3D to 2D Magnetic Ordering of Fe³⁺ Oxides Induced by Their Layered Perovskite Structure.

ABSTRACT: The antiferromagnetic behavior of Fe³⁺ oxides of composition RE_1.2Ba_1.2Ca_0.6Fe₃O₈, RE_2.2Ba_3.2Ca_2.6Fe₈O₂₁, and REBa₂Ca₂Fe₅O₁₃ (RE = Gd, Tb) is highly influenced by the type of oxygen polyhedron around the Fe³⁺ cations and their ordering, which is coupled with the layered RE/Ba/Ca arrangement within the perovskite-related structure. Determination of the magnetic structures reveals different magnetic moments associated with Fe³⁺ spins in the different oxygen polyhedra (octahedron, tetrahedron, and square pyramid). The structural aspects impact on the strength of the Fe-O-Fe superexchange interactions and, therefore, on the Néel temperature (T_N) of the compounds. The oxides present an interesting transition from three-dimensional (3D) to two-dimensional (2D) magnetic behavior above T_N. The 2D magnetic interactions are stronger within the FeO6 octahedra layers than in the FeO4 tetrahedra layers.

Orbital ordering and magnetism in layered Perovskite Ruthenate Sr2RuO4.

Project description:Local density approximation plus on-site Coulomb interaction U electronic structure calculations reveal that layered perovskite oxide Sr2RuO4 exhibits the ferromagnetic (FM) half-metallic ground state, which is nearly degenerate with the antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase with a slightly higher total energy. The nearly degenerate FM/AFM total energies provide a reasonable explanation for the experimentally observed spin-fluctuation. In addition, a dumbbell-shape 4d - t2g recombined dxz?-?dyz orbital ordering on the Ru sublattice is obtained owing to the on-site Coulomb interaction U associated with the elongated RuO6 octahedron local structure. The discovered orbital ordering is robust against the spin-orbit interaction as well as the surface terminations. Our findings unravel the on-site Coulomb correlation as the driving force of the Ru-4d orbital ordering as well as the inherent magnetic degeneracy.

Insights into cationic ordering in Re-based double perovskite oxides.

Project description:Cationic ordering in Sr2FeReO6 (SFRO) and Sr2CrReO6 (SCRO) is investigated using magnetic property measurement, atomic-scale imaging, and first-principles calculations. We find that the nature of cationic ordering strongly depends on the host oxides, although they have the same crystal symmetry and chemical formula. Firstly, adding Re is effective to enhance the cationic ordering in SFRO, but makes it worse in SCRO. Secondly, the microscopic structure of antisite (AS) defects, associated with the level of cationic ordering, is also distinguishable; the AS defects in SFRO are clustered in the form of an antiphase-boundary-like feature, while they are randomly scattered in SCRO. Interestingly, we observe that the clustered AS defects deteriorate the ferromagnetism more than the scattered defects. Our findings elevate the importance of the AS defect configuration as well as the amount of defects in terms of magnetic property.

Project description:The syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of the coordination compounds of formula [FeIII(acac2-trien)][MnIICrIII(Cl2 An)3]·(CH3CN)2 (1), [FeIII(acac2-trien)][MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]·(CH3CN)2 (2) and [GaIII(acac2-trien)][MnIICrIII(Br2An)3]·(CH3CN)2 (3) are reported. They exhibit a 2D anionic network formed by Mn(ii) and Cr(iii) ions linked through anilate ligands, while the [FeIII(acac2-trien)]+ or [GaIII(acac2-trien)]+ charge-compensating cations are placed inside the hexagonal channels of the 2D network, instead of being inserted in the interlamellar spacing. Thus, these crystals are formed by hybrid layers assembled through van der Waals interactions. The magnetic properties indicate that these compounds behave as magnets exhibiting a long-range ferrimagnetic ordering at ca. 11 K, while the inserted Fe(iii) cations remain in the high-spin state. As for graphene, these layered materials can be exfoliated in atomically-thin layers with heights down to 2 nm by using the well-known Scotch tape method. Hence, this micromechanical procedure provides a suitable way to isolate ultrathin layers of this kind of graphene related magnetic materials. Interestingly, this method can also be successfully used to exfoliate the 2D anilate-based compound [FeIII(sal2-trien)][MnIICrIII(Cl2An)3]·solv (4), which exhibits the typical alternated cation/anion layered structure. This result shows that the micromechanical exfoliation method, which has been extensively used for exfoliating van der Waals layered solids, can also be useful for exfoliating layered coordination compounds, even when they are formed by ionic components.

