Investigation of ferroelectric transitions in the binary system LiTaO3 [sbnd] Fe2O3

Abstract

A continuous solid solution with the formula Li_1?XTa_1?XFe_2XO₃ O≤x≤. 125 has been identified. Hexagonal a_H axis decreases very slightly with increasing Fe₂O₃ content whereas simultaneously c_H passes through a maximum at x =.06. This behaviour has been tentatively explained on the basis of repulsive forces. The ferroelectric Curie temperature decreases as the composition deviates from LiTaO₃.     

Non-equilibrum population of the Fe3+ electronic states after the electron capture in57Co: LiTaO3

Mössbauer emission spectra of⁵⁷Co: LiTaO₃ show as a consequence of the nuclear decay anomalous emission line intensities in the subspectra of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺. Magnetic field and angle dependence of Fe³⁺ intensities can be explained by taking into account polarization-and crystal-field effects in the excited states. The experimental results for LiTaO₃ are in good agreement with theory and previous measurements on LiNbO₃.     

掺Fe~(3+)对载Ag纳米TiO_2光催化性能的改良

为研究掺杂不同mol分数的Ag+,Fe3+对TiO2薄膜光催化性能的影响,采用溶胶-凝胶法分别制备了掺杂不同质量分数的Ag+,Fe3+及其共掺杂的纳米TiO2光催化杀菌膜。以大肠杆菌为光催化抗菌的反应模型,对TiO2薄膜光催化性能进行了评价。进而采用XRD,Uv-Vis对复合掺杂薄膜的特性进行了测试,以分析Ag+,Fe3+对影响TiO2薄膜的光催化杀菌性能的内在机理。结果表明:在荧光灯照射下,以Ag+,Fe3+各自最佳掺杂量Ag/Ti+=0.05%,Fe/Ti=0.1%,共同掺入TiO2中时,共掺杂杀菌率最高,并且共掺杂有良好的光催化分解能力。所得TiO2晶型基本为锐钛矿型,通过Uv-Vis可以看出共掺杂在可见光区具有良好的吸收性能。Fe3+是由于拓展了TiO2的吸收范围,而Ag+是由于正离子有效地抑制光生电子空穴的复合,它们二者共同合作从而提高了TiO2薄膜的光催化性能。共掺杂相对于单掺杂有着更优异的性能,是进一步的研究方向。     

金红石相Fe3+/TiO2结构与磁特性分子动力学模拟

结合共价作用与量子修正,采用分子动力学方法,模拟计算了300K常压下金红石相Fe3+/TiO2晶体结构及能量参数.结果表明,当掺杂量达5.7mol%时,晶胞参数a与晶胞体积明显增大,八面体共棱部分消失,(110)晶面中的阴离子精细结构逐渐消失,阴离子均方位移与体系能量也明显增大.此外,结构畸变易形成氧空位桥基团(Fe3+-[F心]-Ti4+), 而呈铁磁性,随掺杂量增加,该基团取向变化而易形成反铁磁性,所获得了模拟结果与磁特性与实验结果基本一致.     

Doping effects arising from Ni for Fe in PrFeO3 ceramic thin films

Structural, morphological and transport properties of PrFe_{1? x} Ni _x O₃ (x?=?0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5) thin films grown on LaAlO₃ substrate by pulsed laser deposition were studied experimentally. Structural analysis of the samples showed that they have in-plane compressive strain and single-phase epitaxial growth along with c-axis (001) orientation having orthorhombic structure with space group Pbnm. The observed strain is reduced with Ni substitution. The resistivity as a function of temperature follows the variable range hopping (VRH) model up to certain amount of Ni substitution (x?=?0.3) but fails for higher values of x. From the above model, parameters such as density of states at the Fermi level, N(E _F), hopping energy, E _h, and hopping distance R _h, were calculated. Ni substitution leads to an increase in conductivity and this conduction is controlled by disorder-induced localization of charge carriers. With Ni substitution the gap parameter is found to decrease. The enhancement in conductivity and the failure of VRH model for higher doped compositions at high temperature is discussed.     

