Influence of Ca-deficiency on the magneto-transport properties in La(0.8)Ca(0.2)MnO(3) perovskite and estimation of magnetic entropy change.

ABSTRACT: La(0.8)Ca(0.2 - x)□(x)MnO(3) (x = 0.00, 0.10, and 0.20) perovskite was prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction and annealed at 1473 K. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy shown the existence of a secondary phase attributed to the unreacted Mn(3)O(4) oxide. The magneto transport properties have been investigated based on the temperature dependence of the resistivity ρ(T) measurements under several applied magnetic fields. We note that the La(0.8)Ca(0.2)MnO(3) (x = 0.00) sample has a classical metal-insulator transition at T(ρ). But we have observed that the lacunars samples (x = 0.10 and 0.20) include a metallic and insulator behavior simultaneously below T(ρ) and the resistivity is dominated by tunneling through the barriers associated with the insulating phase. In other words, the calcium deficiency favors the enhancement of the insulator behavior. The electrical resistivity is fitted with the phenomenological percolation model, which is based on the phase segregation of ferromagnetic metallic clusters and paramagnetic insulating regions. Furthermore, we found that the estimated results are in good agreement with experimental data. Above all, the resistivity dependence on the temperature and magnetic field data is used to deduce the magnetic entropy change. We have found that these magnetic entropy change values are similar to those calculated in our previous work from the magnetic measurements. Finally, we have found an excellent estimation of the magnetic entropy change based on the Landau theory.

Surface spin-glass, large surface anisotropy, and depression of magnetocaloric effect in La(0.8)Ca(0.2)MnO(3) nanoparticles.

Project description:The surface magnetic behavior of La(0.8)Ca(0.2)MnO(3) nanoparticles was investigated. We observed irreversibility in high magnetic field. The surface spin-glass behavior as well as the high-field irreversibility is suppressed by increasing particle size while the freezing temperature T(F) does not change with particle size. The enhanced coercivity has been observed in the particles and we attributed it to the large surface anisotropy. We have disclosed a clear relationship between the particle size, the thickness of the shell, and the saturation magnetization of the particles. The large reduction of the saturation magnetization of the samples is found to be induced by the increase of nonmagnetic surface large since the thickness of the spin-disordered surface layer increases with a decrease in the particle size. Due to the reduction of the magnetization, the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) has been reduced by the decreased particle size since the nonmagnetic surface contributes little to the MCE. Based on the core-shell structure, large relative cooling powers RCP(s) of 180 J/kg and 471 J/kg were predicted for a field change of 2.0 T and 4.5 T, respectively, in the small particles with thin spin-glass layer.

AMnO3 (A?=?Sr, La, Ca, Y) Perovskite Oxides as Oxygen Reduction Electrocatalysts.

Project description:A series of perovskite-type manganites AMnO3 (A?=?Sr, La, Ca and Y) particles were investigated as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction. AMnO3 materials were synthesized by means of an ionic-liquid method, yielding phase pure particles at different temperatures. Depending on the calcination temperature, particles with mean diameter between 20 and 150 nm were obtained. Bulk versus surface composition and structure are probed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and extended X-ray absorption fine structure. Electrochemical studies were performed on composite carbon-oxide electrodes in alkaline environment. The electrocatalytic activity is discussed in terms of the effective Mn oxidation state, A:Mn particle surface ratio and the Mn-O distances.

Dislocations Accelerate Oxygen Ion Diffusion in La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 Epitaxial Thin Films.

Project description:Revealing whether dislocations accelerate oxygen ion transport is important for providing abilities in tuning the ionic conductivity of ceramic materials. In this study, we report how dislocations affect oxygen ion diffusion in Sr-doped LaMnO3 (LSM), a model perovskite oxide that serves in energy conversion technologies. LSM epitaxial thin films with thicknesses ranging from 10 nm to more than 100 nm were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on single-crystal LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 substrates. The lattice mismatch between the film and substrates induces compressive or tensile in-plane strain in the LSM layers. This lattice strain is partially reduced by dislocations, especially in the LSM films on LaAlO3. Oxygen isotope exchange measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry revealed the existence of at least two very different diffusion coefficients in the LSM films on LaAlO3. The diffusion profiles can be quantitatively explained by the existence of fast oxygen ion diffusion along threading dislocations that is faster by up to 3 orders of magnitude compared to that in LSM bulk.

Magnetocapacitance in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 multiferroic heterostructures.

Project description:Measurements of the magnetocapacitance effect in epitaxial La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructures have been performed using a quasi-static method. Through capacitance-voltage measurements carried out under variable magnetic field it has been found that the magneto-capacitance depends on the orientation of the ferroelectric polarization. The value of magneto-capacitance can be as high as 1% in the voltage range near the ferroelectric coercive field. This has been attributed to a variation of the apparent built-in voltage of the PZT-LSMO Schottky barriers on applied magnetic field.

