Abstract
A magnetometric study of Bi0.9Ca0.1Fe1-xMnxO3 (0.3 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) compounds was conducted over broad temperature and field ranges to clarify the impact of Mn substitution on the magnetic properties of Ca2+-doped bismuth ferrite-based multiferroics near the polar-antipolar phase boundary. Room-temperature X-ray diffraction measurements confirm the stability of the polar rhombohedral R3c structure up to x = 0.4, with a transition to the antipolar orthorhombic Pnam phase occurring through a mixed structural state at x≈ 0.45. Magnetic measurements of rhombohedral-structure samples reveal an evolution in magnetization behavior, indicative of a transformation from the cycloidal spin order, characteristic of low-doped bismuth ferrites, to a collinear antiferromagnetic arrangement as Mn content increases. Magnetic field modifies the collinear antiferromagnetic structure towards a canted antiferromagnetic one. The threshold field for the metamagnetic transformation decreases with decreasing temperature and increasing Mn concentration.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials provides an important forum for the disclosure and discussion of original contributions covering the whole spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to the technology and applications of magnetic materials. The journal encourages greater interaction between the basic and applied sub-disciplines of magnetism with comprehensive review articles, in addition to full-length contributions. In addition, other categories of contributions are welcome, including Critical Focused issues, Current Perspectives and Outreach to the General Public.
Main Categories:
Full-length articles:
Technically original research documents that report results of value to the communities that comprise the journal audience. The link between chemical, structural and microstructural properties on the one hand and magnetic properties on the other hand are encouraged.
In addition to general topics covering all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, the full-length articles also include three sub-sections, focusing on Nanomagnetism, Spintronics and Applications.
The sub-section on Nanomagnetism contains articles on magnetic nanoparticles, nanowires, thin films, 2D materials and other nanoscale magnetic materials and their applications.
The sub-section on Spintronics contains articles on magnetoresistance, magnetoimpedance, magneto-optical phenomena, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and other topics related to spin current control and magneto-transport phenomena. The sub-section on Applications display papers that focus on applications of magnetic materials. The applications need to show a connection to magnetism.
Review articles:
Review articles organize, clarify, and summarize existing major works in the areas covered by the Journal and provide comprehensive citations to the full spectrum of relevant literature.
