Structural, magnetic and transport properties of double perovskite compounds (Sr2−3xLa2xBax)FeMoO6

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of a series of ordered double perovskite oxides (Sr_2−3xLa_2xBa_x)FeMoO₆ (0x0.3) have been investigated. X-ray powder diffraction reveals that the crystal structure of the compounds changes from a tetragonal I4/m lattice to a cubic lattice around x=0.2. Though the nominal average size of the A site cation of (Sr_2−3xLa_2xBa_x)FeMoO₆ is designed to be almost independent of x, the refinements of the crystal structure show that the lattice constants increase with x in both the tetragonal and the cubic phase regions due to electron doping. As the x increases, the degree of cationic ordering on the B site is decreased pronouncedly, while the Curie temperature of the compounds is nearly unchanged. The saturation magnetization of the compounds decreases with x and shows a linear dependence on the degree of cation ordering. The resistivity of the parent compound shows a semiconducting behavior below room temperature, but those of the doped samples exhibit a metal–semiconductor transition. A correlation between the resistivity and metal-semiconducting transition temperature (T_M−S) is observed. The resistivity and T_M−S of the compounds decrease with x for x0.2 and increase for x0.2. Magnetoresistance of the compounds is reduced by the La/Ba doping. All these observations can be understood based on the interplay of the electron doping, change in bandwidth and the anti-site defect concentration.     

离子掺杂钙钛矿量子点玻璃研究进展

近年来,全无机钙钛矿量子点因其优异的光电性能受到研究者的广泛关注,但其较差的稳定性极大地限制了其应用。利用玻璃优异的稳定性,控制钙钛矿量子点在玻璃中原位析出,使玻璃包覆在钙钛矿量子点周围,隔绝其与外界环境的接触,有效地提高了其稳定性。通过在钙钛矿量子点玻璃中掺杂特定的离子可以调控钙钛矿量子点的析晶情况和发光峰位,并可引入新的发光中心。本文根据掺杂离子的目的,综合介绍了离子掺杂钙钛矿量子点玻璃的研究进展,为近期关于离子掺杂钙钛矿量子点玻璃的研究提供了思路和参考。     

金属离子掺杂对CuO基纳米复合材料的交换偏置调控

为了研究反铁磁基体中掺杂的金属离子对交换偏置效应的影响, 本文采用非均相沉淀法制备了纳米复合材料. X射线衍射图(XRD)和场发射扫描电子显微镜(SEM) 照片清晰表明CuO纳米复合样品具有统一的颗粒尺寸, 约为80 nm. 通过体系中掺杂磁性金属离子Ni和Fe, 实现了亚铁磁MFe₂O₄ (M=Cu, Ni)晶粒镶嵌在反铁磁(AFM) CuO 基体中. 在CuO基体中加入少量的Ni能改变两相交界面的磁无序从而生成类自旋玻璃相, 相应提高对铁磁相磁矩的钉扎作用. 同时, 场冷过程中反铁磁相内形成磁畴, 冻结在原始状态或磁场方向上, 畴壁也起到钉扎铁磁自旋的作用, 进而提高交换偏置效应. 随后加入的Ni 会生成各向异性能较大的NiO, 也能够提高交换偏置场. 在带场冷却下, 所有样品均发生垂直交换偏置, 也证明了样品在场冷过程中形成了自旋玻璃相, 正是由于亚铁磁与自旋玻璃相界面上的磁交换耦合, 才导致回线在整个测量范围内发生了向上偏移. 零场冷却和场冷却(ZFC/FC)情况下磁化强度与温度变化曲线(M-T)说明在这些复合材料中的交换偏置效应是由于存在亚铁磁颗粒和类自旋玻璃相界面处的交换耦合作用. 研究发现随着持续掺杂Ni离子, 交换偏置场先缓慢增加后又急剧增加, 生成各向异性能高的反铁磁相NiO 和反铁磁相内的畴态组织是这一结果的原因.     

