Magnetism and photoluminescence in manganese-gallium oxide nanowires with monoclinic and spinel structures

Manganese-gallium oxide nanowires were synthesized via in situ Mn doping during nanowire growth using a vapor phase evaporation method. The microstructure and composition of the products were characterized via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The field and temperature dependence of the magnetization reveal the obvious hysteresis loop and large magnitude of Curie-Weiss temperature. The photoluminescence of the manganese-gallium oxide nanowires were studied in a temperature range between 10 and 300 K. A broad green emission band was observed which is attributed to the T-4(1)-(6)A(1) transition in Mn2+ (3d(5)) ions. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The electrical and magnetic properties of lanthanide alkaline-earth transition-metal oxides

Five Ln(2)SrMCuO(6.5) oxides (M = Co, Ln = Y and Ho; M = Fe, Ln = Y, Ho, and Dy) were synthesized, and their crystal structures, IR spectra, and physical properties were studied. They have almost the same structure and crystallize in orthorhombic systems. Below room temperature, Y2SrFeCuO6.5, a known layered oxide, shows antiferromagnetic behavior, but the four new oxides are paramagnetic. Y2SrFeCuO6.5 fits the Curie-Weiss law in the temperature range 300-100 K, but Y2SrCoCuO6.5 shows complex magnetic behavior because of the disproportion of some Co+3 to Co+2 and Co+4 The five oxides are all p-type semiconductors in the measured temperature range and have large electrical resistivities at room temperature.

Structure, electric and magnetic properties of new compounds CdYMWO7 (M = Cr and Mn)

Two new compounds with the formula of CdYMWO7 (M = Cr, Mn) were prepared by solid state reaction. They crystallized with orthorhombic structure with the cell parameters of a = 11.7200 Angstrom, b = 7.1779 Angstrom, c = 6.9805 Angstrom (CdYCrWO7), and a = 11.7960 Angstrom, b = 6.1737 Angstrom, c = 7.6530 Angstrom (CdYMnWO7). These compounds are insulators with high resistivities at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of CdYMWO7 (M = Cr and Mn) show Curie-Weiss Law's behaviors from 80 to 300 K. The magnetic moments at room temperature fit very well with those corresponding to Cr3+ and Mn3+ ions. This suggests that both Cr and Mn ions exist in + 3 oxidation state in CdYMWO7 compounds.

Preparation, structure and some physical properties of scheelite-related AgLnMo(2)O(8) compounds

We present the synthesis of the AgLnMo(2)O(8) oxides with Ln = La-Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb and Y. These compounds represent a scheelite-related structure type characterized by MoO42- tetrahedrons. The IR spectra show three transmittance bands in the region of 1000-400 cm(-1), which correspond respectively to the nu(1), nu(2), and nu(3) modes of the tetrahedral MoO42- groups. All of AgLnMo(2)O(8) are insulator materials at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibilities of AgLnMo(2)O(8) (Ln = Ce-Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb) show Curie-Weiss Law behaviors with two anomalies occurring at low temperature, whereas AgLaMo2O8 and AgYMo2O8 both exhibit diamagnetic properties as expected. The magnetic moments at room temperature fit very well with those corresponding to rare earth sesquioxides. This suggests that rare earth ions exist in +3 oxidation state in all AgLnMo(2)O(8) compounds.

Studies on the synthetic, structural, electrical and magnetic properties of Ln(n)MCo(n)O(3n+1) (Ln=Sm, Gd; M=Sr, Ba; n=1,2)

