Effect of divalent Ba cation substitution with Sr on coupled 'multiglass' state in the magnetoelectric multiferroic compound Ba3NbFe3Si2O14.

ABSTRACT: (Ba/Sr)3NbFe3Si2O14 is a magneto-electric multiferroic with an incommensurate antiferromagnetic spiral magnetic structure which induces electric polarization at 26 K. Structural studies show that both the compounds have similar crystal structure down to 6 K. They exhibit a transition, TN at 26 K and 25 K respectively, as indicated by heat capacity and magnetization, into an antiferromagnetic state. Although Ba and Sr are isovalent, they exhibit very different static and dynamic magnetic behaviors. The Ba-compound exhibits a glassy behavior with critical slowing dynamics with a freezing temperature of ~35 K and a critical exponent of 3.9, a value close to the 3-D Ising model above TN, in addition to the invariant transition into an antiferromagnetic state. The Sr-compound however does not exhibit any dispersive behavior except for the invariant transition at TN. The dielectric constant reflects magnetic behavior of the two compounds: the Ba-compound has two distinct dispersive peaks while the Sr-compound has a single dispersive peak. Thus the compounds exhibit coupled 'multiglass' behavior. The difference in magnetic properties between the two compounds is found to be due to modifications to super exchange path angle and length as well as anti-site defects which stabilize either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic interactions.

Interfacial charge-mediated non-volatile magnetoelectric coupling in Co₀.₃Fe₀.₇/Ba₀.₆Sr₀.₄TiO₃/Nb:SrTiO₃ multiferroic heterostructures.

Project description:The central challenge in realizing non-volatile, E-field manipulation of magnetism lies in finding an energy efficient means to switch between the distinct magnetic states in a stable and reversible manner. In this work, we demonstrate using electrical polarization-induced charge screening to change the ground state of magnetic ordering in order to non-volatilely tune magnetic properties in ultra-thin Co₀.₃Fe₀.₇/Ba₀.₆Sr₀.₄TiO₃/Nb:SrTiO₃ (001) multiferroic heterostructures. A robust, voltage-induced, non-volatile manipulation of out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy up to 40 Oe is demonstrated and confirmed by ferromagnetic resonance measurements. This discovery provides a framework for realizing charge-sensitive order parameter tuning in ultra-thin multiferroic heterostructures, demonstrating great potential for delivering compact, lightweight, reconfigurable, and energy-efficient electronic devices.

A new (Ba, Ca) (Ti, Zr)O3 based multiferroic composite with large magnetoelectric effect.

Project description:The lead-free ferroelectric 0.5Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 - 0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (BCZT) is a promising component for multifunctional multiferroics due to its excellent room temperature piezoelectric properties. Having a composition close to the polymorphic phase boundary between the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases, it deserves a case study for analysis of its potential for modern electronics applications. To obtain magnetoelectric coupling, the piezoelectric phase needs to be combined with a suitable magnetostrictive phase. In the current article, we report on the synthesis, dielectric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric characterization of a new magnetoelectric multiferroic composite consisting of BCZT as a piezoelectric phase and CoFe2O4 (CFO) as the magnetostrictive phase. We found that this material is multiferroic at room temperature and manifests a magnetoelectric effect larger than that of BaTiO3 -CoFe2O4 bulk composites with similar content of the ferrite phase.

Magnetoelectric Response in Multiferroic SrFe12O19 Ceramics.

Project description:We report here realization of ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism and magnetocapacitance effect in singleSrFe12O19ceramic at room temperature. The ceramics demonstrate a saturated polarization hysteresis loop, two nonlinear I-V peaks and large anomaly of dielectric constant near Curie temperature, which confirm the intrinsic ferroelectricity of SrFe12O19 ceramicswith subsequent heat-treatment in O2atmosphere. The remnant polarization of the SrFe12O19 ceramic is estimated to be 103?C/cm2. The ceramic also exhibits strong ferromagnetic characterization, the coercive field and remnant magnetic moment are 6192Oe and 35.8emu/g, respectively. Subsequent annealing SrFe12O19 ceramics in O2 plays a key role on revealing its intrinsic ferroelectricity and improving the ferromagnetism through transforming Fe2+ into Fe3+. By applying a magnetic field, the capacitance demonstrates remarkable change along with B field, the maximum rate of change in ? (??(B)/?(0)) is 1174%, which reflects a giant magnetocapacitance effect in SrFe12O19. XPS and molecular magnetic moment measurements confirmed the transformation of Fe2+ into Fe3+ and removal of oxygen vacancies upon O2 heat treatment. These combined functional responses in SrFe12O19 ceramics opens substantial possibilities for applications in novel electric devices.

