Magnetic disorder induced enhanced magneto-resistance in La0.5Sr0.5Co1−xRuxO3

We observe a sharp increase in negative magneto-resistance ratio up to 40% for x=0.1, in La_0.5Sr_0.5Co_1−xRu_xO₃ which is due to the magnetic disorder induced by an anti-ferromagnetic interaction between Co and Ru ions. We also observe a metal to insulator and a ferromagnetic to anti-ferromagnetic transition for 0≤x≤0.3. Ruthenium (IV) ion disrupts an intermediate spin state of cobalt (Co³⁺:t_2g⁵e_g¹), forcing a double exchange mediated ferromagnetic state to an anti-ferromagnetic spin state for x≥0.2.

采用溶胶凝胶法制备了Ti_1-xCr_xO_2±δ体系系列样品.利用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)，X射线光电子能谱(XPS)，粉末X射线衍射分析(XRD)方法研究了Ti_1-xCr_xO_2±δ系列样品的颗粒尺寸、形貌、组分化学态、相关系和固溶区范围；并利用超导量子干涉磁强计对样品的磁性能进行了研究.采用Rietveld结构精修的方法研究了Cr的不同掺杂量对TiO₂晶体结构的影响，研究表明，1000℃烧结的样品的固溶区范围是x=0—0.03，为金红石单相；随着Cr掺杂量的增加，金红石相晶胞参数规律性地减小；当x>0.03，为金红石相和CrO₂相两相共存.综合XRD和磁性测量结果，500℃烧结的样品的固溶区范围是x=0—0.02，为锐钛矿单相；随着Cr掺杂量的增加，锐钛矿相晶胞参数规律性地减小；当x≥0.04，为锐钛矿相和绿铬矿相(Cr₂O₃)两相共存.XPS实验结果表明，500℃和1000℃退火的样品中Cr都是以Cr⁺³和Cr⁺⁶两种化学态存在，1000℃烧结的样品中可能有更多的Cr³⁺转化为Cr⁶⁺.根据M-H和M-T曲线的测试结果发现，本文500℃烧结的Ti_1-xCr_xO_2±δ体系样品当x=0—0.02时，为室温铁磁性.当x≥0.04时，由铁磁相和顺磁相所组成，在低温下有较强的铁磁性；室温下主要是顺磁相，铁磁相只占据很小的体积分数. 关键词： 1-xCr_xO_2±δ体系')" href="#">Ti_1-xCr_xO_2±δ体系 相关系 固溶区 磁性能     

Normal-state Nernst coefficient in YBa2Cu3 − xCoxOvwith different cobalt content

We report experimental data on the temperature and concentration dependences of the Nernst coefficient in the normal state for the YBa₂Cu_{3 − x}Co_xO_yceramic samples with increasing Co content up tox = 0.3. The Nernst coefficient is positive, and its value increases almost linearly withx. The temperature dependences ofQhave been analyzed on the basis of a narrow band model, together with data on other transport coefficients. Using a complex quantitative analysis of four transport coefficients, we were able to estimate the carrier mobility and to elucidate a character of the energy dependence of the relaxation time.     

Preparation and magnetic properties of the conductive Co(1−x)NixFe2O4/polyaniline microsphere composites

Core-shell Co_(1−x)Ni_xFe₂O₄/polyaniline nanoparticles, where the core was Co_(1−x)Ni_xFe₂O₄ and the shell was polyaniline, were prepared by the combination of sol-gel process and in-situ polymerization methods. Nanoparticles were investigated by Fourier transform spectrometer, X-ray diffraction diffractometer, Scanning electron microscope, Differential thermal analysis and Superconductor quantum interference device. The results showed that the saturation magnetization of pure Co_(1−x)Ni_xFe₂O₄ nanoparticles were 57.57 emu/g, but Co_(1−x)Ni_xFe₂O₄/polyaniline composites were 37.36 emu/g. It was attributed to the lower content (15 wt%), smaller size and their uneven distribution of Co_(1−x)Ni_xFe₂O₄ nanoparticles in the final microsphere composites. Both Co_(1−x)Ni_xFe₂O₄ and PANI/Co_(1−x)Ni_xFe₂O₄ showed superparamagnetism.     

Raman scattering and room temperature ferromagnetism in Co-doped SrTiO3 particles

Raman scattering has been used to study the influence of cobalt, an effective dopant to obtain SrTiO₃ magnetic oxide, on the lattice dynamics of SrTiO₃. It is found that Co doping increases the lattice defects and induces a Raman vibration mode of 690 cm⁻¹. On the other hand, the ferromagnetism dependence on the x and annealing temperature was clearly and coherently observed in SrTi_1−xCo_xO₃ (x = 0, 0.01, 0.03 and 0.05) nanoparticles. It is found that the ferromagnetism of SrTi_1−xCo_xO₃ nanoparticles is weakly related to crystal deformation and oxygen vacancies in SrTiO₃. So, F-center model can explain the origin of the ferromagnetism in the prepared Co-doped SrTiO₃ samples. At the same time, the finding of large room-temperature ferromagnetism (1.6 emu/g) in this system would stimulate further interest in the area of more complicated ternary oxides.     

