摘要:

对磁化和电极化的控制,在为数据存储以及传感器或天线等器件定制材料方面具有吸引力。在磁电材料中,这些自由度紧密耦合,使极化可由磁场控制、磁化可由电场控制;但对于单相磁电材料而言,该效应的强度仍是应用面临的挑战。我们证明,混合各向异性反铁磁体 LiNi$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$PO$_4$ 的磁电性质会因在过渡金属位用 Fe$^{2+}$ 取代一部分 Ni$^{2+}$ 离子而受到深刻影响。这引入了随机的、随晶格位点变化的单离子各向异性能,并导致体系磁对称性降低。相应地,母体化合物 LiNiPO$_4$ 和 LiFePO$_4$ 中受对称性禁戒的磁电耦合被解锁,且主导耦合增强了两个数量级。我们的结果证明了混合各向异性磁体在调控磁电性质方面的潜力。

英文摘要:

Control of magnetization and electric polarization is attractive in relation to tailoring materials for data storage and devices such as sensors or antennae. In magnetoelectric materials, these degrees of freedom are closely coupled, allowing polarization to be controlled by a magnetic field, and magnetization by an electric field, but the magnitude of the effect remains a challenge in the case of single-phase magnetoelectrics for application. We demonstrate that the magnetoelectric properties of the mixed-anisotropy antiferromagnet LiNi$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$PO$_4$ are profoundly affected by replacing a fraction of the Ni$^{2+}$ ions with Fe$^{2+}$ on the transition metal site. This introduces random site-dependent single-ion anisotropy energies and causes a lowering of the magnetic symmetry of the system. In turn, magnetoelectric couplings that are symmetry-forbidden in the parent compounds, LiNiPO$_4$ and LiFePO$_4$, are unlocked and the dominant coupling is enhanced by two orders of magnitude. Our results demonstrate the potential of mixed-anisotropy magnets for tuning magnetoelectric properties.