Limits of Cation Solubility in AMg₂Sb₂ (A = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) Alloys.

Project description:A M 2 X 2 compounds that crystallize in the CaAl 2 Si 2 structure type have emerged as a promising class of n- and p-type thermoelectric materials. Alloying on the cation (A) site is a frequently used approach to optimize the thermoelectric transport properties of A M 2 X 2 compounds, and complete solid solubility has been reported for many combinations of cations. In the present study, we investigate the phase stability of the AMg 2 Sb 2 system with mixed occupancy of Mg, Ca, Sr, or Ba on the cation (A) site. We show that the small ionic radius of Mg 2 + leads to limited solubility when alloyed with larger cations such as Sr or Ba. Phase separation observed in such cases indicates a eutectic-like phase diagram. By combining these results with prior alloying studies, we establish an upper limit for cation radius mismatch in A M 2 X 2 alloys to provide general guidance for future alloying and doping studies.

A Fluctuating State in the Framework Compounds (Ba,Sr)Al2O4.

Project description:The structural fluctuation in hexagonal Ba(1-x)Sr(x)Al2O4 with a corner-sharing AlO4 tetrahedral network was characterized at various temperatures using transmission electron microscopy experiments. For x???0.05, soft modes of q ~ (1/2, 1/2, 0) and equivalent wave vectors condense at a transition temperature (TC) and form a superstructure with a cell volume of 2a?×?2b?×?c. However, TC is largely suppressed by Sr-substitution, and disappears for x???0.1. Furthermore, the q ~ (1/2, 1/2, 0) soft mode deviates from the commensurate value as temperature decreases and survives in nanoscaled regions below ~200 K. These results strongly suggest the presence of a new quantum criticality induced by the soft mode. Two distinct soft modes were observed as honeycomb-type diffuse scatterings in the high-temperature region up to 800 K. This intrinsic structural instability is a unique characteristic of the framework compound and is responsible for this unusually fluctuating state.

A three-order-parameter bistable magnetoelectric multiferroic metal.

Project description:Using first-principles calculations we predict that the layered-perovskite metal Bi5Mn5O17 is a ferromagnet, ferroelectric, and ferrotoroid which may realize the long sought-after goal of a room-temperature ferromagnetic single-phase multiferroic with large, strongly coupled, primary-order polarization and magnetization. Bi5Mn5O17 has two nearly energy-degenerate ground states with mutually orthogonal vector order parameters (polarization, magnetization, ferrotoroidicity), which can be rotated globally by switching between ground states. Giant cross-coupling magnetoelectric and magnetotoroidic effects, as well as optical non-reciprocity, are thus expected. Importantly, Bi5Mn5O17 should be thermodynamically stable in O-rich growth conditions, and hence experimentally accessible.

Directed synthesis of a hybrid improper magnetoelectric multiferroic material.

Project description:Preparing materials which simultaneously exhibit spontaneous magnetic and electrical polarisations is challenging as the electronic features which are typically used to stabilise each of these two polarisations in materials are contradictory. Here we show that by performing low-temperature cation-exchange reactions on a hybrid improper ferroelectric material, Li2SrTa2O7, which adopts a polar structure due to a cooperative tilting of its constituent TaO6 octahedra rather than an electronically driven atom displacement, a paramagnetic polar phase, MnSrTa2O7, can be prepared. On cooling below 43 K the Mn2+ centres in MnSrTa2O7 adopt a canted antiferromagnetic state, with a small spontaneous magnetic moment. On further cooling to 38 K there is a further transition in which the size of the ferromagnetic moment increases coincident with a decrease in magnitude of the polar distortion, consistent with a coupling between the two polarisations.

