Previous issue date: 2016 / Resumo: Neste trabalho investigamos as propriedades estruturais e magnéticas da família de compostos intermetálicos RTBi2 (R = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd; T = Cu, Au) além do composto CeCd0,7Sb2. As amostras foram crescidas pelo método de fluxo metálico, a maioria delas de forma inédita. Medidas macroscópicas de resistividade elétrica, susceptibilidade magnética e calor específico foram realizadas, além de medidas de espectroscopia de raios X de energia dispersiva ¿ EDS e difração de raios X. Medidas microscópicas de difração magnética de raios X e ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) foram realizadas, com ajuda de colaboradores, no composto CeCuBi2. Um modelo de campo médio que inclui uma interação de troca isotrópica entre primeiros vizinhos e efeitos de campo cristalino tetragonal foi utilizado para ajustar as medidas de magnetização e calor específico. Esses ajustes forneceram os parâmetros e esquemas de campo cristalino e os valores das constantes da interação de troca. A partir dessas análises encontramos como que efeitos de campo cristalino e a competição entre interações magnéticas, ferromagnética e antiferromagnética, governam as propriedades magnéticas desses compostos / Abstract: In this work we have investigated the structural and magnetic properties of the family of intermetallic compounds RTBi2 (R = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, T = Cu, Au) and, additionally, the CeCd0.7Sb2 compound. The samples were grown by Bi metallic flux method, most of them for the first time. Macroscopic measurements of electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat were carried out with supplementary measurements of Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction. Microscopic measurements of magnetic X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were carried out with the help of collaborators in the CeCuBi2 compound. A mean-field model that includes an anisotropic exchange interaction between nearest neighbors and tetragonal crystal field effects was used to fit the magnetization and specific heat data. The best fits yield the crystal field parameters and schemes of level and the values of the constants of exchange interaction for each compound in the RTBi2 series. From these analyzes, we have described how the crystal field effects and the competition between magnetic interactions, ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic, govern the magnetic properties of these compounds / Doutorado / Física / Doutor em Ciências / 1141235/2012 / CAPES

Estudo das transições metamagnéticas em compostos intermetálicos R IND. 6 Fe IND. 14 Al IND. X (R=Nd, La). / Study of transitions in intermetallic compounds metamagnéticas R6F14-xAlx (R = Nd, La)Jonen, Shintaro 14 March 2002 (has links)
Os compostos intermetálicos do tipo R IND. 6 Fe IND. 14-X Al IND. X (R = Nd, La) são antiferromagnéticos e apresentam uma transição do tipo metamagnética em campos da ordem de 2-3 Tesla. Com objetivo de caracterizar suas propriedades magnéticas, amostras policristalinas forma investigadas via medidas de magnetização, magneto-resistência, magnetostricção e difração de nêutrons. As amostras foram preparadas por meio de forno a arco e submetidas a tratamentos térmicos de 750 GRAUSC por 4 semanas. A estrutura cristalina foi identificada como sendo tetragonal do tipo La IND. 6 Co IND. 11 GA IND. 3 (grupo especial 14/mcm). Em contraste com os compostos baseados em La, as amostras de Nd apresentaram uma grande histerese magnética e um efeito dependente da história magnética na região de T<30 K, e um ordenamento dos momentos magnéticos de Nd a 70 K. As T IND. N foram determinadas por meio de medidas de suscetibilidade magnética e se encontram na região de 150-310 K e 100-230 K para os compostos de Nd e La, respectivamente. A transição metamagnética foi observada em todas as amostras analisadas, e foi observada uma variação de 3-5% da resistência elétrica no momento da transição, sugerindo uma estrutura magnética em forma de camadas magnéticas. Infelizmente através das medidas de difração de nêutrons, não foi possível determinar a estrutura magnética das amostras. Entretanto, no composto Nd IND. 6 Fe IND. 10 Al IND. 4, essas medidas nos indicaram uma mudança da estrutura espacial por meio da alteração do grupo espacial do 14/mcm para P42/mcm na região de temperatura de 70 K, onde foi observado um pico bastante saliente em nossas medidas de suscetibilidade. Por meio de medidas de espectroscopia Mössbauer não foi observado nenhum comportamento anômalo nos parâmetros hiperfinos do Fe, indicando ser esta um fenômeno isolado dos momentos do Nd. ) Um outro resultado obtido por difração de nêutrons foi a presença de uma reflexão magnética (001) que cresce na região abaixo de 30 K, indicando a existência de uma