SrTiO $_3$中缺陷相关铁磁性的研究

A Search for Defect Related Ferromagnetism in SrTiO$_3$

D. A. Crandles, B. DesRoches, F. S. Razavi

摘要:

在从各种供应商购买的商业SrTiO $_3$衬底中观察到室温铁磁滞后。结果表明,铁磁信号来自未抛光的表面。在未抛光的表面上不能使用X射线衍射或能量色散X射线光谱检测表面杂质相。然而,表面无序(x射线衍射峰线宽)和铁磁性之间的可能的相关性进行了观察。Ar离子轰击(10 keV-90 keV)可产生表面层无序,但未发现诱导铁磁性。发现在600至1100 $^\circ$ C的温度范围内退火的衬底根据退火是否在空气中或在真空中进行而不同地改变滞后曲线。相同的退火行为观察到,如果基板是人工掺入铁。这表明,所购买的SrTiO $_3$的铁磁滞后可能是由于未抛光表面的Fe污染。此外,它表明,没有铁磁性观察到的样品中含有$10^{19}-10^{21}$ cm $^{-3}$的氧空位,如果所有的面被抛光。

英文摘要:

Room temperature ferromagnetic hysteresis is observed in commercial SrTiO$_3$ substrates purchased from a variety of suppliers. It is shown that the ferromagnetic signal comes from the unpolished surfaces. Surface impurity phases cannot be detected using either x-ray diffraction or energy dispersive x-ray spectra on the unpolished surfaces. However, a possible correlation between surface disorder (xray diffraction peak linewidth) and ferromagnetism is observed. Ar ion bombardment (10keV-90 keV) can be used to produce surface layer disorder but is not found to induce ferromagnetism. Annealing of the substrates at temperatures ranging from 600 to 1100 $^\circ$C is found to alter the hysteresis curves differently depending on whether the annealing is performed in air or in vacuum. Identical annealing behaviour is observed if the substrates are artificially spiked with iron. This suggests that the ferromagnetic hysteresis of as purchased SrTiO$_3$ could be due to Fe contamination of the unpolished surfaces. In addition, it is shown that no ferromagnetism is observed in samples that contain $10^{19}-10^{21}$ cm$^{-3}$ of oxygen vacancies if all the faces are polished.
