钙钛矿型锰氧化物(La_(0.8)Eu_(0.2))_(4/3)Sr_(5/3)Mn_2O_7的磁性和电性研究

采用传统固相反应法制备钙钛矿型锰氧化物(La0.8Eu0.2)4/3Sr5/3Mn2O7多晶样品,X-射线衍射分析表明,样品(La0.8Eu0.2)4/3Sr5/3Mn2O7结构呈现良好的单相.通过磁化强度随温度的变化曲线(M-T)、不同温度下磁化强度随磁场的变化曲线(M-H)和电子自旋共振谱发现:在300 K以下,随着温度的降低,样品先后经历了二维短程铁磁有序转变(T2D C≈282K)、三维长程铁磁有序转变(T3D C≈259K)、奈尔转变(T N≈208K)和电荷有序转变(T CO≈35K);样品(La0.8Eu0.2)4/3Sr5/3Mn2O7在T N以下,主要处于反铁磁态;在T3D C达到370 K时,样品处于铁磁-顺磁共存态,在370 K以上时样品进入顺磁态.此外,分析电阻率随温度的变化曲线(ρ-T)得到:样品在金属-绝缘转变温度(T P≈80K)附近出现最大磁电阻值,其位置远离T3D C,表现出非本征磁电阻现象,其磁电阻值约为61%.在T CO以下,电阻率出现明显增长,这是由于温度下降使原本在高温部分巡游的e g电子开始自发局域化增强所致.通过对(La0.8Eu0.2)4/3Sr5/3Mn2O7的ρ-T曲线拟合,发现样品在高温部分的导电方式基本遵循小极化子的导电方式.

铁磁多层膜中的力致磁电阻效应

通过研究外应力场下铁磁多层膜系统中的自旋结构,讨论了系统磁电阻对外应力的依赖关系.结果表明,外应力能够诱发磁电阻效应,且其磁电阻紧密依赖于外应力的大小和方向.一般地对铁磁性层间耦合,其磁电阻与外应力之间的关系紧密地依赖于两铁磁层的磁致伸缩系数以及磁晶各向异性之差异.具体地,大小一定的外应力由磁易轴向磁难轴旋转的过程中,磁电阻先缓慢增大后急剧减小,在磁难轴附近变化较敏锐,并出现峰值.外应力方向一定时,磁电阻随应力的增大先敏锐增强后缓慢减小,且应力方向偏离磁易轴越远,变化趋势越显著.特别地,当外应力完全垂直于磁易轴时,应力大小的变化会引起磁电阻翻倍.而外应力场介于8πM/5≤H_λ≤18πM/5时,磁电阻会随应力的旋转单调上升,并在磁难轴附近急剧增强,产生GMR效应;对反铁磁性层间耦合,其GMR效应对应力大小和方向的响应近似地相反于铁磁性层间耦合情形. 关键词： 铁磁/非磁/铁磁三层膜 自旋结构 磁电阻 应力场     

不同过渡层上Co/Cu/Co三明治结构的巨磁电阻效应研究

通过对不同过渡层上Co(5.5nm)/Cu(3.5nm)/Co(5.5nm)三明治结构的研究,发现过渡层的磁性及过渡层诱导的三明治晶格结构对材料的巨磁电阻效应有重要影响.反铁磁Cr过渡层由于和相邻铁磁Co层之间存在着反铁磁耦合,可以获得6％以上的巨磁电阻值,但它同时使材料的矫顽力较大,因此磁灵敏度不高.Ni和Ti过渡层上Co/Cu/Co三明治结构,由于形成了强的（111）织构,其巨磁电阻值也达到5％以上.磁性材料Ni过度层还使三明治结构材料的矫顽力大为下降,从而显著提高了材料的磁灵敏度. 关键词：

Magnetic properties and magnetoresistance of HfFe2Ge2-type Dy1-xGdxMn6Ge6 (x=0.1－0.6) compounds

The magnetic properties and magnetoresistance effects of Dy_{1-x}Gd_xMn_6Ge_6 (x=0.1－0.6) compounds have been studied by magnetic properties and resistivity measurements in applied magnetic fields up to 5T. The compounds with x=0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.5 order antiferromagnetically at 425, 428, 430 and 432K, respectively, and there are second magnetic phase transitions below 100K. The compound with x=0.6 exhibits a transition from ferrimagnetic to antiferromagnetic, then to ferrimagnetic state again with decreasing temperature. Furthermore, it displays a field-induced metamagnetic transition, and its threshold field decreases with increasing temperature. The magnetoresistance curve of the compound with x=0.6 in applied magnetic fields up to 5T is presented and the magnetoresistance effects are related to the metamagnetic transitions.     

