Electrical transport and structural characterizations of isoelectronically substituted Ba(Fe0.9Ru0.1)2As2 have been performed as a function of pressure up to ~ 30 GPa and temperature down to ~ 10 K using designer diamond anvil cell. Similar to undoped members of the AFe2As2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) family, Ba(Fe0.9Ru0.1)2As2 shows anomalous a-lattice parameter expansion with increasing pressure and a concurrent ThCr2Si2 type isostructural (I4/mmm) phase transition from tetragonal (T) phase to a collapsed tetragonal (cT) phase occurring between 12 and 17 GPa where the a is maximum. Above 17 GPa, the material remains in the cT phase up to 30 GPa at 200 K. The resistance measurements show evidence of pressure-induced zero resistance that may be indicative of high-temperature superconductivity for pressures above 3.9 GPa. The onset of the resistive transition temperature decreases gradually with increasing pressure before completely disappearing for pressures above ~ 10.6 GPa near the T-cT transition. We have determined the crystal structure of the high-Tc phase of Ru-doped BaFe2As2 to remain as tetragonal (I4/mmm) by analyzing the X-ray diffraction pattern obtained at 10 K and 9.7 ± 0.7 GPa, as opposed to inferring the structural transition from electrical resistance measurement, as in a previous report [S.K. Kim, M.S. Torikachvili, E. Colombier, A. Thaler, S.L. Bud’ko, P.C. Canfield, Phys. Rev. B 84, 134525 (2011)]. 相似文献
Magnetic flux structure on the surface of EuFe2(As1-xPx)2 single crystals with nearly optimal phosphorus doping levels x = 0.20 and x = 0.21 is studied by low-temperature magnetic force microscopy and decoration with ferromagnetic nanoparticles. The studies are performed in a broad temperature range. It is shown that the single crystal with x = 0.21 in the temperature range between the critical temperatures TSC= 22 K and TC = (18 ± 0.3) K of the superconducting and ferromagnetic phase transitions, respectively, has the vortex structure of a frozen magnetic flux, typical for type-II superconductors. The magnetic domain structure is observed in the superconducting state below TC. The nature of this structure is discussed. 相似文献
We have studied the electronic and magnetic structures of the ternary iron arsenides AFe2As2 (A = Ba, Ca, or Sr) using the first-principles density functional theory. The ground states of these compounds are in a collinear antiferromagnetic order, resulting from the interplay between the nearest and the next-nearest neighbor superexchange antiferromagnetic interactions bridged by As 4p orbitals. The correction from the spin-orbit interaction to the electronic band structure is given. The pressure can reduce dramatically the magnetic moment and diminish the collinear antiferromagnetic order. Based on the calculations, we propose that the low energy dynamics of these materials can be described effectively by a t-JH-J1-J2-type model [2008, arXiv: 0806.3526v2]. 相似文献
The magnetic structures that form in La1–xRxMn2Si2 (R = Sm, Tb) layered compounds with various concentrations x have been determined by magnetic neutron diffraction and magnetic measurements, and the magnetic phase diagrams have been built. It is shown that the formation of the magnetic structures is dependent not only on exchange interactions, but also on the type of the magnetic anisotropy of a rare-earth atom. It is found that, in La1–xTbxMn2Si2 compounds with 0.2 < x < 0.5, the competition of the Tb–Mn and Mn–Mn interlayer exchange interactions and the existence of a strong uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in the Mn and Tb sublattices leads to the frustrated magnetic state and prevents the formation of the long-range magnetic order in the Tb sublattice. 相似文献
