All of the experiments prove that the atom energy determined by sputtering power plays an important role in the orientated growth of the ZnFe204 thin films, and it matches well with HPT. The ZnFe2O4 thin films exhibit ferromagnetism with a magnetization of 84.25 ld/mol at room temperature, which is different from the bulk counterpart （antiferromagnetic as usual）. The ZnFe204 thin films can be used as high-quality oriented inducing buffer layers for other spinel （Ni, Mn）Zn ferrite thin films and may have high potential in magnetic thin films-based devices.展开更多

The dependence of IEC on the structural parameters, such as non-magnetic spacer thickness, number of magnetic layers, and carrier density in the systems has been investigated by using magnetotransport measurements. The samples in the series show both a typical anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and giant magnetoresistance (GMR)-like effects indicating realization of both ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) IEC in (Ga,Mn)As-based multilayer structures. The results revealed that the presence of carriers in the nonmagnetic spacer is an important factor to realize AFM IEC in this system. The studies further reveal that the IEC occurs over a much longer distance than predicted by current theories, strongly suggesting that the IEC in (Ga,Mn)As-based multilayers is a long-range interaction. Due to the long-range nature of IEC in the (Ga,Mn)As-based systems, the next nearest neighbor (NNN) IEC cannot be ignored and results in multi-step transitions during magnetization reversal that correspond to diverse spin configurations in the system. The strength of NNN IEC was experimentally determined by measuring minor loops that correspond to magnetization flips in specific (Ga,Mn)As layer in the multilayer system.展开更多

However, the existence of magnetostriction in all known ferromagnetic systems indicates that the magnetic moment is coupled to the crystal lattice; hence there is a possibility that magnetic ordering may cause a change in crystal structure. With the development of high-resolution synchrotron XRD, more and more magnetic transitions have been found to be accompanied by simultaneous structural changes. In this article, we review our recent progress in understand- ing the structural change at a ferromagnetic transition, including synchrotron XRD evidence of structural changes at the ferromagnetic transition, a phenomenological theory of crystal structure changes accompanying ferromagnetic transitions, new insight into magnetic morphotropic phase boundaries （MPB） and so on. Two intriguing implications of non-centric symmetry in the ferromagnetic phase and the first-order nature of ferromagnetic transition are also discussed here. In short, this review is intended to give a self-consistent and logical account of structural change occurring simultaneously with a ferromagnetic transition, which may provide new insight for developing highly magneto-responsive materials.展开更多

Complex 1 is a centrosymmetric dimer with two copper（H） centers, two py ligands and two L2- ligands. Each L2- ligand donates its azomethine nitrogen and one of the phenolate groups to one copper（Ⅱ） ion and shares the other phenolate group between the two copper（H） ions, affording a Cu2O2 plane. Each copper（Ⅱ） center has a slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry with a bridging phenolate group at the apex. Magnetic studies suggest the presence of a weak ferromagnetic interaction Via two phenoxo bridges. The magnetic susceptibility data （2-300 K） of complex 1 were analyzed by means of H = -2JS1S2 -DSz. The least-squares fitting of the data to the theoretical equation leads to J = 10.3 cm-1, g = 2.03, D = 0.67 cm-1 and R = ∑（Xobsd -Xcalcd）2/∑Xobsd2= 2.76 × 10^-3.展开更多

The complex crystallizes in triclinic, space group P 1^-, with α = 9.440（5）, b = 10.124（6）, c = 11.603（7） A, α = 102.904（7）, β = 94.033（6）,γ = 104.299（7）°, C34H40Cu2N16O8, Mr = 927.90, V= 1038.2（10） A^3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.484 g/cm^3, μ（MoKα） = 1.093 mm^-1, F（000） = 478, R = 0.0609 and wR = 0.1512 for 2889 observed reflections with Ⅰ 〉 2σ（I）. X-ray analysis reveals that two Cu（Ⅱ） atoms are bridged by two dicyanamides to form a centrosymmetric Cu（Ⅱ）-Cu（Ⅱ） dinuclear entity. Every Cu（Ⅱ） ion is five-coordinated with a distorted square pyramidal coordination geometry and IM-1′-MeBzlm ligand coordinates to the metal ion with the k^2 N（1 ′-MeBzlm）, O（IM） mode to avoid steric hindrance with the methyl group in the complex. Meanwhile, the molecules are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, leading to a 1-D chain structure. Moreover, such chains are further linked by π-π stacking interactions to form a 2-D network structure. Magnetic measurement demonstrates that the intramolecular exchange couplings between Cu（Ⅱ） ion and the IM-1 ′-MeBzIm are ferromagnetic with J = 12.46 cm^-1, where the spin Hamitonian is defined as H^ = -2JS^1S^2 within the complex.展开更多

