Defect-induced ferromagnetism in a S = 1/2 quasi-one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain compound.

ABSTRACT: We present evidences that defects in the spin S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain (HAFC) compound can lead to ferromagnetism by studying the magnetic and thermal properties of the newly discovered quasi-one-dimensional (1D) metal-organic framework [CH₃NH₃][Cu(HCOO)₃] (MACuF). Our findings suggest that the long-range ferromagnetic order at 3.7 K can be attributed to Cu²⁺ ions from the 2D networks constructed by the endpoints of the broken chains. In such a case, the intrinsic magnetism can emerge in this quasi-1D Heisenberg chain system at the background of the short-range antiferromagnetism. This unusual ferromagnetism found in HAFC not only enriches magnetic features in the low-dimensional systems, but helps to understand some of the exotic magnetic phenomena in other real quasi-1D magnetic materials.

Polar Structure and Two-Dimensional Heisenberg Antiferromagnetic Properties of Arylamine-Based Manganese Chloride Layered Organic-Inorganic Perovskites.

Project description:The breaking of inversion symmetry can enhance the multifunctional properties of layered hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. However, the mechanisms by which inversion symmetry can be broken are not well-understood. Here, we study a series of MnCl4-based 2D perovskites with arylamine cations, namely, (C6H5CxH2xNH3)2MnCl4 (x = 0, 1, 2, 3), for which the x = 0, 1, and 3 members are reported for the first time. The compounds with x = 1, 2, and 3 adopt polar crystal structures to well above room temperature. We argue that the inversion symmetry breaking in these compounds is related to the rotational degree of freedom of the organic cations, which determine the hydrogen bonding pattern that links the organic and inorganic layers. We show that the tilting of MnCl6 octahedra is not the primary mechanism involved in inversion symmetry breaking in these materials. All four compounds show 2D Heisenberg antiferromagnetic behavior. A ferromagnetic component develops in each case below the long-range magnetic ordering temperature of ∼42-46 K due to spin canting.

Defect-mediated ferromagnetism in correlated two-dimensional transition metal phosphorus trisulfides.

Project description:Controlling the magnetic spin states of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials with strong electronic or magnetic correlation is important for spintronic applications but challenging. Crystal defects that are often present in 2D materials such as transition metal phosphorus trisulfides (MPS3) could influence their physical properties. Here, we report the effect of sulfur vacancies on the magnetic exchange interactions and spin ordering of few-layered vdW magnetic Ni1−xCoxPS3 nanosheets. Magnetic and structural characterization in corroboration with theoretical calculations reveal that sulfur vacancies effectively suppress the strong intralayer antiferromagnetic correlation, giving rise to a weak ferromagnetic ground state in Ni1−xCoxPS3 nanosheets. Notably, the magnetic field required to tune this ferromagnetic state (<300 Oe) is much lower than the value needed to tune a typical vdW antiferromagnet (> several thousand oersted). These findings provide a previously unexplored route for controlling competing correlated states and magnetic ordering by defect engineering in vdW materials.

Strong band renormalization and emergent ferromagnetism induced by electron-antiferromagnetic-magnon coupling.

Project description:The interactions between electrons and antiferromagnetic magnons (AFMMs) are important for a large class of correlated materials. For example, they are the most plausible pairing glues in high-temperature superconductors, such as cuprates and iron-based superconductors. However, unlike electron-phonon interactions (EPIs), clear-cut observations regarding how electron-AFMM interactions (EAIs) affect the band structure are still lacking. Consequently, critical information on the EAIs, such as its strength and doping dependence, remains elusive. Here we directly observe that EAIs induce a kink structure in the band dispersion of Ba1-xKxMn2As2, and subsequently unveil several key characteristics of EAIs. We found that the coupling constant of EAIs can be as large as 5.4, and it shows strong doping dependence and temperature dependence, all in stark contrast to the behaviors of EPIs. The colossal renormalization of electron bands by EAIs enhances the density of states at Fermi energy, which is likely driving the emergent ferromagnetic state in Ba1-xKxMn2As2 through a Stoner-like mechanism with mixed itinerant-local character. Our results expand the current knowledge of EAIs, which may facilitate the further understanding of many correlated materials where EAIs play a critical role.

Robust ferromagnetism carried by antiferromagnetic domain walls.

Project description:Ferroic materials, such as ferromagnetic or ferroelectric materials, have been utilized as recording media for memory devices. A recent trend for downsizing, however, requires an alternative, because ferroic orders tend to become unstable for miniaturization. The domain wall nanoelectronics is a new developing direction for next-generation devices, in which atomic domain walls, rather than conventional, large domains themselves, are the active elements. Here we show that atomically thin magnetic domain walls generated in the antiferromagnetic insulator Cd2Os2O7 carry unusual ferromagnetic moments perpendicular to the wall as well as electron conductivity: the ferromagnetic moments are easily polarized even by a tiny field of 1 mT at high temperature, while, once cooled down, they are surprisingly robust even in an inverse magnetic field of 7 T. Thus, the magnetic domain walls could serve as a new-type of microscopic, switchable and electrically readable magnetic medium which is potentially important for future applications in the domain wall nanoelectronics.

On-surface synthesis of Heisenberg spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic molecular chains.

