We find that the crystals show large linear magnetoresistance without any sign of saturation with a magnetic field up to 30T. We also observe a phase transition with significant anomalies in resistivity and heat capacity at T_(p)~140 K. Thermal expansion measurement reveals a subtle lattice parameter variation near Tp, i.e.,?L_(c)/L_(c)~0.062%. The structural characterization confines that there is no structure transition below and above T_(p). All these results suggest that the nonmagnetic transition of SrCu_(4-x)P_(2) could be associated with structural distortion.展开更多

The structural, magnetic and transport properties were strongly influenced by the annealing temperature. The annealed samples obviously became discontinuous multilayers.A maximum magnetoresistance ratio of 5.6% was obtained under a relatively low saturation field of about 400 (103/4π)A/m at the optimum annealing temperature of 450℃. When the annealing temperature was increased, the resistivity decreased, and the coercive force and the saturation field increased. The magnetoresistance ratio also depended on the thickness of Co and Cu layers. The magnetic and transport properties were explained on the basis of the discontinuous multilayered structure.展开更多

Nb)-Si-B ribbons have been investigated. It was observed that the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of nanocrystalline alloy is much smaller than that of amorphous alloy, indicating that the anisotropy of nanocrystalline alloy becomes smaller after crystallizing, and the smallest AMR is coincident with the excellent soft magnetic characteristics. It is believed that the smaller magnetic crystalline anisotropy is the origin of the excellent soft magnetic characteristics of nanocrystalline alloy.展开更多

When the applied magnetic field B is perpendicular to the current I, the resistivities for both directions(I ‖ a, I ‖ c) show field induced metal-to-insulator-like transitions. The isothermal magnetoresistance(MR) at low temperatures increases approximately as the square of the magnetic field without any sign of saturation, and reaches up to 1140000% and 58000% at T = 2 K and B = 9 T for I ‖ a and I ‖ c, respectively. As the magnetic field rotates to parallel to the current, no sign of negative MR is observed for I ‖ a, while an obvious negative MR appears up to-70% at 2 K and 9 T for the current flowing along the c-axis, and the negative longitudinal MR shows a strong dependence of the electrode position on the single crystal. These results suggest that the negative longitudinal MR is caused by the dislocations formed in the process of crystal growing along the c-axis. Further studies are needed to clarify this point.展开更多

文摘Multiferroic materials are general antiferromagnets with negligibly small net magnetization,which strongly limits their magnetoelectric applications in spintronics.Spin Hall magnetoresistance(SMR)is sensitive to the orientation of the Néel vector,which can be applied for the detection of antiferromagnetic states.Here,we apply SMR on the unique room-temperature antiferromagnetic multiferroic material BiFeO_(3)(BFO).The angular dependence of SMR in a bilayer of epitaxial BFO(001)and heavy metal Pt is studied.By rotating the sample under a magnetic field of 80 kOe in the film plane,the resistance shows the maximum when the field is perpendicular to the current while it shows the minimum when the field is along the current.This can be well explained by the SMR in the bilayer of heavy metal/antiferromagnet with the relative orientation between the Néel vector and current direction.In contrast,the angular dependence of the resistance of Pt directly deposited on a SrTiO_(3)(001)substrate shows a 90°shift with the magnetic field rotating in the film plane,which originates from the Hanle magnetoresistance of Pt.The obtained spin mixing conductance at the Pt/BFO interface clearly confirms the efficient spin transmission.Our results provide a possible solution for applications of antiferromagnetic multiferroic materials in spintronics.

文摘Co/Cu discontinuons multilayers were prepared by rf-sputtering method under high sputtering power and then annealed at various temperutures in a high vacuum. The structural, magnetic and transport properties were strongly influenced by the annealing temperature. The annealed samples obviously became discontinuous multilayers.A maximum magnetoresistance ratio of 5.6% was obtained under a relatively low saturation field of about 400 (103/4π)A/m at the optimum annealing temperature of 450℃. When the annealing temperature was increased, the resistivity decreased, and the coercive force and the saturation field increased. The magnetoresistance ratio also depended on the thickness of Co and Cu layers. The magnetic and transport properties were explained on the basis of the discontinuous multilayered structure.

文摘Very few materials show large magnetoresistance(MR)under a low magnetic field at room temperature,which causes the barrier to the development of magnetic field sensors for detecting low-level electromagnetic radiation in real-time.Here,a hybrid reduced graphene oxide(rGO)-based magnetic field sensor is produced by in situ deposition of FeCo nanoparticles(NPs)on reduced graphene oxide(rGO).Special quantum magnetoresistance(MR)of the hybrid rGO is observed,which unveils that Abrikosov's quantum model for layered materials can occur in hybrid rGO;meanwhile,the MR value can be tunable by adjusting the particle density of FeCo NPs on rGO nanosheets.Very high MR value up to 21.02±5.74%at 10 kOe at room temperature is achieved,and the average increasing rate of resistance per kOe is up to 0.9282ΩkOe^-1.In this paper,we demonstrate that the hybrid rGO-based magnetic field sensor can be embedded in a wireless system for real-time detection of low-level electromagnetic radiation caused by a working mobile phone.We believe that the two-dimensional nanomaterials with controllable MR can be integrated with a wireless system for the future connected society.