Cyclic voltammetry(CV) measurements indicated that compound 1 exhibited two quasireversible iron-centered reduction processes at –0.71 and –0.17 V and one quasireversible nickel-centered oxidation process at 0.92 V, while compound 2 showed two quasireversible iron-centered reduction processes at –0.66 and –0.09 V and one quasireversible nickel-centered oxidation process at 0.88 V. Magnetic measurements showed that compounds 1 and 2 exhibited strong intrachain ferromagnetic interaction between the low-spin Fe~Ⅲ(S = 1/2) and high-spin Ni~Ⅱ(S = 1) ions.展开更多

Then their magnetic properties, such as the half metallicity and the crystal-cell magnetic moments are investigated. The Sr4X3N possibly have higher Curie temperatures and have more stable half metallicity than the Sr4X3C. Their crystal-cell magnetic moments are all 1.00 μB. The crystal-cell magnetic moments and the half metallicity arise mainly from the N ions. The main mechanism is the strong covalent interaction leading to the sp2 hybridized orbitals in the Sr4X3N. Then two Sr-5s and three N-2p electrons enter into three sp2 hybridized orbitals. Among these five electrons, four electrons are paired and one is unpaired, so there are three spin-up electrons and two spin-down electrons in these sp2 hybridized orbitals.展开更多

The complex crystallizes in triclinic, space group P 1^-, with α = 9.440（5）, b = 10.124（6）, c = 11.603（7） A, α = 102.904（7）, β = 94.033（6）,γ = 104.299（7）°, C34H40Cu2N16O8, Mr = 927.90, V= 1038.2（10） A^3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.484 g/cm^3, μ（MoKα） = 1.093 mm^-1, F（000） = 478, R = 0.0609 and wR = 0.1512 for 2889 observed reflections with Ⅰ 〉 2σ（I）. X-ray analysis reveals that two Cu（Ⅱ） atoms are bridged by two dicyanamides to form a centrosymmetric Cu（Ⅱ）-Cu（Ⅱ） dinuclear entity. Every Cu（Ⅱ） ion is five-coordinated with a distorted square pyramidal coordination geometry and IM-1′-MeBzlm ligand coordinates to the metal ion with the k^2 N（1 ′-MeBzlm）, O（IM） mode to avoid steric hindrance with the methyl group in the complex. Meanwhile, the molecules are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, leading to a 1-D chain structure. Moreover, such chains are further linked by π-π stacking interactions to form a 2-D network structure. Magnetic measurement demonstrates that the intramolecular exchange couplings between Cu（Ⅱ） ion and the IM-1 ′-MeBzIm are ferromagnetic with J = 12.46 cm^-1, where the spin Hamitonian is defined as H^ = -2JS^1S^2 within the complex.

文摘The reaction of tricyanometallate precursor, Bu_4N[Fe(Tp)(CN)_3] and(Bu_4N)[(pzTp)Fe(CN)_3](Tp = tris(pyrazolyl)hydroborate, pzTp = tetrakis(pyrazolyl)borate) with Ni(ClO_4).26 H_2O in the presence of the monodentate N-methylimidazole ligand afforded two new cyano-bridged heterobimetallic {Fe2 Ni} trinuclear clusters, {[Fe(Tp)(CN)_3]_2[Ni(Mim)_4]}·8 H_2O(1) and {[Fe(pzTp)(CN)_3]_2[Ni(Mim)_4]}·2 CH_3OH·2H_2O(2). The molecular structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the two compounds, the FeIII ions were coordinated by three cyanide carbon atoms and three nitrogen atoms of Tp(or pzTp) anions, whereas, the NiII ions were surrounded by two cyanide nitrogen atoms and four nitrogen atoms from four monodentate N-methylimidazole ligands, and they were bridged by tricyanometalate building block to form similar {Fe2Ni} trinuclear clusters. Cyclic voltammetry(CV) measurements indicated that compound 1 exhibited two quasireversible iron-centered reduction processes at –0.71 and –0.17 V and one quasireversible nickel-centered oxidation process at 0.92 V, while compound 2 showed two quasireversible iron-centered reduction processes at –0.66 and –0.09 V and one quasireversible nickel-centered oxidation process at 0.88 V. Magnetic measurements showed that compounds 1 and 2 exhibited strong intrachain ferromagnetic interaction between the low-spin Fe~Ⅲ(S = 1/2) and high-spin Ni~Ⅱ(S = 1) ions.

