Unusual ferromagnetism enhancement in ferromagnetically optimal manganite La0.7-yCa0.3+yMn1-yRuyO3 (0≤y<0.3): the role of Mn-Ru t2g super-exchange.

ABSTRACT: The eg-orbital double-exchange mechanism as the core of physics of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) manganites is well known, which usually covers up the role of super-exchange at the t2g-orbitals. The role of the double-exchange mechanism is maximized in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3, leading to the concurrent metal-insulator transition and ferromagnetic transition as well as CMR effect. In this work, by a set of synchronous Ru-substitution and Ca-substitution experiments on La0.7-yCa0.3+yMn1-yRuyO3, we demonstrate that the optimal ferromagnetism in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 can be further enhanced. It is also found that the metal-insulator transition and magnetic transition can be separately modulated. By well-designed experimental schemes with which the Mn(3+)-Mn(4+) double-exchange is damaged as weakly as possible, it is revealed that this ferromagnetism enhancement is attributed to the Mn-Ru t2g ferromagnetic super-exchange. The present work allows a platform on which the electro-transport and magnetism of rare-earth manganites can be controlled by means of the t2g-orbital physics of strongly correlated transition metal oxides.

Ambipolar ferromagnetism by electrostatic doping of a manganite.

Project description:Complex-oxide materials exhibit physical properties that involve the interplay of charge and spin degrees of freedom. However, an ambipolar oxide that is able to exhibit both electron-doped and hole-doped ferromagnetism in the same material has proved elusive. Here we report ambipolar ferromagnetism in LaMnO3, with electron-hole asymmetry of the ferromagnetic order. Starting from an undoped atomically thin LaMnO3 film, we electrostatically dope the material with electrons or holes according to the polarity of a voltage applied across an ionic liquid gate. Magnetotransport characterization reveals that an increase of either electron-doping or hole-doping induced ferromagnetic order in this antiferromagnetic compound, and leads to an insulator-to-metal transition with colossal magnetoresistance showing electron-hole asymmetry. These findings are supported by density functional theory calculations, showing that strengthening of the inter-plane ferromagnetic exchange interaction is the origin of the ambipolar ferromagnetism. The result raises the prospect of exploiting ambipolar magnetic functionality in strongly correlated electron systems.

Unusual Electrical Transport Driven by the Competition between Antiferromagnetism and Ferromagnetism in Antiperovskite Mn₃Zn1-xCoxN.

Project description:The magnetic, electrical transport and thermal expansion properties of Mn₃Zn1-xCoxN (x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9) have been systematically investigated. Co-doping in Mn₃ZnN complicates the magnetic interactions, leading to a competition between antiferromagnetism and ferromagnetism. Abrupt resistivity jump phenomenon and negative thermal expansion behavior, both associated with the complex magnetic transition, are revealed in all studied cases. Furthermore, semiconductor-like transport behavior is found in sample x = 0.7, distinct from the metallic behavior in other samples. Below 50 K, resistivity minimum is observed in samples x = 0.4, 0.7, and 0.9, mainly caused by e-e scattering mechanism. We finally discussed the strong correlation among unusual electrical transport, negative thermal expansion and magnetic transition in Mn₃Zn1-xCoxN, which allows us to conclude that the observed unusual electrical transport properties are attributed to the shift of the Fermi energy surface entailed by the abrupt lattice contraction.

Microscopic origins for stabilizing room-temperature ferromagnetism in ultrathin manganite layers.

Project description:La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO(3) is a conducting ferromagnet at room temperature. Combined with thin SrTiO(3) layers, the resulting heterostructures could be used as highly spin-polarized magnetic-tunnel-junction memories. However, when shrunk to dimensions below an apparent critical thickness, the structures become insulating and ferromagnetic ordering is suppressed. Interface spin and charge modulations are thought to create an interfacial dead layer, thus fundamentally limiting the use of this material in atomic-scale devices. The thickness of this dead layer, and whether it is intrinsic, is still controversial. Here we use atomic-resolution electron spectroscopy to demonstrate that the degradation of the magnetic and transport properties of La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO(3)/SrTiO(3) multilayers correlates with atomic intermixing at the interfaces, and the presence of extended two-dimensional cation defects in the La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO(3) layers (in contrast to three-dimensional precipitates in thick films). When these extrinsic defects are eliminated, metallic ferromagnetism at room temperature can be stabilized in five-unit-cell-thick manganite layers in superlattices, placing the upper limit for any intrinsic dead layer at two unit cells per interface.