Origin of band gaps in 3d perovskite oxides.

Project description:With their broad range of properties, ABO3 transition metal perovskite oxides have long served as a platform for device applications and as a testing bed for different condensed matter theories. Their insulating character and structural distortions are often ascribed to dynamical electronic correlations within a universal, symmetry-conserving paradigm. This view restricts predictive theory to complex computational schemes, going beyond density functional theory (DFT). Here, we show that, if one allows symmetry-breaking energy-lowering crystal symmetry reductions and electronic instabilities within DFT, one successfully and systematically recovers the trends in the observed band gaps, magnetic moments, type of magnetic and crystallographic ground state, bond disproportionation and ligand hole effects, Mott vs. charge transfer insulator behaviors, and the amplitude of structural deformation modes including Jahn-Teller in low temperature spin-ordered and high temperature disordered paramagnetic phases. We then provide a classification of the four mechanisms of gap formation and establish DFT as a reliable base platform to study the ground state properties in complex oxides.

Composites between Perovskite and Layered Co-Based Oxides for Modification of the Thermoelectric Efficiency.

Project description:The common approach to modify the thermoelectric activity of oxides is based on the concept of selective metal substitution. Herein, we demonstrate an alternative approach based on the formation of multiphase composites, at which the individual components have distinctions in the electric and thermal conductivities. The proof-of-concept includes the formation of multiphase composites between well-defined thermoelectric Co-based oxides: Ni, Fe co-substituted perovskite, LaCo0.8Ni0.1Fe0.1O3 (LCO), and misfit layered Ca3Co4O9. The interfacial chemical and electrical properties of composites are probed with the means of SEM, PEEM/XAS, and XPS tools, as well as the magnetic susceptibility measurements. The thermoelectric power of the multiphase composites is evaluated by the dimensionless figure of merit, ZT, calculated from the independently measured electrical resistivity (ρ), Seebeck coefficient (S), and thermal conductivity (λ). It has been demonstrated that the magnitude's electric and thermal conductivities depend more significantly on the composite interfaces than the Seebeck coefficient values. As a result, the highest thermoelectric activity is observed at the composite richer on the perovskite (i.e., ZT = 0.34 at 298 K).

Effect of Cation Ordering on the Performance and Chemical Stability of Layered Double Perovskite Cathodes.

Project description:The effect of A-site cation ordering on the cathode performance and chemical stability of A-site cation ordered LaBaCo₂O5+δ and disordered La0.5Ba0.5CoO3-δ materials are reported. Symmetric half-cells with a proton-conducting BaZr0.9Y0.1O3-δ electrolyte were prepared by ceramic processing, and good chemical compatibility of the materials was demonstrated. Both A-site ordered LaBaCo₂O5+δ and A-site disordered La0.5Ba0.5CoO3-δ yield excellent cathode performance with Area Specific Resistances as low as 7.4 and 11.5 Ω·cm² at 400 °C and 0.16 and 0.32 Ω·cm² at 600 °C in 3% humidified synthetic air respectively. The oxygen vacancy concentration, electrical conductivity, basicity of cations and crystal structure were evaluated to rationalize the electrochemical performance of the two materials. The combination of high-basicity elements and high electrical conductivity as well as sufficient oxygen vacancy concentration explains the excellent performance of both LaBaCo₂O5+δ and La0.5Ba0.5CoO3-δ materials at high temperatures. At lower temperatures, oxygen-deficiency in both materials is greatly reduced, leading to decreased performance despite the high basicity and electrical conductivity. A-site cation ordering leads to a higher oxygen vacancy concentration, which explains the better performance of LaBaCo₂O5+δ. Finally, the more pronounced oxygen deficiency of the cation ordered polymorph and the lower chemical stability at reducing conditions were confirmed by coulometric titration.

