Raman scattering study of anomalous spin, charge, and lattice dynamics in the charge-ordered phase of Bi1-xCaxMnO3 (x > 0.5)

We report an inelastic light scattering study of the effects of charge ordering on the spin, charge, and lattice dynamics of Bi1-xCaxMnO3 (x>0.5). We find that charge ordering results in anomalous phonon behavior, such as the appearance of "activated" modes. More significantly, however, the transition to the charge-ordered phase results in the appearance of a quasielastic scattering response with the symmetry of the spin-chirality operator ( T(1g)); this scattering response is thus indicative of magnetic or chiral spin fluctuations in the antiferromagnetic charge-ordered phase.     

Spontaneous photorefractive effect in Sr1−x CaxTiO3 (x=0.014)

The temperature dependence of the principal values of the refractive index in Sr_1−x Ca_xTiO₃ (x=0.014) has been measured in the 17–275 K range under various conditions of sample illumination with 1.96 eV photons. The spontaneous photorefractive contribution δn ^ph to the temperature-induced variation of the refractive index of Sr_1−x Ca_xTiO₃, which appears after illumination of the sample in the ferrophase (transition temperature T _c=32 K) and persists in the paraphase under heating up to 150 K, has been separated. The photoinduced polarization has been estimated. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 39, 711–713 (April 1997)     

Influence of high-energy electron irradiation on the transport properties of La1-xCaxMnO3 films ($$(x \approx 1/3)$$ )

The effect of crystal lattice disorder on the conductivity and colossal magnetoresistance in La_1-xCa_xMnO₃ ( ) films has been examined. The lattice defects are introduced by irradiating the film with high-energy ( MeV) electrons with a maximal fluence of about cm^-2. This comparatively low dose of irradiation produces rather small radiation damage in the films. The number of displacements per atom (dpa) in the irradiated sample is about 10^-5. Nevertheless, this results in an appreciable increase in the film resistivity. The percentage of the resistivity increase in the ferromagnetic metallic state (below the Curie temperature ) was much greater than that observed in the insulating state (above ). At the same time irradiation has much less effect on or on the magnitude of the colossal magnetoresistance. A possible explanation of such behavior is proposed.

Mössbauer studies in reentrant spin glass (Pd x Pt1−x )3Fe

Mössbauer and Magnetization studies in the reentrant spin glass regime of the series (Pd_x Pt_1–x)₃ Fe clarifies some aspects of the multiple magnetic phase transitions. The data presented refute the presence of a long range ferromagnetic order at temperatures between the spin glass and the paramagnetic states. The ferromagnetic-like response can arise from the presence of magnetic clusters.     

55Mn NMR investigation of electronic phase separation in La1-xCaxMnO3 for 0.2 < or = x < or = 0.5

55Mn NMR line shape measurements in La1-xCaxMnO3 for 0.20< or =x< or =0.50 provide experimental evidence about the existence of two distinct regions in the T-x magnetic phase diagram, where the homogeneous ferromagnetic (FM) metallic state is separated into FM metallic and FM insulating regions. These results are in agreement with recent theoretical predictions, which reveal a novel electronic phase separation in two FM states, providing orbital ordering and Jahn-Teller phonons are taken into consideration.     

Magnetic ordering in FexMg1−xCl2, (x=0.55, x=0.45, x=0.30)

Mössbauer measurements on the diluted crystals Fe_xMg_1–xCl₂ show that fluctuating magnetic clusters are present. These can be related to the known spin-glass properties of these compounds. The fluctuating frequencies depend on temperature and the fluctuations can be suppressed by a sufficiently high external magnetic field     

Mössbauer and magnetic studies of nanosize (Fe,Co) x C1 − x alloys

We report on preliminary results from a systematic study of the hyperfine (HF) structure of antiprotonic helium. This precise measurement which was commenced in 2006, has now been completed. Our initial analysis shows no apparent density or power dependence and therefore the results can be averaged. The statistical error of the individual lines is a factor of 60 smaller than that of three body quantum electrodynamic (QED) calculations, while the difference has been resolved to a precision comparable to theory (a factor of 10 better than our first measurement). Agreement between theory and experiment would lead to an increased precision of the measurement for the antiproton magnetic moment and provide a test of CPT invariance.

