Combined effect of 2D nature and structural glass behaviour and true magnetic contribution to the low-temperature heat capacity of layered double hydroxides [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2025	Applied Clay Science Vol. 266, pp. 107695	DOI	PDF
Abstract: Heat capacity of cobalt-aluminium and magnesium-aluminium layered double hydroxides (LDH) with the divalent-to-trivalent cations ratio (n) of 2 and 3, and intercalated with NO₃⁻, CO₃²⁻ and OH⁻, was measured as a function of temperature between 2 and 100 K. Magnetic contribution to the heat capacity (C_mag) of Co_nAl LDH was extracted from comparison of the C(T) dependences with the respective reduced dependences of their non-magnetic counterparts, Mg_nAl LDH. At the lowest measured temperatures, the magnetic contribution to the heat capacity (C_mag) of Co-containing LDH was found to be almost two orders of magnitude bigger than their lattice contribution. In a zero magnetic field, the low-temperature C_mag of Co₂Al LDH was measured to be proportional to T^2.6, while for Co₃Al LDH, C_mag ∼ T² was observed. An application of an external magnetic field was revealed to converge these dependences to C_mag ∼ T³ in compounds with both n = 2 and 3. However, the conversion in Co₂Al LDH occurred at lower values of external magnetic field (50 kOe) than that in Co₃Al LDH (90 kOe). It was revealed from the C(T) behaviour of the non-magnetic LDH at the lowest measured temperatures that they possess the features typical for both a 2D solid and a structural glass. The reduced C(T)/T³ heat capacity of Mg_nAl LDH intercalated with nitrate was found to demonstrate a so-called boson peak, which is a manifestation of a glassy state. The observed low-temperature structural glassy state in LDH was associated with the disorder of the intercalated species.

Abstract: Frequency-dependent magnetic behaviour of cobalt-aluminium layered double hydroxides (LDH) with the Co/Al ratio of 2 and 3, was studied between 2 and 300 K. It was found from analysis of the temperature-dependent ac magnetic susceptibility that these LDH exhibit a magnetic cluster spin glass behaviour regardless of their basal spacing value and the Co/Al ratio as evidenced by E_A/k_BT₀ > 1 relation obtained using Vogel-Fulcher law. The obtained values of Mydosh parameters in the range of 0.017-0.052 suggest that some of these materials are not far from the canonical spin glasses, implying a rather small size of the magnetic clusters.

Abstract: The magnetic susceptibility χ of single-crystal antiferromagnet FeGe₂ (T_N = 289 K) was measured in the temperature range from 4.2 to 300 K in a magnetic field H up to 40 kOe applied along the main crystallographic axes. For the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state at low temperatures, a strong increase in χ is observed with increasing H applied along the [100] axis, which reaches saturation at H ≥ H₀ ∼ 11 kOe. It is assumed that this behavior is associated with a field-induced change in the AFM domain structure, and the single-domain state is realized in a field above H₀ with the AFM axis perpendicular to the field direction. The study of χ under the uniaxial P_a and uniform P pressures in a wide temperature range has revealed an anomalously large increase in χ in AFM state with increasing uniaxial pressure for P_a \|\| H \|\| [100] at H ≪ H₀. The observed growth of χ saturates at pressure P_a ≥ P_a^∗ ≃ 1.5 kbar and suggests the formation of the single-domain state for the above conditions. The values of uniform pressure effect on χ was found to lie in the range dlnχ / dP = - (2-3) Mbar^–1, being weakly dependent on the magnetic state and field direction. In addition, the uniform pressure effect on the transition temperature between two AFM structures in FeGe₂, T_M ≃ 263 K, was found to be weak.

Magnetic ordering in Co²⁺-containing layered double hydroxides via the low-temperature heat capacity and magnetisation study [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2023	Applied Clay Science Vol. 233, pp. 106843	DOI	PDF
Abstract: The low-temperature heat capacity and the magnetisation of Co²⁺_nAl³⁺ layered double hydroxides (LDH) with the cobalt-to-aluminium ratio n = 2 and 3 and intercalated with different anions have been studied in a wide range of magnetic fields up to 50 kOe. The heat capacity, C(T), was found to demonstrate a Schottky-like anomaly observed as a broad local maximum in the temperature dependence below 10 K. The effect is caused by a splitting of the ground-state Kramers doublet of Co²⁺ in the internal exchange field and correlates with magnetic ordering in these LDH. In low applied fields, the temperature-dependent dc magnetic susceptibility demonstrates a pronounced rise, which is associated with an onset of magnetic ordering. Both the heat capacity anomaly and the magnetic susceptibility peak are more pronounced for the LDH with n = 2 than for those with n = 3. This feature is associated with an excess of the honeycomb-like CoAl coordination (which corresponds to a 2:1 CoAl ordering) over the statistical cation distribution in Co₂Al LDH, while a rather random cobalt-aluminium distribution is typical for Co₃Al LDH. The temperature of the Schottky-like anomaly measured in a zero field is independent of the interlayer distance. Application of the magnetic field results in a widening of the anomaly range and a shift to higher temperatures. The observed experimental data are typical for a cluster spin glass ground state.

Magnetic behaviour of perovskite compositions derived from BiFeO₃ [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2021	Magnetochemistry Vol. 7(11), pp. 151	DOI	PDF
Abstract: The phase content and sequence, the crystal structure, and the magnetic properties of perovskite solid solutions of the (1-y)BiFeO_3-yBiZn_0.5Ti_0.5O₃ series (0.05 ≤ y ≤ 0.90) synthesized under high pressure have been studied. Two perovskite phases, namely the rhombohedral R3c and the tetragonal P4mm, which correspond to the structural types of the end members, BiFeO₃ and BiZn_0.5Ti_0.5O₃, respectively, were revealed in the as-synthesized samples. The rhombohedral and the tetragonal phases were found to coexist in the compositional range of 0.30 ≤ y ≤ 0.90. Magnetic properties of the BiFe_1-y[Zn_0.5Ti_0.5]_yO₃ ceramics with y < 0.30 were measured as a function of temperature. The obtained compositional variations of the normalized unit-cell volume and the Néel temperature of the BiFe_1-y[Zn_0.5Ti_0.5]_yO₃ perovskites in the range of their rhombohedral phase were compared with the respective dependences for the BiFe_1-yB_3+yO₃ perovskites (where B³⁺ = Ga, Co, Mn, Cr, and Sc). The role of the high-pressure synthesis in the formation of the antiferromagnetic states different from the modulated cycloidal one characteristic of the parent BiFeO₃ is discussed.

