Critical behavior of the quasi-two-dimensional semiconducting ferromagnet CrSiTe3.

ABSTRACT: The semiconducting ferromagnet CrSiTe3 is a promising candidate for two-dimensional magnet simply by exfoliating down to single layers. To understand the magnetic behavior in thin-film samples and the possible applications, it is necessary to establish the nature of the magnetism in the bulk. In this work, the critical behavior at the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition in single-crystalline CrSiTe3 is investigated by bulk magnetization measurements. We have obtained the critical exponents (??=?0.170?±?0.008, ??=?1.532?±?0.001, and ??=?9.917?±?0.008) and the critical temperature TC?=?31.0?K using various techniques such as modified Arrott plot, Kouvel-Fisher plot, and critical isotherm analysis. Our analysis suggests that the determined exponents match well with those calculated from the results of renormalization group approach for a two-dimensional Ising model coupled with long-range interaction.

Dislocation-Assisted Quasi-Two-Dimensional Semiconducting Nanochannels Embedded in Perovskite Thin Films.

Project description:Defect engineering in perovskite thin films has attracted extensive attention recently due to the films' atomic-scale modification, allowing for remarkable flexibility to design novel nanostructures for next generation nanodevices. However, the defect-assisted three-dimensional nanostructures in thin film matrices usually has large misfit strain and thus causes unstable thin film structures. In contrast, defect-assisted one- or two-dimensional nanostructures embedded in thin films can sustain large misfit strains without relaxation, which make them suitable for defect engineering in perovskite thin films. Here, we reported the fabrication and characterization of edge-type misfit dislocation-assisted two-dimensional BiMnOx nanochannels embedded in SrTiO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/TbScO3 perovskite thin films. The nanochannels are epitaxially grown from the surrounding films without noticeable misfit strain. Diode-like current rectification was spatially observed at nanochannels due to the formation of Schottky junctions between BiMnOx nanochannels and conducting La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films. Such atomically scaled heterostructures constitute more flexible ultimate functional units for nanoscale electronic devices.

A coronene-based semiconducting two-dimensional metal-organic framework with ferromagnetic behavior.

Project description:Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have so far been highlighted for their potential roles in catalysis, gas storage and separation. However, the realization of high electrical conductivity (>10-3 S cm-1) and magnetic ordering in MOFs will afford them new functions for spintronics, which remains relatively unexplored. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis of a two-dimensional MOF by solvothermal methods using perthiolated coronene as a ligand and planar iron-bis(dithiolene) as linkages enabling a full π-d conjugation. This 2D MOF exhibits a high electrical conductivity of ~10 S cm-1 at 300 K, which decreases upon cooling, suggesting a typical semiconductor nature. Magnetization and 57Fe Mössbauer experiments reveal the evolution of ferromagnetism within nanoscale magnetic clusters below 20 K, thus evidencing exchange interactions between the intermediate spin S = 3/2 iron(III) centers via the delocalized π electrons. Our results illustrate that conjugated 2D MOFs have potential as ferromagnetic semiconductors for application in spintronics.

Two-Dimensional Half-Metallic and Semiconducting Lanthanide-Based MXenes.

Project description:As a large family of two-dimensional materials, MXenes have attracted intensive attention in recent years. For more functional applications, it is of great significance to determine new MXene members. Here, we theoretically expand the M elements of MXenes to the lanthanide series. Based on density functional theory calculations, the bare lanthanide-based carbides M2C (M = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb) and the corresponding fluorine- and hydroxyl-terminated configurations are investigated. Most of the fluorine- and hydroxyl-terminated MXenes investigated are half-metals. Specifically, in the half-metallic Eu2CF2, the spin-down states show a band gap larger than 2 eV, implying this configuration's potential applications in spin generation and injection. Both Gd2CT2 (T = F and OH) are magnetic semiconductors. The former shows an indirect band gap of 1.38 eV, while the latter presents a direct one of 0.882 eV. These two configurations also show large magnetic moments higher than 13.7 μB per unit cell. All the hydroxyl-terminated MXene members show relatively low work functions, with the lowest value of 1.46 eV determined in Tm2C(OH)2. These predicted electronic properties imply that the lanthanide-based MXenes could have potential applications in spintronics, information storage, near-infrared detectors, field effect transistors, and field emitter cathodes.

