摘要:

本文研究了在TbMnO $_3$的八面体位置上用Fe $^{3+}$取代Mn $^{3+}$对磁相序、铁电和磁电性能的影响,并保持Fe $^{3+}$的浓度低于5%.研究了Fe $^{3+}$浓度和外加磁场对比热、介电常数和电极化的强度的温度依赖性。从实验结果中观察到随着Fe $^{3+}$取代的增加,电极化的强度的强烈降低,在4%的浓度以上消失。然而,在该范围内,通过增加Fe $^{3+}$浓度获得了电极化的强度的磁灵敏度的显著增加。高于该值,出现非极性的弱铁磁相,与Dzyalowshinskiii-Moriya模型的预测非常一致。这一行为揭示了Fe $^{3+}$在八面体位置的取代对TbMn $_{1-x}$ Fe $_x$ O $_3$体系的磁相序列、极性和磁电行为的重要影响。从这项工作中获得的结果,可以理解,这种行为是不相关的eg电子配置,而是铁磁和反铁磁相互作用之间的竞争,这是非常敏感的本地字段和扭曲。

英文摘要:

This work addresses the effect of substituting Mn$^{3+}$ by Fe$^{3+}$ at the octahedral site of TbMnO$_3$ on the magnetic phase sequence, ferroelectric and magnetoelectric properties, keeping the Fe$^{3+}$ concentration below 5%. The temperature dependence of the specific heat, dielectric permittivity and electric polarization was studied as a function of Fe$^{3+}$ concentration and applied magnetic field. From the experimental results a strong decrease of the electric polarization with increasing Fe$^{3+}$ substitution is observed, vanishing above a concentration of 4%. However, within this range, a significant increase of the magnetic sensitivity of the electric polarization is obtained by increasing Fe$^{3+}$ concentration. Above that value, a non-polar, weak ferromagnetic phase emerges, in good agreement with the predictions of the Dzyalowshinskii-Moriya model. This behavior reveals the crucial effect of Fe$^{3+}$ substitution in octahedral sites on the magnetic phase sequence, polar and magnetoelectric behavior of the TbMn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$O$_3$ system. From the results obtained in this work, it is understood that this behavior is not associated with the eg electronic configuration, but instead to the competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions, which is very sensitive to both local fields and distortions.
