(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_(0.67)Ba_(0.33)Mn_(1–x)Zn_xO_3的磁性和电输运性质北大核心CSCD

采用传统固相反应法制备了La0.67Ba0.33Mn1–x Znx O3(0≤x≤0.2)多晶样品,系统研究了Zn掺杂对于多晶样品的结构,磁性和电输运性质的影响.XRD衍射表明样品均具有单一的立方钙钛矿结构.在外加磁场(H=1000Oe)环境中测得的磁化强度温度(M^T)曲线表明,在5~350K的温区内所有样品均发生了顺磁相(PM)到铁磁相(FM)的转变.样品的居里温度(TC)和磁化强度随着Zn的掺杂量的增加呈现下降的趋势,当x=0.1时,样品的TC和磁化强度与未掺杂的样品相比下降的幅度不大.但是当x=0.2时,样品的TC和磁化强度都发生明显的下降.从零场(H=0T)和外加磁场(H=2T)下测得的电阻温度曲线可见,样品在测量的温区范围内均发生绝缘相到金属相的转变.随着掺杂量的增加绝缘-金属相转变温度(TIM)向低温区移动,但是样品的电阻逐渐增大.所有样品在TIM附近呈现均出现磁电阻(MR)峰,随着Zn的掺杂量的增加MR值由x=0时的-22%(T=314.5K)增加到x=0.2时的-73%(T=80K),且样品的磁电阻温区被明显拓宽.     

La2/3Ca1/3MnO3/TE(TE=Cu、Fe、Zn)复合颗粒系统的磁输运行为比较性研究

用化学方法制备出La2/3Ca1/3MnO3/TE(TE=Cu、Fe和Zn)复合颗粒系统,并通过零场和外加低磁场(0.3 T)下电阻率(ρ)随温度(T)变化关系测量对这些复合系统的输运和低场磁电阻行为进行了比较性研究.相对于纯La2/3Ca1/3MnO3颗粒系统,Cu引入后,绝缘体-金属转变温度(TIM)降低,ρ减小,ρ(T)曲线表现出明显的热滞豫现象,磁电阻(MR)在转变温度附近表现出峰行为且峰值处的MR值高达～35%.引入Fe后,TIM升高,电阻率减小,但MR随T降低而单调增加.引入Zn后,TIM降低,ρ增加,在TIM附近也出现MR峰但峰值较小.同时,也注意到,在含Fe和Zn的系统中都没有观察到明显的热滞豫现象.     

Co掺杂对La5/8Ca3/8MnO3体系铁磁有序的影响与电子的局域化效应

系统研究了强关联锰氧化物La5/8Ca3/8Mn1-xCoxO3(x=0,0.05)体系的结构和输运特性.结果表明,样品均为很好的正交O′单相结构,Mn位5%Co掺杂明显影响了样品铁磁-顺磁(FM-PM)转变和金属-绝缘体(M-I)转变,M-I转变温度TM-I从未掺杂时的271K降至227K,对应的峰值电阻率ρp增大;随着TM-I的降低,Tc同时降低,磁电阻MR%亦相应增加;La5/8Ca3/8MnO3样品在Tc以下表现出长程铁磁有序态,Mn位5%Co掺杂样品则表现为团簇玻璃型短程铁磁有序行为.证明Co掺杂引起电子的局域化效应乃是导致体系输运行为发生变化的主要原因.同时,从Mn3 -O2--Mn4 双交换(DE)作用和超交换(SE)相互作用机制等出发,对样品的输运行为、CMR效应以及与Co掺杂之间的关联进行了讨论.     

Ru掺杂La0.7Ca0.2Ba0.1Mn1-xRuxO3的磁性和输运性质

利用固相反应法制备了Ru掺杂La0.7Ca0.2Ba0.1Mn1-xRuxO3(x=0～0.06)的多晶样品,探讨了Ru掺杂对体系结构,输运性质以及磁电阻的影响.多晶X射线衍射证实所有样品均保持简单立方钙钛矿结构.通过零场冷却(ZFC)和加场冷却(FC)下的磁化曲线的测量发现随温度降低样品发生了顺磁(PM)到铁磁(FM)的相变,且样品的居里温度(Tc)随Ru掺杂发生了显著的变化,从x=0.00时的306.7K,下降到x=0.02时的294.3K,紧接着又上升到x=0.04时的302.4K.测得居里温度明显高于La0.7Ca0.2Ba0.1Mn1-xMoxO3体系,而且其磁性也大为增强.由零场和外加磁场H=1T测量得到样品的ρ～T曲线表明随温度降低样品同时发生了从绝缘体到金属的转变,绝缘体-金属转变温度低于相应的居里温度.适量的Ru掺杂降低了样品的电阻率,增强了低温时的磁电阻.     

