Conductive path and local oxygen-vacancy dynamics:Case study of crosshatched oxides

By employing scanning probe microscopy,conductive path and local oxygen-vacancy dynamics have been investigated in crosshatched La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ thin films grown onto flat and vicinal LaAlO₃(001) single crystal substrates.Consistent with prior studies,the crosshatch topography was observed first by dynamical force microscopy as the epi-stain started to release with increasing film thickness.Second,by using conductive atomic force microscopy(CAFM),conduct...     

Multicaloric and coupled-caloric effects

The multicaloric effect refers to the thermal response of a solid material driven by simultaneous or sequential application of more than one type of external field.For practical applications,the multicaloric effect is a potentially interesting strategy to improve the efficiency of refrigeration devices.Here,the state of the art in multi-field driven multicaloric effect is reviewed.The phenomenology and fundamental thermodynamics of the multicaloric effect are well established.A number of theoretical and experimental research approaches are covered.At present,the theoretical understanding of the multicaloric effect is thorough.However,due to the limitation of the current experimental technology,the experimental approach is still in progress.All these researches indicated that the thermal response and effective reversibility of multiferroic materials can be improved through multicaloric cycles to overcome the inherent limitations of the physical mechanisms behind single-field-induced caloric effects.Finally,the viewpoint of further developments is presented.     

OSCILLATORY INTERLAYER COUPLING WITH Cu AND Zr UNDERLAYER THICKNESS FOR Co/Cu MULTILAYERS

Oscillatory behavior (with a period of about 9 nm) of antiferromagnetic coupling with the thicknesses of Cu and Zr underlayers is reported for sputtered Co(1 nm)/Cu(2.3 nm) multilayers. The related oscillation of magnetoresistance is also observed. Based on the analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns, the variation of crystallographic orientation and modulation period is proved not responsible to the phenomenon. But the underlayer strongly affects the growth orientation of multilayer.

本文报道用单辊急冷方法制备的非晶态合金Fe_(90-x)Mn_xZr_(10)(x=0,4,6,10,15)的磁性,讨论了样品中每个原子的平均磁矩和居里温度T_c随Mn含量x的变化以及类自旋玻璃特性,给出了非晶态Fe_(90-x)Mn_xZr_(10)合金的磁相图。观察到非晶态Fe_(84)Mn_6Zr_(10)合金晶化后的热磁曲线呈不可逆变化。这一现象来自于样品中存在α→γ相(高温)和γ→α相(低温)的转变。     

Mn含量对非晶态FeB合金低温电阻率的影响

非晶态(Fe_(1-x)Mn_x)_(84)B_(16)(x=0,0.01,0.02,0.04,0.06)合金采用单辊急冷法制备,用四端引线法测量了4.2—300K温区样品的电阻率与温度的关系.所有样品的电阻率与温度关系中都呈现出极小值.在极小值温度T_(min)以下,电阻率与-lnT成线性变化,在T>T_(min)时,电阻率与T~2成线性变化.室温温度系数α(RT)=1/ρRT dρ/dT和低温区β=1/ρdρ/d(T~2)的数值随Mn含量x的增加而明显下降,这一现象用推广的Ziman理论和局域自旋涨落效应作了讨论.     

厚度与应变效应对La0.67Ca0.33MnO3薄膜电输运与居里温度的影响

在厚度为25—400nm范围内，系统地研究了 (001)SrTiO_3(STO), (001)LaAlO_3(LAO)衬底上La_0.67Ca_0.33Mn_O.3 (LCMO)薄膜的电输运与居里温度T_C随薄膜厚度及衬底的变化. 结果表明，随薄膜变薄，电阻率ρ增加，T_C降低. 对于同一薄膜厚度，LCMO/STO薄膜的ρ大于LCMO/LAO基上的薄膜的ρ. T_C衬底的依赖关系则与ρ相反. 分析表明，LCMO薄膜的低温区电阻温度(ρ-T) 符合关系式ρ=ρ_0+Bω_s/sin h^2(ω_s/2/k_BT)+CT^n， 其中ρ_0为剩余电阻；等号右端第二项反映软光学模声子对电子散射的贡献；第三项包括其余可能散射机 理在电输运过程中所起的作用；B，ωs（软光学模声子的平均频率）与C都为拟合系数. 高温区的电输运则由小极化子跃迁模型ρ=DT×exp（E_a/k_BT）描述（E_a为极化子激 发能）. 根据ρ_0，ωs，E_a以及T_Ｃ变化，初步讨论了薄膜中的厚度与应变效应. 进一步 研究发现ωs，E_a的变化与T_C相关，从而说明极化子效应为影响T_C变化的主要因素. 关键词： 锰氧化物薄膜 电输运 居里温度 极化子