Multiferroic La0.2Pb0.7Fe12O19 ceramics: Ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism and colossal magneto-capacitance effect.

Project description:The mutual control of the electric and magnetic properties of a multiferroic solid is of fundamental and great technological importance. In this article, the synthesis procedure of La0.2Pb0.7Fe12O19 ceramics was briefly described and the data acquired for the materials characterization is presented. This data article is related to the research article-Acta Mater. 2016, 121, 144 (j.actamat.2016.08.083). Electric polarization hysteresis loop and I-V curve, which help to confirm the ferroelectricity of La0.2Pb0.7Fe12O19 ceramics, were presented. Strong magnetic polarization data was also presented. The great variation of the dielectric constants along with the magnetic field has been presented which helped to demonstrat the giant magnetocapacitance of La0.2Pb0.7Fe12O19. All the datasets were collected at room temperature. Large ferroelectricity, strong magnetism and colossal magneto-capacitance effect have been all realized in one single phase La0.2Pb0.7Fe12O19 at room temperature.

Stabilization by Configurational Entropy of the Cu(II) Active Site during CO Oxidation on Mg0.2Co0.2Ni0.2Cu0.2Zn0.2O.

Project description:The mechanisms of CO oxidation on the Mg0.2Co0.2Ni0.2Cu0.2Zn0.2O high-entropy oxide were studied by means of operando soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy. We found that Cu is the active metal and that Cu(II) can be rapidly reduced to Cu(I) by CO when the temperature is higher than 130 °C. Co and Ni do not have any role in this respect. The Cu(II) oxidation state can be easily but slowly recovered by treatment of the sample with O2 at ca. 250 °C. However, it should be noted that CuO is readily and irreversibly reduced to Cu(I) when it is treated with CO at T > 100 °C. Thus, the main conclusion of this work is that the high configurational entropy of Mg0.2Co0.2Ni0.2Cu0.2Zn0.2O stabilizes the rock-salt structure and permits the oxidation/reduction of Cu to be reversible, thus permitting the catalytic cycle to take place.

Redetermination of the distorted perovskite Nd(0.53)Sr(0.47)MnO(3).

Project description:Neodymium strontium manganese oxide with ideal composition Nd(0.5)Sr(0.5)MnO(3) was reported to have two different structure models. In one model, the x coordinate of an O atom is at x > 1/2, while in the other model the x-coordinate of this atom is at x < 1/2. Difference-density maps around this O atom obtained from the current redetermination clearly show that the structure with the O atom at x < 1/2 result in a more satisfactory model than that with x > 1/2. The title compound with a refined composition of Nd(0.53?(5))Sr(0.47?(5))MnO(3) is a distorted perovskite-type structure with site symmetries 2mm for the statistically occupied (Nd, Sr) site and for the above-mentioned O atom, .2/m. for the Mn atom and ..2 for a second O-atom site. In contrast to previous studies, the displacement factors for all atoms were refined anisotropically.

Oxygen Nonstoichiometry and Valence State of Manganese in La1-x Ca x MnO3+δ.

Project description:Perovskites of the ABO3 type, such as LaMnO3, can be used as air electrodes in solid oxide fuel cells and electrolyzers. Their properties can be tuned by A- and B-site substitutions. The influence of La substitution by Ca on the oxygen nonstoichiometry has been investigated frequently, but the results depend highly on the synthesis and atmospheric conditions. In this work, a series of La1-x Ca x MnO3+δ (x = 0-0.5) was synthesized using conventional solid-state synthesis under an air atmosphere. The structures of the materials were studied in detail with powder X-ray diffraction. The initial oxygen nonstoichiometries were determined using thermogravimetric reduction. The samples were subsequently analyzed in terms of defect chemistry in dependence of temperature, atmosphere, and Ca content via thermogravimetric analysis. The changes in the manganese charge states were investigated by X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy experiments. The influence of intrinsic and extrinsic effects on the Mn-valence state of the differently Ca-substituted samples as calculated from thermogravimetric analysis and as determined directly from X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy is presented.

Direct observation of electronic-liquid-crystal phase transitions and their microscopic origin in La1/3Ca2/3MnO3.

Project description:The ground-state electronic order in doped manganites is frequently associated with a lattice modulation, contributing to their many interesting properties. However, measuring the thermal evolution of the lattice superstructure with reciprocal-space probes alone can lead to ambiguous results with competing interpretations. Here we provide direct observations of the evolution of the superstructure in La1/3Ca2/3MnO3 in real space, as well as reciprocal space, using transmission electron microscopic (TEM) techniques. We show that the transitions are the consequence of a proliferation of dislocations plus electronic phase separation. The resulting states are well described by the symmetries associated with electronic-liquid-crystal (ELC) phases. Moreover, our results resolve the long-standing controversy over the origin of the incommensurate superstructure and suggest a new structural model that is consistent with recent theoretical calculations.