Magnetic-field-assisted deposition of self-assembling crystallite layers of Co²⁺-containing layered double hydroxides [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2021	Chemical Communications Vol. 57, pp. 6899-6902	DOI	PDF
Abstract: Precipitation of nanocrystallites of cobalt-aluminium layered double hydroxides in a magnetic field has been studied. In a magnetic field perpendicular to the substrate, dense and homogeneous films have been obtained. Magnetic anisotropy of the crystallites is explained by deviation from the statistical cation distribution in favour of honeycomb-like coordination of cobalt.

Magnetic diagram of the high-pressure stabilized multiferroic perovskites of the BiFe_1-ySc_yO₃ series [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2020	Crystals Vol. 10(10), pp. 950	DOI	PDF
Abstract: Magnetic properties of the high-pressure stabilized perovskite BiFe_1-ySc_yO₃ phases (0.1 ≤ y ≤ 0.9) have been studied by means of magnetization measurements and neutron diffraction. The metastable perovskites of this series undergo irreversible polymorphic transformations upon annealing, the phenomenon referred to as conversion polymorphism. It has been found that the solid solutions with y ≥ 0.70 exhibit no long-range magnetic ordering regardless of their polymorph modification, while those with y ≤ 0.60 are all antiferromagnets. Depending on the scandium content, temperature and structural distortions, three types of the antiferromagnetic orderings, involving collinear, canted and cycloidal spin arrangements, have been revealed in the phases obtained via conversion polymorphism and the corresponding magnetic phase diagram has been suggested.

Abstract: The temperature behavior of the crystal structure as well as dielectric and magnetic properties of the perovskite bismuth chromate ceramics with the 10 mol % Cr3+-to-Sc3+ substitution were studied and compared with those of the unmodified compound. Using a high-pressure synthesis, BiCrO3 and BiCr0.9Sc0.1O3 were obtained as metastable perovskite phases which are monoclinic C2/c with the √6ap × √2ap × √6ap superstructure (where ap is the primitive perovskite unit-cell parameter) under ambient conditions. At room temperature, the unit cell volume of BiCr0.9Sc0.1O3 is ∼1.3% larger than that of BiCrO3. Both perovskites undergo a reversible structural transition into a nonpolar GdFeO3-type phase (orthorhombic Pnma, √2ap × 2ap × √2ap) in the temperature ranges of 410–420 K (BiCrO3) and 470–520 K (BiCr0.9Sc0.1O3) with a relative jump of the primitive perovskite unit cell volume of about −1.6 and −2.0 respectively. Temperature dependences of the complex dielectric permittivity demonstrate anomalies in the phase transition ranges. The Pnma-to-C2/c crossover in BiCrO3 is accompanied by a decrease in the direct current (dc) conductivity, while in BiCr0.9Sc0.1O3 the conductivity increases. The onset of an antiferromagnetic order in BiCr0.9Sc0.1O3 is observed at the Néel temperature (TN) of about 85 K as compared with TN = 110 K in BiCrO3. In contrast to BiCrO3, which exhibits a spin reorientation at Tsr ∼ 72 K, no such a transition occurs in BiCr0.9Sc0.1O3.

Exchange bias effect in bulk multiferroic BiFe_0.5Sc_0.5O₃ [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2020	AIP Advances Vol. 10(4), pp. 045102	DOI	PDF
Abstract: Below the Néel temperature, T_N∼220 K, at least two nano-scale antiferromagnetic (AFM) phases coexist in the polar polymorph of the BiFe_0.5Sc_0.5O₃ perovskite; one of these phases is a weak ferromagnetic. Non-uniform structure distortions induced by high-pressure synthesis lead to competing AFM orders and a nano-scale spontaneous magnetic phase separated state of the compound. Interface exchange coupling between the AFM domains and the weak ferromagnetic domains causes unidirectional anisotropy of magnetization, resulting in the exchange bias (EB) effect. The EB field, H_EB , and the coercive field strongly depend on temperature and the strength of the cooling magnetic field. H_EB increases with an increase in the cooling magnetic field and reaches a maximum value of about 1 kOe at 5 K. The exchange field vanishes above T_N with the disappearance of long-range magnetic ordering. The effect is promising for applications in electronics as it is large enough and as it is tunable by temperature and the magnetic field applied during cooling.

Faraday effect and fragmentation of ferromagnetic layers in multilayer Co/Cu(1 1 1) nanofilms [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2020	Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials Vol. 505, pp. 166706	DOI	PDF
Abstract: With purpose to investigate influence of magnetically non-active metal layers on the Faraday effect in multilayer Ferromagnetic/Normal metal films, dependences of the Faraday rotation angles of the light polarization plane on magnetic field have been studied in multilayer [Co/Cu] nanofilms. It was revealed that the Faraday rotation φ varies with thickness of the Cu layers dCu. This φ(dCu) dependence consists of the monotonic component, namely a gradual rise of the angle with increase of dCu, and the non-monotonic one represented by two minima. The monotonic changes of the Faraday rotation were satisfactory described in frames of the effective medium method. Two minima are explained with the Co layer’s fragmentation due to influence of size electron quantization in the Cu layers on formation of Co clusters during deposition of the films.

