Spin-flip-driven reversal of the angle-dependent magnetic torque in layered antiferromagnetic Ca_0.9Sr_0.1Co₂As₂.

ABSTRACT: Spin-flip transition can occur in antiferromagnets with strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy, inducing a significant modification of the anisotropic magnetic properties through phase conversion. In contrast to ferromagnets, antiferromagnets have not been thoroughly examined in terms of their anisotropic characteristics. We investigated the magnetic-field and angle-dependent magnetic properties of Ising-type antiferromagnetic Ca_0.9Sr_0.1Co₂As₂ using magnetic torque measurements. An A-type antiferromagnetic order emerges below T_N = 97 K aligned along the magnetically easy c-axis. The reversal of the angle-dependent torque across the spin-flip transition was observed, revealing the strong influence of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy on the magnetic properties. Based on the easy-axis anisotropic spin model, we theoretically generated torque data and identified specific spin configurations associated with the magnetic torque variation in the presence of a rotating magnetic field. Our results enrich fundamental and applied research on diverse antiferromagnetic compounds by shedding new light on the distinct magnetic features of the Ising-type antiferromagnet.

Aliovalent-doped sodium chromium oxide (Na0.9Cr0.9Sn0.1O2 and Na0.8Cr0.9Sb0.1O2) for sodium-ion battery cathodes with high-voltage characteristics.

Project description:NaCrO2 with high rate-capability is an attractive cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). However, the amount of reversibly extractable Na+ ions is restricted by half, which results in relatively low energy density for practical NIB cathodes. Herein, we describe aliovalent-doped O3-Na0.9[Cr0.9Sn0.1]O2 (NCSnO) and O3-Na0.8[Cr0.9Sb0.1]O2 (NCSbO), both of which show high-voltage characteristics that translate to an increase in energy density. In contrast to NaCrO2, NCSnO and NCSbO can be reversibly charged to 3.80 and 3.95 V, respectively, delivering 0.5 Na+ along with Cr3+/4+ redox alone. The reversible chargeability to Na0.4[Cr0.9Sn0.1]O2 and Na0.3[Cr0.9Sb0.1]O2 is not associated with the suppression of Cr6+ formation. Both compounds show concentrations of Cr6+ that are higher than that of Na0.3CrO2, with an absence of O3' phases. This implies that aliovalent-doping contributes to a suppression of the Cr6+ migration into tetrahedral sites in the interslab space, which reduces the possibility of irreversible comproportionation. NCSnO and NCSbO deliver capacities comparable to that of NaCrO2, but show a higher average discharge voltage (2.94 V for NaCrO2; 3.14 V for NCSnO; 3.21 V for NCSbO), which leads to a noticeable increase in energy densities. The high-voltage characteristics of NCSnO and NCSbO are also validated via density-functional-theory calculations.

Lu-atom-ordered oxonitridoaluminosilicate Ba0.9Ce0.1LuAl0.2Si3.8N6.9O0.1.

Project description:A single crystal of Ba0.9Ce0.1LuAl0.2Si3.8N6.9O0.1 (barium cerium lutetium aluminosilicate nitride oxide) was obtained by heating a mixed powder of Ba3N2, Si3N4, Al, Lu2O3, and CeO2 at 2173 K for 1 h under N2 gas at 0.85 MPa. X-ray single-crystal structure analysis revealed that the title oxynitride is hexa-gonal (lattice constants: a = 6.0378 (5) Å, c = 9.8133 (9) Å; space group: P63 mc) and isostructural with BaYbSi4N7. (Ba,Ce) and Lu atoms occupy twelvefold and sixfold coordination sites, respectively.

Ferromagnetic-like behavior of Bi0.9La0.1FeO3-KBr nanocomposites.

