramics are investigated. The results obtained can be used to predict relaxor properties.     

Spin-polarized tunneling in nanostructured La2/3Sr1/3MnO3

We present magnetic and transport properties of nanocrystalline La_2/3Sr_1/3MnO₃ powders prepared by a gel-combustion method using citric acid as the fuel. The coercive magnetic field H_c is significantly different to the field H_c^* for which the magnetoresistance (MR) is maximum. The MR at low fields (LFMR) exhibits a power-law dependence with magnetization, MR∝Mⁿ, with n=2.5–3.3 for temperatures ranging from 5 to 200 K. The results are discussed in terms of a distribution of particle size in our sample.     

Electric and magnetic behaviour in double doped La2/3＋4x/3Sr1/3-4x/3Mn1-xMgxO3

The double-doped La2/3＋4x/3Sr1/3-4x/3Mn1-xMgxO3 samples with fixed Mn^3＋/Mn^4＋ ratio equal to 2/1 are investigated by means of magnetism and transport measurements. Phase separation is observed at temperature higher than T^onset c for x = 0.10 and 0.15. For x = 0.10, rather strong phase separation induces drastic magnetic random potential and results in the localization of carriers. Thus, the varlable-range hopping process dominates. For other samples, there is no or only weak phase separation above T^onset c. Thus, thermal activation mechanism is responsible for the high temperature transport behaviour. For x = 0.20 and 0.25, unexpected AFM behaviour is observed at low temperature. All these results are well understood by considering the special role of the ＂double-doping＂.     

E-T phase diagrams of a solid solution of the multicomponent PbZn1/3Nb2/3O3-PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3-PbNi1/3Nb2/3O3-PbTiO3 system near the morphotropic phase boundary

The specific features of the dielectric and pyroelectric responses of a solid solution in the barium-doped multicomponent yPbZn_1/3Nb_2/3O₃-mPbMg_1/3Nb_2/3O₃-nPbNi_1/3Nb_2/3O₃-xPbTiO₃ system of the composition y = 0.0982, m = 0.4541, n = 0.1477, and x = 0.3 near the morphotropic phase boundary have been investigated. It has been assumed that the maxima revealed in the dependences of the reversible permittivity on the electric field strength with both the forward and backward changes in the field (E ₌) are associated with the induced phase transition. Based on the experimental results, the E-T phase diagrams are constructed in the temperature range from ?100 to 150°C for different temperature-field regimes: (i) variation in the electric field E ₌ at a fixed temperature of the sample and (ii) variation in the temperature of the sample at a constant value of E ₌. It has been found that there is a singular point in the E-T phase diagram and that, in the vicinity of this point, the dielectric and pyroelectric responses of the studied ceramics exhibit specific features.     

Room temperature magnetoresistance in Ln2/3A1/3MnO3 manganites

The investigation of the manganites La_2/3−xPr_xSr_1/3MnO₃, La_2/3Sr_1/3−xCa_xMnO₃ and La_2/3+xCa_1/3−2xAg_xMnO₃, which all exhibit Mn³⁺:Mn⁴⁺=2, shows that it is possible to reach high magnetoresistance at room temperature, up to 21% under 1.2 T. These materials are compared to La_5/6Ag_1/6MnO₃ which corresponds to the same Mn³⁺:Mn⁴⁺ ratio and exhibits a magnetoresistance of 25% in this field. An interesting feature deals with the value of the insulator-metal transition temperature T_IM, often higher than T_C, especially for Ag-based compounds. It is suggested that the latter results either from a better oxygenation of the surface of the grains or from a migration of silver toward the surface.
