The anisotropic physical properties of single crystals of orthorhombic PtSn4 are reported for magnetic fields up to 140 kOe, applied parallel and perpendicular to the crystallographic b-axis. The magnetic susceptibility has an approximately temperature independent behavior and reveals an anisotropy between ac-plane and b-axis. Clear de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in fields as low as 5 kOe and at temperatures as high as 30 K were detected in magnetization isotherms. The thermoelectric power and resistivity of PtSn4 show the strong temperature and magnetic field dependencies. A change of the thermoelectric power at H = 140 kOe is observed as high as ~ 50 mu-V/K. Single crystals of PtSn4 exhibit very large transverse magnetoresistance of ~ 5x10^5% for the ac-plane and of ~ 1.4x10^5% for the b-axis resistivity at 1.8 K and 140 kOe, as well as pronounced Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. The magnetoresistance of PtSn4 appears to obey Kohler's rule in the temperature and field range measured. The Hall resistivity shows a linear temperature dependence at high temperatures followed by a sign reversal around 25 K which is consistent with thermoelectric power measurements. The observed quantum oscillations and band structure calculations indicate that PtSn4 has three dimensional Fermi surfaces.
Spin Transport in Antiferromagnetic Insulators Mediated by Magnetic Correlations
我们报告了一个系统的研究自旋输运在反铁磁(AF)绝缘体具有广泛的有序温度范围。自旋电流动态注入从Y3 Fe 5 O 12(YIG)到各种AF绝缘体中的Pt/绝缘体/YIG三层。在AF绝缘体中观察到了强有力的长距离自旋输运,这与AF有序温度具有很强的相关性。我们发现一个惊人的线性关系之间的自旋衰减长度在AF和阻尼增强YIG,表明磁相关的AF绝缘体以及在AF/YIG接口的自旋输运在磁性绝缘体中的关键作用。
Anisotropy in the magnetic and electrical transport properties of Fe1-xCrxSb2
本文研究了Fe_(1-x)Cr_xSb_2(0<= x <=1)单晶的磁输运和电输运性质的各向异性。随着Cr逐渐取代Fe,系统的磁基态由顺磁向反铁磁演化。电输运中的各向异性随着Cr取代的增加而减小,并在x=0.5时消失。我们发现,在0.4<= x <=0.75的低温下,变程跳跃(VRH)导电机制占主导地位。
Magnetic Bloch Skyrmion Transport by Electric Fields in a Composite Bilayer

采用密度泛函方法研究了Fe掺杂到宽禁带尖晶石ZnGa $_2$ O $_4$的四面体和八面体阳离子位的结构.我们计算了不同的取代的电子结构,并讨论了考虑不同近似的交换相关势的每种情况下的磁性和输运性质。我们表明,对于某些掺杂的情况下,获得的预测行为的显着差异取决于所采用的交换相关电位。概述了掺杂系统作为磁性半导体的可能应用。