Project description:Magnetic exchange interactions between localized spins in π-electron magnetism of carbon-based nanostructures have attracted tremendous interest due to their great potential for nano spintronics. Unique many-body quantum characteristics, such as gaped excitations, strong spin entanglement, and fractionalized excitations, have been demonstrated, but the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model with a single antiferromagnetic coupling J value remained unexplored. Here, we realized the entangled antiferromagnetic quantum spin-1/2 Heisenberg model with diazahexabenzocoronene oligomers (up to 7 units) on Au(111). Extensive low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy measurements and density functional theory and many-body calculations show that even-numbered spin chains host a collective state with gapped excitations, while odd-numbered chains feature a Kondo excitation. We found that a given antiferromagnetic coupling J value between first neighbors in the entangled quantum states is responsible for the quantum phenomena, strongly relating to their parities of the chain. The tunable molecular building blocks act as an ideal platform for the experimental realization of topological spin lattices.

Coexistence of Ferroelectricity and Ferromagnetism in Fullerene-Based One-Dimensional Chains.

Project description:One-dimensional (1D) magnetoelectric multiferroics are promising multifunctional materials for miniaturized sensors, actuators, and memories. However, 1D materials with both ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism are quite rare. Herein, using first-principles calculations, a series of fullerene-based 1D chains, namely U2 C@C80 -M (M = Cr, Mn, Mo, and Ru) 1D chains with both ferroelectric (FE) and ferromagnetic (FM) properties is designed. Compared to individual U2 C@Ih (7)-C80 , the spontaneous polarization (Ps) in 1D chains is enhanced by about two to four times owing to the interaction between U2 C@Ih (7)-C80 fullerene and M (M = Cr, Mn, Mo, and Ru) atoms. Meanwhile, the introduction of transition metal atoms dopes electrons into U's 5f orbitals, leading to numerous intriguing magnetic properties, such as U2 C@C80 -Cr and U2 C@C80 -Mo as 1D ferromagnetic semiconductors, U2 C@C80 -Ru as 1D ferrimagnetic (FiM) semiconductor, and U2 C@C80 -Mn as 1D antiferromagnetic (AFM) semiconductor. Excitingly, it is found that magnetic ordering and electrical polarization can be modulated independently by linking different transition metal atoms. These findings not only broaden the range of 1D multiferroic materials, but also provide promising candidates for novel electronic and spintronic applications.

Electrical analogue of one-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional Aubry-Andre-Harper lattices.

Project description:This work explores the potential for achieving correlated disorder in electrical circuits by utilizing reactive elements. By establishing a direct correspondence between the tight-binding Hamiltonian and the admittance matrix of the circuit, a novel approach is presented. The localization phenomena within the circuit are investigated through the analysis of the two-port impedance. To introduce correlated disorder, the Aubry-André-Harper (AAH) model is employed. Both one-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional AAH structures are examined and effectively mapped to their tight-binding counterparts. Notably, transitions from a high-conducting phase to a low-conducting phase are observed in these circuits, highlighting the impact of correlated disorder.

A disorder-enhanced quasi-one-dimensional superconductor.

Project description:A powerful approach to analysing quantum systems with dimensionality d>1 involves adding a weak coupling to an array of one-dimensional (1D) chains. The resultant quasi-1D (q1D) systems can exhibit long-range order at low temperature, but are heavily influenced by interactions and disorder due to their large anisotropies. Real q1D materials are therefore ideal candidates not only to provoke, test and refine theories of strongly correlated matter, but also to search for unusual emergent electronic phases. Here we report the unprecedented enhancement of a superconducting instability by disorder in single crystals of Na2-δMo6Se6, a q1D superconductor comprising MoSe chains weakly coupled by Na atoms. We argue that disorder-enhanced Coulomb pair-breaking (which usually destroys superconductivity) may be averted due to a screened long-range Coulomb repulsion intrinsic to disordered q1D materials. Our results illustrate the capability of disorder to tune and induce new correlated electron physics in low-dimensional materials.

Induced high-temperature ferromagnetism by structural phase transitions in strained antiferromagnetic γ-Fe50Mn50 epitaxial films.

Project description:Strain effects in epitaxial films can substantially enhance individual functional properties or induce properties which do not exist in corresponding bulk materials. The bcc α-Fe50Mn50 films are a ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature between 650 K and 750 K, which do not exist in nature can be manipulated through the tensile strain. In this study, γ-Fe50Mn50 epitaxial films grown on GaAs(001) using molecular beam epitaxy are found to structural transition from the face-centered-cubic (fcc, a = 0.327 nm) γ-phase to the body-centered-cubic (bcc, a = 0.889 nm) α-phase. For α-Fe50Mn50 epitaxial films, ferromagnetism is accompanied by structural phase transition due to the tensile strain induced by the differences of the thermal expansion between the film and the substrate. Moreover, by realizing in epitaxial films with fcc structure a tensile strain state, phase transitions were introduced Fe-Mn alloy system with bcc structure. These findings are of fundamental importance to understanding the mechanism of phase transition and properties of epitaxial CuAu-I type antiferromagnetic alloy thin films under strain.

Quasi-one-dimensional hydrogen bonding in nanoconfined ice.

Project description:The Bernal-Fowler ice rules stipulate that each water molecule in an ice crystal should form four hydrogen bonds. However, in extreme or constrained conditions, the arrangement of water molecules deviates from conventional ice rules, resulting in properties significantly different from bulk water. In this study, we employ machine learning-driven first-principles simulations to identify a new stabilization mechanism in nanoconfined ice phases. Instead of forming four hydrogen bonds, nanoconfined crystalline ice can form a quasi-one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded structure that exhibits only two hydrogen bonds per water molecule. These structures consist of strongly hydrogen-bonded linear chains of water molecules that zig-zag along one dimension, stabilized by van der Waals interactions that stack these chains along the other dimension. The unusual interplay of hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions in nanoconfined ice results in atypical proton behavior such as potential ferroelectric behavior, low dielectric response, and long-range proton dynamics.