Magnetism and magnetoresistance of Er1-xSmxMn6Ge6(x=0.2－1.0) compounds

Magnetic and transport properties of Er_{1-x}Sm_xMn_6Ge_6(x=0.2-1.0) have been investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetization measurement. Analysis of the XRD patterns indicates that the samples with x≤0.4 mainly consist of HfFe_6Ge_6-type phase and the samples with 0.6≤x≤1.0 mainly consist of YCo_6Ge_6-type phase (P6/mmm). The lattice constants and the unit cell volume increase with increasing Sm content. The antiferro－ferri－ferromagnetic transitions can be observed with increasing Sm content. The samples with x=0.2 and 0.4 order antiferromagnetically at 420 and 425K, respectively. The samples with x=0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 order from ferri- to ferromagnetically over the whole magnetic ordering temperature range. The corresponding Curie temperatures are 435, 441 and 446K, respectively. The magnetoresistance (MR) isotherms of the sample with x=0.8, measured at various temperatures, are analysed. The magnitude of MR is found to be positive below 55K and gradually increases to a relatively large value of about 5.02% at 5K in a field of 5T as the temperature is lowered. A possible explanation for the positive MR is given.     

On the origin of giant magnetocaloric effect and thermal hysteresis in multifunctional α-FeRh thin films

We report temperature and field dependent lattice structure, magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect in epitaxial Fe₅₀Rh₅₀ thin films with (001) texture. Temperature-dependent XRD measurements reveal an irreversible first-order phase transition with 0.66% lattice change upon heating/cooling. First-principle calculation shows a state change of Rh from non-magnetic (0 μ_B) for antiferromagnetic phase to magnetic (0.93 μ_B) state for ferromagnetic phase. A jump of magnetization at temperature of 305 K and field more than 5 T indicates a field-assisted magnetic state change of Ru that contributes to the jump. Giant positive magnetic entropy change was confirmed by isothermal magnetization measurements and an in-situ temperature rise of 15 K. The magnetic state change of Rh between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic states is the main origin of giant magnetic entropy change and large thermal hysteresis observed.     

Giant magnetoresistance in Y0.9La0.1Mn6Sn6 compound

Magnetic transitions and magnetoresistance effect of the HfFe_6Ge_6-type Y_{0.9}La_{0.1}Mn_6Sn_6 compound have been investigated in the temperature range of 5－380K. The sample displays antiferromagnetic behaviour in the whole temperature range below Néel temperature T_N=309K. The metamagnetic transition from antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism can be induced by an applied field. The metamagnetic transition field decreases monotonically from 2T at 5K to 0.4T at 300K. The giant magnetoresistance effect is observed with the metamagnetic behaviour, such as -10.4% at 245K under a field of 5T.     

Metamagnetic transition in Na 0.85 CoO2 single crystals

We report the magnetization, specific heat, and transport measurements of a high quality Na(0.85)CoO2 single crystal in applied magnetic fields up to 14 T. At high temperatures, the system is in a paramagnetic phase. It undergoes a magnetic phase transition below approximately 20 K. For the field H||c, the measurement data of magnetization, specific heat, and magnetoresistance reveal a metamagnetic transition from an antiferromagnetic state to a quasiferromagnetic state at about 8 T at low temperatures. However, no transition is observed in the magnetization measurements up to 14 T for H perpendicular c. The low temperature magnetic phase diagram of Na(0.85)CoO2 is determined.     

The magnetotransport properties of the intermetallic compound GdCu6

We have studied the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the electrical resistivity of GdCu(6) and have co-related the results with the temperature dependence of heat capacity and magnetization. The magnetoresistance of GdCu(6) is found to be positive both in the paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic regimes. Within the antiferromagnetic regime, the magnetoresistance is very high and increases to still higher values both with increasing field and decreasing temperature. In the paramagnetic regime the magnetoresistance continues to exhibit a finite positive value up to temperatures much higher than that corresponding to the antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase transition. We have shown through quantitative analysis that both the temperature dependences of resistivity and heat capacity indicate the presence of spin fluctuations within the paramagnetic regime of GdCu(6). The field dependence of electrical resistivity indicates that the positive magnetoresistance in the paramagnetic phase is not related to the orbital motion of the conduction electrons in a magnetic field (the Kohler rule). In contrast, our analysis indicates that these spin fluctuations are responsible for the positive magnetoresistance observed within this paramagnetic regime. The nature of the field dependence of electrical resistivity is found to be qualitatively similar both in the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic regimes, which probably indicates that spin fluctuations in the paramagnetic regime are of the antiferromagnetic type.     

