化合物HoMn6Sn6的磁晶各向异性及自旋重取向相变研究

采用交换相互作用的分子场理论模型对金属间化合物HoMn₆Sn₆的自旋重取向相变进行了研究. 从理论上计算了HoMn₆Sn₆的易磁化方向以及Ho和Mn离子磁矩与c轴夹角随温度的变化. 基于单离子模型计算了Ho离子的一阶和二阶磁晶各向异性常数K_1R和K_2R随温度的变化. 研究表明，为了很好描述该化合物的自旋重取向相变，必须考虑Ho离子的四阶晶场项及相应的二阶磁晶各向异性常数K_2R，K_2R与K_1R和Mn离子磁晶各向异性常数K_1t之间的相互竞争是导致HoMn₆Sn₆自旋重取向相变的重要因素. 关键词： 稀土-过渡族金属间化合物 自旋重取向 磁晶各向异性     

Charge order and spin order in Nd_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Mn_(1-x)(Ga_x, Ti_x)O_3 system

Magnetic properties of Nd_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Mn_(1-x)(Ga_x, Ti_x)O_3 system (0.04≤x≤0.4) were inves- tigated through magnetization and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements. It was observed that a small amount of Ti substitution for Mn will destroy the charge-ordering (CO) phase completely and induce the cluster-spin-glass phase in the system, which displays a procedure of collapse of CO and of an enhancement of spin ordering (SO) phase. In contrast, the Ga substitution for Mn induces a melt- ing of CO phase in the system. It was observed that with substitution the CO phase is suppressed gradually and the remanent CO phase is retained all the while, and withal, there is a co-existence of AFM CO phase and FM SO at low temperature. In addition, an abrupt rise of magnetization was observed in M-T curves. We attributed this abnormal phenomenon to a transition from canted AFM SO to FM SO in CO region.     

Er3(Fe,Co, M)29化合物(M=Cr,V, Ti,Mn, Ga,Nb)的结构与磁性

合成了Er_３Fe_29-x-yCo_xM_y化合物(M=Cr, V, Ti, Mn, Ga, Nb )并用x射线衍射和磁测量等手段研究了它们的结构和磁性. 发现Fe基Er_３(Fe,M)_２９化合物结晶成哑铃对Fe-Fe无序替代的Th₂Ni₁₇型结构(P6₃/mmc空间群)而不能形成Nd₃(Fe,Ti)_２９型结构，因此其化学式也可以用Er_2－n(Fe,M)_17+2n (n=0.2)表示. 当Er_３Fe₂₉化合物中部分Fe原子被M原子所取代时，其居里温度均有一定程度的提高. 所有Er_３(Fe,M)_２９化合物在室温均为易面型各向异性. 当Er_３(Fe,M)_２９ (M=Cr, V)中的部分Fe原子被Co原子取代且Co原子数与Fe原子数达到一定比值时，得到一个单斜结构的新相. 磁测量表明Er_３Fe_19.5Co₆V_3.5在室温可能为单轴各向异性，在162K出现自旋重取向，其各向异性由易轴型变为易面型. 在5K下于难磁化方向磁化时观察到一个一级磁化过程(FOMP). 关键词： 稀土金属间化合物 晶体结构 磁晶各向异性     

La2/3Sr1/3MnO3单晶的低场磁热效应

本文对La2/3Sr1/3MnO3单晶中b和a(c)轴方向的磁热效应进行了研究,由于晶体的磁晶各向异性,磁热效应表现出一定的各向异性.通过不同温度下的等温起始磁化曲线的实验分析表明,在外加场为10kOe的情况下,b和a(c)轴方向的磁熵变-ΔSM(H)在370K达到最大值,分别为1.942Jkg-1K-1和1.873Jkg-1K-1.低场下较大的磁熵变是由于磁化强度随外场迅速变化以及自旋-晶格的耦合造成的.La2/3Sr1/3MnO3单晶在低场下表现出相对较大的磁热效应,表明其在磁制冷方面有一定的潜在应用价值.     