文摘Using pulsed laser deposition, Fex-C1-x films on Si (100) substrates were prepared. At T=300 K and B=5 T a large positive MR of 138% was found in Fe0.011-C0.989 film. It is also found that when T<258 K, the MR of Fe0.011-C0.989 film is negative and when 258 K<T<340 K, the MR of the film is positive. The MR of the material is also found to be controlled by the measuring current and measuring voltage. When B=2000 Oe, the MR is 11.5% at 2.5 mA and is 35% at about 35 V. The material has also a giant electroresistance of 500% at 8 V.

文摘Ferromagnetic semiconductor Ga_(1–x)Mn_(x)As_(1–y)P_(y) thin films go through a metal–insulator transition at low temperature where electrical conduction becomes driven by hopping of charge carriers.In this regime,we report a colossal negative magnetoresistance(CNMR)coexisting with a saturated magnetic moment,unlike in the traditional magnetic semiconductor Ga_(1–x)Mn_(x)As.By analyzing the temperature dependence of the resistivity at fixed magnetic field,we demonstrate that the CNMR can be consistently described by the field dependence of the localization length,which relates to a field dependent mobility edge.This dependence is likely due to the random environment of Mn atoms in Ga_(1-x)Mn_(x)As_(1-y)P_(y) which causes a random spatial distribution of the mobility that is suppressed by an increasing magnetic field.

文摘The magnetoresistance effect and magnetic properties in amorphous and nanocrystalline Fe(Cu. Nb)-Si-B ribbons have been investigated. It was observed that the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of nanocrystalline alloy is much smaller than that of amorphous alloy, indicating that the anisotropy of nanocrystalline alloy becomes smaller after crystallizing, and the smallest AMR is coincident with the excellent soft magnetic characteristics. It is believed that the smaller magnetic crystalline anisotropy is the origin of the excellent soft magnetic characteristics of nanocrystalline alloy.

文摘Dirac semimetal is a class of materials that host Dirac fermions as emergent quasi-particles.Dirac cone-type band structure can bring interesting properties such as quantum linear magnetoresistance and large mobility in the materials.In this paper,we report the synthesis of high quality single crystals of BaMnBi_2 and investigate the transport properties of the samples.BaMnBi_2 is a metal with an antiferromagnetic transition at T_N = 288 K.The temperature dependence of magnetization displays different behavior from CaMnBi_2 and SrMnBi_2,which suggests the possible different magnetic structure of BaMnBi_2.The Hall data reveals electron-type carriers and a mobility μ(5K)= 1500 cm^2/V·s.Angle-dependent magnetoresistance reveals the quasi-two-dimensional(2D) Fermi surface in BaMnBi_2- A crossover from semiclassical MR^H^2dependence in low field to MR^H dependence in high field,which is attributed to the quantum limit of Dirac fermions,has been observed in magnetoresistance.Our results indicate the existence of Dirac fermions in BaMnBi_2.

文摘Graphene foam is becoming a material of choice for magnetoelectronic devices due to its large,linear and unsaturated room temperature magnetoresistance.However,the magnetoresistance of graphene foam is not as large as that of monolayer graphene.Herein,we describe how magnetoresistance^100%was detected at room temperature under a magnetic field of 5 T that is comparable to the magnetoresistance in monolayer graphene;the highest magnetoresistance of^158%was detected at 5 K under a magnetic field of 5 T.Unlike monolayer graphene,graphene foam is far more comfortable with producing in gram scale and utilizing in magnetoelectronic devices.

文摘We report a systematic study on magnetotransport properties of the single crystal of cadmium(Cd). When the applied magnetic field B is perpendicular to the current I, the resistivities for both directions(I ‖ a, I ‖ c) show field induced metal-to-insulator-like transitions. The isothermal magnetoresistance(MR) at low temperatures increases approximately as the square of the magnetic field without any sign of saturation, and reaches up to 1140000% and 58000% at T = 2 K and B = 9 T for I ‖ a and I ‖ c, respectively. As the magnetic field rotates to parallel to the current, no sign of negative MR is observed for I ‖ a, while an obvious negative MR appears up to-70% at 2 K and 9 T for the current flowing along the c-axis, and the negative longitudinal MR shows a strong dependence of the electrode position on the single crystal. These results suggest that the negative longitudinal MR is caused by the dislocations formed in the process of crystal growing along the c-axis. Further studies are needed to clarify this point.
