摘要:

采用X射线衍射、电输运和磁化强度测量,结合超晶胞GGA+U计算,研究了不同浓度下La Co $_{1-x}$ Rh $_{x}$ O $_3$钙钛矿系列($x=0.02-0.5$)中铑的掺杂.证明Co $^{3+}$和Rh $^{3+}$之间没有电荷转移。基于低自旋(LS)态的Co $^{3+}$的LaCoO $_3$的抗磁基态甚至被少量Rh掺杂所干扰。驱动力是与将大Rh $^{3+}$阳离子结合到小LS Co $^{3+}$阳离子的基质中有关的弹性能,其通过在插入的Rh原子的下一个最近位点中形成高自旋(HS)状态的大Co $^{3+}$而弛豫。随着温度的升高,Co $^{3+}$在HS态的布居数通过热激发而增加,在室温附近得到饱和相,该饱和相由小阳离子(LS Co $^{3+}$)和大阳离子(HS Co $^{3+}$和LS Rh $^{3+}$)组成的双钙钛矿结构。的稳定作用的弹性和电子能量的贡献证明在超晶胞计算稀释铑浓度相比,其他掺杂剂与各种三价离子半径。

英文摘要:

The rhodium doping in the LaCo$_{1-x}$Rh$_{x}$O$_3$ perovskite series ($x=0.02-0.5$) has been studied by X-ray diffraction, electric transport and magnetization measurements, complemented by electronic structure GGA+U calculations in supercell for different concentration regimes. No charge transfer between Co$^{3+}$ and Rh$^{3+}$ is evidenced. The diamagnetic ground state of LaCoO$_3$, based on Co$^{3+}$ in low-spin (LS) state, is disturbed even by a small doping of Rh. The driving force is the elastic energy connected with incorporation of a large Rh$^{3+}$ cation into the matrix of small LS Co$^{3+}$ cations, which is relaxed by formation of large Co$^{3+}$ in high-spin (HS) state in the next-nearest sites to the inserted Rh atom. With increasing temperature, the population of Co$^{3+}$ in HS state increases through thermal excitation, and a saturated phase is obtained close to room temperature, consisting of a nearest-neighbor correlation of small (LS Co$^{3+}$) and large (HS Co$^{3+}$ and LS Rh$^{3+}$) cations in a kind of double perovskite structure. The stabilizing role of elastic and electronic energy contributions is demonstrated in supercell calculations for dilute Rh concentration compared to other dopants with various trivalent ionic radius.
