摘要:

用中子衍射方法测定了锌-$_x$-Mn $_{3-x}$-O $_4$(其中$x$ = 0,0.25,0.5,0.75和1)的钙钛矿固溶体的均匀、纯相的多晶样品。具有$x$ = 0.25、0.5和0.75的样品在低温下表现出移位的磁滞回线,这是在磁性复合材料中通常看到的交换偏置的特征。我们提出,不寻常的磁性行为出现的结果,亚铁磁和反铁磁区域是不同的,但缺乏长程有序的纳米级混合物。虽然在AC磁测量中看到一些玻璃态行为,但其幅度不足以解释所观察到的戏剧性交换偏置。此外,等温和热释电磁化测量区分这种材料从纯自旋玻璃。标题系统提供了一个铁磁Mn $_3$ O $_4$与反铁磁ZnMn $_2$ O $_4$合金化的见解,其中不同的磁性簇生长和渗透,以产生竞争订单之间的平稳过渡。

英文摘要:

Bulk specimens of the hetaerolite solid solution Zn$_x$Mn$_{3-x}$O$_4$, with $x$ = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 have been prepared as homogeneous, phase-pure polycrystalline samples as ascertained by neutron diffraction measurements. Samples with $x$ = 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 exhibit shifted magnetic hysteresis loops at low temperature, characteristic of exchange bias typically seen in magnetic composites. We propose that the unusual magnetic behavior arises as a result of a nanoscale mixture of ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic regions that are distinct but lack long-range order. While some glassy behavior is seen in AC magnetic measurements, its magnitude is not sufficient to account for the observed dramatic exchange bias. Furthermore, isothermal and thermoremanent magnetization measurements distinguish this material from a pure spin glass. The title system offers insights into the alloying of a ferrimagnet Mn$_3$O$_4$ with an antiferromagnet ZnMn$_2$O$_4$ wherein distinct magnetic clusters grow and percolate to produce a smooth transition between competing orders.
