摘要:

实验和从头计算研究了Cu取代对CuMnAs四元相稳定性的影响。合成了不同成分的多晶样品Cu $_{1+x}$ Mn $_{1-x}$ As $(x = 0 - 0.5)$。发现通过用$x$ ~ 0.1或更高的量的Cu取代Mn来稳定CuMnAs的四方相。这一观察结果是支持从头计算的总能量的tetraxite和正交相;随着铜含量的增加,tetraxite相的青睐。小的变化,从而允许选择性地生长这两个阶段之一,具有鲜明和独特的功能,反铁磁自旋电子学。磁化率和差示扫描量热法的测量表明,四元Cu $_{1+x}$ Mn $_{1-x}$ As具有反铁磁行为,对于最高Mn含量的样品,最大Néel温度$T_N$ = 507 K,随着Mn含量的降低而降低。

英文摘要:

The effect of Cu substitution on the stability of the CuMnAs tetragonal phase was studied both experimentally and by ab initio calculations. Polycrystalline samples with various compositions Cu$_{1+x}$Mn$_{1-x}$As $(x = 0 - 0.5)$ were synthetized. The tetragonal phase of CuMnAs is found to be stabilized by substituting Mn by Cu in the amount of $x$ ~ 0.1 or higher. This observation is supported by ab initio calculations of the total energy of the tetragonal and orthorhombic phases; with increasing Cu content the tetragonal phase is favoured. Small variations of composition thus allow to grow selectively one of these two phases with distinct and unique features for antiferromagnetic spintronics. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility and differential scanning calorimetry have shown that the tetragonal Cu$_{1+x}$Mn$_{1-x}$As has an antiferromagnetic behaviour with the maximum Néel temperature $T_N$ = 507 K for the highest Mn content samples, decreasing with the decreasing Mn content.