掺杂下铁磁/反铁磁双层膜中交换偏置的增强

采用了Monte-Carlo方法,讨论了反铁磁层中不同非磁性掺杂浓度下,铁磁/反铁磁双层膜中交换偏置的温度特性. 模拟结果显示：反铁磁层中非磁性掺杂能导致铁磁/反铁磁双层膜中交换偏置的增强. 同时,交换偏置随非磁性掺杂浓度的变化存在极大值,即同一温度下交换偏置随掺杂浓度的变化是非单调的. 并且,随着温度的升高交换偏置的最大值所对应的掺杂浓度向浓度低的方向移动. 它和Hong Jung-Il等人的实验结果完全一致. 究其原因在于反铁磁层相应的自旋排布、磁畴结构等随掺杂浓度的改变发生大的变化,当其正向磁畴和负向磁畴都形成连通的网络结构时,系统的交换偏置达最大. 比较了随机掺杂与规则掺杂的模拟结果. 模拟结果表明规则掺杂能够获得比随机掺杂更大的交换偏置,进一步表明了铁磁/反铁磁双层膜中交换偏置的特性与铁磁/反铁磁界面磁畴结构密切相关.     

The effect of nonmagnetic defects on magnetic behavior for multilayers Ta/Co/Co3O4/Ta

The exchange bias field H_E was much higher for Ta/Co/Co₃O₄/Ta than Ta/Co/Co₃O₄, fabricated in a magnetron sputtering system under the same experimental conditions. The XPS analysis showed that Ta atoms of cap layer for Ta/Co/Co₃O₄/Ta diffused into Co₃O₄ layer and reduced Co₃O₄, and introduced some nonmagnetic defects into the AFM layer. The dilution of the AFM layer led to the formation of volume domains. We believed that the higher H_E for the multilayers Ta/Co/Co₃O₄/Ta was primarily attributed to the formation of volume domain due to some nonmagnetic defects in AFM layer.     

Influence of Ga+ ion irradiation on the magnetisation reversal process and magnetoresistance in CoFe/Cu/CoFe/IrMn spin valves

Ga+ion irradiation is performed on the surfaces of IrMn-based spin valves and the effects of ion irradiation on the magnetisation reversal process and magnetoresistance(MR) are investigated.The results show that the exchange bias field and magnetoresistance ratio of the spin valve decrease with the increase of ion dose.The width of the forward step between the free layer and the pinned layer becomes gradually smaller with the increase of ion dose whilst the recoil step tends to be narrower with ion dose increasing up to 6×10 13 ions/cm 2 and the step disappears afterwards.Two peaks in the R-H curve are found to be asymmetric.     

Influence of Ga+ ion irradiation on thermal relaxation of exchange bias field in exchange-coupled CoFe/IrMn bilayers

This paper reports that the CoFe/IrMn bilayers are deposited by magnetron sputtering on the surfaces of thermallyoxidized Si substrates.It investigates the thermal relaxations of both non-irradiated and Ga + ion irradiated CoFe/IrMn bilayers by means of holding the bilayers in a negative saturation field.The results show that exchange bias field decreases with the increase of holding time period for both non-irradiated and Ga + ion irradiated CoFe/IrMn bilayers.Exchange bias field is also found to be smaller upon irradiation at higher ion dose.This reduction of exchange bias field is attributed to the change of energy barrier induced by ion-radiation.     

Ni2+掺杂和卤素空位填充协同抑制CsPbBr3纳米晶体中的离子迁移

卤化铅钙钛矿(LHPs)由于具有优异的光电性能和制备成本低等优点,已成为新一代光电器件的有力候选材料。然而,缺陷造成的离子迁移会导致LHPs纳米晶的晶体结构解离分解。因此,稳定性成为LHPs实际应用中亟待解决的问题。本文旨在研究镍离子替位掺杂及卤素空位填补对CsPbBr3纳米晶中的离子迁移抑制作用。通过离子迁移活化能的测定和高分辨透射电镜的原位观察,分析了前驱体掺杂剂对加强LHPs稳定性的作用原理。首先,选用乙酰丙酮镍和溴化镍作为掺杂剂,合成了掺杂LHPs纳米晶。其次,通过吸收-荧光光谱,X射线衍射,X射线光电子衍射,透射电子显微镜等测试手段对掺杂样品的光学及化学组成进行分析。最后,通过纳米晶薄膜电导率的温度依赖关系计算出其离子迁移活化能,并结合高分辨电镜原位观察纳米晶在高能电子束辐照下的形貌演变过程,揭示了不同掺杂剂对合成掺杂LHPs稳定性的影响。实验结果表明:Ni²⁺掺杂CsPbBr3样品的离子迁移活化能相较本征CsPbBr3样品(0.07 eV)有显著提升,其中乙酰丙酮镍掺杂样品的离子迁移活化能为0.238 eV,溴化镍掺杂样品的离子迁移活化能为0.487 eV。另外,电子束辐照测试表明溴化镍掺杂钙钛矿晶体表现出更高的结构稳定性,这主要归因于掺杂的Ni²⁺对卤素的强结合和卤素填补空位缺陷的协同钝化作用。Ni²⁺掺杂和卤素空位填充协同可以有效抑制卤化物钙钛矿纳米晶体中的离子迁移。     

