Fundamental Properties of Functional Magnetic MaterialsWikberg, Magnus January 2010 (has links)
Magnetic properties of powders, thin films and single crystals have been investigated using magnetometry methods. This thesis provides analysis and conclusions that are supported by the results obtained from spectroscopic and diffraction measurements as well as from theoretical calculations. First, the magnetic behavior of transition metal (TM) doped ZnO with respect to doping, growth conditions and post annealing has been studied. Our findings indicate that the magnetic behavior stems from small clusters or precipitates of the dopant, with ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic interactions. At the lowest dopant concentrations, the estimated cluster sizes are too small for high resolution imaging. Still, the clusters may be sufficiently large to generate a finite spontaneous magnetization even at room temperature and could easily be misinterpreted as an intrinsic ferromagnetic state of the TM:ZnO compound. Second, influence of lattice strain on both magnetic moment and anisotropy has been investigated for epitaxial MnAs thin films grown on GaAs substrates. The obtained magnetic moments and anisotropy values are higher than for bulk MnAs. The enhanced values are caused by highly strained local areas that have a stronger dependence on the in-plane axis strain than out-of plane axis strain. Finally, spin glass behavior in Li-layered oxides, used for battery applications, and a double perovskite material has been investigated. For both Li(NiCoMn)O2 and (Sr,La)MnWO6, a mixed-valence of one of the transition metal ions creates competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions resulting in a low temperature three-dimensional (3D) spin glass state. Additionally, Li(NiCoMn)O2 with large cationic mixing exhibits a percolating ferrimagnetic spin order in the high temperature region and coexists with a two-dimensional (2D) frustrated spin state in the mid temperature region. This is one of the rare observations where a dimensional crossover from 2D to 3D spin frustration appears in a reentrant material. / Felaktigt tryckt som Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 720

Magnetic superexchange interactions: trinuclear bis(oxamidato) versus bis(oxamato) type complexesAbdulmalic, Mohammad A., Aliabadi, Azar, Petr, Andreas, Krupskaya, Yulia, Kataev, Vladislav, Büchner, Bernd, Zaripov, Ruslan, Vavilova, Evgeniya, Voronkova, Violeta, Salikov, Kev, Hahn, Torsten, Kortus, Jens, Meva, Francois Eya'ane, Schaarschmidt, Dieter, Rüffer, Tobias 09 June 2015 (has links) (PDF)
The diethyl ester of o-phenylenebis(oxamic acid) (opbaH2Et2) was treated with an excess of RNH2 in MeOH to cause the exclusive formation of the respective o-phenylenebis(N(R)-oxamides) (opboH4R2, R = Me 1, Et 2, nPr 3) in good yields. Treatment of 1–3 with half an equivalent of [Cu2(AcO)4(H2O)2] or one equivalent of [Ni(AcO)2(H2O)4] followed by the addition of four equivalents of [nBu4N]OH resulted in the formation of mononuclear bis(oxamidato) type complexes [nBu4N]2[M(opboR2)] (M = Ni, R = Me 4, Et 5, nPr 6; M = Cu, R = Me 7, Et 8, nPr 9). By addition of two equivalents of [Cu(pmdta)(NO3)2] to MeCN solutions of 7–9, novel trinuclear complexes [Cu3(opboR2)(L)2](NO3)2 (L = pmdta, R = Me 10, Et 11, nPr 12) could be obtained. Compounds 4–12 have been characterized by elemental analysis and NMR/IR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the solid state structures of 4–10 and 12 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. By controlled cocrystallization, diamagnetically diluted 8 and 9 (1%) in the host lattice of 5 and 6 (99%) (8@5 and 9@6), respectively, in the form of single crystals have been made available, allowing single crystal ESR studies to extract all components of the g-factor and the tensors of onsite CuA and transferred NA hyperfine (HF) interaction. From these studies, the spin density distribution of the [Cu(opboEt2)]2− and [Cu(opbonPr2)]2− complex fragments of 8 and 9, respectively, could be determined. Additionally, as a single crystal ENDOR measurement of 8@5 revealed the individual HF tensors of the N donor atoms to be unequal, individual estimates of the spin densities on each N donor atom were made. The magnetic properties of 10–12 were studied by susceptibility measurements versus temperature to give J values varying from −96 cm−1 (10) over −104 cm−1 (11) to −132 cm−1 (12). These three trinuclear CuII-containing bis(oxamidato) type complexes exhibit J values which are comparable to and slightly larger in magnitude than those of related bis(oxamato) type complexes. In a summarizing discussion involving experimentally obtained ESR results (spin density distribution) of 8 and 9, the geometries of the terminal [Cu(pmdta)]2+ fragments of 12 determined by crystallographic studies, together with accompanying quantum chemical calculations, an approach is derived to explain these phenomena and to conclude if the spin density distribution of mononuclear bis(oxamato)/bis(oxamidato) type complexes could be a measure of the J couplings of corresponding trinuclear complexes. / Dieser Beitrag ist aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

