钙钛矿锰氧化物Lao.8-x Eux Sro.2MnO3(x=0,0.05)的磁性和磁熵变研究

本篇文章主要研究钙钛矿氧化物La_(0.8-x)Eu_xSr_(0.2)MnO_3(x=0,0.05)中A位掺杂铕(Eu)后对样品的磁性和磁熵变的影响.采用传统的固相反应法制备多晶样品,根据数据拟合得到XRD图像和晶格参数,通过对两样品的M-T曲线和M-H曲线研究发现:x=0和x=0.05两样品在高温区均表现出顺磁性,居里温度T_c分别为283 K(x=0)和284 K(x=0.05),且在居里温度附近表现出铁磁性.随着掺杂量增加,样品的居里外斯温度降低(θ_(x=0)=322 K、θ_(x=0.05)=304 K),表明Eu~(3+)掺杂改变了系统内的铁磁耦合.在7 T磁场下磁熵变的最大值分别为2.73 J/kg·K和4.19 J/kg·K,表明Eu~(3+)掺杂使得最大磁熵变值增大.对比制冷效率,发现该系列样品具有作为磁制冷材料的潜质.     

Synthesis and characterization of La4Ni3−xCoxO10±δ (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 3.0, Δx = 0.2) for solid oxide fuel cell cathodes

The cobalt-doped lanthanum–nickel oxide system, La₄Ni_(3−x)Co_xO_10±δ (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 3.0, Δx = 0.2), was investigated as possible cathode materials for intermediate-temperature solid-oxide fuel cells. X-ray diffraction shows the presence of two structural phases in the series belonging to Bmab for 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2, 0.8 ≤ x ≤ 2.0 and 2.6 ≤ x ≤ 3.0 and Fmmm for 0.4 ≤ x ≤ 0.6 and 2.2 ≤ x ≤ 2.4. All compositions are oxygen-deficient (δ < 0). Electrical conductivity measurements show a systematic decrease in the conductivity as cobalt content increases from x = 0.0 to 2.0, and reverses for x > 2.0. AC impedance measurements of the x = 0.4 composition in symmetrical cells with LSGM as an electrolyte show improved electrode performance over the parent nickelate La₄Ni₃O_9.78. Long-term thermal stability studies show the x = 0.4 composition to be more stable than the x = 3.0 phase after annealing at 1173 K in air for 1 week making this material a viable candidate for cathodes in solid oxide fuel cells.     

Synthesis,characterization and magnetic properties of lightly doped La2−xSrxCuO4 (x = 0.04) nanoparticles

Lightly doped La_2−xSr_xCuO₄ (x = 0.04) nanoparticles with different particle sizes have been successfully prepared by a sol–gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared transmission (IR) spectra and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. All samples are single phase and have an orthorhombic unit cell. As the particle size reduces, it is found that the IR band at around 685 cm⁻¹ corresponding to the in-plane Cu–O asymmetrical stretching mode shifts to higher frequency and the magnetization exhibits a large enhancement at low temperature. The magnetic susceptibility of all samples follows a modulated Curie law between ∼20 K and ∼100 K and the Curie constant displays a strong dependence on the particle size. It is suggested that as the particle size decreases surface effects should play an important role in the magnetic properties of the nanoparticles.

Mn的价态对La0.8Ba0.2MnO3电磁性能的影响

在2-390K温度之间研究了La0.8Ba0.2MnO3的磁矩、磁电阻与温度的关系.发现以不同价态的Mn元素引入得到的La0.8Ba0.2MnO3,性能虽然都存在金属-绝缘体转变,以及在磁场作用下居里温度附近电阻率变化非常显著的特点,但是价态对磁性转变温度TC,金属-绝缘体转变温度Tmi,以及磁电阻极大值温度TMR的影响都非常显著.三种价态相比较,使用二价Mn的电阻率最低以及磁性转变温度更接近室温.认为影响材料性能的主要因素是材料制备时引进的Mn元素的价态,由于原料价态的不同而形成的氧空位浓度变化,进而影响了Mn4+/Mn3+的比.     

Temperature evolution of the cluster state in La0.8Ca0.2MnO3 and La0.8Ca0.2CoO3

The results of investigations of the transport and magnetic properties (ac linear and nonlinear (second- and third-order) susceptibilities) of La_0.8Ca_0.2MnO₃ and La_0.8Ca_0.2CoO₃ single crystals have been presented. It has been found that both compounds in the paramagnetic phase contain ferromagnetic clusters with close magnetic characteristics. At high temperatures, ferromagnetic clusters nucleate in preferred sites associated with chemical inhomogeneities. Cooling below a specific temperature is accompanied by homogeneous nucleation of clusters. These two stages are observed in both compounds. In the doped cobaltite, the coalescence of clusters begins to develop at the third stage, whereas in the manganite, their behavior changes due to the development of ferromagnetic ordering of the matrix. These features indicate that the cluster state in doped manganites and cobaltites has a common nature. The difference in the behavior of ferromagnetic clusters is a consequence of the magnetically active character of the matrix in the case of manganites and the neutral character of the matrix in the case of cobaltites.

