La0.7-xDyxSr0.3MnO3(0.00≤x≤0.30)体系低温磁行为和电阻率的反常

By measuring M-T curves, ρ-T curves and MR-T curves of the samples under different temperatures, the influence of Dy doping (0.00 ≤ x ≤0.30) on the magnetic and electric properties of La0.7-xDyxSr0.3MnO3 has been studied. The experimental results show that, with the increase of the Dy content, the system undergoes a transition from long range ferromagnetic order to the cluster-spin glass state and further to antiferromagnetic order. For the samples with x=0.20 and 0.30, their magnetic behaviors are abnormal at low temperature, and their resistivities at low temperature have a minimum value. These peculiar phenomena not only come from the lattice effect induced by doping, but also from extra magnetic coupling induced by doping.     

钙钛石型复合氧化物催化剂LaMn~yCo~1~-~yO~3催化性能的研究 Ⅱ. 过渡金属离子之间的相互作用与在氨氧化反应中的催化性能

发现钙钛石型复合氧化物LaMn~yCo~1~-~yO~3中B位过渡金属离子Mn,Co 之间的相互作用及其氧化还原性是影响氨氧化反应中NO选择的重要因素.B位少量掺杂可促进过渡金属离子的氧化还原性,但B位组成相当时(y=0.5),则不利于它们的氧化还原.富锰区(y>0.5),Mn^3^+-O^2^--Mn^4^+的超交换作用对样品的磁性及NO 选择性起决定作用,富钴区(y<0.5),Co^2^+Co^Ⅲ离子的存在及其浓度是影响NO选择性的主要因素.y=0.5时样品的结构决定了样品的强铁磁性质,并由于Mn^3^+-O^2^--Co^3^+之间不易氧化还原因而对生成NO不利     

Doping effects in single-layered La0.5Sr1.5MnO4 manganite

In this paper we report the results of the synthesis and structural, transport, and magnetic characterization of pure La(0.5)Sr(1.5)MnO(4) and B-site lightly doped samples, i.e. La(0.5)Sr(1.5)Mn(0.95)B(0.05)O(4), where B = Ru, Co, and Ni. The choice was made in order to probe the charge ordering/orbital ordering ground state of the monolayered La(0.5)Sr(1.5)MnO(4) manganite as a consequence of the cation doping. It is shown that even a light doping is successful in suppressing the charge and orbital order found in pure La(0.5)Sr(1.5)MnO(4). No long-range magnetic order has been detected in any of the doped samples but the setup of a spin-glass state with a common freezing temperature ( approximately 22 K). Structural parameters show an anisotropy in the lattice constant variation, with the tetragonal distortion increasing as the cell volume reduces, which may suggest a variation in the orbital character of the e(g) electrons along with the overall cation size.     

Luminescence,Plasmonic, and Magnetic Properties of Doped Semiconductor Nanocrystals

Introducing a few atoms of impurities or dopants in semiconductor nanocrystals can drastically alter the existing properties or even introduce new properties. For example, mid-gap states created by doping tremendously affect photocatalytic activities and surface controlled redox reactions, generate new emission centers, show thermometric optical switching, make FRET donors by enhancing the excited state lifetime, and also create localized surface plasmon resonance induced low energy absorption. In addition, researchers have more recently started focusing their attention on doped nanocrystals as an important and alternative material for solar energy conversion to meet the current demand for renewable energy. Moreover, the electrical and magnetic properties of the host are also strongly altered on doping. These beneficial dopant-induced changes suggest that doped nanocrystals with proper selections of dopant–host pairs may be helpful for generating designer materials for a wide range of current technological needs. How properties relate to the doping of a variety of semiconductor nanocrystals are summarized in this Review.     

Silver delafossite oxides

A single-step, low-temperature (<210 degrees C) and -pressure (<20 atm) hydrothermal method has been developed to synthesize a series of silver delafossites, AgBO2 (B = Al, Ga, Sc, and In). Experimental and computational studies were performed to understand the optical and electric properties of these silver delafossites, including the first in-depth study of AgAlO2 and AgScO2. Their properties were examined as a function of the trivalent cation radius and compared to those of copper delafossites to elucidate the role of both the A- and B-site cations. While optical band gaps for silver delafossites were larger and visible light absorption was lower than values previously reported for polycrystalline powder samples of copper delafossites, the conductivities of silver delafossites are similar or lower. Electronic structure calculations indicate that these properties are due to the scarcity of silver 4d states just below the valence band maximum.     

First-principles investigation of A-B intersite charge transfer and correlated electrical and magnetic properties in BiCu3Fe4O12

First-principles calculations using the augmented plane wave plus local orbitals method, as implemented in the WIEN2K code, have been carried out to study the A-B intersite charge transfer and the correlated electrical and magnetic properties of the perovskite BiCu(3)Fe(4)O(12), especially as regards the charge transfer. The results indicate that the charge transfer between A-site Cu and B-site Fe is by way of O 2p orbitals, and during this process orbital hybridization plays an important role. More importantly, the charge transfer is of 3d(9) + 4d(5)L(0.75) →3d(9)L + 4d(5) type (here L denotes an oxygen hole or a ligand hole). During this process, the magnetic interaction experiences a transition from Cu-Fe ferrimagnetic coupling to G-type antiferromagnetic coupling within B-site Fe with paramagnetic Cu(3+). As to electrical property, it undergoes a metal to insulator transition. All our calculated results are consistent with the available experimental results.     