Large Magnetoelectric Coupling in the Thin Film of Multiferroic CuO.

Project description:We report observation of large magnetoelectric coupling in an epitaxial thin film of multiferroic CuO grown on the (100)MgO substrate by the pulsed laser deposition technique. The film is characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectrometry. The crystallographic structure of the film turns out to be monoclinic (space group C2/c) with [111]CuO||[100]MgO "out-of-plane" epitaxy and "in-plane" domain structure. The lattice misfit strain is found to vary within ±1-3%. The dc resistivity, magnetization, dielectric spectroscopy, and remanent ferroeletric polarization have been measured across 80-300 K. The dielectric constant is found to decrease by >20% under a moderate magnetic field of ∼18 kOe while the remanent ferroelectric polarization, emerging at the onset of magnetic transition (T N ∼ 175 K), decreases by nearly 50% under ∼18 kOe field. These results could assume importance as the strain-free bulk CuO does not exhibit magnetoelectric coupling within such magnetic field regime. The strain-induced large magnetoelectric coupling in the CuO thin film would generate new possibility of further strain tuning to observe room-temperature magnetoelectric multiferroicity suitable for scores of applications such as memories, sensors, energy-harvesting devices, generators, amplifiers, and so forth.

Strain-Mediated Giant Magnetoelectric Coupling in a Crystalline Multiferroic Heterostructure.

Project description:Multiferroic heterostructures based on the strain-mediated mechanism present ultralow heat dissipation and large magnetoelectric coupling coefficient, two conditions that require endless improvement for the design of fast nonvolatile random access memories with reduced power consumption. This work shows that a structure consisting of a [Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3]0.7-[PbTiO3]0.3 (001) substrate on which a crystalline FeGa(001)/MgO(001) bilayer is deposited exhibits a giant magnetoelectric coupling coefficient of order 15 × 10-6 s m-1 at room temperature. That result is a 2-fold increment over the previous highest value. The spatial orientation of the magnetization vector in the epitaxial FeGa film is switched 90° with the application of electric field. The symmetry of the magnetic anisotropy is studied by the angular dependence of the remanent magnetization, demonstrating that poling the sample generates a switchable uniaxial magnetoelastic anisotropy in the film that overcomes the native low 4-fold magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy. Magnetic force microscopy shows that the switch of the easy axis activates the displacement of domain walls and the domain structures remain stable after that point. This result highlights the interest in single-crystalline structures including materials with large magnetoelastic coupling and small magnetocrystalline anisotropy for low-energy-consuming spintronic applications.

Magnetoelectric and magnetodielectric coupling and microwave resonator characteristics of Ba0.5Sr0.5Nb2O6/CoCr0.4Fe1.6O4 multiferroic composite.

Project description:A multiferroic composite consisting of single phases of 30 vol.% magnetostrictive ferrite and 70 vol.% relaxor ferroelectric has been synthesized. The ferrite exhibits a diffuse dielectric phase transition (DPT)with the transition temperature varying from 450?K to 600?K and an activation energy of 0.29?eV. Magnetically, it has a soft behavior with 70 emug-1 saturation magnetization and a Curie transition at ~620?K. The relaxor ferroelectric phase on the other hand exhibits two clear DPTs at 390?K-400?K and 150?K-300?K. The composite of these two shows a soft ferromagnetic behavior reminiscent of the ferrite along with 3 DPTs. There is strong coupling between the two orders - magnetostrictive and piezoelectric in the composite. The capacitance decreases by 45% in the presence of magnetic field corresponding to a sensitivity of 0.9% kOe-1, an extremely large value. The magnetoelectric coupling constant is found to be 20.6 mVcm-1Oe-1, a large value for a bulk composite. Microwave band stop filters of different thicknesses made from the composite have resonant frequencies which upshift in the presence of magnetic field indicating a multiferroic behavior with possibility for electric field tuning of resonant frequency.
