However, traditional magnetoelectric devices require adoption of piezoelectric component, resulting in complicated device architecture and complex conditioning circuit. More importantly, traditional strain-mediated magnetoelectric structures could not be developed in flexible form due to the existence of magnetostrictive component, which could be easily affected by mechanical deformation in flexible devices. Here we have systematically investigated pure current control of the magnetic properties of La_(0.7)Sr_(0.3)MnO_(3) thin films. Ferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase transition has been realized with a small current density of 5.2 × 10^(3) A/cm^(2), which is three orders smaller than the working current density of spintronics based on spin-orbit torque and spin-transfer torque. The effective tuning of magnetic property has been attributed to the current induced Joule heating effect. For La_(0.7)Sr_(0.3)MnO_(3) film grown on flexible Mica with a smaller thermal conductivity, dramatic change of ferromagnetic resonance field of 1340 Oe and nonvolatile magnetization switching have been achieved with an ultra-small current density of 7.4 × 10^(2) A/cm^(2). These results represent a crucial step towards effective electrical control of both static and dynamic magnetic properties in flexible magnetic thin films and open a new avenue for exploring electrical controlled flexible spintronics.展开更多

The powders were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The results showed that single-phased perovskite-type oxide powders with small particle size were obtained by the process, and the compositions of the productions agreed with the designed molar ratio. The electronic conductivity and ionic conductivity of La0.8Sr0.2Co1-yFeyO3-δ were investigated by DC four-terminal method and AC impedance spectroscopy, respectively. The electronic conductivity of La0.8Sr0.2Co1-yFeyO3-δ is approximately 2～4 orders of magnitude higher than the ionic conductivity. It was confirmed that the conductivities of the materials were strongly influenced by the composition anions, temperature and sample preparing process.展开更多

The value of room temperaturemagnetoresistance at a field H=12 kOe for (La_(0.9)Tb_(0.1))_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3 is -3.56%. The enhancement of the roomtemperature magnetoresistance induced by an appropriate Tb substitution in (La_(1-x)Tb_x)_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_3 is correlatedwith the shifts of the Curie temperature and metal-insulator temperature to near room temperature. The drop ofthe room temperature magnetoresistance at large Tb doping-contents may be due to its lower T_C and T_(MI) far fromthe room temperature.展开更多

The formation process of LSCCF from the precursors was monitored by TG-DSC, and the crystal structure and particles morphology of the precursors which were calcined at 600, 800, 1000 ℃ for 3 h were characterized using XRD, SEM technologies. Compared with the solid state reaction of constituent oxides, when the pH value of the precipitating solution was in the range of 9.1～9.5, the LSCCF powders from the precursors caclined at 800 ℃ for 3 h had high purity, homogeneous and single perovskite phase. The electrical conductivity of the LSCCF samples sintered at 1200 ℃ for 3 h, which was measured as a function of temperatures from 100 to 800 ℃ by DC four-probe method in air, decreased with x from 0.05 to 0.20. The value of electrical conductivity was almost equal because of Ca2+, Sr2+ co-dopant resulting in the 'mix effect' while x=0.10 or 0.15. The electrical conductivity of all doped samples was higher than 100 S·cm-1 at intermediate temperatures from 500 to 800 ℃, and there was good compatibility between the LSCCF cathode and Ce0.8Sm0.2O2 electrolyte.展开更多

If γ-Al_2O_3 is used as its support, cobalt ions can easily react with γ-Al_2O_3 at not very high temperature to form spinel CoAl_2O_4 or spinel-like, which decreases the activity of the combustion catalyst. In this paper, MgAl_2O_4 and CaAl_2O_4 were pre-coated on γ-Al_2O_3 by impregnation respectively, which formed compound support for LSC. It is shown that, when MgAl_2O_4 layer is covered on the surface of MgAl_2O_4 by impregnation, the entering of cobalt ions into γ-Al_2O_3 lattice is restrained, then LSC formed on the surface of MgAl_2O_4, which leads to a good catalytic activity of xylene complete oxidation. But the layer of MgAl_2O_4 should be thick enough to reach 30% (mass fraction) MgO in the support due to large size particle of MgAl_2O_4 crystalline. If polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is added into the impregnation solution adequately, MgAl_2O_4 particles formed on the surface of γ-Al_2O_3 are getting smaller, and less amount of MgAl_2O_4 is needed to cover up the surface of γ-Al_2O_3. If CaAl_2O_4 layer substituted for MgAl_2O_4, more closed cover is obtained in virtue of fine particles of CaAl_2O_4. The activity examination shows that smaller particles of MgAl_2O_4 or CaAl_2O_4 can be more effective to hinder cobalt ions entering the lattice of γ-Al_2O_3, and better activities will be obtained.展开更多
