Abstract
Theoretical studies show that metastable phases of nonmagnetic oxides could exhibit magnetic order when synthesized in two-dimensional (2-D) atomic crystals. In this letter, we report experimental evidence of a nontrivial antiferromagnetic behavior in a 2-D, metastable phase of iridium oxide in which iridium forms a triangular lattice. We compare the magnetic behavior of the crystals in the morphology of 2-D nanosheets with that of the same crystals in the morphology of nanoparticles. At low temperatures, the magnetic moment of nanosheets exceeds that of the nanoparticles while coercivity and remanence collapse, suggesting a transition to an antiferromagnetic phase. Morphology at the nanoscale seems to play a significant role in the magnetic behavior of oxide semiconductors.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
