BiMnO3的铁电铁磁机制,轨道有序和自旋有序的第一原理

为了探讨多铁材料铁电畸变的根本机制及其电子结构对于性能的影响,采用基于密度泛函理论的广义梯度近似方法,对多铁材料BiMnO3的高温顺电顺磁相、室温铁电顺磁相和低温铁电铁磁相的电子结构做了第一原理计算.对态密度、电子密度以及Mulliken电荷等计算结果的分析表明:Bi-6p轨道与O-2p轨道间的选择性共价作用增强是铁电畸变的首要引发因素,6s电子的极化也是其导致的效应之一.对与多铁现象共生的轨道有序和自旋有序的研究指出了去中心化的晶格畸变、Jahn-Teller畸变和自旋失措引发的晶格畸变三者之间的相互耦合以及耦合对铁电铁磁性的影响.     

碱土金属掺杂对BiFeO3陶瓷多铁性的影响

为了探究碱土金属离子掺杂对BiFeO3陶瓷多铁性的影响,采用固相法成功制备了BiFeO3以及Bi0.9 A0.1 FeO3(A=Ca、Sr、Ba)陶瓷,并对其铁电、铁磁等性能进行了研究.X射线衍射结果表明:晶体均为六方钙钛矿结构,空间群为R3 c,晶胞参数随掺杂离子半径的增大呈现先增大后减小的现象.电学性能测试发现:Bi0.9 A0.1 FeO3陶瓷的铁电极化值和漏电流密度均随着掺杂离子半径的增大而增大.结合X射线光电子谱(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,XPS)铁离子价态分析表明:Bi0.9 A0.1 FeO3陶瓷铁电性会受掺杂带来的结构畸变和氧空位浓度变化的双重作用的影响.BFO、BCFO、BSFO和BBFO陶瓷的磁化强度依次增大,磁场强度为14 T时磁化强度分别为0.150、0.356、0.497和0.995 emu/g,其铁磁性随掺杂离子半径增大而增强,这与掺杂造成的结构畸变以及铁离子变价有关.     

Magnetoelectric,magnetodielectric effect and dielectric,magnetic properties of microwave-sintered lead-free x(Co0.9Ni0.1Fe2O4)-(1-x)[0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3TiO3)-0.5(BaZr0.2Ti0.8O3)] particulate multiferroic composite

Materials with two distinct (magnetostrictive-ferroelectric) phases, i.e., x (Co_0·9Ni_0·1Fe₂O₄) -(1-x) [0.5 (Ba_0·7Ca_0·3TiO₃) −0.5 (BaZr_0·2Ti_0·8O₃)], combined at ratios of 10:90, 20:80, 30:70, and 40:60 were prepared using a hydroxide coprecipitation method. These multiferroic composites were subjected to sintering via the hybrid microwave sintering technique at 1200 °C for 20 min. Ni-substituted CFO exhibited excellent magnetic properties at room temperature, with Ms ≈ 80 emu/g, μB ≈ 3.37, Mr ≈ 19.05 emu/g, and Hc ≈ 599 Oe, as well as a high value of the magnetostriction coefficient (λ12 ≈ −118 ppm). The magnetostrictive-ferroelectric crystal phases in each composite were confirmed via X-ray diffraction analysis. The highest value of the linear magneto-electric coefficient was α = 21.6 mV/cm-Oe at a frequency of 1 kHz for the 40CNFO-60(BCT-BZT) composite, and a similar sample had the highest value of the magnetodielectric coefficient, which was approximately 3.3% at f = 1 kHz with an applied magnetic field of 1 T. The typical ferromagnetic and ferroelectric nature of each composite was confirmed by M − H and P–E hysteresis loops, respectively at room temperature. Two anomalies were observed in the temperature-dependent dielectric permittivity one at ~140 °C and another above 500 °C confirming the coexistence of two materials with distinct transition points, i.e., BCT-BZT and CNFO, respectively.     