文摘Two tetraazacyclophane dications(1^(2+) and 2^(2+)) with different remote substituents have been synthesized, isolated and characterized.Their electronic structures and physical property were studied by various spectroscopic techniques, single crystal X-ray diffraction,super conducting quantum interference device(SQUID) measurements and theoretical calculations. The dications have triplet ground states with ferromagnetic interaction exceeding the thermal energy at room temperature. The solid-state structures of these species were tunable by substituent effect, with 1^(2+) as a monomer and 2^(2+) as a dimer.

文摘Magnetoresistance(MR)phenomenon couples the electron transport with magnetic field,which has been at the forefront of condensed matter physics and materials science.Large-MR behaviors are of particularly importance for magnetic sensor and information memory applications,and their scarcity has aroused intensive research.Moreover,due to the different physical origins,combination of large positive and negative MR(pMR and nMR)in one single compound has rarely been reported.In present work,we achieved a coexistence of large pMR and nMR in Cr_(2)Si_(2)Te_(6) ferromagnetic semiconductor single crystal with different field configurations.Specifically,a large nMR of about -60% was obtained under the in-plane field,while a large pMR higher than 1000% took over in the out-of-plane direction.We attribute this field direction-sensitive dualistic large MR behavior to the competition and cooperation effect from the ferromagnetic interaction,orbital scattering and electronic correlation that coexist in Cr_(2)Si_(2)Te_(6),which contribute to n MR,pMR,and nMR,respectively,in dominated temperature and field ranges,and show different weights under different field directions.The elucidated multiple MR mechanism in this ferromagnetic semiconductor will shed light on the pursuit of coexistence of large p MR and nMR for field-sensitive device applications.

文摘Several rocksalt Sr4X3N （X = O, S, Se, and Te） are predicted to be potential half-metallic ferromagnets free of transition-metal and rare-earth elements by performing the first-principles calculations. Then their magnetic properties, such as the half metallicity and the crystal-cell magnetic moments are investigated. The Sr4X3N possibly have higher Curie temperatures and have more stable half metallicity than the Sr4X3C. Their crystal-cell magnetic moments are all 1.00 μB. The crystal-cell magnetic moments and the half metallicity arise mainly from the N ions. The main mechanism is the strong covalent interaction leading to the sp2 hybridized orbitals in the Sr4X3N. Then two Sr-5s and three N-2p electrons enter into three sp2 hybridized orbitals. Among these five electrons, four electrons are paired and one is unpaired, so there are three spin-up electrons and two spin-down electrons in these sp2 hybridized orbitals.

文摘We report a numerical study on the role of longrange dipolar interaction played on the creation and stabilization of skyrmion-(non)crystal structure in chiral ferromagnetic thin films without any anisotropies,based on a Monte-Carlo simulation method.With the increase of external magnetic field,the microscopic spin configuration is transformed from a spin-spiral stripe or labyrinth structure,depending on the strength of dipolar interaction,into a skyrmion-(non)crystal structure,and then into a skyrmiongas structure,and finally into a ferromagnetic state.Interestingly,with the increase of dipolar interaction,the skyrmion-crystal structure evolves from a triangular arrangement into a square arrangement with the change of skyrmion shape from circle to square.For larger dipolar interactions,the skyrmion-crystal structure loses the regular arrangements and the skyrmions,remaining topological,exhibit different shapes and sizes and squeeze with each other,whose distributions are analogous to a non-crystal structure.Therefore,different skyrmion-(non)crystal structures are stabilized in different ranges of dipolar interactions,which further promotes the applications of skyrmions as non-volatile information carriers.
