Magnetic susceptibility of multiferroics and chemical ordering
Magnetic susceptibility of two types of perovskite compounds A(Fe0.5M0.5)O3 A=Ba,Sr with M=Nb and Sb differing in the degree of chemical ordering was studied between 2 and 380 K. In the low temperature region, these compounds exhibit antiferromagnetic and spin-glass transition at T = 16−30 K. For the ordered compounds (M = Sb) the inverse susceptibility depends on T linearly up to the highest temperatures used. This enables the determination of the Weiss temperature θ and effective moment of the Fe3+ ion expressed by a number of Bohr magnetons, peff. In contrast to it, the compounds with M = Nb are characterized by a higher degree of the glassines and by a concave character of the inverse s…
Magnetoelectric effect in antiferromagnetic multiferroic Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3 and its solid solutions with PbTiO3
Antiferromagnets (AFMs) are presently considered as promising materials for applications in spintronics and random access memories due to the robustness of information stored in the AFM state against perturbing magnetic fields. In this respect, AFM multiferroics may be attractive alternatives for conventional AFMs as the coupling of magnetism with ferroelectricity (magnetoelectric effect) offers an elegant possibility of electric-field control and switching of AFM domains. Here we report the results of comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigations of the quadratic magnetoelectric (ME) effect in single crystals and highly resistive ceramics of $\mathrm{Pb}(\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}}_…
Comparative studies of ferroelectric and magnetic phase transitions in Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3-PbMO3 (M-Ti, Zr) multiferroic solid solutions
Some peculiar features of magnetic x,T-phase diagram of (1-x)PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3- xPbTiO3 system at x ≈ 0.1 have been ascribed previously to the change of the lattice symmetry from rhombohedral to tetragonal or to the decrease of the lattice parameter with x. We carried out structural, dielectric, magnetization, and Mossbauer studies of (1-x)PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3-xPbZrO3 system, where the symmetry remains rhombohedral, while the lattice parameter increases with x. However, the magnetic x,T-phase diagram of (1-x)PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3-xPbZrO3 appeared to be very similar to that of (1-x) PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3-xPbTiO3. Anomalies of composition dependence of magnetic phase transition temperatures at x ≈ 0.1 are supposed …