High-power ultrasonic synthesis and magnetic-field-assisted arrangement of nanosized crystallites of cobalt-containing layered double hydroxides [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2019	ChemEngineering Vol. 3(3), pp. 62	DOI	PDF
Abstract: High-quality stoichiometric Co₂Al-NO₃ and Co₂Al-CO₃ layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been obtained by precipitation followed by anion exchange, both high-power-sonication assisted. Application of high-power ultrasound has been demonstrated to result in a considerable acceleration of the crystallization process and the anion-exchange reaction. Two independent approaches were used to form bulk and 2-D samples of Co₂Al-NO₃ with the oriented crystallites, namely uniaxial pressing of deposits from sonicated LDH slurries and magnetic field-assisted arrangement of LDH crystallites precipitating on glass substrates. A convenient way of preparation of semi-transparent compacts with relatively big blocks of oriented crystallites have been demonstrated. Thin dense transparent films of highly-ordered crystallites of Co₂Al-NO₃ LDH have been produced and characterized.

The phenomenon of conversion polymorphism in Bi-containing metastable perovskites [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2019	Chemical Communications Vol. 55, pp. 4683-4686	DOI	PDF
Abstract: A post-synthesis thermal treatment of metastable phases in the high-pressure stabilised perovskite BiFe_1-ySc_yO₃ system results in the irreversible formation of polymorphs which represent novel polar and antipolar structures with interesting magnetic properties. Such annealing-stimulated polymorphism is believed to be a general phenomenon which can be found in other systems.

Impact of temperature dependent octahedra distortions on magnetic properties of Co-containing double layered hydroxides [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2019	Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials Vol. 473, pp. 501-504	DOI	PDF
Abstract: Distortions of hydroxide octahedral complexes in the Co^II_nAl^III layered double hydroxides (LDHs) (n = Co^II/Al^III = 2 and 3) were studied as a function of the ratio of divalent-to-trivalent cations and temperature. A method for calculation the magnetic susceptibility of polycrystalline samples taking into account the statistical distribution of divalent and trivalent cations, and their effect on the distortions of the original structure is proposed. It is shown that the presence of a local maximum on the magnetic susceptibility curve of Co_nAl LDHs compounds near T ∼ 160 K is due to freezing of the lattice parameters and, as a consequence, freezing of the tilting fluctuations of the O-H bonds.

Abstract: Low-temperature relaxation of magnetization in Pr_0.4Bi_0.3Ca_0.3MnO₃ ceramics was measured after cooling in a magnetic field and aging at temperatures from 5 K to 38 K near the transition temperature to the magnetically ordered state. It was found that the relaxation process has a thermoactivation character at the first stage and is described in terms of the Arrhenius equation. Its activation energy Q ≈ 1.1 meV is comparable with the antiferromagnetic interaction energy in this compound. The temperature–time dependence of the relaxation rate at the second stage is described by a power law. The relaxation slows down as the temperature approaches the critical value, which may be associated with the formation of a cluster structure in the studied compound under these conditions.

Abstract: The synthesis of a radical-cation salt based on a derivative of tetrathiafulvalene, (ET)2[3,3′-Cr(1,2-C2B9H11)2] (ET = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalenium), was accomplished by electrochemical anodic oxidation of ET in the presence of (Me4N)[3,3´-Cr(1,2-C2B9H11)2] in the galvanostatic regime. An electric conductivity σ (293 K) = 7 × 10−3 Ohm−1 cm−1 with semiconductor activation energy Ea ≅ 0.1 eV in the range of 127–300 K was observed. The crystal structure of (ET)2[3,3′-Cr(1,2-C2B9H11)2] was determined by X-ray diffraction at 173 K, revealing the presence of structural tetramers in radical-cation stacks. The magnetic properties of the complex were investigated in the temperature range 1.8–300 K using magnetometry and EPR, showing that the magnetic structure of (ET)2[3,3′-Cr(1,2-C2B9H11)2] consists of two independent magnetic subsystems. Cation radicals form a rectangular magnetic lattice in the ab-plane with significant antiferromagnetic exchange interactions. The chromium bis(dicarbollide) anions are characterized by unusually strong positive zero-field splitting of the Cr(III) ions, which was confirmed by ab initio calculations.

Abstract: Magnetic properties of new multiferroic BiFe_0.5Sc_0.5O₃ perovskite which exists in two different orthorhombic polymorphs, the antipolar Pnma and the polar Ima2, were studied using a SQUID-magnetometer technique in magnetic fields up to 50 kOe in the temperature range of 5-300 K. Both polymorphs show a weak ferromagnetic component below the Néel temperature, T_N ~220 K. A wide cusp-like anomaly of the temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility was revealed below 200 K. The anomaly is dependent on the magnetic field applied and can be associated with the glassy magnetic behavior of the compound. The best fit of the initial magnetization curves taken at each temperature can be obtained as a sum of two contributions, namely the nonlinear in field and the linear one. The nonlinear contribution appeared to be temperature and magnetic field dependent, which is in a good agreement with the magnetization experimentally obtained as a function of temperature in different magnetic fields applied. Increase of external magnetic field leads to a decrease of the nonlinear contribution to the total magnetic moment.

Abstract: An anion-radical salt (ARS) [Co(bipy)₃](TCNQ)₄·H₂O was synthesized and its crystal structure was resolved. The experimental investigation of [Co(bipy)₃](TCNQ)₄·H₂O and two ARS with similar crystal structure [Zn(bipy)₃](TCNQ)₄·H₂O and [Ni(bipy)₃](TCNQ)₄·(CH₃)₂CO by the measurement of the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility at temperature from 1.8 K to 300 K, the field dependence of magnetization up to 7 T at different temperatures and EPR spectra in temperature range from 2 K to 300 K was performed. [Zn(bipy)₃](TCNQ)₄·H₂O was used to estimate the contribution of the TCNQ radicals to the magnetic moment. In result, the compound [Co(bipy)₃](TCNQ)₄·H₂O was characterized by the presence of Co²⁺ ions in spin-admixed state and low-temperature susceptibility, magnetization and specific heat of [Ni(bipy)₃](TCNQ)₄·(CH₃)₂CO was shown to be dominated by the contribution of single-ion anisotropy of Ni²⁺ ions.