Nd0.5Pb0.5-xSrx (Mn, Fe)O3的局域结构畸变和磁输运性质的研究

通过X光衍射，穆斯堡尔谱和输运性质的测量研究了掺杂Fe的Nd0.5Pb0.5-xSrxMnO3样品的结构和磁输运性质。x光衍射和穆斯堡尔谱都表明了样品随Sr的增多结构畸变减小。Sr的掺杂同时也降低了室温时的电阻率并使磁电阻增大。由于在样品中Mn3+ 与 Mn4+的比率是一样的，也就意味着具有相同的双交换作用。所以Sr对样品性质的改变可以认为是由于晶格畸变所产生的。由于Jahn-Teller 效应而产生的Mn(Fe)O6八面体的局域结构畸变可以局域电子。由我们的实验可以看到在居里温度Tc以上，除了双交换作用之外，Jahn-Teller 效应对于输运性质也起了重要作用。

通过对Mn位Ru替代体系Pr0.5Cao.5Mn1-xRuxO3(0.00≤x≤0.09)的磁性及电输运机制进行研究,发现Ru元素的替代对居里温度Tc、绝缘体-金属相变温度TIM有明显影响,导致了异常电输运及磁电阻行为的出现;随着Ru含量的增加,Tc及TIM均向高温区移动,在外加磁场作用下,电阻率峰值被强烈压缩,从而导...

实验上研究了液氦温区La2/3Ca1/3Mn1-xCuxO3(x=0.15)单相多晶样品给定磁场下的电阻随时间的变化,发现磁电阻随时间变化并非遵从对数规律而是呈指数型变化行为.对这一指数型磁电阻弛豫行为的可能起因进行了讨论,指出这是与Mn位上Cu掺杂将额外磁性杂质引入到样品中有关.     

La0.5Ca0.5-xBaxMnO3体系中的异常磁电阻行为

实验研究了La0.5Ca0.5MnO3系统Ca位上Ba掺杂对其磁电阻效应的影响.结果表明,掺杂量低于0.2的样品,磁电阻效应随温度降低而增大,在转变温度附近达到最大值,然后随温度降低而变小,随着温度进一步降低磁电阻效应再次增大.而对于掺杂量高于0.2的样品,磁电阻效应在整个温区随温度降低而单调增加.文中通过考虑铁磁性和反铁磁性两种效应的竞争而对实验观察给出解释.     

Nanoscale multiphase separation at La(2/3)Ca(1/3)MnO3/SrTiO3 interfaces

55Mn nuclear magnetic resonance experiments are reported on a series of fully strained epitaxial La(2/3)Ca(1/3)MnO3 thin films on SrTiO3. We have found evidence of multiple phase segregation into ferromagnetic metallic and nonmetallic regions as well as regions that are nonferromagnetic and insulating. These insulating regions are mainly located close to interfaces and may have a significant impact on the performance of spin-tunnel devices. As a result of phase segregation, the ferromagnetic coupling within the metallic regions is depressed. This accounts for the reduction of the Curie temperature and conductivity in nanometric thin films.     

Al(111)/Al_3Li(111)的界面性质

运用基于第一性原理的平面波贋势法,计算研究了Al (111)/Al_3Li (111)的界面性质.结果表明:Al (111)/Al_3Li (111)的界面具有三种原子配位关系结构,其中界面处仍保持与基体Al一致的三明治堆垛构型的界面稳定性最好.计算表明,该结构界面最薄弱层,位于Al_3Li (111)内,其分离功最小(约1.53 J/m~2),强度最弱,而基体Al和Al_3Li内部的强度随着到界面距离的增大而逐渐增强.     

Possible quantum critical point in La(2/3)Ca(1/3)Mn(1-x)Ga x O3

We study the magnetic ground state in La(2/3)Ca(1/3)Mn(1-x)Ga x O3 manganites, where a quantum critical point (QCP) has been theoretically predicted. The metallic ferromagnetic ground state for low Ga doping breaks down for x > or = 0.11, an insulating state being established at low temperatures. Long-range ferromagnetism coexists with short-range magnetic correlations in the concentration range 0.11 < or = x < or = 0.145 while only the short-range correlations survive for x > or = 0.16. We discuss the implications of such a QCP to the physics of manganites and compare to other QCP systems.     

(La1-xYx)2/3Ca1/3MnO3(x=0.195)系统中的磁电阻行为

本文实验上探讨了 (La1-xYx)2/3Ca1/3MnO3(x=0.195)窄带系统不同磁场下的磁电阻行为.实验表明,最大磁电阻效应随磁场增加而实质性提高,例如,7T磁场下最大磁电阻效应高达1.8×105%.同时,我们在远远低于半导体-金属转变温度下也观察到明显的磁电阻效应.文中就磁电阻的起因进行了讨论,特别是基于最近提出的自旋-极化子模型,对实验数据进行了定量的比较性分析,结果表明,该模型虽能预言实验的主要特征,但理论预言随磁场增加而明显偏离实验.     

(Pr,Nd)_(2/3)Sr_(1/3)MnO_3体系中的低温比热反常现象

主要研究了(Pr1-yNdy)2/3Sr1/3MnO3体系多晶样品在低温下的比热反常现象.Pr2/3Sr1/3MnO3在低温下没有比热反常现象,但随着Nd替代Pr,比热反常开始出现,峰值逐渐增加,峰值出现温度逐渐减小;在磁场的作用下,峰值减小,峰值出现温度逐渐增加;经分析,该低温比热反常现象与Schottky效应相关.     