镨掺杂铁酸铋粉晶的结构和磁性研究

Pr掺杂的BiFeO3粉晶是由溶胶凝胶方法制备的,掺杂浓度为0≤x≤0.5.分别用X光衍射和综合物性测量系统对Bi1-x Prx FeO3粉晶样品的结构和磁性进行了测量和分析。分析结果表明,Pr掺杂与其他稀土元素掺杂明显不同.随着Pr掺杂量的增加,母体BiFeO3的结构由菱形R3c相变为正交Pnma相的过程中,出现了稳定的PbZrO3型正交Pbam过渡相.另外,随着掺杂浓度的增大,Bi1-x Prx FeO3的磁性逐渐增强,剩余磁化强度Mr在相变边界处有最大值,并且在进入Pnma相后逐渐减小。     

BiFeO_3的水热合成及其结构演变

以Fe(NO3)3·9H2O和Bi(NO3)3·5H2O为原料、Na OH为矿化剂,采用水热法成功制备了Bi Fe O3粉体,研究了Bi Fe O3粉体在不同反应条件下的相结构与微观形貌的演变。结果表明:低的反应温度下只有杂相生成,提高反应温度使得杂相逐渐减少,有效地促进Bi Fe O3相的合成;反应时间的延长也有助于减少杂相,而较低的矿化剂浓度能够获得纯Bi Fe O3,当Na OH浓度为1 mol/L时,在170℃反应24 h可以获得纯Bi Fe O3粉体。另外,通过控制不同的反应条件,可以获得多种形貌的产物,如薄片、球形体、纳米颗粒、纳米线、四面体,实验发现,适中的反应温度、时间和矿化剂浓度可以得到大尺寸的球形体(~10μm),而反应时间的延长则会促进一维纳米结构及纳米颗粒的生长。     

TiO2 /BiFeO3薄膜中增强的磁性和铁电性能

为改善铁酸铋(Bi Fe O3)薄膜的铁电性能,通过溶胶-凝胶和磁控溅射的方法在Au/Pt/Cr/Si基底上制备了Ti O2/Bi Fe O3(Ti O2/BFO)和Bi Fe O3薄膜.采用扫描探针显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、X射线衍射仪、铁电测试仪和物理性能测量仪对薄膜进行了物性表征.实验结果表明:Ti O2阻挡层抑制了BFO薄膜表面缺陷的形成,提高了复合薄膜的绝缘性能,使Ti O2/BFO薄膜中泄漏电流明显降低,且导电机制由欧姆型向空间电荷限制传导型转变.此外,溅射Ti O2阻挡层破坏了BFO表面的螺旋结构,使Ti O2和BFO之间晶格失配而产生界面应力,提高了薄膜的磁电性能.在顶电极和铁电层之间引入阻挡层是提高BFO薄膜磁电性能的一种有效方法.     

Ultraflexible and Malleable Fe/BaTiO3 Multiferroic Heterostructures for Functional Devices

The high demand for flexible spintronics based on multiferroic heterostructures makes growing high-quality flexible, functional oxides urgently, in which needs to be deposited on lattice-matched substrates. In this paper, ultraflexible and malleable iron (Fe)/BaTiO₃ (BTO) multiferroic heterostructures are demonstrated, showing a perfect crystallinity and hetero-epitaxial growth. In terms of performance, they indicate good multiferroic properties and excellent bending tunability, as well as obvious magnetoelectric (ME) coupling effect. During the phase transformation from the rhombohedral phase to the orthorhombic phase of BTO layers in the heating process, a large ME coupling coefficient of 120 Oe  ° C⁻¹ along the out-of-plane direction is obtained. This value keeps consistent in the phase-field simulation of magnetic domain evolution, in which the biaxial compressive strain induced-magnetoelastic anisotropy facilitates the magnetic easy axis of Fe layers to the [110] or [–1–10] direction. Besides, ultraflexible Fe/BTO heterostructures are found to have a 690 Oe ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) field shift along the out-of-plane direction under the flexible tuning (R  = 5 mm). This work should pave a way toward flexible spintronic and functional devices with fast speed, portability, and low energy consumption.     

Comparison of room-temperature multiferroics in Bi_4Fe_2TiO_(12) film and bulk

It was reported that both dielectricity and magnetism at room temperature were appreciably improved in Bi4Fe2TiO12 film compared with Bi4Fe2TiO12 bulk.X-ray diffraction profiles reveal similar crystalline nature and random orientation of the two,but X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiments indicate that it is 1.4 eV lower binding energy of core-state Ols in the film relative to that of the bulk,so the improvement of multiferroics in the film is attributed to oxygen vacancies and high fraction of interface.The results have promising applications in multifunetional integrated devices.