Magnetocrystalline anisotropy and magnetostriction of Fe-Si-Al (Sendust) single crystals

The magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant, K₁ and the magnetostriction constants, λ₁₀₀ and λ₁₁₁ for the Sendust alloys were determined at 300 K in the composition region, 7.5–11.0 wt%Si, 4.0–7.0 wt%Al, bal. Fe. The line of K₁ = 0 in the Fe-Si-Al alloy system was found to lie around 7.0–9.5 wt%Si, 5.5 wt%Al, bal.Fe and 9.5 wt%Si, 5.5–7.0 wt%Al bal.Fe compositions. The line of λ_s = 0 was also determined as a function of Fe, Si and Al contents. Both lines of K₁ = 0 and λ_s = 0 intersect at the composition, 9.6 wt%Si, 5.5 wt%Al, bal.Fe. This alloy composition is close to those for alloys with high initial and maximum permeabilities. The line of K₁ = 0 determined by the present experiment is found to be different from that of Zaimovsky and Selissky. The line of λ_s = 0 is similar to their results.     

Negative dependence of surface magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy on film thickness in Co_(33)Fe_(67) alloy

In this work, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy(MAE) on the surface of Fe_(33)Co_(67) alloy film is extracted from x-ray magnetic linear dichroism(XMLD) experiments. The result indicates that the surface MAE value is negatively correlated with thickness. Through spectrum calculations and analysis, we find that besides the thickness effect, another principal possible cause may be the shape anisotropy resulting from the presence of interface roughness. These two factors lead to different electron structures on the fermi surface with different exchange fields, which produces different spin–orbit interaction anisotropies.     

Dielectric loss of half-doped manganite La_(0.5)Ca_(0.5)MnO_3

The dielectric loss tanδ of half-doped manganite La 0.5 Ca 0.5 MnO 3 is investigated using Green's function technique. The La 0.5 Ca 0.5 MnO 3 is described by the Kondo-lattice model in the double exchange limit, taking into account the Jahn-Teller distortion and the super-exchange interaction between the localized electrons. It is found that the intensity of tanδ decreases with increasing | ε JT |, V, and U. It is also observed that the transition temperature T P rises as | ε JT | and U increase. It is worth noting that T P remains unchanged and the strength of tanδ increases with increasing g. The calculated dielectric loss results are explained theoretically, and these behaviors are in qualitative agreement with the experimental results.     

Spin and orbital magnetic moments and spin anisotropy energies of light rare earth atoms embedded in graphene: A first-principles study

The geometries, electronic structures, spin magnetic moments (SMMs), orbital magnetic moments (OMMs) and spin anisotropy energies (SAEs) of light rare earth atoms (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, and Gd) embedded in graphene were studied by using first-principles calculations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). The spin-orbital coupling effect was taken into account and GGA+U method was adopted to describe the strongly localized and correlated 4f electrons. There is a significant deformation of the graphene plane after doping and optimization. The deformation of Gd doped graphene is the largest, while Eu the smallest. The results show that the valence is +3 for La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm and Gd, and +2 for Eu. Except Eu and Gd, there are obvious OMMs. When the spin is in the Z direction, the OMMs are −0.941 μ_B, −1.663 μ_B, −3.239 μ_B, −3.276 μ_B and −3.337 μ_B for Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm and Sm, respectively, and point the opposite direction of SMMs. All the doped systems except Gd show considerable SAEs. For Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, and Eu, the SAEs are −0.928 meV, 20.941 meV, −8.848 meV, 7.855 meV, 75.070 meV and 0.810 meV, respectively. When the spin orientation is different, different orbital angular moments lead to apparent charge density difference of the 4f atoms, which can also explain the origin of SAEs.

Magnetic transition behavior of perovskite manganites Nd_(0.5)Sr_(0.3)Ca_(0.2)MnO_3 polycrystalline

A polycrystalline sample Nd_(0.5)Sr_(0.3)Ca_(0.2)MnO_3 is prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method. The structure and magnetic properties are investigated with x-ray diffraction(XRD) patterns, a superconducting quantum interference device(SQUID), and electron spin resonance(ESR). The sample is in single phase with the space group Pbnm symmetry. With the decrease of temperature, Nd_(0.5)Sr_(0.3)Ca_(0.2)MnO_3 undergoes three magnetic transitions: ferromagnetic transition at TC≈ 210 K, charge-ordering at TCO≈ 175 K, and antiferromagnetic transition at TN= 155 K. In addition, the activation energy Ea ≈ 52.78 me V can be extracted by curve fitting.     