Strongly Coupled Magnon-Plasmon Polaritons in Graphene-Two-Dimensional Ferromagnet Heterostructures.

Project description:Magnons and plasmons are different collective modes, involving the spin and charge degrees of freedom, respectively. Formation of hybrid plasmon-magnon polaritons in heterostructures of plasmonic and magnetic systems faces two challenges, the small interaction of the electromagnetic field of the plasmon with the spins, and the energy mismatch, as in most systems plasmons have energies orders of magnitude larger than those of magnons. We show that graphene plasmons form polaritons with the magnons of two-dimensional ferromagnetic insulators, placed up to to half a micrometer apart, with Rabi splittings in the range of 100 GHz (dramatically larger than cavity magnonics). This is facilitated both by the small energy of graphene plasmons and the cooperative super-radiant nature of the plasmon-magnon coupling afforded by phase matching. We show that the coupling can be modulated both electrically and mechanically, and we propose a ferromagnetic resonance experiment implemented with a two-dimensional ferromagnet driven by graphene plasmons.

Raman fingerprint of two terahertz spin wave branches in a two-dimensional honeycomb Ising ferromagnet.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) magnetism has been long sought-after and only very recently realized in atomic crystals of magnetic van der Waals materials. So far, a comprehensive understanding of the magnetic excitations in such 2D magnets remains missing. Here we report polarized micro-Raman spectroscopy studies on a 2D honeycomb ferromagnet CrI3. We show the definitive evidence of two sets of zero-momentum spin waves at frequencies of 2.28 terahertz (THz) and 3.75?THz, respectively, that are three orders of magnitude higher than those of conventional ferromagnets. By tracking the thickness dependence of both spin waves, we reveal that both are surface spin waves with lifetimes an order of magnitude longer than their temporal periods. Our results of two branches of high-frequency, long-lived surface spin waves in 2D CrI3 demonstrate intriguing spin dynamics and intricate interplay with fluctuations in the 2D limit, thus opening up opportunities for ultrafast spintronics incorporating 2D magnets.

Critical flow and dissipation in a quasi-one-dimensional superfluid.

Project description:In one of the most celebrated examples of the theory of universal critical phenomena, the phase transition to the superfluid state of (4)He belongs to the same three-dimensional (3D) O(2) universality class as the onset of ferromagnetism in a lattice of classical spins with XY symmetry. Below the transition, the superfluid density ρs and superfluid velocity v s increase as a power law of temperature described by a universal critical exponent that is constrained to be identical by scale invariance. As the dimensionality is reduced toward 1D, it is expected that enhanced thermal and quantum fluctuations preclude long-range order, thereby inhibiting superfluidity. We have measured the flow rate of liquid helium and deduced its superfluid velocity in a capillary flow experiment occurring in single 30-nm-long nanopores with radii ranging down from 20 to 3 nm. As the pore size is reduced toward the 1D limit, we observe the following: (i) a suppression of the pressure dependence of the superfluid velocity; (ii) a temperature dependence of v s that surprisingly can be well-fitted by a power law with a single exponent over a broad range of temperatures; and (iii) decreasing critical velocities as a function of decreasing radius for channel sizes below R ≃ 20 nm, in stark contrast with what is observed in micrometer-sized channels. We interpret these deviations from bulk behavior as signaling the crossover to a quasi-1D state, whereby the size of a critical topological defect is cut off by the channel radius.

Ferromagnetic quasi-atomic electrons in two-dimensional electride.

Project description:An electride, a generalized form of cavity-trapped interstitial anionic electrons (IAEs) in a positively charged lattice framework, shows exotic properties according to the size and geometry of the cavities. Here, we report that the IAEs in layer structured [Gd2C]2+·2e- electride behave as ferromagnetic elements in two-dimensional interlayer space and possess their own magnetic moments of ~0.52 ?B per quasi-atomic IAE, which facilitate the exchange interactions between interlayer gadolinium atoms across IAEs, inducing the ferromagnetism in [Gd2C]2+·2e- electride. The substitution of paramagnetic chlorine atoms for IAEs proves the magnetic nature of quasi-atomic IAEs through a transition from ferromagnetic [Gd2C]2+·2e- to antiferromagnetic Gd2CCl caused by attenuating interatomic exchange interactions, consistent with theoretical calculations. These results confirm that quasi-atomic IAEs act as ferromagnetic elements and trigger ferromagnetic spin alignments within the antiferromagnetic [Gd2C]2+ lattice framework. These results present a broad opportunity to tailor intriguing ferromagnetism originating from quasi-atomic interstitial electrons in low-dimensional materials.

