Influences of La and Ce doping on giant magnetocaloric effect of EuTiO

Giant reversible magnetocaloric effects and magnetic properties in Eu_(0.9)R_(0.1)TiO_3 (R = La, Ce) are investigated. The antiferromagnetic ordering of pure Eu TiO_3 can significantly change to be ferromagnetic as substitution of La(x = 0.1)and Ce(x = 0.1) ions for Eu~(2+) ions. The values of-?S_M and RC are evaluated to be 10.8 J/(kg·K) and 51.8 J/kg for Eu_(0.9)Ce_(0.1)TiO_3 and 11 J/(kg·K) and 39.3 J/kg for Eu_(0.9)La_(0.1)TiO_3 at a magnetic field change of 10 kOe, respectively. The large low-field enhancements of-?S_M and RC can be attributed to magnetic phase transition. The giant reversible MCE and large RC suggest that Eu_(0.9)R_(0.1)TiO_3 (R = La, Ce) compounds could be promising materials in low temperature and low magnetic field refrigerants.     

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.

研究了Tb掺杂对双层锰氧化物La_(4/3)Sr_(5/3)Mn_2O_7磁熵变和电输运性质的影响.样品采用传统固相反应法制备,两样品的名义组分可以表示为(La_(1-x)Tb_x)_(4/3)Sr_(5/3)Mn_2O_7(x=0,0.025),磁场为7 T时的最大磁熵变?S_M分别为-4.60 J/(kg·K)和-4.18 J/(kg·K).比较后发现,Tb元素的掺杂使得最大磁熵变值减小,但同时增大了相对制冷温区.电性测量结果表明,x=0.025的样品在高温区的导电机制可以用小极化子模型解释,与母体三维变程跳跃模型不同;当温度降低至三维长程铁磁有序温度(T_c~(3D))附近时,掺杂样品发生金属绝缘相变;掺杂后样品在T_c~(3D)附近,磁电阻取得极大值(约为56%),表明是本征磁电阻效应.

利用固态反应法制备了Mn3Sn1-xCoxC1.1(x=0.05,0.1,0.2)系列化合物,研究了Co掺杂对其磁性质、相变、熵变的影响.随着Co掺杂量的增加,样品的居里温度由283 K先降到212 K(Mn3Sn0.9Co0.1C1.1)后又升到332 K(Mn3Sn0.2Co0.8C1.1),相变类型由一级相变逐渐转变为二级相变.增大Co的掺杂量,Mn3Sn1-xCoxC1.1化合物的熵变峰值逐渐减小,磁熵变温区由9 K展宽到300 K.当Co掺杂量为0.2时,相对制冷量达到最高,为103 J/kg(磁场强度为1.6 MA/m).由于室温附近良好的磁致冷效应,该类材料在磁制冷领域可能具有重要的应用前景.     

(La1-xYx)2/3Ca1/3MnO3(x=0～0.3)体系的磁特性与平均稀土离子尺寸效应的研究

研究了(La1-xYx)2/3Ca1/3MnO3(0.0≤x≤0.3)体系的磁特性,给出了磁转变温度Tc与La位平均离子尺寸之间的关联.结果表明,随Y掺杂浓度的增加,金属-绝缘转变(M-I)温度TMI向低温区移动,对应的峰值电阻率ρp升高,对x=0.3样品而言,较未替代样品(x=0.0)增幅达8个数量级之多,指出由于Y的掺入而致使La位平均离子半径()减少以及局域晶格结构畸变引起的.磁性测量表明了在x>0.1的高浓度区域,随着x的增加,反铁磁性相互作用逐渐增强,导致x=0.2和x=0.3的样品在35K左右出现了自旋玻璃态.

(La1-xCex)2/3Ca1/3MnO3体系的输运性质和反常磁特性研究

本文报告了对Ce掺杂锰氧化物(La1-xCex)2/3Ca1/3MnO3 (x=0～1.0)系列样品的输运特性和反常磁特性的研究结果.实验表明,Ce掺杂对Tc有明显的抑制作用,整体上电阻率随Ce掺杂含量增加而上升,在外加磁场时表现出极大的磁电阻效应.磁化强度随温度变化的曲线出现了两个转变,高温处对应于Mn离子磁矩的铁磁金属转变,低温处的转变则对应于Ce离子磁矩自旋有序排列的形成.表明Ce掺杂引起样品中铁磁双交换作用和反铁磁超交换作用之间的竞争,Ce离子与Mn离子有很强的相互作用.随Ce掺杂含量的增加,铁磁有序转变温度下降,而反铁磁有序转变温度则向高温处移动,铁磁区域明显减小.     

La_(2/3/)Sr_(1/3)MnO_3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.

本文采用光学浮区法生长了HoFe_(0.95)Mn_(0.05)O_3单晶样品,对其磁性和磁热效应进行了研究.研究表明,微量Mn的掺杂使HoFeO_3的自旋重取向温度由58K升高到102K.磁化强度随温度变化和自旋重取向相变过程中的热滞现象共同说明,自旋重取向由原来HoFeO_3中的Γ_4(G_x,F_z)→Γ_2(G_z,F_x)自旋重取向变为HoFe_(0.95)Mn_(0.05)O_3中的Γ4(G_x,F_z)→Γ_1(C_z,A_x)的自旋重取向.磁熵计算表明,虽然在a轴方向得到了-16.7J/kg·K的磁熵变,HoFe_(0.95)Mn_(0.05)O_3的磁熵变显示出明显的各向异性,但是微量Mn的掺杂并未对HoFeO_3的磁熵造成明显的影响.     