Magnetism of Fe clusters formed by buffer-layer assisted growth on Pt(997)

The growth and magnetism of nanometer size Fe clusters on stepped Pt surfaces is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements (MOKE). The clusters are formed on xenon buffer layers of varying thickness and then brought into contact with the substrate by thermal desorption of the Xe. The cluster size is controlled by the thickness of the Xe layer. It is found that clusters of diameter smaller than the Pt terrace width of 2 nm are aligned along the step edges of the Pt(997), thus forming linear cluster chains. In this arrangement, the clusters are ferromagnetic with an easy axis in the direction along the surface normal. If the cluster diameter is larger than the terrace width then the alignment along the step edges is not observed and rather large agglomerates are found which are randomly distributed over the surface. Despite their increased volume, such agglomerates are superparamagnetic with in-plane easy magnetization axis. The enhanced magnetic anisotropy energy in the smallest clusters is originating from hybridization effects at the Fe-Pt interface.

Characterization of periodically poled LiTaO3 crystals by means of spontaneous parametric down-conversion

We describe the observation of quasi-phase-matched spontaneous parametric down-conversion in eee-geometry in periodically poled LiTaO₃ crystals. For scattered light, the two-dimensional angular-frequency intensity distribution was studied. Several detuning curves were recorded, corresponding to high orders m=-2, -3, -4, -5 of quasi-phase matching. The measured periods of domain gratings agree with the data obtained by atomic-force microscopy for the etched crystal surfaces. The presence of both odd and even orders indicates that the lengths of positive and negative domains are unequal. To determine the mean duty cycle for regular domain gratings we propose comparing of the intensities of spontaneous parametric down-conversion in different orders of quasi-phase-matching.

Magnetism of ultrathin Cr layers and Fe/Cr multilayers studied by 119Sn probes

Cr/Sn and Fe/Cr/Sn/Cr multilayers, where monatomic Sn layers are embedded in Cr layers and Fe/Cr multilayers respectively, were prepared by means of ultrahigh-vacuum deposition technique, and the magnetic hyperfine field induced at the ¹¹⁹Sn nuclear sites was examined using conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy. The magnetic structures of the Cr layers are inferred from the size and direction of the magnetic hyperfine field transferred at the Sn sites.     

Non-equilibrium population and slow relaxation of Fe2+ in57Co:LiNbO3 and57Co:LiTaO3 single crystals

The Fe²⁺ fraction observed in the Mössbauer emission spectra of⁵⁷Co:LiNbO₃ and⁵⁷Co:LiTaO₃ exhibits both slow electronic relaxation and nonthermal populations of them _s sublevels of the⁵A_lg orbital singlet ground state at low temperatures (T<15 K) in high magnetic fields. The relaxation rates depend on temperature and on the angle ? between the magnetic field and the crystallographicc-axis.     

Evolution from Diffuse Ferroelectric to Relaxor Ferroelectric in Pb1-xBax（Fe1/2Nb1/2）O3 Solid Solutions

Dielectric and ferroelectric characteristics for Pb1-xBax（Fe1/2Nh/2）O3 （x = 0,0.05,0.1,0.15, and 0.2） ceramics are determined together with their structures. X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis confirms the solid solutions with the cubic structure. The dielectric nature changes from diffuse ferroelectric to relaxor ferroelectric with increasing x, while the phase transition temperature Tc （or Tm） decreases monotonously. The diffuse ferroelectric phase transition is observed in the solid solutions with 0≤x ≤0.05. For Pbl-xBax（Fe1/2Nb1/2）O3 with 0.1≤ x≤0.2, relaxor ferroelectric behavior is determined, and the Vogel-Fulcher equation is used to describe the relaxor behavior. The 1/ε versus T plots reveal the diffusion dielectric characteristics in both diffuse and relaxor ferroelectrics.     