Two-dimensional semiconducting covalent organic frameworks via condensation at arylmethyl carbon atoms.

Project description:Construction of organic semiconducting materials with in-plane ?-conjugated structures and robustness through carbon-carbon bond linkages, alternatively as organic graphene analogs, is extremely desired for powerfully optoelectrical conversion. However, the poor reversibility for sp2 carbon bond forming reactions makes them unavailable for building high crystalline well-defined organic structures through a self-healing process, such as covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Here we report a scalable solution-processing approach to synthesize a family of two-dimensional (2D) COFs with trans-disubstituted C?=?C linkages via condensation reaction at arylmethyl carbon atoms on the basis of 3,5-dicyano-2,4,6-trimethylpyridine and linear/trigonal aldehyde (i.e., 4,4?-diformyl-p-terphenyl, 4,4'-diformyl-1,1'-biphenyl, or 1,3,5-tris(4-formylphenyl)benzene) monomers. Such sp2 carbon-jointed-pyridinyl frameworks, featuring crystalline honeycomb-like structures with high surface areas, enable driving two half-reactions of water splitting separately under visible light irradiation, comparable to graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) derivatives.

Structural changes during water-mediated amorphization of semiconducting two-dimensional thio-stannates.

Project description:Owing to their combined open-framework structures and semiconducting properties, two-dimensional thio-stannates show great potential for catalytic and sensing applications. One such class of crystalline materials consists of porous polymeric [Sn3S7 2-] n sheets with molecular cations embedded in-between. The compounds are denoted R-SnS-1, where R is the cation. Dependent on the cation, some R-SnS-1 thio-stannates transition into amorphous phases upon dispersion in water. Knowledge about the fundamental chemical properties of the thio-stannates, including their water stability and the nature of the amorphous products, has not yet been established. This paper presents a time-resolved study of the transition from the crystalline to the amorphous phase of two violet-light absorbing thio-stannates, i.e. AEPz-SnS-1 [AEPz = 1-(2-amino-ethyl)-piperazine] and trenH-SnS-1 [tren = tris-(2-amino-ethyl)-amine]. X-ray total scattering data and pair distribution function analysis reveal no change in the local intralayer coordination during the amorphization. However, a rapid decrease in the crystalline domain sizes upon suspension in water is demonstrated. Although scanning electron microscopy shows no significant decrease of the micrometre-sized particles, transmission electron microscopy reveals the formation of small particles (∼200-400 nm) in addition to the larger particles. The amorphization is associated with disorder of the thio-stannate nanosheet stacking. For example, an average decrease in the interlayer distance (from 19.0 to 15.6 Å) is connected to the substantial loss of the organic components as shown by elemental analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Despite the structural changes, the light absorption properties of the amorphisized R-SnS-1 compounds remain intact, which is encouraging for future water-based applications of such materials.

Intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism in a two-dimensional semiconducting metal-organic framework.

Project description:The development of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic semiconductors with room-temperature ferromagnetism is a significant challenge in materials science and is important for the development of next-generation spintronic devices. Herein, we demonstrate that a 2D semiconducting antiferromagnetic Cu-MOF can be endowed with intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetic coupling using a ligand cleavage strategy to regulate the inner magnetic interaction within the Cu dimers. Using the element-selective X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) technique, we provide unambiguous evidence for intrinsic ferromagnetism. Exhaustive structural characterizations confirm that the change of magnetic coupling is caused by the increased distance between Cu atoms within a Cu dimer. Theoretical calculations reveal that the ferromagnetic coupling is enhanced with the increased Cu-Cu distance, which depresses the hybridization between 3d orbitals of nearest Cu atoms. Our work provides an effective avenue to design and fabricate MOF-based semiconducting room-temperature ferromagnetic materials and promotes their practical applications in next-generation spintronic devices.