Abstract: Magnetic behavior of Co^II(n)Al^III layered double hydroxides (LDHs) (n = Co/Al = 2 and 3) intercalated with nitrate was studied as a function of temperature. Both LDH compounds are paramagnetic above about 8 K. A rapid increase of their magnetic moments occurs below this temperature until the moments reach the maximum values at T_max of 4.0 K and 3.2 K for Co(2)Al–NO₃ and Co(3)Al–NO₃, respectively. Below T_max, the zero-field-cooled and the field-cooled static magnetization curves are strongly different. Along with this low-temperature phenomena, Co(2)Al–NO₃ and Co(3)Al–NO₃ demonstrate anomalous behavior of their temperature dependence magnetic susceptibility in a higher-temperature range: between 75 and 175 K, both the paramagnetic Curie temperature and the effective magnetic moment change in a non-monotonous way. Possible structural reasons of the observed magnetic behavior of the Co^II(n)Al^III LDHs are discussed.

Abstract: Magnetic properties of polycrystalline multiferroic Bi0.65La0.35Fe0.5Sc0.5O3 synthesized under high-pressure (6 GPa) and high-temperature (1500 K) conditions were studied using a SQUID magnetometer technique. The temperature dependent static magnetic moment M was measured in both zero-field-cooled and field-cooled modes over the temperature range of 5-300 K in low magnetic field H=0.02 kOe. The field dependent magnetization M(H) was measured in magnetic fields up to 50 kOe at different temperatures up to 230 K after zero-field cooling procedure. A long-range magnetic ordering of the antiferromagnetic type with a weak ferromagnetic contribution takes place below TN ≈ 220 K. Magnetic hysteresis loops taken below TN show a huge coercive field up to Hc ≈10 kOe, while the magnetic moment does not saturate up to 50 kOe. A strong effect of magnetic field on the magnetic properties of the compound has been found. Below TN ≈220 K the derivatives of the initial magnetization curves demonstrate the existence of a temperature-dependent anomaly in fields of H=15÷25 kOe. The nature of the anomaly is unknown and requires additional study.

Abstract: Magnetic and thermodynamic properties of polycrystalline multiferroic Bi_0.65La_0.35Fe_0.5Sc_0.5O₃ synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions are reported. Magnetic properties were studied using a SQUID magnetometer technique over the temperature range of 5-300 K in magnetic fields up to H=10 kOe. The field dependent magnetization M(H) was measured in magnetic fields up to 50 kOe at different temperatures up to 230 K after zero-field cooling procedure. A long-range magnetic ordering of the AFM type with a weak FM contribution occurs below the Néel temperature TN ~237 K. Magnetic hysteresis loops taken below TN show a huge coercive field up to Hc ~10 kOe. A strong effect of magnetic field on the magnetic properties of the compound has been found. Derivative of the initial magnetization curves demonstrates a temperature-dependent anomaly in fields of H=15−25 kOe. Besides, an anomaly of the temperature dependent zero-field cooled magnetization measured in magnetic fields of 6-7 kOe has been found. Origin of both anomalies is associated with inhomogeneous magnetic state of the compound. The heat capacity has been measured from 2 K up to room temperature and a significant contribution from the magnon excitations at low temperatures has been detected. From the low-temperature heat capacity, an anisotropy gap of the magnon modes of the order 3.7 meV and Debye temperature TD=189 K have been determined.

Abstract: We present results of theoretical and experimental studies of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of RFe₄Al₈, RMn₄Al₈, and RCr₄Al₈ compounds with nonmagnetic elements R = Sc, Y, La, and Lu.

The calculations are supplemented by measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of representative RT₄Al₈ compounds as a function of temperature and hydrostatic pressure.

Magnetic structure of an incommensurate phase of La-doped BiFe_0.5Sc_0.5O₃: Role of antisymmetric exchange interactions [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2015	Physical Review B Vol. 92(22), pp. 224428	DOI	PDF
Abstract: A 20% substitution of Bi with La in the perovskite Bi1−x Lax Fe0.5 Sc0.5 O3 system obtained under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions has been found to induce an incommensurately modulated structural phase. The room-temperature x-ray and neutron powder diffraction patterns of this phase were successfully refined using the I mma(0,0,γ )s00 superspace group (γ = 0.534(3)) with the modulation applied to Bi/La and oxygen displacements. The modulated structure is closely related to the prototype antiferroelectric structure of PbZrO3 which can be considered as the lock-in variant of the latter with γ = 0.5. Below TN ∼ 220 K, the neutron diffraction data provide evidence for a long-range G-type antiferromagnetic ordering commensurate with the average I mma structure. Based on a general symmetry consideration, we show that the direction of the spins is controlled by the antisymmetric exchange imposed by the two primary structural distortions, namely oxygen octahedral tilting and incommensurate atomic displacements. The tilting is responsible for the onset of a weak ferromagnetism, observed in magnetization measurements, whereas the incommensurate displacive mode is dictated by the symmetry to couple a spin-density wave. The obtained results demonstrate that antisymmetric exchange is the dominant anisotropic interaction in Fe3+-based distorted perovskites with a nearly quenched orbital degree of freedom.