Study of Graphdiyne-based Magnetic Materials

Carbon-based magnetic semiconductors are easy to be modified with low cost and low power consumption.While they can demonstrate robust long-range magnetic ordering and show great potential for application after introducing magnetic moments.Graphdiyne(GDY),as an allotrope of carbon,exhibits intrinsic semiconductor properties and paramagnetic properties due to its unique structure and the presence of sp carbon.To improve the magnetic properties of GDY and prepare excellent magnetic semiconductor materials,scientists have done a lot of related research work.The most direct and effective method to introduce magnetism is heteroatom doping.In this review,we have entirely described the latest GDY magnetism introduction methods,effects,and theoretical calculations,etc.Doping methods include post-doping and molecular design doping.The doping elements have covered non-metallic elements(N,H,F,Cl,S),metallic elements(Fe),and functional groups.The magnetic properties of the modified GDY materials were studied by experimental analysis and theoretical calculations.This review provides a sufficient basis and direction for related researches.     

Energy Stabilities,Magnetic Properties,and Electronic Structures of Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor Zn1-xMnxS(001) Thin Films

We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of the diluted magnetic semiconductors Zn_1-xMn_xS(001) thin films with different Mn doping concentrations using the total energy density functional theory. The energy stability and density of states of a single Mn atom and two Mn atoms at various doped configurations and different magnetic coupling state were calculated. Different doping configurations have different degrees of p-d hybridization, and because Mn atoms are located in different crystal-field environment, the 3d projected densities of states peak splitting of different Mn doping configurations are quite different. In the two Mn atoms doped, the calculated ground states of three kinds of stable configurations are anti-ferromagnetic state. We analyzed the 3d density of states diagram of three kinds of energy stability configurations with the two Mn atoms in different magnetic coupling state. When the two Mn atoms are ferromagnetic coupling, due to d-d electron interactions, density of states of anti-bonding state have significant broadening peaks. As the concentration of Mn atoms increases, there is a tendency for Mn atoms to form nearest neighbors and cluster around S. For such these configurations, the antiferromagnetic coupling between Mn atoms is energetically more favorable.     

Structures and Electromagnetic Properties of Boron Nitride Nanoribbons Doped with Transition Metals

Inspired by the recent discovery of the Ti-doped BN nanocages, here we report the design of novel boron nitride (BN) nanoribbons (BNNRs) doped with fourth-row transition metals (Sc−Cu) and the prediction of their structural and electromagnetic properties. First-principles calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations show that Ti-doped BNNR possesses both thermodynamic and kinetic stability at high temperatures for synthesis of BN materials. Metal doping may make the nonmagnetic pristine BNNR ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic, depending on the metal. The doping with all considered metals reduces substantially the band gap of pristine BNNR. For example, Sc-doped BNNR is ferromagnetic with an indirect band gap of 1.18 eV, while V-doped nanoribbon is antiferromagnetic with a direct gap of 2.50 eV. Remarkably, the carrier mobility in both materials is significantly enhanced compared to the pristine BNNR. Our findings suggest that doping with different metals may endow BNNRs with versatile electronic and magnetic properties.     

Magnetically active Ag–Zn nanoferrites synthesized by solution combustion route: physical chemical studies and density functional theory analysis

Nanoparticles with mixed compositions, particularly spinel ferrites with magnetic activity, have arisen as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic hyperthermia. For such applications, it is desirable to possess specific particle size and physicochemical properties, i.e., magnetic response, porosity, crystallinity, and so on. It is well known that controlling specific variables in the synthetic process has a dramatic effect on final product properties and behavior. Amid preparation techniques reported in the literature, low-temperature solution combustion method has shown the ability to control and direct synthesis simply and efficiently. We are presenting a study about controlling and tuning the magnetic properties and the effect of particle size modified in Ag–Zn nanoferrites with different amounts of Co and Ni as doping metals. Different combinations of Co and Ni within Ag–Zn (Ag_0.25Zn_0.5-xM_xFe_2.25O₄) nanoferrites have been synthesized using the low-temperature solution combustion technique, and this method proved to be efficient and reliable for developing homogenous, fine structured materials. X-ray diffraction confirmed that the atomic structure of prepared nanoferrites is pure and cubic, whereas electron microscopy confirmed a semispherical and monodisperse morphology with particle diameter around 20 nm. The magnetic behavior of bred materials has been explained by analyzing magnetic factors such as saturation magnetization, coercivity, and retentivity, and all experimental findings are matched with theoretical density functional theory (DFT) studies to understand the effect of each material within A and B sites in ferrite crystal cell. The observed magnetic properties highlight the superparamagnetic behavior and the effect of doping metals which is an asset in developing new materials for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. DFT modeling was achieved in an attempt to understand the effect of metal substitution in cubic ferrite cells.