Three new oxides Sm2SrCo2O7, Sm2BaCo2O7 and Gd2SrCo2O7 have been synthesized successfully by solid state reaction mathod. The X-Ray diffraction spectra show that they are all isostructural with Sr3Ti2O7, and Ln(2)SrCo(2)O(7)(Ln=Sm,Gd) crystallized in tetragonal system, Sm2BaCo2O7 in orthrhombic system. The Co-O bonds in CoO2 planes of Ln(2)SrCo(2)O(7) are shorter than those of LnSrCoO(4)(Ln=Sm, Gd), and so their delectrons are more delocalized and their electrical resistivities are smaller. The electrical resistivities versus temperature in the range 300 similar to 1100K showed that the five brides show the characters of weakly localized systems. In the lower temperature range, the magnetic behaviors of Gd2SrCo2O7 and GdSrCoO4 fit Curie-Weiss law well, and the magnetic exchange reaction in CoO2 sublattices of Gd2SrCo2O7 is ferromagnetic, but that of GdSrCoO4 is antiferromagnetic. The other three oxides with Sm3+ showed complex magnetic behaviors which is perhaps related with the complexity of Sm3+.

PREPARATION STRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES OF NEW SILVER LANTHANIDE MOLYBDENUM OXIDES [AGLNMO(2)O(8)(LN=LA-ND AND SM)]

We present the synthesis of AgLnMo(2)O(8) compounds with Ln = La-Nd and Sm. These compounds represent a scheelite-type structure characterized by MoO4- tetrahedrons. IR spectra show five absorption peaks in the region of 1000-400cm(-1), around 800cm(-1) and 400cm(-1), which correspond to the modes of the tetrahedral MoO42- groups. All of AgLnMo(2)O(8) (Ln = La-Nd and Sm) oxides are dielectric materials at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility ofAgLnMo(2)O(8) (Ln = Ce-Nd and Sm) shows Curie-Weiss law behavior from 100K to 300K. This indicates that both Ce and Pr exist in +3 oxidation state in AgLnMo(2)O(8). For AgLaMo2O8, diamagnetic properties are found as expected.

SEMICONDUCTOR TO METAL TRANSITION IN LN(2)MO(3)O(9) COMPOUNDS

Ln(2)Mo(3)O(12) and Ce2Mo3O12.25 are reduced by hydrogen yielding Mo4+ oxides of the formula Ln(2)Mo(3)O(9) (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd and Dy). The new compound Ce2Mo3O9 has the same structure as other Ln(2)Mo(3)O(9) compounds. All of the products are single phase materials and crystallize in a tetragonal scheelite type structure with Mo2O6 clusters. The IR spectra of the Ln(2)Mo(3)O(9) oxides show two absorption bands. These compounds are black n-type semiconductors, and exhibit Curie-Weiss Law behavior from 100K to 250K. Temperature dependence of the electrical properties of these compounds were measured for the first time, and a semiconductor-metal transition was found at about 250 degrees C.

STRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES OF NEW PHASE OXIDE LA2MOO5

The compound La2MoO5 has a cubic fluorite symmetry. There is strong interaction between the two molybdenum ions (IV). The cubic-La2MoO5 oxide contains separated Mo2O8 clusters and is a semiconductor. The electrical resistivity measurement shows a semiconductor-metal transition around 250 degrees C. Temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility represents the Curie-Weiss law. The compound La2MoO5 exhibits a paramagnetic behaviour from 170-250 K.

STUDIES ON THE SYNTHETIC, STRUCTURAL, ELECTRICAL, AND MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF THE NEW LAYERED OXIDES LN(2)MCO(2)O(7) (LN=SM, GD, M=SR, BA)

Three new oxides Ln(2)MCo(2)O(7) (Ln = Sm, Gd; M = Sr, Ba) have been synthesized in solid state reaction method. The powder X-ray diffraction spectra show that they are all isostructural with Sr3Ti2O7. The electrical resistivities in the temperature range 300-1100 K show that they are all semiconductors, and a transition to metals is observed at 1053, 1053, and 573 K for Sm2SrCo2O7, Gd2SrCo2O7, and Sm2BaCo2O7, respectively. The magnetic suspectivities of Gd2SrCo2O7 in the temperature range 300-673 K fit the Curie-Weiss law well. A plateau is observed in the curves of Sm(2)MCo(2)O(7) (M = Sr, Ba) which is attributed to the configuration state change of Co(III) from low spin to high spin. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.