Abstract: Exchange bias phenomenon, evident of antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic phase segregation state, has been observed in (Nd1 xYx)2/3Ca1/3MnO 3 (x 1⁄4 0, 0.1) compounds at low temperatures. A contribution to the total magnetization of the compounds due to the ferromagnetic phase has been evaluated. It has been found that yttrium doping leads to the growth of the ferromagnetic phase fraction. The ferromagnetic phase in the doped compound has a lower coercivity Hc and more rectangular form of the hysteresis loop. The values of the exchange bias field HEB and coercivity are found to be strongly dependent on the cooling magnetic field Hcool. In sufficiently high magnetic fields, Hcool > 5 kOe, HEB in the doped compound is about twice as low as in the parent compound. This difference is attributed to a lower exchange interaction and higher saturation magnetization of the ferromagnetic phase in (Nd0.9Y0.1)2/3Ca1/3MnO3.

Abstract: Neutron powder diffraction measurements on the 35 % La-substituted Bi1−xLaxFe0.5Sc0.5O3 composition revealed that the samples obtained under high-pressure (6 GPa) and high-temperature (1500 K) conditions crystalize into a distorted perovskite structure with the orthorhombic Pnma symmetry and the unit cell parameters: ao = 5.6745(2) Å, bo = 7.9834(3) Å and co = 5.6310(2) Å. A long-range magnetic ordering takes place below 220 K and implies a G-type magnetic structure with the moments 4.10(4)μB per Fe aligned predominately along the orthorhombic c-axis. The space group representation theory using the orthorhombic symmetry yields four bi-linear coupling schemes for the magnetic order parameters imposed by antisymmetric exchange interactions. The couplings are analysed based on symmetry adapted distortion modes defined in respect of the undistorted cubic perovskite structure. The approach allows a quantitative estimation of the coupling strength. It is shown that the experimentally found spin configuration combines the magnetic order parameters coupled by the atomic displacement modes with the largest amplitudes. The results indicate that the antisymmetric exchange is the dominant anisotropic term which fully controls the direction of the Fe3+ spins in the distorted perovskite lattice.

Abstract: Magnetic susceptibility χ of Bi[2-x]Mn[x]Se[3] (x = 0.01-0.2) was measured in the temperature range 4.2-300 K. For all the samples, a Curie-Weiss behaviour of χ(T) was revealed with effective magnetic moments of Mn ions corresponding to the spin value S=5/2, which couple antiferromagnetically with the paramagnetic Curie temperature Θ ~ -50 K. In addition, for the samples of nominal composition x = 0.1 and 0.2 the effect of a hydrostatic pressure P up to 2 kbar on χ has been measured at fixed temperatures 78 and 300 K that allowed to estimate the pressure derivative of Θ to be dΘ/dP ~ -0.8 K/kbar. Based on the observed behaviour of Θ with varied Mn concentration and pressure, a possible mechanism of interaction between localized Mn moments is discussed.

Abstract: This study is focused on obtaining large CeAlO3 single crystals. Using Czochralski and Edge-Defined Film Fed Growth techniques, crystals of length up to 130 mm were obtained. The crystals belong to the tetragonal low temperature modification of CeAlO3, space group P4/mmm, a=3.7669 Å, с=3.7967 Å. Density and crystallographic parameters as well as some optical, luminescence and magnetic properties of CeAlO3 were studied. The crystals demonstrate rather bright luminescence under UV-excitation, while no luminescence has been registered under X-rays. Ceramic and single crystalline CeAlO3 samples demonstrate p-type conductivity and promising paramagnetic properties.

Abstract: The temperature dependences of the elastic and magnetic properties of polycrystalline perovskite manganite La2/3Ba1/3MnO3 were studied using ultrasonic and SQUID magnetometer techniques. The minimum of the temperature-dependent sound velocity v(T) and corresponding maximum of the decrement δ(T) were found in the vicinity of the structural phase transition R3̄ c↔Imma at Ts ∼ 200 K. Large alterations of v and δ indicate a structural phase transition of the soft mode type. A high sensitivity of dc magnetization to a low uniaxial pressure caused by the softening was found in the Ts region. A negative value of the linear thermal expansion coefficient along one of the crystallographic axis was found in the Imma phase near Ts . The proposed microscopic mechanism explains the appearance of the soft mode in the vicinity of the structural phase transition temperature associated with the displacement of the manganese atom from the center of the oxygen octahedron.

Abstract: The temperature dependence and the effect of pressure P up to 2 kbar on the magnetic susceptibility χ of the tetraborides SmB4 and YbB4 was studied. For the compound CeB4, the electronic structure and magnetic susceptibility were calculated from first principles as a function of the atomic volume. The results show that in the studied tetraborides, rare-earth ions (Ce 4+, Sm3+ and Yb2.8+) exhibit different valence states, which determines the specific features of their magnetic properties. In particular, the obtained pressure derivatives of susceptibility dlnv/dP for cerium, samarium and 1ytterbium tetraborides are -2, -0.6 and +2.7 (in units of Mbar ), respectively, which are characteristic for the exchange-enhanced itinerant paramagnetism, Van Vleck ionic paramagnetism with a stable f-shell, and the magnetism of rare-earth ions in the intermediate valence state.

Anisotropy of magnetic properties of Fe_1+yTe [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2014	Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter Vol. 26(43), pp. 436003	DOI	PDF
Abstract: The magnetic properties of Fe1+yTe single crystals (y≃0.1-0.18) were studied at temperatures 4.2-300K. At an ambient pressure, with decreasing temperature a drastic drop in χ(T) was confirmed at T≃ 60-65K, which appears to be closely related to the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering. It is found that the magnitudes of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility Δχ in the AFM phase are close in the studied samples, whereas the sign of the anisotropy apparently depends on the small variations of the excess iron y in Fe1+yTe samples. The performed DFT calculations of the electronic structure and magnetic properties for the stoichiometric FeTe compound indicate the presence of frustrated AFM ground states. There are very close energies and magnetic moments for the double stripe configurations, with the AFM axes oriented either on the basal plane or along the [0 0 1] direction. Presumably, both these configurations can be realized in Fe1+yTe single crystals, depending on the variations of the excess iron. This can provide different signs of magnetic anisotropy in the AFM phase, presently observed in the Fe1+yTe samples. For these types of AFM configuration, the calculations for the FeTe values of Δχ are consistent with our experimental data.

