摘要:

在半掺杂Pr_(0.50)A_(0.50)CoO_3金属钙钛矿中,当温度接近100 K时,自旋-晶格耦合导致A=Ca和A=Sr的磁结构转变。然而,Pr0.50Sr0.50CoO3(PSCO)的基态磁性与Pr0.50Ca0.50CoO3的基态磁性有很大的不同,其中部分Pr 3+到Pr 4+的价移和Co自旋跃迁使得系统在跃迁以下绝缘。这项工作研究并描述了Ima-至-I4/mcm对称性变化[Padilla-Pantoja等人,Inorg.Chem.53,12297(2014)]与PSCO的原始磁性行为对温度和外部磁场之间的关系。研究了铁磁相FM 1和FM2在磁结构转变(TS 1 =120 K)前后的变化。PSCO的FM 2相由[100] FM畴组成,具有磁对称性Im'm 'a(mz=0)。FM 1相的磁空间群为Fm'm'm(其中mx=my)。中子数据分析结合磁力测量和早期报告的结果同意磁化轴的重新取向45度内的a-b平面内的过渡,其中系统保留其金属特性。在TS 1下方存在的共轭磁畴是在宏观磁化中观察到的异常的起源处,所述共轭磁畴都具有Fm ′ m ′ m对称性,但具有沿着四元晶胞的xy平面中的对角线的垂直自旋取向。相对小的场m0 H> 30 mT能够在a-b平面内重新定向磁化,而更高的场(m0 H,[H//z] >1.2 T,在2K下)对于使Co矩垂直于a-b平面对准是必要的。这种自旋重取向,其中的轨道和自旋分量的Co时刻旋转加入45度,没有观察到与其他镧系元素不同的镨。

英文摘要:

In half-doped Pr0.50A0.50CoO3 metallic perovskites, the spin-lattice coupling brings about distinct magnetostructural transitions for A=Ca and A=Sr at temperatures close to 100 K. However, the ground magnetic properties of Pr0.50Sr0.50CoO3 (PSCO) strongly differ from Pr0.50Ca0.50CoO3 ones, where a partial Pr3+ to Pr4+ valence shift and Co spin transition makes the system insulating below the transition. This work investigates and describes the relationship between the Imma-to-I4/mcm symmetry change [Padilla-Pantoja et al, Inorg. Chem. 53, 12297 (2014)] and the original magnetic behavior of PSCO versus temperature and external magnetic fields. The FM1 and FM2 ferromagnetic phases, above and below the magnetostructural transition (TS1=120 K) have been investigated. The FM2 phase of PSCO is composed of [100] FM domains, with magnetic symmetry Im'm'a (mz=0). The magnetic space group of the FM1 phase is Fm'm'm (with mx=my). Neutron data analyses in combination with magnetometry and earlier reports results agrees with a reorientation of the magnetization axis by 45 deg within the a-b plane across the transition, in which the system retains its metallic character. The presence below TS1 of conjugated magnetic domains, both of Fm'm'm symmetry but having perpendicular spin orientations along the diagonals in the xy-plane of the tetragonal unit cell, is at the origin of the anomalies observed in the macroscopic magnetization. A relatively small field m0H > 30 mT is able to reorient the magnetization within the a-b plane, whereas a higher field (m0H,[H//z] >1.2 T at 2K) is necessary to align the Co moments perpendicular to a-b plane. Such a spin reorientation, in which the orbital and spin components of the Co moment rotate joined by 45deg, was not observed with other lanthanides different to praseodymium.