Project description:We studied magnetostatic response of the Bi0.9La0.1FeO3- KBr composites (BLFO-KBr) consisting of nanosized (≈100 nm) ferrite Bi0.9La0.1FeO3 (BLFO) conjugated with fine grinded ionic conducting KBr. When the fraction of KBr is rather small (less than 15 wt%) the magnetic response of the composite is very weak and similar to that observed for the BLFO (pure KBr matrix without Bi1-xLaxFeO3 has no magnetic response as anticipated). However, when the fraction of KBr increases above 15%, the magnetic response of the composite changes substantially and the field dependence of magnetization reveals ferromagnetic-like hysteresis loop with a remanent magnetization about 0.14 emu/g and coercive field about 1.8 Tesla (at room temperature). Nothing similar to the ferromagnetic-like hysteresis loop can be observed in Bi1-zLazFeO3 ceramics with z ≤ 0.15, which magnetization quasi-linearly increases with magnetic field. Different physical mechanisms were considered to explain the unusual experimental results for BLFO-KBr nanocomposites, but only those among them, which are highly sensitive to the interaction of antiferromagnetic Bi0.9La0.1FeO3 with ionic conductor KBr, can be relevant.

Evaluation of High-Temperature Hydrogen Sensors Based on BaCe0.6Zr0.3Y0.1O3-? and Sr(Ce0.9Zr0.1)0.95Yb0.05O3-? Perovskites for Industrial Applications.

Project description:In many industrial fields, there is a need to design and characterize on-line and on-board hydrogen monitoring tools able to operate under extreme conditions. One of these applications is in future nuclear fusion reactors, which will use hydrogen isotopes as a plasma fuel. In this context, the measurement of the concentration of these hydrogen isotopes will be of interest to ensure the correct operating conditions for such reactors. Hydrogen sensors based on solid-state electrolytes will be the first step in the development of new analytical tools able to quantify deuterium and tritium in aggressive environments. In the present work, amperometric hydrogen sensors were constructed and evaluated using two solid-state electrolytes, BaCe0.6Zr0.3Y0.1O3-? and Sr(Ce0.9Zr0.1)0.95Yb0.05O3-?. Prototype sensors were built in order to study their sensitivity in on-line measurements. The experiments were performed in a reactor with a hydrogen-controlled environment. The sensors were evaluated at 500 and 600 °C in amperometric mode by applying 2 and 4 V voltages between electrodes. Both sensors showed increases in sensitivity when the temperature or voltage were increased.

Plasma engraved Bi0.1(Ba0.5Sr0.5)0.9Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ perovskite for highly active and durable oxygen evolution.

Project description:The development of highly active and cost-effective catalysts based on noble metal free oxygen electro-catalysis is critical to energy storage and conversion devices. Herein, we highlight a plasma-treated Bi0.1(Ba0.5Sr0.5)0.9Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ perovskite (denoted as P-Bi0.1BSCF) as a promising catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media. H2/Ar plasma engraving could significantly increase electrochemically active O22-/O- concentration and tune the electronic structure of Co ions efficiently, and consequently tailor the intrinsic electrocatalytic ability for OER. Of note, P-Bi0.1BSCF, with unique crystalline core/amorphous shell structure, exhibits an enhanced intrinsic OER activity and higher stability than the noble metal IrO2 catalyst, which outperforms most of the reported perovskite catalysts. The present work provides new insights into exploring efficient catalysts for OER, and it suggests that, in addition to the extensively applied for surface treatment of various catalysts such as carbons and metal oxides, the plasma engraved perovskite materials also exhibits great potential as precious metal-free catalysts.

Atomic Layer Deposition of GdCoO3 and Gd0.9Ca0.1CoO3.

Project description:Thin films of the catalytically interesting ternary and quaternary perovskites GdCoO3 and Gd0.9Ca0.1CoO3 are fabricated by atomic layer deposition using metal ?-diketonates and ozone as precursors. The resulting thin films are amorphous as deposited and become single-oriented crystalline on LaAlO3(100) and YAlO3(100/010) after post-annealing at 650 °C in air. The crystal orientations of the films are tunable by choice and the orientation of the substrate, mitigated through the interface via solid face epitaxy upon annealing. The films exhibit no sign of Co2+. Additionally, high-aspect-ratio Si(100) substrates were used to document the suitability of the developed process for the preparation of coatings on more complex, high-surface-area structures. We believe that coatings of GdCoO3 and Gd1-xCaxCoO3 may find applications within oxidation catalysis.

