层状磁电复合材料谐振频率下的巨磁电容效应

对三明治复合结构Tb_xDy_1-xFe_2-y/Pb(Zr, Ti)O₃/Tb_xDy_1-xFe_2-y的电容与频率及磁场的函数关系进行了实验和理论研究. 实验发现,该复合材料样品的电容随频率的增加而出现多个谐振峰,并且其谐振点随磁场的增加而发生频移. 在谐振点附近,观察到样品的阻抗随磁场的增加由容抗性转变为感抗性,从而同时观察到巨大的正磁电容效应和负磁电容效应. 由复合材料的弹性力学本构方程出发,对该类样品的电容随频率及磁场的变化进行了理论模拟. 结果显示,模拟曲线与实验结果符合得很好. 理论表明该磁致伸缩/压电复合材料的磁电容效应源于磁场诱变的铁磁相柔顺系数. 关键词： 层状复合材料 界面弹性耦合 磁电容效应     

磁场作用下PMN-PT/CFO的磁电效应研究

在弹性力学模型下,推导非理想耦合状态的磁电(ME)电压系数公式.利用CFO随磁场变化的磁致伸缩特性,得到PMN-PT与CFO复合材料的磁电电压系数随磁场以及各参量的变化关系公式.研究了磁电电压系数在磁场下随磁场强度、压电相体积分数v、界面耦合系数k以及PMN-PT介电常数之间的变化关系.研究结果发现:磁电电压系数随PMN-PT体积分数和磁场强度的增大,表现为先增大,后逐渐减小至零;磁电电压系数强烈地依赖于界面耦合系数,耦合系数减小会极大降低复合材料的磁电效应;同时,磁电效应具有一定的频率特性,随着频率的逐渐增大而增大,直至达到稳定.

Magnetoresistance of Fe3O4/Au/Fe3O4 and Fe3O4/Au/Fe spin-valve structures

A detailed study of the in-plane magnetotransport properties of spin valves with one and two Fe₃O₄ electrodes is presented. Fe₃O₄/Au/Fe₃O₄ spin valves exhibit a clear anisotropic magnetoresistance in small magnetic fields but no giant magnetoresistance (GMR). The absence of GMR in these structures is due to simultaneous magnetization reversal in the two Fe₃O₄ layers. By contrast, a negative GMR effect is measured on Fe₃O₄/Au/Fe spin valves. The negative GMR is attributed to an electron spin scattering asymmetry at the Fe₃O₄/Au interface or an induced spin scattering asymmetry in the Au interfacial layers.     

Electrical and magnetic properties of polyaniline/Fe3O4 nanostructures

We report on electrical and magnetic properties of polyaniline (PANI) nanotubes (150 nm in diameter) and PANI/Fe₃O₄ nanowires (140 nm in diameter) containing Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with a typical size of 12 nm. These systems were prepared by a template-free method. The conductivity of the nanostructures is 10⁻¹–10⁻² S/cm; and the temperature dependent resistivity follows a ln ρT^−1/2 law. The composites (6 and 20 wt% of Fe₃O₄) show a large negative magnetoresistance compared with that of pure PANI nanotubes and a considerably lower saturated magnetization (M_s=3.45 emu/g at 300 K and 4.21 emu/g at 4 K) compared with the values measured from bulk magnetite (M_s=84 emu/g) and pure Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (M_s=65 emu/g). AC magnetic susceptibility was also measured. It is found that the peak position of the AC susceptibility of the nanocomposites shifts to a higher temperature (>245 K) compared with that of pure Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (190–200 K). These results suggest that interactions between the polymer matrix and nanoparticles take place in these nanocomposites.     

Magnetic anisotropic properties in Fe3O4 and CoFe2O4 ferrite epitaxy thin films

Epitaxial thin films of Fe₃O₄ and CoFe₂O₄ on MgO (0 0 1) substrates were grown by molecular beam epitaxy at low temperature growth process. Magnetization and hysteresis loop of both films were measured to investigate magnetic anisotropic properties at various temperatures. Anomalous magnetic properties are found to be correlated with crystalline, shape, and stress anisotropies. The Fe₃O₄ film below Verwey structural transition has a change in crystal structure, thus causing many anomalous magnetic properties. Crystalline anisotropy and anomalous magnetic properties are affected substantially by Co ions. The saturation magnetization of Co–ferrite film becomes much lower than that of Fe₃O₄ film, being very different from the bulks. It indicates that the low temperature growth process could not provide enough energy to have the lowest energy state.     

