Fe3O4薄膜Verwey转变附近磁性的演化

Evolution of magnetic properties in the vicinity of the Verwey transition in Fe3O4 thin films

X. H. Liu, W. Liu, Z. D. Zhang

摘要:

本文系统地研究了在MgO(001)、MgAl_2 O_4(MAO)(001)和SrTiO_3(STO)(001)衬底上外延生长的高质量Fe_3 O_4薄膜的磁性演化,特别是在Verwey转变温度(TV)附近的矫顽力和剩磁比。我们观察到磁化强度、矫顽力和剩磁比在TV处的快速变化,这与不同薄膜的电阻率-温度[ \r{ho}(T)]曲线的行为一致。特别地,我们发现MgO上的薄膜与MAO和STO上的薄膜有很大不同的磁行为,其中畴尺寸和应变状态起着非常重要的作用。磁化率主要由磁畴尺寸决定,而退磁过程主要取决于应变状态。此外,我们观察到的剩磁比在电视上的厚度为MgO上生长的薄膜反转:从40 nm的快速增强到急剧下降的200 nm厚的膜,和临界厚度约为80 nm。最后,我们发现在MgO衬底上生长的Fe_3 O_4薄膜中,在T_V附近存在明显的矫顽力(或剩磁比)随温度变化的滞后回线,对应于\r{ho}(T)曲线的滞后回线。

英文摘要:

We have systematically studied the evolution of magnetic properties, especially the coercivity and the remanence ratio in the vicinity of the Verwey transition temperature (TV ), of high-quality epitaxial Fe3O4 thin films grown on MgO (001), MgAl2O4 (MAO) (001), and SrTiO3 (STO) (001) substrates. We observed rapid change of magnetization, coercivity, and remanence ratio at TV , which are consistent with the behaviors of resistivity versus temperature [\r{ho}(T )] curves for the different thin films. In particular, we found quite different magnetic behaviors for the thin films onMgOfrom those onMAOand STO, inwhich the domain size and the strain state play very important roles. The coercivity is mainly determined by the domain size but the demagnetization process is mainly dependent on the strain state. Furthermore, we observed a reversal of remanence ratio at TV with thickness for the thin films grown on MgO: from a rapid enhancement for 40-nm- to a sharp drop for 200-nm-thick film, and the critical thickness is about 80 nm. Finally, we found an obvious hysteretic loop of coercivity (or remanence ratio) with temperature around TV , corresponding to the hysteretic loop of the \r{ho}(T ) curve, in Fe3O4 thin film grown on MgO.