An electron spin resonance study of Eu doping effect in La_(4/3)Sr_(5/3)Mn_2O_7 single crystal

The effect of Eu3+ion doping in the La sites of single-crystal La4/3Sr5/3Mn2O7was investigated. Electron spin resonance(ESR) was applied to La4/3Sr5/3Mn2O7and(La0.8Eu0.2)4/3Sr5/3Mn2O7single crystals. A phase separation and phase transitions were observed from the ESR spectra data. Between 350 K and 300 K, both paramagnetic resonance(PMR)and anisotropic ferromagnetic resonance(FMR) lines were observed in the ab plane and the c axis direction, suggesting a coexistence of the paramagnetic(PM) phase and the ferromagnetic(FM) phase. The magnetization measurement reveals a spin-glass-like behavior in single-crystal(La0.8Eu0.2)4/3Sr5/3Mn2O7below the temperature of spin freezing Tf(～ 29.5 K).

Study of magnetization reversal and anisotropy of single crystalline ultrathin Fe/MgO(001) film by magneto-optic Kerr effect

The magnetization reversal process of Fe/MgO(001) thin film is investigated by combining transverse and longitudinal hysteresis loops. Owing to the competition between domain wall pinning energy and weak uniaxial magnetic anisotropy,the typical magnetization reversal process of Fe ultrathin film can take place via either an "l-jump" process near the easy axis, or a "2-jump" process near the hard axis, depending on the applied field orientation. Besides, the hysteresis loop presents strong asymmetry resulting from the variation of the detected light intensity due to the quadratic magneto-optic effect. Furthermore, we modify the detectable light intensity formula and simulate the hysteresis loops of the Kerr signal. The results show that they are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Exchange-coupling-induced fourfold magnetic anisotropy in CoFeB/FeRh bilayer grown on SrTiO3(001)

Exchange coupling across the interface between a ferromagnetic (FM) layer and an antiferromagnetic (AFM) or another FM layer may induce a unidirectional magnetic anisotropy and/or a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, which has been extensively studied due to the important application in magnetic materials and devices. In this work, we observed a fourfold magnetic anisotropy in amorphous CoFeB layer when exchange coupling to an adjacent FeRh layer which is epitaxially grown on an SrTiO₃(001) substrate. As the temperature rises from 300 K to 400 K, FeRh film undergoes a phase transition from AFM to FM phase, the induced fourfold magnetic anisotropy in the CoFeB layer switches the orientation from the FeRh$\langle 110\rangle $ to FeRh$\langle 100\rangle $ directions and the strength is obviously reduced. In addition, the effective magnetic damping as well as the two-magnon scattering of the CoFeB/FeRh bilayer also remarkably increase with the occurrence of magnetic phase transition of FeRh. No exchange bias is observed in the bilayer even when FeRh is in the nominal AFM state, which is probably because the residual FM FeRh moments located at the interface can well separate the exchange coupling between the below pinned FeRh moments and the CoFeB moments.     

晶格失配应力对单晶(BiTm)_3(GaFe)_5O_(12)膜磁畴结构的影响

利用液相外延工艺在钆镓石榴石衬底上制得了单晶(BiTm)_3(GaFe)_5O_(12)膜,研究了晶格失配应力对其磁畴结构的影响.研究发现,生长速率越快,膜的晶格常数越大;晶格失配应力可以在一定范围内调整膜的垂直各向异性;随着晶格失配应力由较大张应力逐渐转变为较大压应力,磁畴形状先由磁泡畴转变成迷宫畴,然后转变为过渡态部分弯曲的条状畴,最终转变为整齐排列的条状畴;失配应力同时对畴宽也有影响,膜受到的失配应力越大,畴宽越大.这一实验研究对基于控制晶格失配应力来调控单晶膜的各向异性和磁畴结构有指导意义.     

Physical properties of quaternary compounds Gd2CoAl4T2 (T= Si,Ge) single crystals

We have synthesized and investigated physical properties of two new quaternary compounds Gd₂CoAl₄T₂ (T= Si, Ge) single crystals, which are isostructural to Tb₂NiAl₄Ge₂ and Er₂CoAl₄Ge₂. The most important structural feature of these materials is the anti-CaF₂-type CoAl₄T₂ slabs. These materials show metallic behavior below 300 K and there is a long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition appearing at 20 and 27 K for Gd₂CoAl₄Ge₂ and Gd₂CoAl₄Si₂, respectively. Resistivity and heat capacity measurements also confirm these bulk AFM transitions. Further analysis indicates that this long-range antiferromagnetism should result from the magnetic interaction between local moments of Gd³⁺ ions.