VALENCE AND MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF YSR2-XCAXV3O9-Y

Compounds YSr22-xCaxVO9-y have an orthorhombic symmetry. XPS results show that the vanadium ions exist in the mixing valence in the system. Temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility represents the Curie-Weiss law. The valence state of vanadium obviously affects the magnetic properties of YSr2-xCaxV3O9-y. The system exhibits a paramagnetic behavior from 300K to 1073K.

Structure and magnetic properties of new compounds CdYFeWO7

The solid solutions of CdYFeWO7, which are cubic pyrochlores of the type A(2)B(2)O(7), have been prepared and their structures were determined using Ab initio method. Rietveld refinement of the powder XRD data showed that CdYFeWO7 adopted cubic (Fd-3m) structure, while oxides crystallized in a defect-pyrochlore structure where both O (48f) and O'(8b) sites were partially occupied, and the frustrated cations sublattice precluded long range ordering of Fe/W in the pyrochlore structure. Charge distribution analysis also suggested incomplete occupation of different oxygen sites, thus the compound was non-stoichiometric, with the formula CdYFeW0.982O6.94, Magnetic measurements were carried out to find that Fe ions were in the high spin trivalent state. Curie Weiss paramagnetism down to similar to 5 K and the characteristic superposition between FC and ZFC suggested spin liquid rather than spin glass state.

EXTENDED SOLUBILITY AND SPIN-GLASS BEHAVIOR IN A AG-GD SOLID-SOLUTION PREPARED BY MECHANICAL ALLOYING

The effects of mechanical alloying on the solubility in a Ag-Gd solid solution have been investigated. The study shows that the solubility of Gd in Ag can be extended to about 5 at. % Gd by mechanical alloying from the equilibrium solubility of less than 0.95 at. % Gd. Ag85Gd15 prepared by mechanical alloying exhibits a spin-glass-type transition at similar to 5 K. A Curie-Weiss behavior at higher temperatures and x-ray patterns of the material indicate that Gd atoms are either dissolved in the Ag matrix or in the form of small clusters of diameters of a few nanometers;

Ln_nMCo_nO_(3n+1)(Ln=Sm,Gd;M=Sr,Ba;n=1,2)的合成、结构、电和磁性质研究

用固相反应法合成了三个新的交生相氧化物:Sm_2SrCo_2O_7,Gd_2SrCO_2O_7和Sm_2BaCo_2O_7.它们均具有Sr_3Ti_2O_7型的结构,其中Sm_2BaCo_2O_7属于正交晶系,其它属于四方晶系.与LnSrCoO_4相比,Ln_2SrCo_2O_7(Ln=Sm,Gd)中CoO_2平面上的Co-O键缩短,电子离域化趋势增强,导电能力提高.在300～1100K之间,电阻率与温度关系表明,五个氧化物均表现弱定域系统的特性. 300～1100K之间的磁化率与温度关系表明,在较低温度下,GdSrCoO_4和Gd_2SrCo_2O_7符合Curie-Weiss定律,但前者的CoO_2平面上的磁交换作用是反铁磁性的,而后者是铁磁性的;含Sm~(3+)的三个氧化物表现出较为复杂的磁性质,这可能与Sm~(3+)离子磁性质的复杂性有关.

Hole-mediated electric field tunable high Curie temperature in Mn-doped wurtzite ZnO nanowires

The hole-mediated Curie temperature in Mn-doped wurtzite ZnO nanowires is investigated using the k center dot p method and mean field model. The Curie temperature T-C as a function of the hole density has many peaks for small Mn concentration (x(eff)) due to the density of states of one-dimensional quantum wires. The peaks of T-C are merged by the carriers' thermal distribution when x(eff) is large. High Curie temperature T-C > 400 K is found in (Zn,Mn)O nanowires. A transverse electric field changes the Curie temperature a lot. (Zn,Mn)O nanowires can be tuned from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic by a transverse electric field at room temperature.