The results of the ab initio FLAPW-GGA computations of the band structure of the recently synthesized layered tetragonal (space group I4/mmm) arsenide (Sr3Sc2O5)Fe2As2 as a possible basis phase of a new group of FeAs superconductors are presented. For (Sr3Sc2O5)Fe2As2, the energy bands, electron state density distributions, Fermi surface topology, low-temperature electron specific heat, molar Pauli paramagnetic susceptibility, and effective atomic charges have been determined. These results are discussed compared to similar data for the layered tetragonal crystals LaFeAsO, SrFeAsF, SrFe2As2, and LiFeAs that are the basis phases of the recently discovered high-temperature (TC ~ 26–56 K) 《1111》, 《122》, and 《111》 FeAs superconductors. 相似文献
The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the Bi1 ? xCaxFe1 ? x/2Nbx/2O3 system were studied. It is shown that, at x ≤ 0.15, the unit-cell symmetry of solid solutions is rhombohedral (space group R3c). Solid solutions with x ≥ 0.3 have an orthorhombic unit cell (space group Pbnm). The rhombohedral compositions are antiferromagnetic, while the orthorhombic compositions exhibit a small spontaneous magnetization due to Dzyaloshinski?-Moriya interaction. In CaFe0.5Nb0.5O3, the Fe3+ and Nb5+ ions are partially ordered and the unit cell is monoclinic (space group P21/n). In the concentration range 0.15 < x < 0.30, a two-phase state (R3c + Pbnm) is revealed. 相似文献
The temperature-dependent field cooling (FC) and zero-field cooling (ZFC) magnetizations, i.e., MFC and MZFC, measured under different magnetic fields from 500 Oe to 20 kOe have been investigated on two exchange–spring CoFe2O4/CoFe2 composites with different relative content of CoFe2. Two samples exhibit different magnetization reversal behaviors. With decreasing temperature, a progressive freezing of the moments in two composites occurs at a field-dependent irreversible temperature Tirr. For the sample with less CoFe2, the curves of ?d(MFC ? MZFC)/dT versus temperature T exhibit a broad peak at an intermediate temperature T2 below Tirr, and the moments are suggested not to fully freeze till the lowest measuring temperature 10 K. However, for the ?d(MFC ? MZFC)/dT curves of the sample with more CoFe2, besides a broad peat at an intermediate temperature T2, a rapid rise around the low temperature T1~15 K is observed, below which the moments are suggested to fully freeze. Increase of magnetic field from 2 kOe leads to the shift of T2 and Tirr towards a lower temperature, and the shift of T2 is attributable to the moment reversal of CoFe2O4.
Graphical abstract CoFe2O4/CoFe2 composites with different relative content of CoFe2 were prepared by reducing CoFe2O4 in H2 for 4 h (S4H) and 8 h (S8H). The temperature-dependent FC and ZFC magnetizations, i.e., MFC and MZFC, under different magnetic fields from 500 Oe to 20 kOe have been investigated. Two samples exhibit different magnetization reversal behaviors. With decreasing temperature, a progressive freezing of the moments in two composites occurs at field-dependent irreversible temperature Tirr. For the S4H sample, the curves of ?d(MFC ? MZFC)/dT versus temperature T exhibit a broad and field-dependent relaxing peak at T2 below Tirr (figure a), and the moments were suggested not to fully freeze till the lowest measuring temperature 10 K. However, for the S8H sample, it exhibits the reentrant spin-glass state around 50 K, as evidenced by a peak in the MFC curve (inset in figure b) and as a result of the cooperative effects of the random anisotropy of CoFe2O4, exchange–spring occurring at the interface of CoFe2O4 and CoFe2 together with the inter-particle dipolar interaction (figure c); in ?d(MFC ? MZFC)/dT curves, besides a broad relaxing peat at T2, a rapid rise around the low-temperature T1~15 K is observed, below which the moments are suggested to fully freeze. Increase of magnetic field from 2 kOe leads to the shift of T2 and Tirr towards a lower temperature, and the shift of T2 is attributable to the moment reversal of CoFe2O4.
