摘要:

在铁磁记忆合金Ni_(1.75)Mn_(1.25)Ga中观察到磁电阻随温度的负-正-负转变行为。在300和120 K之间的奥氏体相中,由于s-d散射,MR是负的。奇怪的是,低于120 K的MR是正的,而在马氏体相的更低温度下,MR又是负的。正的MR不能用洛伦兹贡献来解释,而是与磁跃迁有关。从从头计算密度泛函理论得到了这一点的证据,在120 K时磁化强度下降,电阻率上升。理论分析表明,Mn原子的局部磁矩之间具有反铁磁排列的亚铁磁态是能量上有利的基态。在马氏体相,有两个竞争的因素,支配的MR行为:占主导地位的负趋势,由于在孪晶和畴界的电子散射的减少饱和场;和较弱的正趋势,由于亚铁磁性的性质的磁性状态。MR表现出加热和冷却之间的滞后,这与马氏体相变的一阶性质有关。

英文摘要:

A negative-positive-negative switching behavior of magnetoresistance (MR) with temperature is observed in a ferromagnetic shape memory alloy Ni_1.75Mn_1.25Ga. In the austenitic phase between 300 and 120 K, MR is negative due to s-d scattering. Curiously, below 120K MR is positive, while at still lower temperatures in the martensitic phase, MR is negative again. The positive MR cannot be explained by Lorentz contribution and is related to a magnetic transition. Evidence for this is obtained from ab initio density functional theory, a decrease in magnetization and resistivity upturn at 120 K. Theory shows that a ferrimagnetic state with anti-ferromagnetic alignment between the local magnetic moments of the Mn atoms is the energetically favoured ground state. In the martensitic phase, there are two competing factors that govern the MR behavior: a dominant negative trend up to the saturation field due to the decrease of electron scattering at twin and domain boundaries; and a weaker positive trend due to the ferrimagnetic nature of the magnetic state. MR exhibits a hysteresis between heating and cooling that is related to the first order nature of the martensitic phase transition.