Electronic structure and ferromagnetism of polycrystalline Zn1−xCoxO (0≤x≤0.15)

The electronic structure of polycrystalline ferromagnetic Zn_1−xCo_xO (0.05≤x≤0.15) and the oxidation state of Co in it, have been investigated. The Co-doped polycrystalline samples are synthesized by a combustion method and are ferromagnetic at room temperature. XPS and optical absorption studies show evidence for Co²⁺ ions in the tetrahedral symmetry, indicating substitution of Co²⁺ in the ZnO lattice. However, powder XRD and electron diffraction data show the presence of Co metal in the samples. This give evidence to the fact that some Co²⁺ ion are incorporated in the ZnO lattice which gives changes in the electronic structure whereas ferromagnetism comes from the Co metal impurities present in the samples.     

Structure and magnetostriction of Tb0.2Pr0.8(Fe0.4Co0.6)1.93−xCx intermetallic compounds

The structure and magnetostriction of Tb_0.2Pr_0.8(Fe_0.4Co_0.6)_1.93−xC_x intermetallic compounds were studied by X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. Almost a single cubic Laves phase forms in the alloys for x ≤0.20, and a small amount of C can inhibit the formation of the 1:3 phase. The lattice parameter increases when 0≤x≤0.15, while the T_c and the spontaneous magnetization decreases with increasing x. The lattice parameter decreases slowly when 0.15≤x≤0.30, while the T_c decreases evidently with increasing x. The magnetostriction λ_a (=λ_∥-λ_⊥) is improved at low magnetic fields at room temperature for the compounds with 0.05≤x≤0.10, indicating that these C-containing compounds are promising magnetostrictive materials.     

Ab-initio calculations of Co-based diluted magnetic semiconductors Cd1−xCoxX (X=S, Se, Te)

Ab-initio calculations are performed to investigate the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of spin-polarized diluted magnetic semiconductors composed of II-VI compounds Cd_1−xCo_xX (X=S, Se, Te) at x=0.25. From the calculated results of band structure and density of states, the half-metallic character and stability of ferromagnetic state for Cd_1−xCo_xS, Cd_1−xCo_xSe and Cd_1−xCo_xTe alloys are determined. It is found that the tetrahedral crystal field gives rise to triple degeneracy t_2g and double degeneracy e_g. Furthermore, we predict the values of spin-exchange splitting energies Δ_x(d) and Δ_x(p−d) and exchange constants N₀α and N₀β produced by the Co 3d states. Calculated total magnetic moments and the robustness of half-metallicity of Cd_1−xCo_xX (X=S, Se, Te) with respect to the variation in lattice parameters are also discussed. We also extend our calculations to x=0.50, 0.75 for S compounds in order to observe the change due to increase in Co.

Synthesis and magnetic properties of La-substituted M-type Sr hexaferrites

Single-phase M-type hexagonal ferrites Sr_1−xLa_xFe₁₂O₁₉ (0≤x≤1) were prepared by a ceramic route. The stability limits of the ferrite phases were determined with a combination of various microscopy techniques, electron-probe micro-analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. SrFe₁₂O₁₉ (x=0) is stable up to 1420 °C, whereas LaFe₁₂O₁₉ (x=1) exists between 1360 and 1400 °C only. The lattice parameters of Sr_1−xLa_xFe₁₂O₁₉ exhibit a linear variation with x, i.e. a₀ slightly increases and c₀ decreases with x, leading to a decrease of the unit cell volume with x. The saturation magnetization at T=5 K decreases with increasing La concentration. Room temperature Mössbauer analysis shows that the Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ valence change occurs in the 2a sites for the whole composition range.     

Study of the quasi two-dimensional CoxNi1-xTa2O6 compounds by X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements

We report results on the structural and magnetic properties of the Co_xNi_1−xTa₂O₆ series of compounds by X-ray powder diffraction, magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements. X-ray refinements carried out by the Rietveld method show that these compounds crystallize in a P4₂/mnm tetragonal structure. Magnetic susceptibility curves show a broadened maximum witnessing that these compounds exhibit two-dimensional antiferromagnetic behaviors. All the Co_xNi_1−xTa₂O₆ compounds order below 10 K and present a large ion anisotropy. The magnetic properties have been determined in both the paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic state. In the hypothesis of two dimensional AF ordering, the near neighbor exchange constants (J₁) and the next near neighbor exchange constants for two different paths (J₂ and J'₂) were determined. The composition dependence of the magnetic properties including ordering temperature, exchange constants and anisotropy factors are discussed. The drastic reduction of the ordering temperature for x=0.20 for Co_xNi_1−xTa₂O₆, suggest the hypothesis of a peculiar magnetic behavior for this composition.