Improved electrical and magnetic transport properties of La0.8Ba0.2MnO3 thin films by oxygen annealing

正Dear Editors,The properties of mixed-valence manganites are sensitive to the synthesis conditions[1].For oxide films grown by pulsed laser deposition(PLD),the physical properties are affected obviously by the growth oxygen pressure and annealing treatment[2-5].Using the PLD method,manganite oxides are usually grown at different oxygen pressures to investigate the     

Structural,XPS and impedance analysis of LixCoVO4 (x = 0.8, 1.0, 1.2)

Lithium cobalt vanadate Li_xCoVO₄ (x = 0.8; 1.0; 1.2) has been prepared by a solid state reaction method. The XRD analysis confirms the formation of the sample. A new peak has been observed for Li_1.0CoVO₄ and for Li_1.2CoVO₄ indicating the formation of a new phase. The XPS analysis indicates the reduction in the oxidation of vanadium and oxygen with the addition of Li in Li_xCoVO₄ (x = 0.8, 1.0, 1.2). The impedance analysis gives the conductivity value as 2.46 × 10^− 5, 6.16 × 10^− 5, 9 × 10^− 5 Ω^− 1 cm^− 1 for Li_xCoVO₄ (x = 0.8; 1.0; 1.2), all at 623 K. The similarity in the bulk activation energy (E_a) and the activation enthalpy for migration of ions (E_ω) indicate that the conduction in Li_1.2CoVO₄ has been due to hopping mechanism.     

Effect of annealing treatment on the magnetic properties of mechanochemical synthesized La0.8Pb0.2MnO3 manganites

In this paper, we have investigated the effect of annealing on structural and magnetic properties of La_0.8Pb_0.2MnO₃ (LPMO) polycrystalline samples. Mechanochemical procedure has been used to produce LPMO nanocrystalline samples from oxide precursors. From the AC susceptibility measurements we found that the magnitude of susceptibility increases and the paramagnetic–ferromagnetic (PM–FM) transition width decreases by annealing the ball milled powders. Also, reentrant spin glass (RSG) behavior has been found in high temperature annealed samples. It seems that, due to the evaporation of PbO in high temperature annealed samples, vacancies created in perovskite structure and portion of the Mn³⁺–O–Mn⁴⁺ network is broken. So the FM double-exchange interaction is weakened due to the magnetic dilution and the antiferromagnetc (AFM) phase fraction increases in high temperature annealed samples. The competition between FM double-exchange interaction and AFM super-exchange interaction produces spin frustration and is responsible for the occurrence of RSG.     

An anomalous thermal expansion in the perovskite system,Gd1−xSrxMnO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3)

The thermal expansion behavior of sintered samples of Gd_1−xSr_xMnO₃ (X = 0.0–0.4) was studied. The sintered bodies in this system showed negative thermal expansion over a wide temperature range. The detailed crystal structure refinements with respect to temperature showed that the volume of the orthorhombic perovskite lattice monotonically increased with temperature, however, in addition to this, the release of distortion from the Jahn-Teller effect of Mn³⁺ ion occurred over a wide temperature range, which brought the negative expansion of the a-axis, although the b- and c-axes increased with temperature. The anomalous thermal expansion is explained by the sum of the effects of the shrinkage of the a-axis and absorption of the b- and c-axes' expansion by the pores in the sintered body.     

Synthesis,structure, and electrochemical properties of epitaxial perovskite La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 film on YSZ substrate

Epitaxial films of the perovskite, La_0.8Sr_0.2CoO₃ (LSC), for SOFCs cathode were deposited on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) single crystals by pulsed laser deposition method. The films were characterized by thin-film X-ray diffraction measurement, atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and ac impedance spectroscopy. The film orientations depend on the substrate planes. The LSC films on the YSZ (100) and (111) substrates showed the (110) orientation with different twin structures, while those on the YSZ (110) had (100) and (112) orientations. Surface morphology of the films also depends on the substrate orientations. These films showed different electrode properties depending on the orientations. The relationships between the properties, the film orientations, surface morphology, and lattice misfit are discussed.     