Unusual Role of Excited State Mixing in the Enhancement of Photoinduced Ligand Exchange in Ru(II) Complexes.

Project description:Four Ru(II) complexes were prepared bearing two new tetradentate ligands, cyTPA and 1-isocyTPQA, which feature a piperidine ring that provides a structurally rigid backbone and facilitates the installation of other donors as the fourth chelating arm, while avoiding the formation of stereoisomers. The photophysical properties and photochemistry of [Ru(cyTPA)(CH3CN)2]2+ (1), [Ru(1-isocyTPQA)(CH3CN)2]2+ (2), [Ru(cyTPA)(py)2]2+ (3), and [Ru(1-isocyTPQA)(py)2]2+ (4) were compared. The quantum yield for the CH3CN/H2O ligand exchange of 2 was measured to be ?400 = 0.033(3), 5-fold greater than that of 1, ?400 = 0.0066(3). The quantum yields for the py/H2O ligand exchange of 3 and 4 were lower, 0.0012(1) and 0.0013(1), respectively. DFT and related calculations show the presence of a highly mixed 3MLCT/3??* excited state as the lowest triplet state in 2, whereas the lowest energy triplet states in 1, 3, and 4 were calculated to be 3LF in nature. The mixed 3MLCT/3??* excited state places significant spin density on the quinoline moiety of the 1-isocyTPQA ligand positioned trans to the photolabile CH3CN ligand in 2, suggesting the presence of a trans-type influence in the excited state that enhances ligand exchange. Ultrafast spectroscopy was used to probe the excited states of 1-4, which confirmed that the mixed 3MLCT/3??* excited state in 2 promotes ligand dissociation, representing a new manner to effect photoinduced ligand exchange. The findings from this work can be used to design improved complexes for applications that require efficient ligand dissociation, as well as for those that require minimal deactivation of the 3MLCT state through low-lying metal-centered states.

Strain-modulated ferromagnetism and band gap of Mn doped Bi2Se3.

Project description:The quantized anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) have been theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed in magnetic topological insulators (TI), but dissipative channels resulted by small-size band gap and weak ferromagnetism make QAHE be measured only at extremely low temperature (<0.1?K). Through density functional theory calculations, we systemically study of the magnetic properties and electronic structures of Mn doped Bi2Se3 with in-plane and out-of-plane strains. It is found that out-of-plane tensile strain not only improve ferromagnetism, but also enlarge Dirac-mass gap (up to 65.6?meV under 6% strain, which is higher than the thermal motion energy at room temperature ~26?meV) in the Mn doped Bi2Se3. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms of these tunable properties are also discussed. This work provides a new route to realize high-temperature QAHE and paves the way towards novel quantum electronic device applications.

Enhanced Ferromagnetism in Nanoscale GaN:Mn Wires Grown on GaN Ridges.

Project description:The problem of weak magnetism has hindered the application of magnetic semiconductors since their invention, and on the other hand, the magnetic mechanism of GaN-based magnetic semiconductors has been the focus of long-standing debate. In this work, nanoscale GaN:Mn wires were grown on the top of GaN ridges by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), and the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer shows that its ferromagnetism is greatly enhanced. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) reveal an obvious increase of Mn composition in the nanowire part, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and EDS mapping results further indicate the correlation between the abundant stacking faults (SFs) and high Mn doping. When further combined with the micro-Raman results, the magnetism in GaN:Mn might be related not only to Mn concentration, but also to some kinds of built-in defects introduced together with the Mn doping or the SFs.