Magnetic phase transitions of antiperovskite Mn3−xFexSnC (0.5≤x≤1.3)

The magnetization and electrical resistivity of Mn_3−xFe_xSnC (0.5≤x≤1.3) were measured to investigate the behavior of the complicated magnetic phase transitions and electronic transport properties from 5 to 300 K. The results obtained demonstrate that Fe doping at the Mn sites of Mn₃SnC induces a more complicated magnetic phase transition than that in its parent phase Mn₃SnC from a paramagnetic (PM) state to a ferrimagnetic (FI) state consisting of antiferromagnetic (AFM) and ferromagnetic (FM) components, while, with the change of Fe-doped content and magnetic field, there is a competition between the AFM component and FM component in the FI state. Both the Curie temperature (T_C) and the saturated magnetization M_s increase with increasing x. The FM component region becomes broader with further increasing Fe-doped content x. The external magnetic field easily creates a saturated FM state (and increased T_C) when . Fe doping quenches the negative thermal expansion (NTE) behavior from 200 to 250 K reported in Mn₃SnC.

组合结构化合物Ho2Ni7-xFex(x=0-3.0)的晶体结构、结构转变和磁性

在金属间化合物的结构演变中,原子尺寸因素起着重要的作用.由于密堆积效应,不同原子半径比的元素往往形成不同的结构.而自由电子填充于原子构成的晶体结构的间隙中,它对化合物的结构也有影响.基于组合结构化合物Ho2Ni7-xFex,结合原子尺寸与自由电子对晶体结构的不同影响,文章探讨一种单位体积内自由电子浓度的经验方法来判断Ho2Ni7-xFex化合物中两种异构体间的转变.随着Fe含量的增加,Ho2Ni7-xFex化合物先结晶成Gd2Co7型三方结构,然后结晶成Ce2Ni7型六方结构.利用Rietveld精修技术和磁测量,获得了化合物的晶体结构参数和饱和磁化强度.化合物晶胞常数随Fe含量增加而增加,饱和磁化强度则随之减少(dMs/dx=-2).分析结果表明,单位体积内自由电子浓度更高,化合物形成三方结构,反之则形成六方结构.     

Influence of Co doping content on its valence state in Zn1−xCoxO (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) thin films

Zn_1−xCo_xO (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) thin films grown on Si (1 0 0) substrates were prepared by a sol-gel technique. The effects of Co doped on the structural, optical properties and surface chemical valence states of the Zn_1−xCo_xO (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectrometer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XRD results show that the Zn_1−xCo_xO films retained a hexagonal crystal structure of ZnO with better c-axis preferred orientation compared to the undoped ZnO films. The optical absorption spectra suggest that the optical band-gap of the Zn_1−xCo_xO thin films varied from 3.26 to 2.79 eV with increasing Co content from x = 0 to x = 0.15. XPS studies show the possible oxidation states of Co in Zn_1−xCo_xO (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05), Zn_0.90Co_0.10O and Zn_0.85Co_0.15O are CoO, Co₃O₄ and Co₂O₃, with an increase of Co content, respectively.     

The effect of different temperature annealing on phase relation of LaFe11.5Si1.5 and the magnetocaloric effects of La0.8Ce0.2Fe11.5−xCoxSi1.5 alloys

The phase relation of LaFe_11.5Si_1.5 alloys annealed at different high-temperature from 1223 K (5 h) to 1673 K (0.5 h) has been studied. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show that large amount of 1:13 phase begins to form in the matrix alloy consisting of α-Fe and LaFeSi phases when the annealing temperature is 1423 K. In the temperature range from 1423  to 1523 K, α-Fe and LaFeSi phases rapidly decrease to form 1:13 phase, and LaFeSi phase is rarely observed in the XRD pattern of LaFe_11.5Si_1.5 alloy annealed at 1523 K. With annealing temperature increasing from 1573  to 1673 K, the LaFeSi phase is detected again in the LaFe_11.5Si_1.5 alloy, and there is La₅Si₃ phase when the annealing temperature reaches 1673 K. There almost is no change in the XRD patterns of LaFe_11.5Si_1.5 alloys annealed at 1523 K for 3-5 h. According to this result, the La_0.8Ce_0.2Fe_11.5−xCo_xSi_1.5 (0≤×≤0.7) alloys are annealed at 1523 K (3 h). The analysis of XRD patterns shows that La_0.8Ce_0.2Fe_11.5xCo_xSi_1.5 alloys consist of the NaZn₁₃-type main phase and α-Fe impurity phase. With the increase of Co content from x=0 to 0.7, the Curie temperature T_C increases from 180 to 266 K. Because the increase of Co content can weaken the itinerant electron metamagnetic transition, the order of the magnetic transition at T_C changes from first to second-order between x=0.3 and 0.5. Although the magnetic entropy change decreases from 34.9 to 6.8 J/kg K with increasing Co concentration at a low magnetic field of 0-2 T, the thermal and magnetic hysteresis loss reduces remarkably, which is very important for the magnetic refrigerant near room temperature.
