Multiferroic properties of solben gel derived Bi5Fe1-xCoxTi3O15 thin films

Co-doped Bi₅FeTi₃O₁₅ thin films (BFCT-x, Bi₅Fe_1-xCo_xTi₃O₁₅) were prepared using a sol—gel technique. XRD patterns confirm their single phase Aurivillius structure, and the corresponding powder Rietveld analysis indicates the change of space group around x=0.12. The magnetic hysteresis loops are obtained and ferromagnetism is therefore confirmed in BFCT-x thin films. The remanent magnetization (M_r) first increases and reaches the maximum value of 0.42 emu/cm³ at x=0.12 due to the possible Fe³⁺—O—Co³⁺ ferromagnetic coupling. When x = 0.25, the M_r increases again because of the dominant Fe³⁺—O—Co³⁺ ferromagnetic coupling. The remanent polarization (2P_r) of BFCT-0.25 was measured to be as high as 62 μC/cm², a 75% increase when compared with the non-doped BFCT-0 films. The 2P_r remains almost unchanged after being subjected to 5.2 × 10⁹ read/write cycles. Greatly enhanced ferroelectric properties are considered to be associated with decreased leakage current density.

Site occupancy and magnetic study of Al and Cr co-substituted Y3Fe5O12

Single-phased polycrystalline Y₃Fe_5−2xAl_xCr_xO₁₂ garnet samples (x=0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6) have been prepared by the conventional ceramic technique. Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples shows them to crystallize in the Ia3d space group and the corresponding lattice constant to decrease with increasing Al³⁺ and Cr³⁺ contents (x). Mössbauer results indicate that Cr³⁺ substitutes for Fe³⁺ at the octahedral sites whilst Al³⁺ essentially replaces Fe³⁺ at the tetrahedral sites. This result indicates that co-doping of Y₃Fe₅O₁₂ does not affect the preferential site occupancy for separate individual substitution of either Cr³⁺ or Al³⁺. The magnetization measurements reveal that the Curie temperature (T_c) monotonically decreases with increasing x while the magnetic moment per unit formula decreases up to x=0.4 and then slightly increases for x=0.6. This reflects a progressive weakening of the ferrimagnetic exchange interaction between the Fe³⁺ ions at octahedral and tetrahedral sites due to co-substitution. The magnetic moment was calculated using the cations distribution inferred from the Mössbauer data and the collinear ferrimagnetic model, and was found to agree reasonably with the experimentally measured value. The phenomenological amplitude crossover, characterized by the temperature T*, has also been observed in the doped YIG and briefly discussed.     

Effect of Zn substitution on the magnetic properties of Mg1−xZnxFe2O4 ferrites

Polycrystalline Mg_1−xZn_xFe₂O₄ (x=0.0–0.6) ferrites have been prepared using solid-state reaction technique. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the samples crystallize in a single-phase cubic spinel structure. The lattice parameter increases linearly with increase in zinc content obeying Vegard's law. The continuous decrease in Curie temperature (T_c) with an increase in Zn content is attributed to the weakening of A–B exchange interaction. Saturation magnetization (M_s) and magnetic moment are observed to increase up to x=0.4, and thereafter decrease due to the spin canting in B-sites. The initial permeability is found to increase with the addition of Zn²⁺ ions but the resonance frequency shifts towards the lower frequency.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of Pr(Fe 1-xCo x) 2 and Pr 1-yTb y(Fe 0.4Co 0.6) 2 alloys

Measurement of X-ray diffraction, magnetization and magnetostriction was made on the Pr(Fe_1-xCo_x)₂ (x=0.4, 0.5 and 0.6) and Pr_1-yTb_y(Fe_0.4Co_0.6)₂ (y=0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) alloy series. It was found that a cubic phase with the MgCu₂ structure can be obtained in the Pr(Fe_1-xCo_x)₂ series only at x=0.6. The Pr_1-yTb_y(Fe_0.4Co_0.6)₂ system has the cubic MgCu₂ structure over the studied range for y. The lattice constant and magnetization decrease and the Curie temperature increases with increasing y. At 7 K, Pr_1-yTb_y(Fe_0.4Co_0.6)₂ samples are found to have huge intrinsic coercivities, which are associated with narrow domain walls. It is also found from X-ray measurement that in Pr_1-yTb_y(Fe_0.4Co_0.6)₂ the spontaneous magnetostriction ₁₁₁ increases due to Tb substitution, while the saturation magnetostriction _s is much lower than ₁₁₁. This can be attributed to the large value of ₁₀₀ with an opposite sign to ₁₁₁, which may be caused by the filling of the d band due to Co substitution. PACS 75.80.-g; 61.10.-i; 75.60.-d     