Interrelation of superconductivity and magnetism in FeSe_1-xTe_x compounds. Pressure effects [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2014	Low Temperature Physics Vol. 40(7), pp. 615-620	DOI	PDF
Abstract: The effect of isotropic pressures P up to 5 kbar on the superconducting transition temperature Tc of the FeSe1-xTex system (x=0, 0.85, 0.88, 0.90) is studied. For the first time, a change in the sign of the effect of pressure on Tc on going from FeSe to the tellurium-rich alloys is observed. This makes it possible to specify more precisely the form of the dependence of the pressure derivative dTc/dP on composition in this system. This dependence is compared with first principles calculations of the electron structure and magnetism of FeSe, FeTe, and FeSe0.5Te0.5 as functions of pressure, as well as with our earlier experimental data on the effect of pressure on the magnetic susceptibility of the normal state in FeSe and FeTe. This comparison is indicative of a competitive interrelationship between superconductivity and magnetism in tellurium rich FeSe1-xTex compounds.

Abstract: The de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect in the antiferromagnetic compound FeGe2 is studied experimentally. A sharp suppression of the amplitude of the first harmonic of the dHvA oscillations is observed for a number of orbits on the Fermi surface of FeGe2. The change in the conditions for suppression of the amplitude ("spin zeroes") when FeGe2 is doped with cobalt is determined. A method for analyzing the experimental data is proposed in which the g-factors of the conduction electrons are computed on the basis of calculations of the spin-polarized electron structure of the band antiferromagnet taking spin-orbital interactions into account. The exchange enhancement factor for spin paramagnetism in FeGe2 is also calculated.

Abstract: The electronic energy structures and magnetic properties of layered superconductors RNi2B2C, RFe4Al8, and FeSe are systematically studied, by using the density functional theory (DFT). The calculations allowed us to reveal a number of features of the electronic structure, which can cause the manifestation of peculiar structural, magnetic and superconducting properties of these systems. It is demonstrated that the Fermi energy EF is located close to the pronounced peaks of the electronic density of states (DOS). The main contribution to DOS at the Fermi level arises from 3d-electrons. The calculations of the pressure-dependent electronic structure and the magnetic susceptibility in the normal state indicate that the novel superconductors are very close to a magnetic instability with dominating spin paramagnetism. It is shown that experimental data on the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature in FeSe correlate qualitatively with the calculated behavior of DOS at EF as a function of the pressure.

Magnetic properties of N-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2013	Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik Vol. 44(2-3), pp. 136-138	DOI	PDF
Abstract: The magnetic properties of nitrogen-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes (N-MWCNTs) were studied in the temperature and magnetic field range of (4.2-290) K and (0.05-30) kOe, respectively. Also magnetic properties of the reference MWCNTs without nitrogen doping were investigated on the same footing for comparison. The presence of iron-based particles inside N-MWCNTs was detected. The low temperature SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) magnetization measurements were supplemented with thermogravimetric analysis. The magnetic characterization provided the saturation magnetic moment MS and residual magnetization MR of N-MWCNTs to be, respectively, 4.5 emu/g and 0.9 emu/g, whereas for the reference MWCNTs the corresponding parameters are found to be about twice higher. The coercive field value amounts to 800 Oe for both systems at low temperatures, then decreasing to about 450 Oe at 200 K.

Abstract: A detailed magnetization study for the novel FeSe superconductor is carried out to investigate the behavior of the intrinsic magnetic susceptibility χ in the normal state with temperature and under hydrostatic pressure. The temperature dependences of χ and its anisotropy Δχ = χp-χo are measured for FeSe single crystals in the temperature range 4.2-300 K, and a substantial growth of susceptibility with temperature is revealed. The observed anisotropy Δχ is very large and comparable to the averaged susceptibility at low temperatures. For a polycrystalline sample of FeSe, the significant pressure effect on χ is determined to be essentially dependent on temperature. Ab initio calculations of the pressure-dependent electronic structure and magnetic susceptibility indicate that FeSe is close to magnetic instability, with dominating enhanced spin paramagnetism. The calculated paramagnetic susceptibility exhibits a strong dependence on the unit cell volume and especially on the height Z of chalcogen species from the Fe plane. The change of Z under pressure determines a large positive pressure effect on χ, which is observed at low temperatures. It is shown that the literature experimental data on the strong and nonmonotonic pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature in FeSe correlate qualitatively with the calculated behavior of the density of electronic states at the Fermi level.

Abstract: The magnetic susceptibility χ of the FeSe and FeTe compounds, which form the simplest FeSe(Te) system of the novel iron-based superconductors, is studied in the normal state under hydrostatic pressure. A substantial positive pressure effect on χ is detected at low temperatures for both compounds. At room temperature, this effect is found to be also strong, but it is negative for FeSe and positive for FeTe. Ab initio calculations of the pressure dependent electronic structure and magnetic susceptibility indicate that FeSe and FeTe are close to magnetic instability with dominating enhanced spin paramagnetism. The calculated paramagnetic susceptibility exhibits a strong dependence on the unit cell volume and the height Z of chalcogen species from the Fe plane. The observed large positive pressure effects on χ in FeTe and FeSe at low temperatures are related to considerable sensitivity of the paramagnetism to the internal parameter Z. It is shown that available experimental data on the strong and nonmonotonic pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature in FeSe correlate qualitatively with the calculated behavior of the density of electronic states at the Fermi level.

Abstract: It is known that the quantum size effects are important for the formation of morphological properties of metal films. The regularities in the behavior of the superparamagnetic magnetoresistive effect in multilayer nanofilms Co/Cu(111) in a magnetic field, found in the work, indicate the influence of the electron size effect on the formation of clusters in these films. The results of measurements of the high-field magnetoresistive effect are reported for multilayer films [Co/Cu(111)]20 with a constant thickness of cobalt layers and the thickness of copper layer varying from film to film. It is found that an effective size of superparamagnetic formations is reduced in the films with thickness of the copper layers corresponding to the maxima of the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between cobalt layers. It is suggested that the observed "grinding" of superparamagnetic particles is caused by oscillating changes in the electron density in the interface layer Co/Cu, induced by electron quantum size effect in the copper layers.