Sr, Fe Co-doped Perovskite Oxides With High Performance for Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Developing efficient and earth-abundant electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is still a big challenge. Here, perovskite La0.4Sr0.6Ni0.5Fe0.5O3 nanoparticles were rationally designed and synthesized by the sol-gel method with an average size around 25 nm, and it has a remarkable intrinsically activity and stability in 1 M KOH solution. Compared with other perovskite (LaNiO3, LaFeO3, and LaNi0.5Fe0.5O3) catalysts, La0.4Sr0.6Ni0.5Fe0.5O3 exhibits superior OER performance, smaller tafel slope and lower overpotential. The high electrochemical performance of La0.4Sr0.6Ni0.5Fe0.5O3 is attributed to its optimized e g filling (~1.2), as well as the excellent conductivity. This study demonstrates co-doping process is an effective way for increasing the intrinsic catalytic activity of the perovskite.

Improper electric polarization in simple perovskite oxides with two magnetic sublattices.

Project description:ABO3 perovskite oxides with magnetic A and B cations offer a unique playground to explore interactions involving two spin sublattices and the emergent effects they may drive. Of particular interest is the possibility of having magnetically driven improper ferroelectricity, as in the much studied families of rare-earth orthoferrites and orthochromites; yet, the mechanisms behind such effects remain to be understood in detail. Here we show that the strongest polar order corresponds to collinear spin configurations and is driven by non-relativistic exchange-strictive mechanisms. Our first-principles simulations reveal the dominant magnetostructural couplings underlying the observed ferroelectricity, including a striking magnetically driven piezoelectric effect. Further, we derive phenomenological and atomistic theories that describe such couplings in a generic perovskite lattice. This allows us to predict how the observed effects can be enhanced, and even how similar ones can be obtained in other perovskite families.

In Situ Analysis Reveals the Role of 2D Perovskite in Preventing Thermal-Induced Degradation in 2D/3D Perovskite Interfaces.

Project description:Engineering 2D/3D perovskite interfaces is a common route to realizing efficient and stable perovskite solar cells. Whereas 2D perovskite's main function in trap passivation has been identified and is confirmed here, little is known about its 2D/3D interface properties under thermal stress, despite being one of the main factors that induces device instability. In this work, we monitor the response of two typical 2D/3D interfaces under a thermal cycle by in situ X-ray scattering. We reveal that upon heating, the 2D crystalline structure undergoes a dynamical transformation into a mixed 2D/3D phase, keeping the 3D bulk underneath intact. The observed 3D bulk degradation into lead iodide is blocked, revealing the paramount role of 2D perovskite in engineering stable device interfaces.

Self-trapped state enabled filterless narrowband photodetections in 2D layered perovskite single crystals.

Project description:Filterless narrowband photodetectors can realize color discrimination without filter or bulk spectrometer, thus greatly reducing the system volume and cost for many imaging applications. Charge collection narrowing has been demonstrated to be a successful approach to achieve filterless narrowband photodetections; nevertheless, it sacrifices the sensitivity of the photodetectors. Here we show a highly tunable narrowband photodetector based on two-dimensional perovskite single crystals with high external quantum efficiency (200%), ultralow dark current (10-12 A), and high on-off ratio (103). The spectral response of the narrowband photodetectors can be continuously tuned from red to blue with all full-width at half-maximum < 60 nm and especially < 20 nm in blue wavelength range. The excellent performance can be ascribed to self-trapped states within bandgap and extremely low electrical conductivity in the out-of-plane direction. Our findings open the exciting potential of 2D perovskites for next-generation optoelectronics.