Fe_3O_4单晶薄膜磁性电场调控的微磁学仿真研究

磁性薄膜磁学特性电场调控的相关研究对开发新型低功耗磁信息器件具有突出意义.本文基于电场调控磁性的基本理论,以OOMMF(Object Oriented Micro-Magnetic Frame)微磁学仿真软件为工具,研究了电场对生长于PZN-PT单晶衬底上Fe_3O_4单晶薄膜磁学特性的调控.研究结果显示:无外加电场时,薄膜表现出典型的软磁特性;沿衬底[001]方向施加的外加电场可以使得薄膜矫顽力、矩形比等磁学特性发生显著改变:当外加磁场沿[100]([010])时,施加正值(负值)电场强度可以显著增大薄膜的矫顽力与矩形比,当电场强度不小于0.6 MV/m时薄膜矩形比达到1.这是因为外加电场导致薄膜产生单轴应力各向异性,使得薄膜的等效磁各向异性发生了从无外电场下的面内四重磁晶各向异性向高电场下的近似单轴磁各向异性的过渡.外加1 MV/m与-1 MV/m的电场时等效易磁化轴分别沿[100]与[010]方向.另外,外加1 MV/m(-1 MV/m)的电场强度可以使得铁磁共振的频率增大(减小)接近1 GHz.     

γ-Fe_2O_3/NiO核-壳纳米花的合成、微结构与磁性

利用溶剂热/热分解的方法合成出微结构可控的γ-Fe_2O_3/NiO核-壳结构纳米花.分析表明NiO壳层是由单晶结构的纳米片构成,这些纳米片不规则地镶嵌在γ-Fe_2O_3核心的表面.Fe3O4/Ni(OH)_2前驱体的煅烧时间对γ-Fe_2O_3/NiO核-壳体系的晶粒生长、NiO相含量和壳层致密度均有很大的影响.振动样品磁强计和超导量子干涉仪的测试分析表明,尺寸效应、NiO相含量和铁磁-反铁磁界面耦合效应是决定γ-Fe_2O_3/NiO核-壳纳米花磁性能的重要因素.随着NiO相含量的增加,磁化强度减小,矫顽力增大.在5 K下,γ-Fe_2O_3/NiO核-壳纳米花表现出一定的交换偏置效应(H_E=46 Oe),这来自于(亚)铁磁性γ-Fe_2O_3和反铁磁性NiO之间的耦合相互作用.与此同时,这种交换耦合效应也进一步提高了样品的矫顽力(H_C=288 Oe).     

Hierarchical lichee-like Fe_3O_4 assemblies and their high heating efficiency in magnetic hyperthermia

A nontoxic and biocompatible thermoseed is developed for the magnetic hyperthermia. Two kinds of thermoseed materials: hierarchical hollow and solid lichee-like Fe_3O_4 assemblies, are synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The crystal structure of Fe_3O_4 assemblies are characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, the prepared Fe_3O_4 assemblies are used as a magnetic heat treatment agent, and their heating efficiency is investigated. Compared to solid assembly, hollow lichee-like Fe_3O_4 assembly exhibits a higher specific absorption rate of 116.53 W/g and a shorter heating time, which is ascribed to its higher saturation magnetization, larger initial particle size, and the unique hierarchical hollow structure. Furthermore, the magnetothermal effect is primarily attributed to Néel relaxation. Overall, we propose a facile and convenient approach to enhance the heating efficiency of magnetic nanoparticles by forming hollow hierarchical assemblies.     

The thermal spreading of antimony oxides onto Fe2O3

The uniform antimony-rich surface layer on Fe₂O₃ was carried out via thermal spreading of Sb₂O₃ and Sb₂O₄. TG–DTA results indicate that the oxidation temperature of Sb₂O₃ was decreased ca. 100 K due to thermal spreading effect. Although Sb₂O₄ is almost catalytically inert for oxidation of isobutane and Fe₂O₃ is a typical non-selective catalyst for this reaction, the formation of antimony-rich layer suppresses the combustion reactions and favors the partial oxidation reactions. When Sb₂O₄ instead of Sb₂O₃ was used as antimony resource, the enrichment of antimony on Fe₂O₃ surface was much lower. However, the reaction atmosphere of isobutane oxidation enhances antimony spreading over Fe₂O₃ surface. According to Mars–Van Krevelen mechanism, some Sb₂O₄ in catalysts could be intermediately reduced into Sb₂O₃ during reaction of isobutene oxidation, which thermal spreading is much easier. As shown by Raman results, the Sb₂O₄ that has been spread on Fe₂O₃ surface is probably amorphous.     

Growth and magnetism of Ni nanoparticles in Ni/Al2O3/Si or Si3N4 multilayers

We report on the fabrication of Ni/Al₂O₃/Si and textured Ni/Al₂O₃/Si₃N₄ multilayers containing Ni nanoparticles that exhibit significantly improved results. The secondary phases arising from thermal reaction between Ni and Si can be remarkably suppressed with increasing layers of Al₂O₃ and deposition of Ni/Al₂O₃ multilayers on Si₃N₄ substrates. Atomic force microscopy shows the formation of large as well as nanoclusters of Ni when grown on Si, whereas textured Ni nanoparticles are formed on Si₃N₄ substrates. The magnetization measurements on Ni/Al₂O₃/Si containing a single buffer layer of Al₂O₃ shows higher coercivity field with magnetic nanowire-like behavior, whereas with several Al₂O₃ alternate layers almost a superparamagnetic-like behavior is observed. However, significantly improved magnetic hysteresis was observed in textured Ni/Al₂O₃/Si₃N₄ multilayers due to preferred alignment of Ni nanocrystallites.