Abstract: Magnetization studies were carried out for the novel FeSe1-xTex superconductors (0≤x≤1) to investigate a behavior of the intrinsic magnetic susceptibility χ in the normal state. The magnetic susceptibility was found to increase gradually with Te content. The temperature dependencies of the magnetic susceptibility χ and its anisotropy Δχ= χ∥- χ⊥ were measured for FeSe in the temperature range 4.2-300 K, and a growth of susceptibility with temperature was revealed. For FeTe a substantial increase of χ under pressure was found. Ab initio calculations of the band structure and magnetic susceptibility have shown, that FeSe1-xTex systems are close to magnetic instability with dominating enhanced spin paramagnetism. The calculated paramagnetic susceptibility exhibits a strong dependence on the unit cell volume V and especially the height of chalcogen species from the Fe plane. With appropriate values of these parameters the calculations have reproduced the experimental data on χ(T) and χ(P) for FeSe and FeTe, respectively.

Abstract: The magnetic susceptibility χ of FeTex compounds (x ≃ 1.0) was studied under hydrostatic pressure up to 2 kbar at fixed temperatures of 55, 78 and 300K. Measurements were taken both for polycrystalline and single crystalline samples. At ambient pressure, with decreasing temperature a drastic drop in χ(T) was confirmed at T ≃ 70 K, which appears to be closely related to antiferromagnetic ordering. The obtained results have revealed a puzzling growth of susceptibility under pressure, and this effect is enhanced by lowering the temperature. To shed light on the pressure effects in the magnetic properties of FeTe, abinitio calculations of its volume dependent band structure and the exchange enhanced paramagnetic susceptibility were performed within the local spin density approximation.

Abstract: The magnetic properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified with cobalt nanoparticles were studied in the temperatures and magnetic field range of (4.2-290) K and (0.03-5) T, respectively. Nanoparticles of cobalt encapsulated inside MWCNTs were obtained by using the chemical vapor deposition technique. The low temperature SQUID magnetization measurements were supplemented with structural investigations by means of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy as well as thermogravimetric and X-ray diffraction analysis. X-ray diffraction revealed the presence of MWCNTs, f.c.c. Co and h.c.p. Co phases. The magnetic characterization provided the remanent magnetization value (MR) of about 0.07 emu/g (∼40% of the saturation moment), while the coercive field (HC) value amounts to 600 Oe. Both parameters MR and HC slightly decrease with the rise of temperature. The substantial magnetization increase observed at low temperatures suggests the existence of nano Co clusters (in the atomic scale size).

Abstract: The magnetization of FeSe1-xTex (x∼0, 0.5, and 1.0) compounds has been studied in magnetic fields up to 50 kOe and at temperatures of 2-300 K. The superconducting transition was observed at Tc∼8 K and 13.6-14.2 K in FeSe0.963 and FeSe0.5Te0.5, respectively. For most of the samples, nonlinearity of the magnetization curves in the normal state gives evidence of a common, substantial presence of ferromagnetic impurities in these compounds. By taking these impurity effects into account, the intrinsic magnetic susceptibility χ of FeSe0.963, FeSe0.5Te0.5, and FeTe was estimated to increase gradually with Te content. For FeTe a drastic drop in χ(T) with decreasing temperature was found at TN∼70 K, which is presumably related to antiferromagnetic ordering. To shed light on the observed magnetic properties, ab initio calculations of the exchange enhanced magnetic susceptibility are performed for FeSe and FeTe in the local spin density approximation.

Pressure effect on electronic structure and magnetic properties of iron-based high Tc superconductors [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2010	High Pressure Physics and Technics Vol. 20(4), pp. 60-69	URL	PDF
Abstract: Pressure effects on electronic structure and magnetic properties of iron-based superconductors FeSe1-xTex (x ~ 0, 0.5 and 1.0) and LaFeAsO are investigated. The superconducting transition was observed at TC ~ 8, 13.6-14.2, and 26 K in FeSe0.963, FeSe0.5Te0.5, and LaFeAsO0.85F0.1, respectively. The intrinsic magnetic susceptibility χ in the series of FeSe0.963, FeSe0.5Te0.5 and FeTe is found to increase gradually approximately 10 times as much with Te content. A kink in the low-field dependence of χ(T) was detected at TM ~ 135 K for LaFeAsO0.85F0.1. The electronic structures and paramagnetic susceptibilities of the studied compounds are calculated ab initio in external magnetic field as a function of atomic volume and structural parameter Z, which specifies the relative height of chalcogen atoms above iron plane. The calculated field-induced magnetic moments and their volume derivatives indicate that these systems are in a close proximity to a quantum critical point. For FeSe and FeTe the calculated paramagnetic susceptibilities reveal a large magnetovolume effect and a drastic sensitivity to parameter Z.

Structure and magnetic properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified with iron [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2010	Low Temperature Physics Vol. 36(12), pp. 1086-1090	DOI	PDF
Abstract: Magnetic properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified with iron (MWCNT+Fe) are studied in detail in the temperature range 4.2-300K. Carbon encapsulated Fe nanoparticles were produced by chemical vapor deposition. Low-temperature SQUID magnetization measurements are supplemented by structural studies employing thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The magnetic susceptibility of MWCNT+Fe was also studied above room temperature to provide a complete picture of its magnetic phase transitions.