Metastable solid solutions (SS) Mn3FeTiSbO9 and Mn4FeTi2SbO12 with the ilmenite structure (space group R\(\bar 3\)) have been prepared by quenching at normal conditions. The compositions of the compounds have been justified using EDX spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The magnetic properties of SSs have been analyzed by comparison with ferrimagnetic ilmenite Mn2FeSbO6 (TN = 269 K) as a natural mineral and ceramics obtained at high pressure and high temperature. The solid solutions have been characterized as dilute magnetic systems formed as a result of substitution of nonmagnetic cations Ti4+ for a part of Fe3+ and Sb5+ cations. Mn3FeTiSbO9 is considered as a ferromagnetic with TN = 171 K and Mn4FeTi2SbO12 as a magnetic with the concentration of magnetic clusters below the percolation threshold. 相似文献
Magnetization M(H,T) in magnetic fields H up to 90 kOe and at temperatures 2 K ≤ T < Tc (where Tc is the superconducting transition temperature), along with magnetic susceptibility χ(T) in the normal state Tc < T < 400 K for optimally oxygen-doped samples of YBa2Cu3O6.92 with varying degrees of defects in the crystal structure, are studied to determine the influence of structural inhomogeneity on the electron systems characteristics of cuprate superconductors. It is shown that the existence of structural inhomogeneity of samples leads to the manifestation of peculiarities appropriate to pseudogap regime in their properties. 相似文献
Epitaxial BaFe1.8Cr0.2As2 thin films with the tetragonal c-axis perpendicular to the thin film surface were grown on (LaAlO3)0.3(Sr2AlTaO6)0.7 (LSAT) single crystalline substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Resistive measurements indicate the existence of two transitions at temperatures of about 80 K and 40 K. The transition at 80 K is attributed to the structural transition from the high temperature tetragonal phase to the low temperature orthorhombic phase accompanied with the magnetic transition from a paramagnetic to an antiferromagnetic state as known for doped bulk systems. Below T ≈ 40 K the magnetization curves measured perpendicularly to the orthorhombic c-axis in fields up to 9 Tesla show two inflexion points indicating metamagnetic transitions. 相似文献
Superconductivity was achieved in Ti-doped iron-arsenide compound Sr4Cr0.8Ti1.2O6Fe2As2 (abbreviated as Cr-FeAs-42622). The X-ray diffraction measurement shows that this material has a layered structure with the space group of P4/nmm, and with the lattice constants a = b = 3.9003 Å and c = 15.8376 Å. Clear diamagnetic signals in ac susceptibility data and zero-resistance in resistivity data were detected at about 6 K, confirming the occurrence of bulk superconductivity. Meanwhile we observed a superconducting transition in the resistive data with the onset transition temperature at 29.2 K, which may be induced by the nonuniform distribution of the Cr/Ti content in the FeAs-42622 phase. 相似文献
The baric (P ≤ 5GPa) and magnetic-field (H ≤ 5 kOe) dependences of the transverse magnetore-sistance Δρxx/ρ0 have been measured for p-InAs (RH = 22.5 cm3/C, ρ = 0.15 Ω cm) and the new ferromag-netic semiconductor p-CdGeAs2 (RH = 5 cm3/C, ρ = 0.62 Ω cm), doped with a magnetic impurity (Mn), near the temperature T = 297 K. The dependences Δρxx/ρ0 (P, H) for p-InAs:Mn and p-CdGeAs2:Mn exhibit a magnetoresistive effect with an increase in pressure, and a pressure-induced magnetoresistance hysteresis is observed in p-CdGeAs2:Mn with a pressure drop. 相似文献
A symmetry analysis of the possible magnetic structures of Er5Ge3 in the ground state is performed using the results of measurements of elastic magnetic neutron scattering at 4.2 K. It is
shown that the minimum discrepancy factor Rm≈9.5% corresponds to a modulated collinear magnetic structure in which the magnetic moments of erbium atoms are oriented along
the a3 axis of the unit cell of the crystal structure and induce an antiferromagnetic longitudinal spin wave (AFLSW). The magnetic
structure is characterized by the wave vector k=2π(0, 0, μ /a3) (where μ≈0.293) and the modulation period λ≈3.413a3. The magnetic ordering temperature TN≈38 K is determined from the temperature dependence of the intensity of magnetic reflections.

