La0.5Ca0.5MnO3内禀与界面电脉冲诱导电阻转变效应的比较

一般地,钛矿结构锰氧化物的电脉冲诱导电阻转变(EPIR) 效应源于非内禀界面处的肖特基势垒. 本文采用固相烧结法制备了La_0.5Ca_0.5MnO₃ (LCMO)陶瓷样品, 用四线测量模式对样品电输运性质, 特别对其内禀EPIR效应和忆阻器行为进行了研究. 室温下, 尽管样品在四线测量模式下的I-V特性曲线呈欧姆线性规律, 但在适当的脉冲电压刺激下, 仍能诱导产生明显、稳定的EPIR效应. 通过与二线模式的界面EPIR比较, 发现LCMO内禀EPIR效应具有更小的脉冲临界电压、更好的稳定性和抗疲劳特性, 是稀土掺杂锰氧化物中观察到的一类新颖的EPIR效应. 关键词： 钙钛矿结构锰氧化物 电致电阻效应 电脉冲诱导电阻转变效应 肖特基势垒

Nd0.7Sr0.3MnO3陶瓷中界面“陷阱态”相关电阻转变行为

通过固相烧结和高能球磨后热处理两种方法分别得到不具晶(相)界和具有明显晶(相)界的两种Nd_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃陶瓷样品, 并用两线法和四线法分别对这两种样品的电极-块体接触界面和晶(相)界界面的I-V和电脉冲诱导电阻转变效应(EPIR)进行研究. 结果发现, 在两线法测试下, 电极-块体界面具有回滞的非线性I-V特征, 并能产生稳定的EPIR效应, EPIR的稳定性随温度的升高逐渐减弱并消失; 而对具有明显晶(相)界的陶瓷样品, 四线法测试结果表明, 虽然其I-V行为也具有非线性和回滞性特点, 但不能产生EPIR 效应. 这些奇特的界面输运行为与界面中的各种缺陷充当“陷阱”并实现对载流子的捕捉和释放过程密切相关. 而大量的晶(相)界界面及其复杂的连接方式导致较大的漏导则是晶(相)界不能出现EPIR效应的主要原因.     

Nd0.7Sr0.3MnO3陶瓷EPIR效应的起源

Temperature dependence of electroresistance for La0.67Ba0.33MnO3 manganite

The influence of dc biasing current on temperature dependence of resistance of La_0.67Ba_0.33MnO₃ bulk sample is reported. A decrease in the resistance (electroresistance) on the application of higher bias current is observed. The electroresistance is maximum at metal-insulator transition temperature (T_MI) and decreases when the temperature is either increased or decreased from T_MI. A two-phase model is proposed to explain the occurrence of electroresistance. The higher bias current leads to an increase in alignment of spins and thus, in turn, leads to an increase in spin stiffness coefficient and decrease in the resistance at T_MI.     

Structural and electrical properties of high-energy ball-milled NASICON type Li1.3Ti1.7Al0.3(PO4)2.9(VO4)0.1 ceramics

Nano-crystallites of Li_1.3Ti_1.7Al_0.3(PO₄)_2.9(VO₄)_0.1 NASICON type material are prepared by means of solid-state reaction of a stoichiometric mixture after milling it for 22 and 55 h. The milling reduces the average crystallite size of the ceramic to 80 and 60 nm, respectively. Mechanical milling changes structural parameters and the strain induced at the grain-boundaries plays a major role in improving electrical conductivity. An order of magnitude increase in electrical conductivity is observed in the material milled for 55 h compared to the unmilled material, which is also reflected in permittivity loss. Modulus and permittivity representations substantiate the constriction effect of grain-boundaries observed in the complex impedance representation.     

Giant electroresistance and nonlinear conduction in electron-doped Ca0.9Ce0.1MnO3

We report a large resistance drop induced by Dc electrical currents in charge-ordered Ca_0.9Ce_0.1MnO₃. A giant electroresistance (ER) of ∼90% at 100 mA current below charge ordering (CO) transition temperature (T_CO) is found. Nonlinear conduction, which starts above a threshold current, gives rise to a region of negative differential resistance (NDR). The nonlinear conduction cannot be explained by homogeneous Joule heating of the sample. The origin of these phenomena is discussed in view of current induced collapse of CO state associated with phase-separation mechanism. This work can be useful for the potential applications of ER such as nonvolatile memory elements.     