基于伊辛模型的Fe_(0.5)Mn_(0.1)Al_(0.4)合金磁化强度和磁熵变蒙特卡洛模拟

基于伊辛模型的单自旋反转蒙特卡洛算法,考虑了粒子间的最近邻以及次近邻相互作用,研究了无序Fe0.5Mn0.1Al0.4合金的磁化强度和磁熵变.首先,强调了粒子间的次近邻相关作用对体系的磁性和热力学性质的影响,明确了次近邻相互作用系数,证实了低温合金阻挫的存在;其次,研究了在相变温度处(不同磁场下)磁化强度随外加磁场(温度)的变化情况以及磁性粒子对磁化强度的贡献,发现反铁磁性粒子Mn在低温区对Fe0.5Mn0.1Al0.4合金的相变起了主要作用,而高温区体系的相变是由铁磁性粒子Fe贡献的;最后,分析了体系在相变温度处磁熵变数值随外加磁场的变化情况以及磁熵变在不同的外磁场下随温度的变化情况,当外加磁场H=0.14(a.u.)时,Mn粒子在冻结温度处的平均磁化强度为零,体系处于最无序的状态,对应的磁熵变ΔS(0.1,0.14)达到了正向最大值,极值的位置对应于体系的相变温度.

Possible ferrimagnetism and ferroelectricity of half-substituted rare-earth titanate: A first-principles study on Y0.5La0.5TiO3

Titanates with the perovskite structure, including ferroelectrics (e.g., BaTiO₃) and ferromagnetic ones (e.g., YTiO₃), are important functional materials. Recent theoretical studies predicted multiferroic states in strained EuTiO₃ and titanate superlattices, the former of which has already been experimental confirmed. Here, a first-principles calculation is performed to investigate the structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of Y half-substituted LaTiO₃. Our results reveal that the magnetism of Y_0.5La_0.5TiO₃ sensitively depends on its structural details because of the inherent phase competition. The lowest energy state is the ferromagnetic state, resulting in 0.25 μB/Ti. Furthermore, some configurations of Y_0.5La_0.5TiO₃ exhibit hybrid improper polarizations, which can be significantly affected by magnetism, resulting in the multiferroic properties. Because of the quenching disorder of substitution, the real Y_0.5La_0.5TiO₃ material with random A-site ions may exhibit interesting relaxor behaviors.     

Magnetic and magnetocaloric effect in a stuffed honeycomb polycrystalline antiferromagnet GdInO3

The magnetic and magnetocaloric properties were studied in a stuffed honeycomb polycrystalline antiferromagnet GdInO₃. The onset temperature of antiferromagnetic ordering was observed at ～ 2.1 K. Negligible thermal and magnetic hystereses suggest a reversible magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in the GdInO₃ compound. In the magnetic field changes of 0 kOe-50 kOe and 0 kOe-70 kOe, the maximum magnetic entropy change values are 9.65 J/kg· K and 18.37 J/kg· K, respectively, near the liquid helium temperature, with the corresponding relative cooling power values of 115.01 J/kg and 211.31 J/kg. The MCE investigation of the polycrystalline GdInO₃ serves to illuminate more exotic properties in this frustrated stuffed honeycomb magnetic system.

研究了Fe和Cr掺杂对La_0.4Ca_0.6MnO₃ 中电荷有序反铁磁基态的调控作用. 磁性质的测量结果表明, 两种离子掺杂均能有效抑制原型样品中的长程电荷有序相, 但是Fe离子掺杂样品均具有反铁磁的基态, 而Cr掺杂样品中则出现了显著的铁磁性. 结合电输运测量结果显示, Cr掺杂引起的铁磁态同时具有金属性, 表明其中是电子双交换作用占主导. 对比两种掺杂离子的电子结构发现, Cr离子空的e_g电子轨道促进了电子双交换作用, 而Fe掺杂则只是引入了不同的自旋交换作用, 导致自旋无序. 关键词： 磁性氧化物 反铁磁     

Observation of giant magnetocaloric effect under low magnetic fields in EuTi_(1-x)Co_xO_3

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect(MCE) in EuTi_(1-x)Co_xO_3(x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1) compounds have been investigated. When the Ti~(4+) ions were substituted by Co2+ions, the delicate balance was changed between antiferromagnetic(AFM) and ferromagnetic(FM) phases in the EuTiO_3 compound. In EuTi_(1-x)Co_xO_3 system, a giant reversible MCE and large refrigerant capacity(RC) were observed without hysteresis. The values of -?S_M~(max) were evaluated to be around 10 J·kg~(-1)·K~(-1) for EuTi_(0.95)Co_(0.05)O_3 under a magnetic field change of 10 kOe. The giant reversible MCE and large RC suggests that EuTi_(1-x)Co_xO_3 series could be considered as good candidate materials for low-temperature and low-field magnetic refrigerant.

Effect of Co substitution on magnetic properties and magnetic entropy changes in LaFe11.83Si0.94Al0.23 compounds

Effect of Co substitution on magnetic properties and magnetic entropy changes in LaFe_{11.83}Si_{0.94}Al_{0.23} compounds has been investigated by means of magnetization measurements. X-ray diffraction shows the prepared compounds to be single phase with the cubic NaZn_{13}-type structure. Substitution of Co for Fe leads to an increase of Curie temperature of the material. The magnetic entropy changes in LaFe_{11.83}Si_{0.94}Al_{0.23} and LaFe_{11.03}Co_{0.80}Si_{0.94}Al_{0.23} compounds are 21.8J/(kg·K) to 16.9J/(kg·K) under a magnetic field change of 0－5T at Curie temperature, respectively. Giant magnetic entropy changes are attributed to the higher magnetization and the rapid change in magnetization at Curie temperature.