Specific-heat anomaly caused by ferroelectric nanoregions in Pb(Mg(1/3)Nb(2/3))O3 and Pb(Mg(1/3)Ta(2/3))O3 relaxors

The specific heat of typical relaxors, Pb(Mg(1/3)Nb(2/3))O3 (PMN) and Pb(Mg(1/3)Ta(2/3))O3 (PMT), was measured by adiabatic and relaxation methods between 2 and 420 K. A broad anomaly was found in the specific heat curve over the wide temperature range between 150 and 500 K for PMN, and between 50 and 400 K for PMT, which provides evidence for the formation of ferroelectric nanoregions (FNR) in the paraelectric matrix. The entropy of the anomaly was estimated as 3.3 J K(-1) mol(-1) and 2.9 J K(-1) mol(-1) for PMN and PMT, respectively, which implies an order-disorder-type mechanism for the formation of FNR.     

Effects of strontium on the characteristics of Pb(Zr1/2Ti1/2)O3--Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 ceramics

The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of pyrochlore-free lead zirconate titanate-lead zinc niobate ceramics were investigated systematically as a function of Sr doping. The powders of Pb_{(1? x )}Sr _x [0.7(Zr_{1 / 2}Ti_{1 / 2})–0.3(Zn_{1 / 3}Nb_{2 / 3})]O₃, where x?=?0–0.06 were prepared using the columbite-(wolframite) precursor method. The ceramic materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction, dielectric spectra, hysteresis and electromechanical measurements. The phase-pure perovskite phase of Sr-doped PZN--PZT ceramics was obtained over a wide compositional range. The results showed that the optimized electrical properties were also achieved at composition x?=?0.0, which were K _P?=?0.69, d ₃₃?=?670?pC?N^?1, P _r?=?31.9?µC?cm^?2 and ε_rmax?=?18600. Maximum dielectric constant values of the systems decreased rapidly with increasing Sr concentration. Moreover, with increasing Sr concentration dielectric constant versus temperature curves become gradually broader. The diffuseness parameter increased significantly with Sr doping. Furthermore, Sr doping has been shown to produce a linear reduction in the transition temperature (T _m)?=?294.1–12.7x°C with concentration (x). Sr shifts the transition temperature of this system at a rate of 12.7°C?mol^?1%.     

Composition Dependence of Electrocaloric Effect in (1-x)Pb(Mg_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_3-xPbTiO_3 Single Crystals

Composition dependence of electrocaloric effect is investigated in(1- x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3- xP b Ti O3 single crystals by using an eighth-order Landau–Devonshire theory. The applied electric field along [001] direction reduces the ferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition temperatures, but increases the Curie temperatures. The electrocaloric coefficients of tetragonal phase are much larger than that of rhombohedral and monoclinic phase. A negative electrocaloric effect is observed near the MC-T phase transition in 0.69Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.31 Pb Ti O3 single crystal. The application of a strong enough electric field results in a high adiabatic temperature change over a broad range of temperature.Therefore, it would be useful to construct a solid state cooling cycle over a broad temperature range for practical applications.     

Facile preparation and performance of novel high-TC xBi(Ni1/2Ti1/2)O3-(1-x)Pb(Zr1/2Ti1/2)O3 piezoceramics

High Curie temperature (T_C) xBi(Ni_1/2Ti_1/2)O₃-(1-x)Pb(Zr_1/2Ti_1/2)O₃ (xBNT-(1-x)PZT, BNT-PZT) piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the conventional ceramic processing. The composition-induced morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) and its influences on structure and electrical performance were investigated. The synthesized BNT-PZT ceramics exhibit rather pure perovskite structure, and densified microstructure morphology with uniform elementals distribution in both grains and grain boundaries. With increasing the content of Bi(Ni_1/2Ti_1/2)O₃ (BNT), crystal structure of the BNT-PZT ceramics transform from tetragonal phase to rhombohedral phase, and dielectric response peaks change from narrow shape to very broad shape but all presenting dielectric frequency dispersion. The diffused and relaxation dielectric behavior can be fitted well by the quadratic law, and the Vogel-Fulcher law fitting provides additional information on the relaxation characteristic. The MPB effects are confirmed further by ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties measurements. High-T_C combined with excellent piezoelectric performance can be realized in the BNT-PZT system, which presents promising applications in geothermal exploration, aerospace and related elevated temperatures fields.     

Composition Dependence of Electrocaloric Effect in (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 Single Crystals

Composition dependence of electrocaloric effect is investigated in (1-x)Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O_3-xPbTiO₃ single crystals by using an eighth-order Landau—Devonshire theory. The applied electric field along [001] direction reduces the ferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition temperatures, but increases the Curie temperatures. The electrocaloric coefficients of tetragonal phase are much larger than that of rhombohedral and monoclinic phase. A negative electrocaloric effect is observed near the M_C-T phase transition in 0.69 Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-0.31 PbTiO₃ single crystal. The application of a strong enough electric field results in a high adiabatic temperature change over a broad range of temperature. Therefore, it would be useful to construct a solid state cooling cycle over a broad temperature range for practical applications.