Preparation of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles by high-energy ball milling

α-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles were prepared by high-energy ball milling using α-FeOOH as raw materials. The prepared samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis–thermogravimetric analysis (DTA–TGA). The results showed that after 90 h milling α-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles were obtained, and the particle size is about 20 nm. The mechanism of reaction during milling is supposed that the initial α-FeOOH powder turned smaller and smaller by the high-speed collision during ball milling, later these particles turned to be superparamagnetic, at last these superparamagnetic α-FeOOH particles were dehydrated and transformed into α-Fe₂O₃.     

Hopping type of conduction in (Na0.5Bi0.5)ZrO3 ceramic

Polycrystalline sample with (Na_0.5Bi_0.5)ZrO₃ (NBZ) stoichiometry was prepared using a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicate the formation of a single-phase perovskite-type orthorhombic structure. AC impedance plot is used as tool to analyse the electrical behaviour of the sample as a function of temperature at different frequency. The AC impedance studies revealed the presence of grain boundary effect and evidence of a negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) character. Pseudo Cole-Cole and complex electric modulus analyses indicated non-Debye-type dielectric relaxation. The AC conductivity obeys the universal power law. The pair approximation type correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model explains the universal behaviour of the s exponent. The apparent activation energy to the conduction process and minimum hopping distance are discussed.     

Structural and impedance properties of Ca3Nb2O8 ceramics

Polycrystalline sample of Ca₃Nb₂O₈ was prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the formation of single-phase compound of hexagonal (rhombohedral) crystal structure at room temperature. Scanning electron micrograph of the material showed uniform grain distribution on the surface of the sample. Detailed studies of dielectric properties of the compound, studied in a wide frequency range (10²-10⁶ Hz) at different temperatures (25-500 °C), exhibit a dielectric anomaly suggesting phase transition of ferroelectric-paraelectric and structural type at 300 °C. Electrical properties of the material were analyzed using a complex impedance technique. The Nyquists plot showed the presence of bulk effect in the material in the studied temperature range. Studies of electrical conductivity over a wide temperature range suggest that the compound has negative temperature coefficient of resistance behavior.     

Mössbauer study of Mg–Ni(Fe) alloys processed as materials for solid state hydrogen storage

Mg–Ni–Fe magnesium-rich intermetallic compounds were prepared following two distinct routes. A Mg₈₈Ni₁₁Fe₁ sample (A) was prepared by melt spinning Mg–Ni–Fe pellets and then by high-energy ball milling for 6 h the obtained ribbons. A (MgH₂)₈₈Ni₁₁Fe₁ sample (B) was obtained by high-energy ball milling for 20 h a mixture of Ni, Fe and MgH₂ powders in the due proportions. A SPEX8000 shaker mill with a 10:1 ball to powder ratio was used for milling in argon atmosphere. The samples were submitted to repeated hydrogen absorption/desorption cycles in a Sievert type gas–solid reaction controller at temperatures in the range 520?÷?590 K and a maximum pressure of 2.5 MPa during absorption. The samples were analysed before and after the hydrogen absorption/desorption cycles by X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The results concerning the hydrogen storage properties of the studied compounds are discussed in connection with the micro-structural characteristics found by means of the used analytical techniques. The improved kinetics of hydrogen desorption for sample A, in comparison to sample B, has been ascribed to the different behaviour of iron atoms in the two cases, as proved by Mössbauer spectroscopy. In fact, iron results homogeneously distributed in sample A, partly at the Mg₂Ni grain boundaries, with catalytic effect on the gas–solid reaction; in sample B, instead, iron is dispersed inside the hydride powder as metallic iron or superparamagnetic iron.     

Enhancement of low-field magnetoresistance in Fe3O4 particles induced by ball milling

A series of Fe₃O₄ particles with different size have been obtained by mechanical ball milling from t=0-450 h. Crystal structure and microstructure of the samples are analyzed by XRD and SEM. An emphasis has been placed on magnetic and transport properties. The experimental results indicate that the sample t=350 exhibits an enhancement of magnetoresistance (MR) comparing with initial powder compress sample (t=0). The low-field magnetoresistance reaches MR=−6.04% at Verwey temperature 120 K and MR=−2.54% at 290 K. Thermal behavior TGA analysis and investigation of magnetic properties have revealed that there is an oxide layer on surface of Fe₃O₄ particles. It is considered that the enhanced magnetoresistance can be taken into account in terms of spin-dependent tunneling effect between Fe₃O₄ particles.Temperature dependence of magnetization and resistivity are measured in order to study electrical and magnetic behavior near Verwey transition. In addition, we also discuss ball milling time dependence of coercivity H_c and specific magnetization M_s of these samples.