Magnetoelectric characterization of xNi0.75Co0.25Fe2O4-(1−x)BiFeO3 nanocomposites

Magnetoelectric (ME) nanocomposites containing Ni_0.75Co_0.25Fe₂O₄-BiFeO₃ phases were prepared by citrate sol-gel process. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed phase formation of xNi_0.75Co_0.25Fe₂O₄-(1−x)BiFeO₃ (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) composites on heating at 700 °C. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the formation of powders of nano order size and the crystal size was found to vary from 30 to 85 nm. Dispersion in dielectric constant (ε) and dielectric loss (tan δ) in the low-frequency range have been observed. It is seen that nanocomposites exhibit strong magnetic properties and a large ME effect. On increasing Ni_0.75Co_0.25Fe₂O₄ contents in the nanocomposites, the saturation magnetization (M_S) and coercivity (H_C) increased after annealing at 700 °C. The large ME output in the nanocomposites exhibits strong dependence on magnetic bias and magnetic field frequency. The large value of ME output can be attributed to small grain size of ferrite phase of nanocomposite being prepared by citrate precursor process.     

Neutron diffraction study of the (1-x)αFe2O3xAl2O3 system

The magnetic structure of the (1-x) α Fe₂O₃xAl₂O₃ system with x= 0–0.1 has been investigated on polycrystalline samples by neutron diffraction method. The Morin transition temperature and the Néel temperature are observed to decrease on increasing x. The angle by which the magnetic moments turn out of the basal plane in the Morin transition also decreases with increasing x. The Morin transition does not occur above x = 0.09.     

Field annealing effect on amorphous (FexCo1-x)85Nb15 alloys

The magnetic anisotropy induced by magnetic field annealing was examined for amorphous (Fe_xCo_1-x)₈₅Nb₁₅ alloys produced by a sputtering technique. An appreciably large uniaxial anisotropy was observed even at x = 0. The anisotropy constant (K_u) obtained was 2.3x10³ erg/cm³ at x=0, and it increased with x, showing a maximum of about 5.4x10³ erg/cm³ near x = 0.2. This compositional change in K_u was explained in terms of the directional ordering of magnetic Fe-Co atom pairs under the negative nonmagnetic interaction energy leading to a precipitation.     

Magnetocaloric effects in (Gd1−xTbx)Co2

The structures and magnetocaloric effects of (Gd_1−xTb_x)Co₂ (x=0, 0.25, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, and 1) pseudobinary compounds were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction and magnetic properties measurement. The results show that the T_c of the alloy is near room temperature when X=0.6. The magnetic entropy changes of the compounds increase from 1.7 to 3.6 J/kg K with increasing the content of Tb under an applied field up to 2 T. All the compounds exhibit second order magnetic change. As a result, the values of their ΔS_M are lower than that of some large magnetocaloric effect materials.

High magnetostriction at low fields of (Tb1−xDyx)0.2Pr0.8(Fe0.4Co0.6)1.88C0.05 intermetallic compounds

The structure and magnetostriction of the (Tb_1−xDy_x)_0.2Pr_0.8(Fe_0.4Co_0.6)_1.88C_0.05 intermetallic compounds (0≤x≤1) were studied by X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The formation of an approximate single Laves phase with a MgCu2-type cubic structure was observed in this series of compounds. It was found that the Curie temperature and the saturation magnetization of the compounds would decrease with increase in the Dy content up to x=1. The magnetostriction λ_a (λ_a=λ_‖-λ_⊥) gently rises when x≤0.6, and follows with a precipitous fall when x exceeds 0.6, with the highest value of λ_a being reached in the compounds with x=0.6. The magnetostriction of all the samples was observed to approach their own saturation in the magnetic fields higher than 4 kOe. This indicates that the addition of a small amount of Dy could effectively improve the low-field magnetostriction of the Tb_0.2Pr_0.8(Fe_0.4Co_0.6)_1.88C_0.05 compounds, which could become a kind of promising magnetostrictive material.     