componente dos spins paralela ao plano basal. Nenhuma anomalia magnética foi observada nas amostras de La. Esse crescimento do pico (001) sugere uma tendência dos momentos do Nd a se alinharem na direção do plano basal, podendo ser esta a explicação para o efeito de irreversibilidade observado nesta região de temperatura / Rare earth-based intermetallic compounds R IND.6Fe IND.14-xAl IND.x with R=(Nd, La) are antiferromagnetic and undergo a metamagnetic transition at 2~3 T applied fields. In order to further characterize their magnetic behavior, polycrystalline samples were investigated with magnetometry, magneto resistance, magnetostriction and neutron diffraction. Samples have been prepared by arc melting under argon and annealed at 750°C for four weeks. The crystal structure is tetragonal of La IND.6Co IND.11Ga IND.3-type (space group 14/mcm). In contrast to La-based compounds, Nd IND.6Fe IND.14-xAl IND.x exhibits a large transition hysteresis and magnetic history effects at T<30 K, and antiferromagnetic ordering of Nd moments at 70 K. The T IND.N was determined by magnetic susceptibility measurements in the 150-310 K and 100-230 K range for the Nd and La compounds, respectively. The metamagnetic transition was observed for all samples and a ~3-5% resistivity drop was found to occur concomitantly, suggesting a magnetic multilayer-like structure. Unfortunately the magnetic structure of this compound could not be determined in this work by neutron diffraction. However, neutron diffraction measurements in the Nd IND.6Fe IND.10Al IND.4 compound revealed a change of space group from 14/mcm to P4 IND.2/mcm at 70 K, where the magnetic susceptibility exhibits a sharp peak. Mossbauer spectroscopy measured in the 4.2-100 K range has shown no evidence of Fe spin rotation, suggesting an isolated Nd phenomenon. Another result from neutron diffraction measurements was the presence of a magnetic (001) reflection that grows below 30 K, indicating the development of a spin component parallel to the basal plane. No such effect was observed with La-based samples. This increase is likely to be due to a canting of Nd moments towards the basal plane. The coincidence of this effect with the onset temperature for irreversible behavior in magnetic measurements is consistent with this interpretation.

Previous issue date: 2009 / Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta estudos sistemáticos das propriedades magnéticas dos compostos Ce2MIn8 (M = Rh, Ir) dopados com Cd, Sn e Ga no sítio cristalográfico do In. Foram utilizadas as técnicas de medidas macroscópicas de susceptibilidade magnética, calor específico e resistividade elétrica, além de medidas de caracterização estrutural pelo método de difração de pó de raios-x e medidas microscópicas da determinação da estrutura magnética usando a técnica de espalhamento magnético de raios-x e nêutrons para os compostos dopados com Cd. Os compostos Ce2MIn8 (chamados de 218) são tetragonais (grupo espacial P4/mmm) e são a versão bi-camada da família de férmions pesados supercondutores Cem MnIn3m+2n(M = Co, Rh, Ir; m = 1,2; n = 0,1), na qual os compostos do tipo CeMIn5 (chamados de 115) foram muito estudados por apresentarem uma variedade de propriedades físicas interessantes, tais como efeito Kondo, supercondutividade não convencional, ordenamento magnético, comportamento non-Fermi-Liquid, e ocorrência de pontos críticos quânticos. Mais interessante ainda é o fato de que estas propriedades podem ser controladas por dopagem, pressão externa e/ou campo magnético gerando diagramas de fases bastante interessantes. O objetivo de se estudar os parentes Ce2MIn8 é entender o papel da dimensionalidade nas propriedades físicas destes compostos e comparar os resultados encontrados com aqueles observados para os 115. Foram construídos os diagramas de fase inéditos para as séries de Ce2RhIn8-xCdx, Ce2IrIn8-xCdx, C e2Rh0.5Ir0.5In8-xC dx, Ce2RhIn8-xSnx e Ce2RhIn8-xGax a partir de dados obtidos utilizando as técnicas mencionadas acima. Foi visto que a dopagem de Cd nos compostos Ce2MIn8 favorece o AFM através do aumento da TN em função da concentração de Cd. Os resultados sugerem que o Cd está agindo de modo a diminuir a densidade de carga local e isso está favorecendo o ordenamento magnético. Porém, resultados da variação da temperatura do máximo da resistividade elétrica em função da concentração de Cd, sugerem que efeitos de campo cristalino também estão presentes nestes compostos. A estrutura magnética dos compostos de Ce2RhIn8-xCdx e C e2IrIn8-xCdx dopados com x = 2.6 % de Cd foram estudados em baixas-T e encontrou-se um vetor de propagação do tipo (½ ½ 0) consistente com ordenamento AFM abaixo de TN. Verificou-se que a orientação do momento magnético tende a ir na direção do plano-ab com dopagem de Cd nestes compostos. A substituição de In por Sn nos compostos de Ce2MIn8 