Abstract: The magnetic properties of the compound LaFeAsO0.85F0.1 were investigated by measurements of the dc magnetization for different values of the magnetic field H=0.02, 1.0 and 2.0T in the temperature range 4.2-300K. Superconducting behavior was found below 26K, whereas a distinct peculiarity in the low-field dependence of the magnetic susceptibility χ(T) was clearly observed at TM≃135K, which resembles a weak ferromagnetic (FM) response with saturation magnetic moment of about 10-4μB per formula unit at 50K. The transition at TM is presumably not governed by magnetic impurities but rather correlated with the antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition in undoped LaFeAsO at about the same temperature. We suggest that the observed magnetic properties of the LaFeAsO0.85F0.1 sample are due to an interplay of FM and AFM transitions, and are presumably related with an intrinsic feature of a small portion of the undoped LaFeAsO phase inherent in our sample. In order to shed light on the problem of magnetic instability of the LaFeAsO, ab initio DFT calculations of the electronic structure and paramagnetic susceptibility were performed within the local spin density approximation. It is shown that a V-shaped peculiarity in the density of electronic states close to the Fermi level can govern magnetic properties of LaFeAsO with fluorine doping and/or oxygen deficiency.

Abstract: We present a design of a magnetometer intended for early diagnostics of radiation damages in structural materials. The magnetometer is an rf SQUID material susceptometer based on a helium cryostat shield. The features and characteristics of such magnetometers are analyzed, the upper limit parameters achievable in the used schemes are estimated. The design of main parts, the key parameters optimization methods, the operation and calibration algorithms are described. The interference sources while measuring magnetic properties of the materials in fields B=3...4 T are revealed. The techniques to suppress external electromagnetic noises due to special design of the cryostat shield are offered. Some examples of the meter output signals and the best values of the sensitivity to sample magnetic moment variations, of the sample temperature stability, and of the liquid helium evaporation rate are given.

Anisotropy of the magnetic properties and the electronic structure of transition-metal diborides [Abstract] [BibTeX]	2009	Low Temperature Physics Vol. 35(11), pp. 862-868	DOI	PDF
Abstract: The temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility and its anisotropy Δχ=χ∥-χ⊥ have been measured for hexagonal single crystals of transition-metal diborides MB2 (M=Sc,Ti,V,Zr,Hf) in the temperature interval 4.2-300 K. It is found that the anisotropy ΔX is weakly temperature-dependent, a nonmonotonic function of the filling of the hybridized p-d conduction band, and largest for group-IV transition metals. First-principles calculations of the electronic structure of diborides and the values of the paramagnetic contributions (spin and Van Vleck) to their susceptibility show that the behavior of the magnetic anisotropy is due to the competition between Van Vleck paramagnetism and orbital diamagnetism of the conduction electrons.

Abstract: The magnetic susceptibility χ of the itinerant antiferromagnet CrB2 with TN≃87 K is studied as a function of the hydrostatic pressure up to 2 kbar at fixed temperatures 78 and 300 K. The pressure effect χ on is found to be negative in sign and weakly dependent on the magnetic state of the compound. In addition, the measured pressure dependence of the Néel temperature, dTN/dP=0. 1±0.1 K/kbar, is roughly two orders of magnitude smaller than the corresponding value for the pure chromium. The main contributions to χ and their volume dependence are calculated ab initio within the local spin density approximation, and they turn out to be in close agreement with the experimental data.

Abstract: We describe a liquid helium glass-fibre reinforced plastic (G-FRP) Dewar which we designed, fabricated and tested for excitation spectrum measurements in high pulsed magnetic fields of up to 50 T. The sensitivity of high-resolution magnetic measurements carried out at low temperatures in such high fields is limited inevitably by magnetic and electric properties of the structural Dewar materials involved. Magnetic properties of various G-FRP Dewar-purpose materials are explored with a χ-meter furnished with a RF SQUID magnetometer. The Dewar materials and multilayer insulation effects contributing to the magnetic response signal are analyzed. It has also been discovered that field noise caused by the magnetization of the Dewar materials can be suppressed substantially by using special glass-epoxy technologies. The liquid helium evaporation rate is 3.8 l/day while the hold time is 27 h, the influencing factors are discussed.

Abstract: The temperature dependencies of the magnetic susceptibility χ and its anisotropy Δχ=χ∥-χ⊥ were measured for the hexagonal single crystalline TB2 compounds (T = Sc, Ti, Zr, Hf, V and Cr) in the temperature range 4.2-300 K. It was found that Δ χ varies strongly and nonmonotonously with the filling of the hybridized d-band, being almost temperature independent and the largest for the diborides of group 4 metals. Ab initio calculations of the electronic structure and susceptibility of the diborides provide evidence that magnetic anisotropy originates from competing Van Vleck paramagnetism and the orbital diamagnetism of conduction electrons.

Abstract: Pressure effects on electronic structure and magnetic properties of anisotropic metallic materials (CrB2, FeGe2, LaFeAsO) are investigated. Magnetic susceptibilities of CrB2 and FeGe2 compounds were studied under hydrostatic pressure at fixed temperatures, 77 and 300 K. In order to analyze the experimental magnetovolume effects, the electronic structures were calculated ab initio in external magnetic field as a function of atomic volume by employing a full-potential LMTO method. The calculated field-induced magnetic moments and their volume derivatives compare favorably with the experimental pressure effects in magnetic properties of CrB2 and FeGe2. The main role of pressure in high-Tc superconductivity of LaFeAsO is found to reduce density of states at the Fermi level and to suppress ferromagnetic spin fluctuations.

Abstract: In the region of the equilibrium solid solutions of lithium in aluminum an anomalous low-temperature peak of diamagnetism is observed which is due to the presence of a boundary point on a line of band degeneracy directly below the Fermi level. The position and structure of the peak in the average valence function are analogous to those studied previously in the aging systems Al-Mg and Al-Zn under suitable heat treatment. The value of the lithium impurity scattering parameter for the electron states in the vicinity of the point of degeneracy mentioned is estimated, and the linear relation of that parameter with impurity-related electrical resistance in aluminum alloys is established.