The giant volume magnetostriction and colossal magnetoresistance in Eu<Subscript>0.55</Subscript>Sr<Subscript>0.45</Subscript>MnO<Subscript>3</Subscript> manganite

A doped manganite with the composition Eu_0.55Sr_0.45MnO₃ exhibits giant negative magnetostriction and colossal negative magnetoresistance at temperatures in the vicinity of the magnetic phase transformation (T～41 K). In the temperature interval 4.2 K≤T ≤40 K, the isotherms of magnetization, volume magnetostriction, and resistivity exhibit jumps at the critical field strength H_c1, which decreases with increasing temperature. At 70 K ≤T ≤120 K, the jumps on the isotherms are retained, but the shapes of these curves change and the H_c1 value increases with the temperature. At H<H_c1, the magnetoresistance is positive and exhibits a maximum at 41 K; at H>H_c1, the magnetoresistance becomes negative, passes through a minimum near 41 K and then reaches a colossal value. The observed behavior is explained by the existence of three phases in Eu_0.55Sr_0.45MnO₃, including a ferromagnetic (in which the charge carriers concentrate due to a gain in the s-d exchange energy) and two antiferromagnetic phases (of the A and CE types). The volumes of these phases at low temperatures are evaluated. It is shown that the colossal magnetoresistance and the giant volume magnetostriction are related to the ferromagnetic phase formed as a result of the magnetic-field-induced transition of the CE-type antiferromagnetic phase to the ferromagnetic state.     

Magnetic behavior of Eu(3)Ni(4)Ga(4): antiferromagnetic order and large magnetoresistance

The results of the magnetic susceptibility, isothermal magnetization, heat capacity, electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance measurements on polycrystalline Eu(3)Ni(4)Ga(4) are presented. Eu(3)Ni(4)Ga(4) forms in Na(3)Pt(4)Ge(4)-type cubic crystal structure (space group [Formula: see text]). The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Eu(3)Ni(4)Ga(4) confirms the divalent state (Eu(2+)) of Eu ions with an effective magnetic moment μ(eff)?=?7.98?μ(B). At low fields, e.g.?at 0.01?T, a magnetic phase transition to an antiferromagnetically ordered state occurs at T(N)?=?10.9?K, which is further confirmed by the temperature dependence of the heat capacity and electrical resistivity. The field dependence of isothermal magnetization at 2?K reveals the presence of two field induced metamagnetic transitions at H(c1) and H(c2)?=?0.55 and 1.2?T, respectively and a polarized phase above H(PO)?=?1.7?T. The reduced jump in the heat capacity at the transition temperature, ΔC|(T(N))?=?13.48?J/mol-Eu?K would indicate an amplitude modulated (AM) antiferromagnetic structure. An interesting feature is that a large negative magnetoresistance, MR?=?[ρ(H)?-?ρ(0)]/ρ(0), is observed in the vicinity of magnetic transition even up to 2T(N). Similar large magnetoresistance has been observed in the paramagnetic state in some Gd and Eu based alloys and has been attributed to the magneto-polaronic effect.     

Field induced sign reversal of magnetocaloric effect in Gd2In

We report the magnetocaloric effect in the metamagnetic compound Gd₂In obtained from magnetization measurement. Gd₂In was previously reported to have two magnetic transitions: (i) a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition below 190 K and (ii) a ferromagnetic to an antiferromagnetic state below 105 K. The low temperature antiferromagnetic state is unstable under an applied magnetic field and undergoes metamagnetic transition to a ferromagnetic like state. We observe conventional positive magnetocaloric effect (the magnetic entropy change, ΔS_M<0) around 190 K at all applied fields. The magnetocaloric effect is found to be inverse (negative) at low fields around 105 K (ΔS_M>0), however it turns positive at higher fields (ΔS_M<0). The observed anomaly is found to be related to the field induced transition which drives the system from an antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic state.     

Large magnetoresistance in metamagnetic CoMnSi0.88Ge0.12 alloy

The magneto-transport properties are investigated in metamagnetic CoMnSi0.88Ge0.12 alloy.By applying a magnetic field or increasing temperature,a metamagnetic phase transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic is observed in this alloy.Around the metamagnetic phase transition,CoMnSi0.88Ge0.12 alloy exhibits a large and negative magnetoresistance effect(～32%) under a magnetic field of 20 kOe(1 Oe = 79.5775 A/m),which is ascribed to the spin-dependent scattering of conduction electrons.
