Abstract
Chromium telluride CrTe with intrinsic room-temperature ferromagnetism has substantially practical application in spintronics. In this work, the microwave response of CrTe single crystal is investigated by the electronic spin resonance (ESR) with the magnetic field applied along various directions. Two resonance lines are observed for both and , which are suggested to result from ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations respectively. The angle-dependent ESR spectra show considerable anisotropy, with a strong microwave response for and a weak microwave response for . The analysis of the ESR spectra reveals the coexistence of FM and AFM fluctuations in this system. Moreover, this anisotropic microwave response in single crystal CrTe could benefit the microwave-based spintronic device.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
