Abstract
The quaternary Heusler alloy OsZrTiSi has been proven to be a half-metallic ferromagnet. However, the Curie temperature of OsZrTiSi does not exceed room temperature, which limits its applications. The Curie temperature is increased by doping vanadium atoms, and compounds with the desired magnetic moment are obtained in this work. Vanadium (V) and Titanium (Ti) belong to the same period. By substituting V for Ti atoms, compounds with tailored magnetic moments can be obtained, thereby enabling magnetic property tuning. In addition, the Curie temperatures of OsZrTinV1-nSi (n = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0) obtained after doping are 430.3 K, 475.5 K, 520.8 K and 566 K respectively, all of which are higher than room temperature. This study provides a new approach for the design of multifunctional novel Heusler alloys.
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.