Ferroelectric control of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the Fe/BaTiO(3)(001) interface

Density-functional calculations are employed to investigate the effect of ferroelectric polarization of BaTiO(3) on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the Fe /BaTiO(3)(001) interface. It is found that the interface magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy changes from 1.33 to 1.02 erg cm (-2) when the ferroelectric polarization is reversed. This strong magnetoelectric coupling is explained in terms of the changing population of the Fe 3d orbitals at the Fe/BaTiO(3) interface driven by polarization reversal. Our results indicate that the electronically assisted magnetoelectric effects at the ferromagnetic/ferroelectric interfaces may be a viable alternative to the strain mediated coupling in related heterostructures and the electric field-induced effects on the interface magnetic anisotropy in ferromagnet/dielectric structures.     

Magnetism under high pressure studied by 57Fe and 151Eu nuclear scattering of synchrotron radiation

The nuclear forward scattering (NFS) of synchrotron radiation is especially suited for probing magnetism at very high pressure, here in the Mbar range, by the nuclear resonances of ⁵⁷Fe and ¹⁵¹Eu. We report on high pressure (h.p.) NFS studies with the 14.4 keV transition of ⁵7Fe on magnetic RFe₂ Laves phases of cubic C15 structure (YFe₂, GdFe₂) and hexagonal C14 structure (ScFe₂, TiFe₂) at pressures up to 100 GPa (=1 Mbar). We present also h.p. NFS studies performed with the 21.5 keV resonance of ¹⁵¹Eu, probing the magnetism in the CsCl-type h.p. phase of EuTe. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Assessment of damage ranges by measurements of the refractive index in ion implanted LiNbO3 and LiTaO3

Ion implantation in LiNbO₃ and LiTaO₃ produces radiation damage by nuclear collisions. The amorphisation of the lattice reduces the refractive index of the material. In the case of fast ion bombardment with helium this damage layer is buried below the surface. The refractive index profile which then exists is suitable for an optical waveguide on the surface which supports several modes. Analysis of the refractive index profile yields the damage distribution in the crystal and this in turn can be compared with theoretical estimates of the damage production and ion ranges.

Our analyses show that in the high energy range from 0.5 to 2.0 MeV the depth of the damage is predominantly controlled by the electronic stopping.     

Effect of Mg and Fe Doping on Optical Absorption of LiNbO3 Crystal through First Principles Calculations

Using first principles calculations, we investigate the structural, optical, and electronic properties of LiNbO3 （LN） and M doped LN （M=Mg, Fe）. The density of states are calculated to analyze the effect of doping Mg and Fe ions on the absorption spectra and electronic properties of LN. The results show an ultraviolet shift in the optical absorption edge of Mg-doped LN compared with that of intrinsic LN. On the contrary, the absorption edge of Fe-doped LN crystal reveals a red shift. The optical absorption spectra show an improved optical response in the visible range for Mg-doped LN, which significantly differs from that obtained for Fe-doped LN. The electronic excitations from the valence band to the conduction band of LN leads to an improved optical absorption response in the visible region as observed experimentally. The obvious changes of the doped LN crystal are found in some cases, which provide a helpful guide for preparing doped LN crystal.     

铟掺杂对Fe:LiNbO3晶体近红外光折变性能的影响

采用在Fe:LiNbO3中掺入了铟离子生长的双掺杂InFe:LiNbO3晶体,以波长为1064 nm的近红外会聚光束作为记录光源,通过数字观测装置,对比研究了铟离子掺入前后Fe:LiNbO3晶体和InFe:LiNbO3晶体的光折变性能。实验研究结果表明,铟离子掺入后晶体的光折变响应速度和抗光折变能力明显提高,饱和折射率变化量降低。初步分析认为,InFe:LiNbO3晶体光折变性能的增强是由于掺入的铟离子取代了部分光折变敏感中心,降低了光敏中心的数量,导致晶体光电导增大,响应时间随之缩短。