(La1-xYx)2/3Ca1/3MnO3(x=0.195)系统中的磁电阻行为

本文实验上探讨了 (La1-xYx)2/3Ca1/3MnO3(x=0.195)窄带系统不同磁场下的磁电阻行为.实验表明,最大磁电阻效应随磁场增加而实质性提高,例如,7T磁场下最大磁电阻效应高达1.8×105%.同时,我们在远远低于半导体-金属转变温度下也观察到明显的磁电阻效应.文中就磁电阻的起因进行了讨论,特别是基于最近提出的自旋-极化子模型,对实验数据进行了定量的比较性分析,结果表明,该模型虽能预言实验的主要特征,但理论预言随磁场增加而明显偏离实验.     

Observation of two time scales in the ferromagnetic manganite La1-xCaxMnO3, x approximately 0.3

We report new zero-field muon spin relaxation and neutron spin echo measurements in ferromagnetic (FM) (La,Ca)MnO3 which suggest at least two spatially separated regions possessing very different Mn-ion spin dynamics. One region displays diffusive relaxation, "critical slowing down" near T(C) and an increasing volume fraction below T(C), suggesting overdamped FM spin waves below T(C). The second region possesses more slowly fluctuating spins, a linewidth independent of q, and a decreasing volume fraction below T(C). The estimated length scale for the inhomogeneity is 相似文献   

Nonlocal magnetic field-tuned quantum criticality in cubic CeIn(3-x)Sn(x) (x = 0.25)

We show that antiferromagnetism in lightly (approximately 8%) Sn-doped CeIn3 terminates at a critical field mu0H(c) = 42 +/- 2 T. Electrical transport and thermodynamic measurements reveal the effective mass m* not to diverge, suggesting that cubic CeIn3 is representative of a critical spin-density wave (SDW) scenario, unlike the local quantum critical points reported in anisotropic systems such as CeCu(6-x)Au(x) and YbRh2Si(2-x)Ge(x). The existence of a maximum in m* at a lower field mu0H(x) = 30 +/- 1 T may be interpreted as a field-induced crossover from local moment to SDW behavior as the Néel temperature falls below the Fermi temperature.

Persistence of high-frequency spin fluctuations in overdoped superconducting La2-xSrxCuO4 (x=0.22)

We report a detailed inelastic neutron scattering study of the collective magnetic excitations of overdoped superconducting La(1.78)Sr(0.22)CuO(4) for the energy range 0-160 meV. Our measurements show that overdoping suppresses the strong response present for optimally doped La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4) which is peaked near 50 meV. The remaining response is peaked at incommensurate wave vectors for all energies investigated. We observe a strong high-frequency magnetic response for E approximately >80 meV suggesting that significant antiferromagnetic exchange couplings persist well into the overdoped part of the cuprate phase diagram.     

Irreversible metamagnetic transition and magnetic memory in small-bandwidth manganite Pr(1-x)Ca(x)MnO3 (x = 0.0-0.5)

The present paper reports detailed structural and magnetic characterization of the low-bandwidth manganite Pr(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(3) (with x = 0.0-0.5) (PCMO) polycrystalline samples. With increasing Ca content, reduction of the unit cell volume and improvement in perovskite structure symmetry was observed at room temperature. Magnetic characterization shows the signature of coexisting AFM-FM ordering and spin-glass phase at the low doping range (x = 0.0-0.2) while increased hole doping (x = 0.3-0.5) leads to charge ordering, training effect and an irreversible metamagnetic phenomenon. The large irreversible metamagnetism in the CO phase of PCMO and the corresponding spin memory effect is a direct consequence of hysteretic first-order phase transition arising from the weakening of the CO state under the external magnetic field and trapping of the spins due to a strong pinning potential in the material.     

三元合金Ga0.52In0.48P的喇曼散射谱

采用室温下微区Raman散射方法,观测到了GaInP2的LO双模行为和禁戒的TO模,由于晶格有序导致晶体对称性从Td降低为C3v,从而使禁戒的TO模变为Raman活性。在所有的样品中都观测到了由晶格无序激活的DALA模。在有序样品中,除观测到二级Raman散射峰LO1＋LO2以外,还观测到了由超晶格效应所导致的FLA折叠模和LO模的分裂。对LO模峰谷b/a的分析表明,随着晶格有序度的增加,b/a值减小。这是因为：一方面主要是由于禁戒的TO模变为Raman活性所引起的,另一方面,还可能有LO1模和LO2模分裂的贡献。在实验上,可以用b/a值或FLA的强度来表示样品的有序度。