The superconducting order parameters in optimally doped Ba0.65K0.35Fe2As2 single crystals have been directly measured using multiple Andreev reflection effect spectroscopy of superconductor–normal metal–superconductor break-junctions. We determine two superconducting gaps, which are nodeless in the kxky-plane of the momentum space, and resolve a substantial in-plane anisotropy of the large gap. The temperature dependences of the gaps indicate a strong coupling within the bands where ΔL develops, a weak coupling in the condensate with the small gap ΔS, and a moderate interband interaction between the two condensates. The own critical temperatures of both condensates have been estimated (under the hypotherical assumption of zero interband interaction). 相似文献
Ultrasonic studies of the temperature behavior of the velocity and damping of sound for the xx and zz longitudinal and yx and zx transverse waves in K3Na(CrO4)2 have been carried out in the temperature interval 185–295 K, which includes the region of the ferroelastic phase transition. The acoustic parameters for both shear and longitudinal waves were found to have anomalies in the region of the phase transition with a Curie temperature of 235.5 K. A theoretical analysis of the softening of the elastic moduli c44 and c66 was performed on the basis of the Landau expansion in terms of the strain tensor components ?4 and (?2-?1)/2 considered as the linearly coupled primary and secondary order parameter, respectively. The absolute values of the elastic moduli c11, c33, c44, c66, c12, and c14 at 295 K were calculated. 相似文献
The Ru-Ru spin-singlet formation in La2 ? xLnxRuO5 (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy) was investigated by measurements of the specific heat and magnetic susceptibility. After subtraction of the lattice contribution from the specific heat (Cp), similar excess entropy values were obtained for all compounds. These entropies can be explained by the formation of antiferromagnetic Ru-spin dimers at low temperatures and provide a lower estimate for the intradimer exchange strength. Pronounced changes in the transition temperatures and a broadening of the corresponding peak in Cp were observed. These changes depend on the rare-earth element and are due to local structural changes and heterogeneities caused by the substitution. The magnetic susceptibilities can be described by the sum of a rare-earth paramagnetic moment and the susceptibility of the unsubstituted La2RuO5. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed for various compounds to investigate the origin of the magnetic transition and the relationship between structural changes and the spin-dimerization temperature. The combination of the present results with previous structural investigations supports the model of a spin-pairing of the Ru moments which occurs as a reason of the structural phase transition in La2 ? xLnxRuO5. 相似文献
The unit cell parameters a, b, and c of [N(CH3)4]2ZnCl4 have been measured by x-ray diffraction in the temperature range 80–293 K. Temperature dependences of the thermal expansion coefficients αa, αb, and αc along the principal crystallographic axes and of the unit cell thermal expansion coefficient αV were determined. It is shown that the a=f(T), b=f(T), and c=f(T) curves exhibit anomalies in the form of jumps at phase transition temperatures T1=161 K and T2=181 K and that the phase transition occurring at T3=276 K manifests itself in the a=f(T) and b=f(T) curves as a break. A slight anisotropy in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the crystal was revealed. The phase transitions occurring at T1=161 K and T2=181 K in [N(CH3)4]2ZnCl4 were established to be first-order. 相似文献
The spins of Ru5+ ions in Sr2YRuO6 form a face-centered cubic lattice with antiferromagnetic nearest neighbor interaction J≈25 meV. The antiferromagnetic structure of the first type experimentally observed below the Néel temperature TN=26 K corresponds to four frustrated spins of 12 nearest neighbors. In the Heisenberg model in the spin-wave approximation, the frustrations already cause instability of the antiferromagnetic state at T=0 K. This state is stabilized by weak anisotropy D or exchange interaction I with the next-nearest neighbors. Low D/J~I/J~10?3 values correspond to the experimental TN and sublattice magnetic moment values. 相似文献
The magnetic superconductorRu0.9Sr2YCu2.1O7.9 (Ru-1212Y) has beeninvestigated using neutron diffraction under variable temperature and magnetic field. Withthe complementary information from magnetization measurements, we propose a magnetic phasediagram T-H for the Ru-1212 system. Uniaxialantiferromagnetic (AFM) order of 1.2μB/Ruatoms with moments parallel to the c-axis is found below the magnetictransition temperature at ~140 K in the absence of magnetic field. In addition,ferromagnetism (FM) in the ab-plane develops below ~120 K, butis suppressed at lower temperature by superconducting correlations. Externally appliedmagnetic fields cause Ru-moments to realign from the c-axis to theab-plane, i.e. along the ?1,1,0? direction, and induce ferromagnetismin the plane with ~1μB at 60 kOe.These observations of the weak ferromagnetism suppressed by superconductivity and thefield-induced metamagnetic transition between AFM and FM demonstrate not only competingorders of superconductivity and magnetism, but also suggest a certain vortex dynamicscontributing to these magnetic transitions. 相似文献
We report a quantitative investigation of the magnetic field-temperature phase diagram by taking into account a simple phenomenological model arising out of the interplay of kinetic arrest and thermodynamic transitions in a magnetic glass Pr0.5Ca0.5Mn0.975Al0.025O3, through magnetization measurements. Such studies are necessary as kinetic arrest plays an important role in the formation of “magnetic glasses”, which has been observed in systems undergoing first order magnetic phase transitions. It has been shown that disorder in a system results in the formation kinetic arrest (HK,TK) band, like supercooling (H*,T*) and superheating (H**,T**) band. Quantitative proofs are given to show that (HK,TK) band is anticorrelated with (H*,T*) and (H**,T**) bands, while the later two are correlated among themselves. Analysis of time dependence of magnetization at different temperatures is carried out to establish the fact that the kinetic arrested state is different from the supercooled state. 相似文献
