失配因子σ2对掺杂锰基钙钛矿氧化物输运性质的影响

掺杂量、A位阳离子平均半径及失配因子是影响掺杂锰基钙钛矿氧化物从顺磁绝缘体到铁磁金属转变的主要因素，为了突出研究失配因子的影响，本文固定掺杂量和A位阳离子平均半径制备了一系列样品。0和5T磁场下电阻率与温度关系测量表明，随着失配因子的增加，绝缘体-金属转变温度向低温区移动且与σ^2岩保持线性关系；通过调节失配因子，样品La0.53Sm0.17Sr0.3MnO3的磁电阻在室温附近达到了极大值。结合样品的电输运行为，对实验结果进行了讨论。     

(1-x)La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)MnO_3/xCuO复合体系与La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)Mn_(1-x)Cu_xO_3电输运行为比较

用不同实验方法制备了名义组分为(1-x)La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)MnO_3/xCuO(LCMO/CuO)和La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)Mn_(1-x)Cu_xO_3(LCMCO)两组样品,在宽的温度范围内研究了样品的电输运行为随Cu含量x的变化关系,发现这两组样品表现出不同的行为.对于LCMCO,随x的增加,金属-绝缘体转变温度T_p迅速降低,当x=5.5%,样品表现出绝缘体导电行为;而LCMO/CuO复合样品,当x≤6%时,随x增加,Tp逐渐下降,x≥6%时,T_p不再继续降低,所有样品几乎表现出相同的电输运行为.另外,这两组样品均表现出较好的低场磁电阻效应(LFMR),在0.3 T下样品的最大磁电阻分别达到了～76%和88%.基于样品结构以及制备过程的分析,我们认为LFMR效应的增强主要是因为颗粒边界上形成的Cu相关自旋无序层引起的.     

La4/3Ca5/3Mn2O7的结构、电输运及磁性质研究

采用溶胶-凝胶法,在不同温度烧结制备了名义组分为La4/3Ca5/3Mn2O7的多晶样品.X射线结构分析以及电、磁输运性质的测量表明:La4/3Ca5/3Mn2O7形成的是La2/3Ca1/3MnO3和CaO的混合物.     

First-Principles Based Model of Spin-state Phase Transition

The nature of spin-state phase transition is investigated with [Fe（C4H4N2）（Pt（CN）4}] that is＂ a novel 3D Hofmann-like compound. The bistability of this system is obtained by the first-principles calculation. It is demonstrated that thermal expansion is the intrinsic force involved in spin-state transition. Based on these results, we suggest a thermal exciting bistable model of spin-state transition with a temperature dependent crystal-field splitting （CFS）. Experimental evidence of spin-state phase transition coincides with our theoretical model. This model approaches something fundamental in the mechanism leading to the transition, and it is important in developing new and practical controllable quantum devices.
