A density-wave-like transition in the polycrystalline V3Sb2 sample with bilayer kagome lattice

Recently,transition-metal-based kagome metals have aroused much research interest as a novel platform to explore exotic topological quantum phenomena.Here we report on the synthesis,structure,and physical properties of a bilayer kagome lattice compound V₃Sb₂.The polycrystalline V₃Sb₂ samples were synthesized by conventional solid-state-reaction method in a sealed quartz tube at temperatures below 850℃.Measurements of magnetic susceptibility and resistivity revealed consistently a density-wave-like transition at Tdw≈160 K with a large thermal hysteresis,even though some sample-dependent behaviors were observed presumably due to the different preparation conditions.Upon cooling through Tdw,no strong anomaly in lattice parameters and no indication of symmetry lowering were detected in powder x-ray diffraction measurements.This transition can be suppressed completely by applying hydrostatic pressures of about 1.8 GPa,around which no sign of superconductivity was observed down to 1.5 K.Specific-heat measurements revealed a relatively large Sommerfeld coefficientγ=18.5 mJ·mol^-1·K^-2,confirming the metallic ground state with moderate electronic correlations.Density functional theory calculations indicate that V₃Sb₂ shows a non-trivial topological crystalline property.Thus,our study makes V₃Sb₂ a new candidate of metallic kagome compound to study the interplay between density-wave-order,nontrivial band topology,and possible superconductivity.     

高电阻温度系数(La0.67Ca0.33MnO3)1-x∶Agx多晶陶瓷的研究

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了(La0.67Ca0.33 MnO3)1-x∶Agx(x=0.00、0.10、0.15、0.20、0.3、0.4、0.5)系列多晶陶瓷样品,通过XRD、SEM和标准四探针法对材料晶体结构、表面形貌和电学性能的分析研究Ag的添加对材料性能的影响.结果表明:随着Ag添加量的增加,样品的晶格常数逐渐增大,这是由于Ag取代La3+、Ca2+进入晶格使其发生膨胀;并且样品的金属-绝缘体转变温度(Tp)随Ag添加量的增加而升高,从270 K(x=0)升高到281 K(x=0.5),这是由于Ag对La3+、Ca2+的替换导致Mn4+/Mn3+比例增大而提高了双交换作用.值得注意的是,当0.00≤x≤0.15时,TCR值随x的增大而增大,当x=0.15时达到最大值58.6;·K-1;0.15≤x≤0.5时,TCR反而随之降低,这可能是由于高添加量导致材料的烧结质量降低.

High pressure synthesis and characterization of the pyrochlore Dy2Pt2O7:A new spin ice material

The cubic pyrochlore Dy2Pt2O7 was synthesized under 4 GPa and 1000℃ and its magnetic and thermodynamic properties were characterized by DC and AC magnetic susceptibility and specific heat down to 0.1 K.We found that Dy2Pt2O7 does not form long-range magnetic order,but displays characteristics of canonical spin ice such as Dy2Pt2O7,including(1)a large effective moment 9.64μB close to the theoretical value and a small positive Curie-Weiss temperatureθCW=+0.77 K signaling a dominant ferromagnetic interaction among the Ising spins;(2)a saturation moment ~4.5μB being half of the total moment due to the local<111>Ising anisotropy;(3)thermally activated spin relaxation behaviors in the low(~1 K)and high(~20 K)temperature regions with different energy barriers and characteristic relaxation time;and most importantly,(4)the presence of a residual entropy close to Pauling’s estimation for water ice.

晶格失配和退火氧压对La_(0.825)Ca_(0.175)MnO_3薄膜的电学性能的影响（英文）

采用紫外脉冲激光沉积技术分别在LaA lO 3(LAO)、(LaA lO 3)0.3-(SrA lT aO 6)0.7(LSAT)和SrT iO 3(STO)(001)单晶衬底上制备了La0.825Ca0.175MnO 3(LCMO)薄膜。实验发现衬底的晶格失配度和退火氧压对薄膜结晶质量和电学性能有重要影响。电阻-温度曲线显示,生长在LAO(压应变)的LCMO薄膜比生长在STO(拉伸应变)的薄膜有更高的绝缘体-金属转变温度Tp和更大的电阻温度系数(TCR)。增加退火氧压可以有效地提高薄膜的Tp和TCR值。当退火氧压为30000 Pa时,与衬底晶格失配度最小的LCMO/LSAT薄膜具有最高的Tp(234.5 K)和最大的TCR(22.4%)。实验结果表明Ca含量为0.175的La1-xCaxMnO 3薄膜材料在测辐射热计等方面有潜在的应用前景。

Critical behavior and effect of Sr substitution in double perovskite Ca_2CrSbO_6

The double perovskite Ca2CrSbO6 exhibits a ferromagnetic long-range order below Tc=13 K and a saturation magnetization of 2.35μB at 2 K.In this study,the polycrystalline Ca2CrSbO6 is synthesized under high pressure and high temperature,and the critical behavior of the ferromagnetic material as well as the effects of the magnetic behavior due to the isovalent substitution of Sr2+for Ca2+is investigated.Also studied are the ferromagnetic criticality of the double perovskite Ca2CrSbO6 at the ferromagnetic transition temperature Tc≈12.6 K from the isotherms of magnetization M(H)via an iteration process and the Kouvel–Fisher method.The critical exponents associated with the transition are determined as follows:β=0.322,γ=1.241,andδ=4.84.The magnetization data in the vicinity of Tc can be scaled into two universal curves in the plot of M/|ε|βversus H/|ε|β+γ,whereε=T/Tc?1.The obtainedβandγvalues are consistent with the predicted values from a three-dimensional Ising model.The effects of Sr substitution on the double perovskite Ca2CrSbO6 are taken into consideration.As the Sr content increases,the(Ca2?xSrx)CrSbO6 polycrystal shows a continuous switch from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic behavior.