Theoretical insights on the electron doping and Curie temperature in La-doped Sr2CrWO6

The structure and electronic and magnetic properties of La(x)Sr(2-x)CrWO(6) (x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) were investigated by using the density functional theory. With the increase of La doping, the extra electrons are injected into W 5d orbitals, which makes the spin moments of W increase. In addition, the calculated Curie temperature and total magnetic moments decrease with the increase of the electron doping, in agreement with the experimental observation. This also means that the decrease of Curie temperature with the electron doping is intrinsic. Half metallic properties are obtained for x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.5, and 2.0, whereas for x = 1.0, the compound is semiconducting.

Hybrid density functional theory band structure engineering in hematite

We present a hybrid density functional theory (DFT) study of doping effects in α-Fe(2)O(3), hematite. Standard DFT underestimates the band gap by roughly 75% and incorrectly identifies hematite as a Mott-Hubbard insulator. Hybrid DFT accurately predicts the proper structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of hematite and, unlike the DFT+U method, does not contain d-electron specific empirical parameters. We find that using a screened functional that smoothly transitions from 12% exact exchange at short ranges to standard DFT at long range accurately reproduces the experimental band gap and other material properties. We then show that the antiferromagnetic symmetry in the pure α-Fe(2)O(3) crystal is broken by all dopants and that the ligand field theory correctly predicts local magnetic moments on the dopants. We characterize the resulting band gaps for hematite doped by transition metals and the p-block post-transition metals. The specific case of Pd doping is investigated in order to correlate calculated doping energies and optical properties with experimentally observed photocatalytic behavior.

First-principles study of electronic and magnetic properties of Co(n)Mn(m) and Co(n)V(m) (m + n < or = 6) clusters

The electronic and magnetic properties of small Co(n)Mn(m) and Co(n)V(m) (m + n < or = 6) clusters are systematically studied using density functional theory. The results show that Co and V atoms prefer to aggregate in Co-Mn and Co-V clusters, respectively. Significant magnetic moment enhancement in Co-Mn clusters with Mn doping and reduction in Co-V clusters with V doping are found, consistent with experiment results for larger clusters [Phys. Rev. Lett. 2007, 98, 113401]. The results are discussed by analyzing the magnetic coupling type and local magnetic moment on each atoms. Density of states and vertical ionization potentials are calculated and show cluster size dependent behavior.     

First-principle Study of AunSc (n=2～13) Clusters

The geometries, stabilities, electronic, and magnetic properties of Au_nSc clusters have been systematically investigated by density functional theory. The lowest energy structures of Au_nSc favor planar structure and the doped Sc atom does not disturb the frame of Au_nclusters with n≤11. For n≥12, Sc atom is fully encapsulated by the Au cages. From theanalysis of the second-order energy difference, the fragmentation energies, vertical ionizationpotential, vertical electron affinity, and HOMO-LUMO gap, the clusters with odd Au atoms possess relatively higher stabilities than their neighbor size. The doping of Sc atom can greatly improve the stability and change the sequence of chemical activity for Au_n. For n≤11, the total magnetic moments of Au_nSc appear the alternation between 0.00 and 1.00 μB. The total magnetic moments are quenched when Sc is trapped into the Au cages with n≥12.     

Structural and magnetic properties of double perovskite oxide Ba2CeSbO6

The structural and magnetic properties of a double perovskite oxide Ba₂CeSbO₆ (BCSO) synthesized by solid state reaction technique have been investigated. The Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction pattern of BCSO suggests the monoclinic crystal structure at room temperature with P2₁/n space group. The vibrational properties of BCSO are investigated by the Fourier transform Infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectrum confirms the B-site ordering of cations in BCSO. The temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility data in the field cooled mode show the anti-ferromagnetic behaviour of BCSO below 59 K. The core level X-ray photoemission (XPS) spectrum of Ce-3d and Sb-3d states confirms the presence of multiple oxidation states of these cations. The presence of both the Ce³⁺ and Ce⁴⁺ ions in BCSO gives the 4f^4−δ intermediate valence state which may reduce the effective magnetic moment with respect to the system having single valence Ce³⁺ ion.     

The Influence of Yb Doping and Sintering Conditions on the Magnetocaloric and Mechanical Properties of EuS

For this work, europium monosulfide (EuS) powders were prepared by sulfurizing Eu₂O₃ powder with CS₂ gas. The synthesized EuS powders were sintered by SPS at temperatures in the 800–1600 °C range for 0.33–1 h at 50 MPa under vacuum conditions. The influences of Yb doping and sintering conditions on the magnetocaloric and mechanical properties of EuS were investigated systematically. An increase in sintering temperature caused the rise of lattice parameters of EuS, whereas Yb doping caused them to drop. SEM showed that the grain size of the EuS increased with sintering temperatures in the 1000–1400 °C range. Higher sintering temperatures can enlarge the magnetizability and saturation magnetization of EuS compact. On the contrary, Yb doping can weaken the magnetizability and saturation magnetization of EuS compact. All sintered polycrystalline EuS compacts had weaker thermomagnetic irreversibility and lower magnetic anisotropy.