mostrou que esta dopagem está desfavorecendo o ordenamento magnético através da diminuição do valor da TN em função da concentração de Sn. Os resultados sugerem que o Sn está favorecendo o efeito Kondo e que efeitos de campo cristalino são menos observáveis nos compostos dopados com Sn. Foi visto que a dopagem com Ga no sítio do In igualmente diminui a temperatura de ordenamento magnético e favorece o efeito Kondo. Porém, os resultados sugerem que efeitos de campo cristalino estão presentes pela variação não usual da temperatura do máximo das curvas de resistividade elétrica em função da dopagem com Ga. Neste trabalho também são apresentados estudos da evolução do magnetismo dos elétrons 4f, em compostos relacionados que não são férmions pesados para R2CoGa8, para R = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er e Tm. Nestes compostos podemos observar a evolução do magnetismo e dos efeitos de campo cristalino sem a presença do efeito Kondo / Abstract: This thesis describes the investigation of the physical properties of the (Cd, Sn, Ga)-doped Ce2MIn8 (M = Rh, Ir) intermetallic compounds. Temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity and electrical resistivity measurements were performed to characterize the macroscopic properties of the synthesized compounds. X-ray powder diffraction were used to determine their phase purity and crystal structure and X-ray and neutron magnetic scattering techniques were used to study the microscopic magnetic structure in low temperature. The Ce2MIn8 (M = Rh, Ir) compounds belong to the family of the heavy-fermions Ce-based compounds CenMIn3n+2 (M = Co, Rh, Ir; n = 1, 2), where the occurrence of unconventional superconductivity (USC) in many of its members has been motivating intense work in past few years. In particular these compounds present a wide range of interesting properties as Kondo effect, USC, magnetism, non Fermi liquid and Fermi liquid behavior and the occurrence of quantum critical points. Particularly interesting is the tunability of their ground state by pressure and chemical doping that revealed very interesting and rich phase diagrams with properties that are unprecedented for this class of compounds. Indeed the study of the 218 parent compounds is a great opportunity to further study the relationship between magnetism, USC and crystal structure in this family. We report in this work five unpublished phase diagrams of this family: Ce2RhIn8-xCdx, Ce2IrIn8-xCdx, Ce2Rh0.5Ir0.5 In8-xCdx, Ce2RhIn8-xSnx e Ce2RhIn8-xGax. Our results revealed that Cd-doping Ce2MIn8 enhances the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature as a function of the Cd concentration. The results suggest that the Cd-doping in these compounds is inducing an electronic tuning by locally decreasing the Ce 3+ density of states and this is favoring the AFM ordering according com a Doniach-like scenario. However the evolution of the maximum in the resistivity as a function of the Cd concentration and the small variation of the magnetic moment orientation of the doped compounds suggest that Cd-doping is also changing the crystal field (CEF) parameters in these compounds. The magnetic structure studied by X-ray and neutron magnetic scattering showed the Cd-doped samples present just below TN a commensurate antiferromagnetic structure with a propagation vector (½ ½ 0). The magnetic structure determination indicates that the magnetic moment orientation of the Cd doped samples tend going to the ab-plane. The Sn chemical substitution in Ce2MI n8 (M = Rh, Ir) showed Sn-doping is decreasing the magnetic order by favoring the Kondo effect. This is the opposite of the Cd-doping effect because Sn is now increasing the local density of states of the Ce3+ions. As Sn-doping drives 4f to a more itinerant character the CEF effect are less important for this compounds. On the other hand, the Ga-doped Ce2RhI n8 similarly show a decreasing of the magnetic order due to the enhancement of the Kondo effect by chemical pressure. However the unexpected evolution of the maximum in the resistivity as a function of the Ga suggests in this dopant is changing the crystal field is still an important effect in this compound. Finally we present the 4f magnetism evolution studies on the series of the Ga-based R2CoGa8 for R = Gd ¿ Tm compounds, where one can follow the evolution of the magnetism and the CEF parameters without the presence of the Kondo effect / Doutorado / Física da Matéria Condensada / Doutor em Ciências

Neutron scattering study of the high Tc superconductorsZhao, Jun 01 May 2010 (has links)
We carried out systematic neutron scattering experiments to investigate the magnetic properties and their relationship to the high-$T_c$ superconductivity, when the materials are tuned from their antiferromagnetic (AF) parent compounds to the superconducting regime.