Magnetické a magnetoelastické vlastnosti f-d intermetalik s vysokým obsahem 3d kovů / Magnetic and magnetoelastic properties of f-d intermetallics with high content of 3d-metalGorbunov, Denis January 2014 (has links)
Fundamental magnetic properties have been studied in RFexAl12-x (R - heavy rare-earth element) compounds with the tetragonal crystal structure of the ThMn12 type. In the homogeneity range 4 ≤ x ≤ 6, exchange interactions and magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the Fe sublattice are significantly modified as found in LuFexAl12-x with non-magnetic Lu. With increasing Fe content, antiferromagnetic exchange interactions weaken and ferromagnetic strengthen. The change of the type of magnetic ordering occurs in the vicinity of x = 5. The Fe sublattice displays an easy-plane magnetic anisotropy that weakens with growing Fe concentration. RFe5Al7 compounds with magnetic R are highly anisotropic ferrimagnets with Curie temperatures from 193 to 262 K. Spontaneous and field-induced magnetic phase transitions of anisotropic and exchange nature have been found in RFe5Al7 by measurements of magnetization and sound propagation. The transitions provide quantitative information on the R-Fe inter-sublattice exchange. A correlation between the R element and the fundamental magnetic properties has been found for RFe5Al7. The Fe magnetic moment is near 8 µB per formula unit. The compounds with R - Tb, Dy, Ho and Er have a compensation of the rare- earth and iron sublattice magnetizations. The compensation point and Curie...

No. of bitstreams: 0 / Eletrocatalisadores baseados em Pd/C, PdCu/C, PdNi/C e PdAg/C foram produzidos pelo método de micro-ondas para serem utilizados como cátodo na célula a combustível alcalina na ausência e presença de álcool. Este método se mostrou bastante efetivo para a produção dos materiais, uma vez que as partículas apresentaram boa dispersão no suporte de carbono e produziram eletrocatalisadores com tamanho de partícula em torno de 3,5 nm, de acordo com as análises de DRX e MET. A partir das voltametrias cíclicas observa-se que para os eletrocatalisadores de PdCu/C e PdNi/C quanto maior a quantidade de Cu ou Ni, respectivamente, maior a área ativa do material estudado. Análises de disco anel rotatório foram realizadas nos eletrocatalisadores demonstrando que, independente da composição estudada, a quantidade produzida de peróxido foi de no máximo 4%. Estes dados corroboram com as inclinação das retas nas análises de Koutecky-Levich, uma vez que em ambos os casos a RRO ocorre via 4 elétrons. Análises de estabilidade dos materiais demonstraram que todos eles mantiveram ou melhoraram seu desempenho diante da RRO, quando se compara os dados obtidos antes e depois de 1000 ciclos voltamétricos. Testes de tolerância ao metanol e etanol foram realizados em meia célula com todas as composições de eletrocatalisadores produzidos. Na presença tanto de metanol quanto de etanol as composições atômica de 50:50, para todos os materiais estudados, foram as que demonstraram menor influência da presença do álcool durante a varredura linear da RRO. Nas medidas realizadas em célula unitária, com relação à tolerância ao metanol durante a RRO, o eletrocatalisador que demonstrou melhor desempenho foi o PdAg/C 70:30 enquanto que na presença de etanol o eletrocatalisador que demonstrou melhor desempenho foi o PdNi/C 70:30. / Tese (Doutorado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/T / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

Exploring the Frustrated Spin-Chain Compound Linarite by NMR and Thermodynamic InvestigationsSchäpers, Markus 28 October 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Within the last decades low-dimensional frustrated quantum spin systems have attracted great interest in the field of modern research. In these systems a competition of various magnetic interactions takes place, leading to an energetically degenerated magnetic ground state, and thus to the occurrence of exotic, unconventional physical properties at low temperatures.
This thesis focuses on the quasi one-dimensional frustrated spin chain system linarite, PbCuSO4(OH)2. In this compound the basic building blocks are CuO4 plaquettes which are connected to each other along one crystallographic direction, analogue to a chain. The frustration in linarite is established due to the competition between the magnetic interactions. The nearest-neighbor magnetic spins are coupled ferromagnetically along the chain via a coupling constant J1, while the next-nearest neighbors are coupled antiferromagnetically via a coupling constant J2. For this configuration it is not possible to satisfy all magnetic couplings simultaneously, hence the system is magnetically frustrated.
In this work, comprehensive thermodynamic and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies demonstrate that linarite is one of the richest and most fascinating compounds in the class of low-dimensional frustrated magnets. By means of susceptibility, magnetization, specific heat, magnetocaloric effect, magnetostriction, and thermal-expansion measurements a rich magnetic phase diagram could be mapped out below a temperature of 2.8 K. The phase diagram contains five different magnetic regions/phases for an external magnetic field pointing along the chain direction. Based on the thermodynamic studies it was possible to calculate the exchange integrals within the frustrated J1-J2 model and extensions of it by using various theoretical approaches.
The magnetic microscopic nature of the different long-range magnetic phases present in linarite were investigated by NMR measurements and by collaborative neutron scattering experiments. The ground state (phase I) is identified as an incommensurate elliptical helical structure. Via a theoretical modelling the 1H-NMR spectrum of the ground state could be explained, revealing a rearrangement of the zero-field structure in an external magnetic field of 2.0 T used for the NMR studies. By further increasing the external field the system undergoes a complex spin flop transition in two steps (phase I - phase III - phase IV). In phase III a phase separation takes place where one part of the spins form a circular spiral structure while the remaining fraction form a simple antiferromagnetic structure. In phase IV the remaining circular spiral structure vanishes, so that all spins collectively form the antiferromagnetic collinear phase. The most peculiar physical properties studied in this thesis take place in region V at high fields, showing only tiny features in the thermodynamic properties. The magnetic spins in region V form a sine-wave modulated spin-density structure as identified via NMR and neutron investigations. It is discussed whether region V is related to a multipolar phase or if the spin-density wave structure could possibly coexist with such a phase.