The tunable magnetic properties and microstructures of Co–Ni double-substituted M-type Casrla hexaferrites

M-type hexaferrites with Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺ions substituting for Fe³⁺ ions (Ca_0.30Sr_0.35La_0.35Fe_12.0−x(Co_0.5Ni_0.5)_xO₁₉, 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) were prepared by the traditional solid state method. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), physical property measurement system-vibrating sample magnetometer (PPMS-VSM) have been employed to study the microstructures and magnetic properties of hexaferrites. XRD patterns showed that the single magnetoplumbite phase is obtained if Co–Ni content (x) ≤ 0.4 and impurity phases are observed in the structure when Co–Ni content (x) ≥ 0.4. FE-SEM micrographs showed that the hexaferrites with hexagonal platelet-like grains is obtained. The saturation magnetization (M_s), remanent magnetization (M_r), M_r/M_s ratio, magneton number (n_B), coercivity (H_c), magnetic anisotropy field (H_a) and first anisotropy constant (K₁) decrease with increasing Co–Ni content (x) from 0.0 to 1.0. And our reported results with tunable H_c and M_r can be used for recording applications.     

Defect chemistry and oxygen transport of (La0.6Sr0.4 − xMx)0.99Co0.2Fe0.8O3 − δ, M = Ca (x = 0.05, 0.1), Ba (x = 0.1, 0.2), Sr: Part I: Defect chemistry

This paper is the first part of a two part series, where the effects of varying the A-site dopant on the defect chemistry, the diffusion coefficient and the surface catalytic properties of the materials (La_0.6Sr_0.4 − xM_x)_0.99Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3 − δ, M = Sr, Ca (x = 0.05, 0.1), Ba (x = 0.1, 0.2) (LSMFC) have been investigated. In part I, the findings on the defect chemistry are reported, while the transport properties are reported in part II. Substitution of Sr²⁺ ions with Ca²⁺ ions (smaller ionic radius) and Ba²⁺ ions (larger ionic radius) strains the crystal structure differently for each composition while keeping the average valence of the cations constant. The Ba²⁺ containing materials show the largest oxygen loss at elevated temperatures, while the purely Sr²⁺ doped material showed the smallest oxygen loss. This was reflected in the partial oxidation entropy of the materials. The measured oxygen loss was modelled with point defect chemistry models. Measurements at very low p_O2 showed several phase transitions.     

Magnetic and charge ordering properties of Bi0.6−xEuxCa0.4MnO3 (0.0≤x≤0.6)

We have studied structure, magnetic and transport properties of polycrystalline Bi_0.6−xEu_xCa_0.4MnO₃ (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6) perovskite manganites. Magnetic measurements show that the charge-ordering temperature (T_CO) decreases with increasing x up to x=0.4 and then slightly increases with further increasing x up to x=0.6. Further, the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering temperature (T_N) decreases with increasing x. At T<T_N a transition to metamagnetic glass like state is also seen. Eu doping also leads to enhancement in the magnetic moment and a concomitant decrease in resistivity up to x=0.2 and then an increase in resistivity up to x=0.5. We propose that the local lattice distortion induced by the size mismatch between the A-site cations and 6s² character of Bi³⁺ lone pair electron are responsible for the observed variation in physical properties.     

The magnetic properties of diluted CoFe2O4 nanomaterials

The magnetic properties of （Cox Fe1-x）A （Zn1-x Fe1＋x）B O4 are studied using mean-field theory and the probability distribution law to obtain the saturation magnetization, the coercive field, the critical temperature, and the exchange interactions with different values of D （nm） and x. High-temperature series expansions （HTSEs） combined with the Pade approximant are used to calculate the critical temperature of （CoxFe1-x）A（Znl-xFe1＋x）BO4, and the critical exponent associated with magnetic susceptibility is obtained.     

Magnetoresistive properties of Zn1−xCoxFe2O4 ferrites

The magnetic and magnetoresistive properties of spinel-type Zn_1−xCo_xFe₂O₄ (x=0, 0.2 and 0.4) ferrites are extensively investigated in this study. A large negative magnetoresistance (MR) effect is observed in Zn_1−xCo_xFe₂O₄ ferrites of spinel structure. These materials are either ferrimagnetic or paramagnetic at room temperature, and show a spin-(cluster) glass transition at low temperatures, depending on the chemical compositions. The MR curves as a function of magnetic fields, MR(H), are parabolic at all temperatures for paramagnetic polycrystalline ZnFe₂O₄. The MR for ZnFe₂O₄ at 110 K in the presence of 9 T applied magnetic field is 30%. On the other hand, MR(H) are linear for x=0.2 and 0.4 ferrimagnetic Zn_1−xCo_xFe₂O₄ samples up to 9 T. The MR effect is independent of the sintering temperatures, and can be explained with the help of the spin-dependent scattering and the Yafet–Kittel angle of Zn_1−xCo_xFe₂O₄ mixed ferrites.