We observed resonance mode in the electron doped cuprate Nd$_{1.85}$Ce$_{0.15}$CuO$_4$, demonstrating that the resonance is a general phenomenon in cuprate superconductors regardless of hole- or electron-doping. In Pr$_{0.88}$LaCe$_{0.12}$CuO$_4$, the local susceptibility displays two distinct energy scales that are broadly consistent with the bosonic modes revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy experiments. These results indicate the presence of very strong electron spin excitations couplings in electron doped cuprates.
Shortly after the discovery of high-$T_c$ superconductivity in the Fe pnictides, we discovered that the magnetic phase diagram of CeFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_x$ is remarkably similar to that of the cuprates. Besides CeFeAsO, similar magnetic and lattice structures are also observed in PrFeAsO and SrFe$_2$As$_2$ systems. Neutron scattering measurements show that in SrFe$_2$As$_2$, the spectrum of magnetic excitations consists of a Bragg peak at the elastic position, a spin gap, and sharp spin-wave excitations at higher energies. Based on the observed dispersion relation, we estimated the effective magnetic exchange coupling using a Heisenberg model.
In order to study the nature of the exchange interactions in the parent compound of Fe pnictides, we studied the high energy spin-wave excitations in CaFe$_2$As$_2$. Although the spin waves in the entire Brillouin zone can be described by an effective three-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg Hamiltonian, the magnetism in this system is neither purely local nor purely itinerant; rather it is a complicated mix of the two.
When the Fe pnictide is tuned into superconducting regime with doping, the low energy spin fluctuation is dominated by a resonance mode. In the optimally electron doped BaFe$_{1.9}$Ni$_{0.1}$As$_2$, application of a magnetic field that suppresses the superconductivity and superconducting gap energy also reduces the intensity and energy of the resonance. These results suggest that the energy of the resonance is proportional to the electron pairing energy, and thus indicate that spin fluctuations are intimately related to the mechanism of high $T_c$ superconductivity.

Ground State Studies Of Strongly Correlated 2D SystemsPathak, Sandeep 07 1900 (has links) (PDF)
The quest for obtaining higher Tc superconductivity led to the discovery of cuprates about 20 years ago. Since then, they continue to puzzle the scientific community with their bizarre properties like non-BCS superconductivity, pseudo gap, Fermi arcs, linear T resistivity etc.
Since these materials show unusually high Tc, a novel mechanism is at play and strong correlations are believed to play an important role. The theme of this thesis work is to study physics of such strongly correlated systems in two dimensions at T = 0 along with development of new theoretical tools necessary for the study.
The focus of the thesis is on the ground state studies of strongly correlated models like t-J and Hubbard models using variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and renormalized mean field theory (RMFT). The general method is to propose a variational wave function, motivated by the physics ideas, to be a candidate ground state of the system. Methods to efficiently evaluate the ground state energy and minimizing it with respect to the variational parameters are developed in this work. Antiferromagnetism-superconductivity competition and electron-hole asymmetry in the extended t-J model is investigated. The main result of this work is that increasing the magnitude of the next neighbor hopping (t') on hole doped side strengthen superconductivity while it stabilizes antiferromagnetism on the electron doped side. It is also shown that it is possible to characterize the T = 0 phase diagram with just one parameter called as Fermi Surface Convexity Parameter (FSCP). Next, the possibility of phase separation in the t-J model on a
square lattice is investigated using local RMFT technique. It is found that for certain doping, the system phase separates into regions with antiferromagnetic and superconducting orders. Next, the role played by crystalline anisotropy of orthorhombic YBCO cuprates on their properties is examined using anisotropic
tx-ty-J model and this ground state study suggests that the anisotropies seen in their properties are plausible solely due to the crystalline anisotropy. A new general method to study strongly correlated systems with singlet ground states is developed and tested in this thesis work. The last part of the thesis explores the possibility of high Tc superconductivity in graphene which is a intermediate coupling resonating valence bond (RVB) system. It is found that undoped graphene is not a superconductor, consistent with the experiments. On doping, the ground state of graphene is found to be a superconductor with “d+id” symmetry whose strength shows a dome as a function of doping which is reminiscent of RVB physics.