Electrical transport properties and laser-induced voltage effect in La0.8Ca0.2MnO3 epitaxial thin films

La_0.8Ca_0.2MnO₃ (LCMO) thin films about 200 nm thickness were grown on untilted and tilted (5°, 10° and 15°) LaAlO₃ (100) single crystal substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique. Electrical properties of the epitaxial thin films were studied by conventional four-probe technique and the anisotropic thermoelectric properties of the films grown on the tilted substrates have been investigated by laser-induced voltage (LIV) measurements. X-ray diffraction analysis and atomic force microscopy results show that the prepared LCMO thin films have a single phase and high crystalline quality. The remarkably large temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) values (above 11 %/K) are observed in the all films. TCR value reaches 18 %/K on the film grown on 10° tilted substrate. The intensity of LIV signals monotonously increases with the tilting angles, and the largest signal is 148 mV with the fast time response 229 ns for the film grown on 15° tilted substrate.     

Crystal growth and structural properties of the spinel-type Li1 + xMn2 − xO4 (x = 0.10, 0.14)

Single crystals of the lithium-rich lithium manganese oxide spinels Li_1 + xMn_2 − xO₄ with x = 0.10 and 0.14 have been successfully synthesized in high-temperature molten chlorides at 1023 K. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction study confirmed the cubic Fd3¯m space group and the lattice parameters of a = 8.2401(9) Å for x = 0.10 and a = 8.2273(10) Å for x = 0.14 at 300 K, respectively. The crystal structures have been refined to the conventional values R = 3.7% for x = 0.10 and R = 3.1% for x = 0.14, respectively. Low-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments revealed that these single crystal samples showed no phase transition between 100 and 300 K. The electron-density distribution images in these compounds by the single-crystal MEM analysis clearly showed strong covalent bonding features between the Mn and O atoms due to the Mn–3d and O–2p interaction.     

Magnetic resonance, phase transition, and phase coexistence in a highly doped La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 manganite near the Curie point

Magnetic resonance and microwave impedance are studied in a highly doped La_0.8Sr_0.2MnO₃ manganite near the Curie temperature. A splitting of the resonance line is observed in the temperature region 6° below the temperature corresponding to the maximum impedance at zero magnetic field. The microwave impedance exhibits a hysteretic behavior in increasing and decreasing temperature runs with jumps at the ends of a 2°-wide temperature interval. The splitting of magnetic resonance occurs immediately above the temperature corresponding to the impedance jump in zero magnetic field. The jumps and the hysteretic behavior of the impedance are interpreted as a manifestation of the magnetic structure phase transition of the first order.     

Ambipolar gate effect and low temperature magnetoresistance of ultrathin La0.8Ca0.2MnO3 films

Ultrathin La(0.8)Ca(0.2)MnO(3) films have been measured in a field-effect geometry. The gate electric field produces a significant ambipolar decrease in resistance at low temperatures. This is attributed to the development of a pseudogap in the density of states and the coupling of localized charge to strain. Within a mixed phase scenario, the gate effect and magnetoresistance are interpreted in the framework of a "general susceptibility," which describes how phase boundaries move through a hierarchical pinning landscape.     

Effects of pressure and magnetic field on the electrical resistivity of La0.8Ba0.2MnO3 in rhombohedral and orthorhombic phases

A structural transition from the orthorhombic phase to the rhombohedral one is observed and investigated on a La_0.8Ba_0.2MnO₃ single crystal. In the region of the coexistence of two phases, the effects of magnetic field (up to 12 T) and hydrostatic pressure (up to 5 kbar) on the temperature dependences of the electrical resistivity are studied. It is shown that magnetic field and pressure reduce the transition temperature and produce qualitatively similar effects on the electrical resistivity in the region of the structural transition.     

Electrode reaction of Sr1−xLaxCo0.8Fe0.2O3−δ with x = 0.1 and 0.6 on Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 at 600 ≤ T ≤ 800 °C

The electrode reaction of the perovskite phases Sr_1−xLa_xCo_0.8Fe_0.2O_3−δ (x = 0.1 and 0.6) on Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O_1.95 has been investigated by impedance spectroscopy in the temperature range 600 ≤ T ≤ 800 °C. Thick porous electrodes (t ∼ 20 μm) were sprayed on Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O_1.95 and ac impedance spectra were recorded on symmetrical cells at the equilibrium. The analysis of the complex impedance diagrams clearly indicates the presence of two contributions. The low frequency one was assigned to the gas phase oxygen diffusion through the porous electrode and a finite length diffusion (Warburg) impedance was used to describe the high frequency (HF) data. The polarization resistance of the HF impedance contribution (R_w) is higher for x = 0.1 while the activation energy of R_w is higher for x = 0.6. The variations of R_w versus the La content, temperature and thickness indicate that the Warburg-type impedance contains information of both bulk oxygen diffusion and surface processes.
