Size mismatch, grain boundary and bandwidth effects on structural, magnetic and electrical properties of Pr0.67Ba0.33MnO3 and Pr0.67Sr0.33MnO3 perovskites

We have studied the effect of size mismatch on the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of Pr_0.67Ba_0.33MnO₃ (PBMO) and Pr_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃ (PSMO) perovskites with considerable difference in their variance σ² values. Samples were prepared by ceramic route at 1200 °C. Morphological study, microstructure and chemical composition were examined by scanning electron microscopy, EDX analyses and Rietveld structure refinement. Both compounds exhibit single orthorhombic Pnma crystalline phase and with strongly connected and larger grains for PSMO than for PBMO that gives a beginning of single crystal growth in PSMO case. PBMO with higher variance exhibits distinct intrinsic (due to grains) and extrinsic (due to grain boundaries) transitions in the resistivity behaviour, and with higher transition temperatures than those usually reported in the literature. Extrinsic effects, however, are not observed in the lower σ² PSMO sample. Both compounds exhibit Curie temperature (T_C) values significantly higher than those reported in the literature, and with higher T_C for PSMO due to its larger bandwidth W. The experimental paramagnetic effective moment for PSMO is very close to the theoretical one, whereas there is a significant difference between these moments for PBMO sample, probably due to the considerable size mismatch effect between Pr and Ba, and to the ferromagnetic correlations in the paramagnetic state. Ferromagnetic-metallic regime in the two compounds seems to emanate from the electron-(phonon, magnon) scattering processes with a larger effect for PBMO than that for PSMO, due to the prominent role of the grain boundary in PBMO. Above paramagnetic-insulating transition temperature the data were well fitted by both variable range hopping (VRH) and small polaron hopping (SPH) models giving higher density state, and lower activation energy and Mott temperature T₀ for PSMO than those for PBMO, essentially due to their considerable difference in their variance values.     

Growth mechanism and magnon excitation in NiO nanowalls

The nanosized effects of short-range multimagnon excitation behavior and short-circuit diffusion in NiO nanowalls synthesized using the Ni grid thermal treatment method were observed. The energy dispersive spectroscopy mapping technique was used to characterize the growth mechanism, and confocal Raman scattering was used to probe the antiferromagnetic exchange energy J₂ between next-nearest-neighboring Ni ions in NiO nanowalls at various growth temperatures below the Neel temperature. This study shows that short spin correlation leads to an exponential dependence of the growth temperatures and the existence of nickel vacancies during the magnon excitation. Four-magnon configurations were determined from the scattering factor, revealing a lowest state and monotonic change with the growth temperature.PACS: 75.47.Lx; 61.82.Rx; 75.50.Tt; 74.25.nd; 72.10.Di     

Amorphous state ferroelectricity,magnon scattering and phase stability in microparticle materials

Microparticles and micrograin ceramics show features distinct from the usual-sized polycrystalline materials. Amorphous state material combined with microparticle size for Pb(Zr_0.51 Ti_0.49)O₃ mimics the dielectric behaviour of crystalline ferroelectricity in ABO₃ compounds. Fine-grained Y₃Fe₅O₁₂ (yig) synthesized by pressure sintering ofyig microparticles exhibit spinwave relaxation due to transit time across grain diameter. Applying microemulsion techniques for microparticle synthesis,γ-Fe₂O₃ has been synthesized. The phase stability fractionγ-Fe₂O₃/α-Fe₂O₃ is found to be a function of particle size. At very small sizesγ-Fe₂O₃ becomes amorphous, leading to interesting Mössbauer studies.

Laser-field-induced magnon amplification in a magnetic semiconductor quantum well under an external magnetic field

The laser-field induced magnon amplification in a magnetic semiconductor quantum well under an external magnetic field was discussed, it is shown that when the laser frequency is near to the electron cyclotron frequency, no matter how weaker the laser field is, the magnon amplification always occurs. In case of fixed laser frequency, the optical absorption of magnons obeys the definite selection rule to the laser field strength. The rate of change of magnon occupation is calculated, and the amplification condition is given.

Ultrastrong Magnon–Magnon Coupling and Chirality Switching in Antiferromagnet CrPS4

As new information carriers, antiferromagnetic magnons have great potential in the fields of spintronics and quantum information. However, the strong exchange interaction between sublattice spins in conventional antiferromagnets results in their frequencies up to the terahertz (THz) range, hindering further exploration of related applications and physics. Recently, emerging van der Waals A-type antiferromagnets with the weak exchange interaction may bring about a change. In this study, it demonstrates two distinct tunable ultrastrong magnon–magnon couplings in the gigahertz (GHz) band using this type of antiferromagnet, CrPS₄, with a maximum normalized coupling strength (η) of 0.31. It establishes orthorhombic and monoclinic models for theoretical analyses, unambiguously showing that the ultrastrong coupling strength is caused by unique magnetocrystalline anisotropy rather than exchange enhancement. Furthermore, for the first time, it observes a continuous switching process of sublattice magnon chirality arising from the orthorhombic nature of anisotropy. These findings not only deepen the understanding of antiferromagnetic spin dynamics but also offer a powerful platform for building magnonic quantum systems and chirality-based spintronics.