Disorder induced negative magnetization in LaSrCoRuO6

This paper reports effect of thermally induced disorder on the magnetic properties of LaSrCoRuO₆ double perovskite. While the ordered sample is antiferromagnetic, the disordered sample exhibits negative values of magnetization measured in low applied fields. Isothermal magnetization on this sample shows hysteresis due to the presence of ferromagnetic interactions. Based on neutron diffraction and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) studies, these results have been interpreted to be due to disorder in site occupancy of Co and Ru leading to octahedral distortions and formation of Ru-O-Ru ferromagnetic linkages. Below 150 K these ferromagnetic Ru spins polarize the Co spins in a direction opposite to that of the applied field resulting in observed negative magnetization.     

A magnetic pair-breaking effect in rare earth-doped manganites

The magnetic properties of La_0.60R_0.07Di_0.33MnO₃ ferromagnetic manganites (Di = Sr, Ba) are studied, where La is partly replaced by magnetic rare earths R. It is shown that (i) there is a ferromagnetic coupling between Mn and R spins, (ii) the Curie temperature is lowered compared to the parent La compound and (iii) its depression is correlated with the effective moment of the rare earth ion. This last relation is tentatively explained by a magnetic pair-breaking effect, where fluctuating R moments lower the double-exchange coupling between Mn atoms.     

Dielectric relaxation and ac conductivity of double perovskite oxide Ho2ZnZrO6

Double perovskite oxide holmium zinc zirconate Ho₂ZnZrO₆ (HZZ) is synthesized by solid state reaction technique under a calcination temperature of 1100 °C. The crystal structure has been determined by powder X-ray diffraction, which shows monoclinic phase at room temperature. The variation of dielectric constant (ε′) and loss tangent (tan δ) with frequency is carried out assuming a distribution of relaxation times. The frequency corresponding to loss tangent peak is found to obey an Arrhenius law with activation energy of 89.7 meV. The frequency-dependant electrical data are analyzed in the framework of conductivity and electric modulus formalisms. Both these formalisms show qualitative similarities in relaxation times. The scaling behaviour of imaginary electric modulus shows the temperature-independent nature of the distribution of relaxation times. Nyquist plots are drawn to identify an equivalent circuit and to know the bulk and interface contributions.

Effects of different annealing atmospheres on magnetic properties in La2CoMnO6 single crystals

We have successfully synthesized the high-quality single crystals of double perovskite La₂CoMnO₆ by flux method and investigated the effects of different annealing conditions on the magnetic properties. In an as-grown crystal, ferromagnetic order along the c axis arises below 204 K, and the spin-glass-type behavior inherent from ionic disorders is also observed. Upon annealing in different gas environments, the reconstructed magnetic states induce a metamagnetic transition (after Ar annealing), and increase Curie temperature (after O₂ annealing). After quenching, the magnetic transition temperature decreases significantly, comprising lots of defects and disorders. Our results provide adequate procedures to control magnetic properties of double-perovskite compounds.     

Orbital-decomposed electronic and magnetic properties of the double perovskite Sr2FeReO6

The detailed orbital-decomposed electronic structures and magnetic properties of the double perovskite Sr₂FeReO₆ have been studied using the first-principles projector augmented wave (PAW) potential within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Both occupied and unoccupied s and three p states of Fe³⁺ ion are located far away from the Fermi level, while all up-spin states and most down-spin states are completely filled for the s and three p states of Re⁵⁺ ion. The octahedral crystal field of the oxygen atoms around transition-metal (TM) sites splits the five-fold degenerate d states of the free TM atoms into triply degenerate t_2g states with smaller bonding-antibonding splitting and doubly degenerate e_g states with larger bonding-antibonding splitting. The Fe³⁺ and Re⁵⁺ ions are in the states (3d⁵, S=5/2) and (5d², S=1) with magnetic moments 3.70 and −0.86μ_B, respectively and thus antiferromagnetic coupling via oxygen between them. There are no direct interactions between two nearest Fe-Fe or Re-Re pairs, whereas along each Fe-O-Re-O-Fe or Re-O-Fe-O-Re chains, the hybridizations between Fe 3d and 4s, O 2s and 2p, as well as Re 5p, 5d and 6s orbitals are fairly significant.
