Transition-metal (TM)-doped diluted magnetic oxides (DMOs) have attracted attention from both experimental and theoretical points of view due to their potential use in spintronics towards new nanostructured devices and new technologies. In the present work, we study the magnetic properties of Sn0.96TM0.04O2 and Sn0.96TM0.04O1.98(VO)0.02, where TM = Fe and Co, focusing in particular in the role played by the presence of O vacancies nearby the TM. The calculated total energy as a function of the total magnetic moment per cell shows a magnetic metastability, corresponding to a ground state, respectively, with 2 and 1 μB/cell, for Fe and Co. Two metastable states, with 0 and 4 μB/cell were found for Fe, and a single value, 3 μB/cell, for Co. The spin-crossover energies (ES) were calculated. The values are ES0/2 = 107 meV and ES4/2 = 25 meV for Fe. For Co, ES3/1 = 36 meV. By creating O vacancies close to the TM site, we show that the metastablity and ES change. For iron, a new state appears, and the state with zero magnetic moment disappears. The ground state is 4 μB/cell instead of 2 μB/cell, and the energy ES2/4 is 30 meV. For cobalt, the ground state is then found with 3 μB/cell and the metastable state with 1 μB/cell. The spin-crossover energy ES1/3 is 21 meV. Our results suggest that these materials may be used in devices for spintronic applications that require different magnetization states. 相似文献

The Bi0.9Er0.1Fe0.96Mn0.02Co0.02O3/Co1-xMnxFe2O4 (BEFMCO/CMxFO) thin films have been deposited by sol-gel method. Structural distortion is observed in the BEFMCO with the appearance of trigonal-R-3m: H in the CMxFO. The enhanced multiferroic properties, well electrically writable and ferroelectric switching properties are obtained in BEFMCO/CMxFO thin films. The investigation indicates that the structural transformation of the CMxFO influences the structure and multiferroic properties of BEFMCO and the interfacial effects between BEFMCO and CMxFO layers. This transformation and Mn-doping cause the change of carriers, which solves the problem that the magnetic layer exacerbates the ferroelectric properties. It promotes to form the weak local electric field, which causes the weak interface effect, and brings out the weak resistive switching in the BEFMCO/CMxFO thin films. Therefore, it is believed that the BEFMCO/CMxFO films can offer a potentially tunable structural transformation of composite films for practical applications. 相似文献

The influence of homogeneous magnetic fields with flux density up to 1 T superimposed during the deposition of CoFe thin films on their properties has been studied. It has been clearly demonstrated that the superimposition of magnetic fields influences the resulting layer properties significantly. A pronounced impact on the layer morphology has been observed. The layers deposited under the influence of the parallel-to-electrode magnetic field appear denser and more homogenous than those obtained without a magnetic field. On the contrary, the layers deposited in the perpendicular-to-electrode magnetic field appeared more diverse. A scaling analysis revealed a smoothing effect of a parallel- and a roughening effect of a perpendicular-to-electrode magnetic field. No influence of magnetic fields neither on the deposited layers chemical composition nor the structure and texture has been found, whereas the internal stress state of the layer is affected by the superimposition. The effects are discussed with respect to the Lorentz force driven convection, which increases the electrochemical reaction's rates and improves desorption of hydrogen from the electrode surface. The alterations of magnetic properties of the CoFe thin films correlate well with the observed microstructural changes. Moreover, an in-plane magnetic anisotropy is induced by a parallel magnetic field superimposition. This phenomenon origins from a preferential next neighbour atomic pair-ordering in the direction of the magnetic field, e.g. magnetization, during deposition of the ferromagnetic alloy. 相似文献

The crystal structures and magnetic properties of CrO2 films of different orientations and thicknesses grown on SnO2 were investigated and compared with those on TiO2. Results reveal that large anisotropic strains were found in (100) films, but only small strains existed in (110) films. The magnetic anisotropies of CrO2 (110) films on SnO2 and TiO2 were found to be similar. As for CrO2 (100) films, magnetic anisotropies were quite different-at the same thickness, the magnetic anisotropy of the film on SnO2 substrate was higher than that on TiO2. However, the easy axes of the films were found to be always along c axis even at very small thickness, and no easy axis switching was observed. First-principle calculations reveal that magnetic anisotropy energy is not only concerned with anisotropic strain but also with the substrate. The competition between the anisotropic preference of interface and the effect of strains may be one important factor for determining the actual easy axis direction. The combined effects of strain and interface may also be one reason for the magnetic anisotropic difference between CrO2 (100) films on SnO2 and TiO2. 相似文献

The chemical solution deposition of Mg(OH)2 thin films on glass substrates and their transformation to MgO by annealing in air is presented. The chemical solution deposition consists of a chemical reaction employing an aqueous solution composed of magnesium sulfate, triethanolamine, ammonium hydroxide, and ammonium chloride. The as-deposited films were annealed at different temperatures ranging from 325 to 500?°C to identify the Mg(OH)2-to-MgO transition temperature, which resulted to be around 375?°C. Annealing the as-deposited Mg(OH)2 films at 500?°C results in homogeneous MgO thin films. The properties of the Mg(OH)2 and MgO thin films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and by circular transmission line model. Results by X-ray diffraction show that the as-deposited thin films have a brucite structure (Mg(OH)2), that transforms into the periclase phase (MgO) after annealing at 500?°C. For the as-deposited Mg(OH)2 thin film, a nanowall surface morphology is found; this morphology is maintained after the annealing to obtain MgO, which occurred with the evident formation of pores on the nanowall surface. The assessed chemical composition from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy yields Mg0.36O0.64 (O/Mg ratio of 1.8) for the as-deposited Mg(OH)2 film, where the expected stoichiometric composition is Mg0.33O0.67 (O/Mg ratio of 2.0); the same assessment yields Mg0.60O0.40 (O/Mg ratio of 0.7) for the annealed thin film, which indicates the obtainment of a MgO material with oxygen vacancies, given the deviation from the stoichiometric composition of Mg0.50O0.50 (O/Mg ratio of 1.0). These results confirm the deposition of Mg(OH)2 films and the obtainment of MgO after the heat-treatment. The energy band gap of the films is found to be 4.64 and 5.10?eV for the as-deposited and the film annealed at 500?°C, respectively. The resistivity of both Mg(OH)2 and MgO thin films lies around 108?Ω·cm. 相似文献