Hydration of Proton-conducting BaCe0.9Y0.1O3-δ by Decoupled Mass Transport.

Project description:Mass relaxation profile of a perovskite-type oxide, BaCe0.9Y0.1O3-δ, was studied to understand decoupled diffusion of oxygen and hydrogen species during hydration/dehydration. The mass relaxation measurements are performed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under various humidity conditions (Dry, -3.0 ≤ log(pH2O/atm) ≤ -1.6) at a constant oxygen partial pressure (log(pO2/atm) = -1.00 ± 0.01). The decoupled ions participated in hydration/dehydration reactions were proven to be at different ratios from the result introduced by the 8R m function. The enthalpy and entropy of non-stoichiometric hydration reaction, which considers each ratio of charge-carrier species, were -144.7 ± 3.7 kJ/mol and -147.8 ± 3.2 J/mol · K, respectively.

Electro-opto-mechano driven reversible multi-state memory devices based on photocurrent in Bi0.9Eu0.1FeO3/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3/PMN-PT heterostructures.

Project description:A single device with extensive new functionality is highly attractive for the increasing demands for complex and multifunctional optoelectronics. Multi-field coupling has been drawing considerable attention because it leads to materials that can be simultaneously operated under several external stimuli (e.g. magnetic field, electric field, electric current, light, strain, etc.), which allows each unit to store multiple bits of information and thus enhance the memory density. In this work, we report an electro-opto-mechano-driven reversible multi-state memory device based on photocurrent in Bi0.9Eu0.1FeO3 (BEFO)/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO)/0.7Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.3PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) heterostructures. It is found that the short-circuit current density (J sc) can be switched by the variation of the potential barrier height and depletion region width at the Pt/BEFO interface modulated by light illumination, external strain, and ferroelectric polarization reversal. This work opens up pathways toward the emergence of novel device design features with dynamic control for developing high-performance electric-optical-mechanism integrated devices based on the BiFeO3-based heterostructures.

Creating Ferromagnetic Insulating La0.9Ba0.1MnO3 Thin Films by Tuning Lateral Coherence Length.

Project description:In this work, heteroepitaxial vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) La0.9Ba0.1MnO3 (LBMO)-CeO2 films are engineered to produce ferromagnetic insulating (FMI) films. From combined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy, the elimination of the insulator-metal (I-M) transition is shown to result from the creation of very small lateral coherence lengths (with the corresponding lateral size ∼ 3 nm (∼7 u.c.)) in the LBMO matrix, achieved by engineering a high density of CeO2 nanocolumns in the matrix. The small lateral coherence length leads to a shift in the valence band maximum and reduction of the double exchange (DE) coupling. There is no "dead layer" effect at the smallest achieved lateral coherence length of ∼3 nm. The FMI behavior obtained by lateral dimensional tuning is independent of substrate interactions, thus intrinsic to the film itself and hence not related to film thickness. The unique properties of VAN films give the possibility for multilayer spintronic devices that can be made without interface degradation effects between the layers.

Textured Sr?Sc0.1Nb0.1Co1.5Fe0.3O6-2? Thin Film Cathodes for IT-SOFCs.

Project description:Reducing the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) to intermediate (650?850 °C) or even lower levels (400?650 °C) is an important practical requirement. However, the main obstacle to lowering the operating temperature is the poor oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity on the cathode side and, therefore, it is essential to explore cathode materials with good ORR activity in these temperature ranges. In this work, we investigated the possibility of using Sr?Sc0.1Nb0.1Co1.5Fe0.3O6-2? (SSNCF) as a suitable intermediate temperature cathode material. SSNCF thin films with different orientations were prepared using the pulsed laser deposition technique, and the relationship of the surface chemical states and ORR activity was discussed in terms of crystallographic orientation. The results showed that the SSNCF/YSZ grown along the [110] direction exhibited superior ORR activity compared to the SSNCF/SDC/YSZ thin film electrode grown along the [100] direction. This was explained by the variation in the Sr-surface enrichment and cobalt ion oxidation state using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy.