Competition between antiferromagnetism and ferromagnetism in Sr2RuO4 probed by Mn and Co doping.

Project description:Spin-triplet superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 has attracted enormous interest. Like other unconventional superconductors, superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 is in close proximity to magnetic instability. Undoped Sr2RuO4 exhibits incommensurate antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations, which can evolve into static, short-range AFM order via Ti doping. Moreover, weak ferromagnetic (FM) coupling in Sr2RuO4 has also been suggested by NMR/neutron scattering experiments and studies on Ca2-xSrxRuO4 and Sr2-yLayRuO4, implying orbital dependent magnetism. We report bulk static, short-range FM order in Sr2RuO4 triggered by <2% Co doping, showing superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 is much closer to FM instability than previously reported in Ca2-xSrxRuO4. We also find Mn doping can effectively establish incommensurate AFM order, with TN ~ 50?K for 3% Mn doping. These new results place Sr2RuO4 in a unique situation where superconductivity lies directly on the borderline of two distinct magnetic states, highlighting the important role of competing magnetic fluctuations in determining superconducting properties of Sr2RuO4.

Spin-induced multiferroicity in the binary perovskite manganite Mn2O3.

Project description:The ABO3 perovskite oxides exhibit a wide range of interesting physical phenomena remaining in the focus of extensive scientific investigations and various industrial applications. In order to form a perovskite structure, the cations occupying the A and B positions in the lattice, as a rule, should be different. Nevertheless, the unique binary perovskite manganite Mn2O3 containing the same element in both A and B positions can be synthesized under high-pressure high-temperature conditions. Here, we show that this material exhibits magnetically driven ferroelectricity and a pronounced magnetoelectric effect at low temperatures. Neutron powder diffraction revealed two intricate antiferromagnetic structures below 100?K, driven by a strong interplay between spin, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom. The peculiar multiferroicity in the Mn2O3 perovskite is ascribed to a combined effect involving several mechanisms. Our work demonstrates the potential of binary perovskite oxides for creating materials with highly promising electric and magnetic properties.

Super-Flexible Freestanding BiMnO3 Membranes with Stable Ferroelectricity and Ferromagnetism.

Project description:Multiferroic materials with flexibility are expected to make great contributions to flexible electronic applications, such as sensors, memories, and wearable devices. In this work, super-flexible freestanding BiMnO3 membranes with simultaneous ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism are synthesized using water-soluble Sr3 Al2 O6 as the sacrificial buffer layer. The super-flexibility of BiMnO3 membranes is demonstrated by undergoing an ≈180° folding during an in situ bending test, which is consistent with the results of first-principles calculations. The piezoelectric signal under a bending radius of ≈500 µm confirms the stable existence of electric polarization in freestanding BiMnO3 membranes. Moreover, the stable ferromagnetism of freestanding BiMnO3 membranes is demonstrated after 100 times bending cycles with a bending radius of ≈2 mm. 5.1% uniaxial tensile strain is achieved in freestanding BiMnO3 membranes, and the piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) phase retention behaviors confirm that the ferroelectricity of membranes can survive stably up to the strain of 1.7%. These super-flexible membranes with stable ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism pave ways to the realizations of multifunctional flexible electronics.

Large Enhancement of Ferromagnetism under a Collective Strong Coupling of YBCO Nanoparticles.

Project description:Light-Matter strong coupling in the vacuum limit has been shown, over the past decade, to enhance material properties. Oxide nanoparticles are known to exhibit weak ferromagnetism due to vacancies in the lattice. Here we report the 700-fold enhancement of the ferromagnetism of YBa2Cu3O7-x nanoparticles under a cooperative strong coupling at room temperature. The magnetic moment reaches 0.90 μB/mol, and with such a high value, it competes with YBa2Cu3O7-x superconductivity at low temperatures. This strong ferromagnetism at room temperature suggest that strong coupling is a new tool for the development of next-generation magnetic and spintronic nanodevices.
