Multiferroicity in Doped Hexagonal LuFeO 3

August 27, 2015
Author(s)
Steven M. Disseler, Xuan Luo, Bin Gao, Yoon Seok Oh, Rongwei Hu, Yazhong Wang, Dylan Quintana, Alexander Zhang, Qingzhen Huang, June W. Lau, Rick L. Paul, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Sang-Wook Cheong, William D. Ratcliff
The hexagonal phase of LuFeO 3 is a rare example of a multiferroic material possessing a weak ferromagnetic moment, which is predicted to be switchable by an electric field. We stabilize this structure in bulk form through Mn and Sc doping, and determine

An Itinerant Antiferromagnetic Metal Without Magnetic Constituents

E. Svanidze, Jiakui K. Wang, Tiglet Besara, L. Liu, Qingzhen Huang, T. Siegrist, Benjamin Frandsen, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Andriy H. Nevidomskyy, Monica Barbara Gamza, M.C. Aronson, Y.J. Uemura, E. Morosan
Itinerant and local moment magnetism have substantively different origins, and require distinct theoretical treatment. A unified theory of magnetism has long been sought after, and remains elusive, mainly due to the limited number of known itinerant

Invar-like Behavior of Antiperovskite Mn 3+x Ni 1-x N Compounds

Sihao Deng, Ying Sun, Hui Wu, Qingzhen Huang, Jun Yan, Kewen Shi, Muhammad Imran Malik, Huiqing Lu, Lei Wang, Rongjin Huang, Laifeng Li, Cong Wang
The antiperovskite Mn 3+xNi 1-xN compounds have been synthesized and characterized by a variety of experimental techniques. After Mn doping at Ni site, both ferromagnetic characteristics and Invar-like effect were observed in the antiferromagnetic host

Coexistence of Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism in (Li 0.8 Fe 0.2 ) OHFeSe

March 1, 2015

X. F. Lu, N. Z. Wang, Hui Wu, Y. P. Wu, D. Zhao, X. Z. Zeng, X. G. Luo, T. Wu, W. Bao, G. H. Zhang, F. Q. Huang, Qingzhen Huang, X. H. Chen
FeSe-derived superconductors show some unique behaviors relative to iron-pnictide superconductors, which are very helpful to understand the mechanism of superconductivity in high-T c iron-based superconductors. The low-energy electronic structure of the

Giant Negative Thermal Expansion in Bonded MnCoGe-Based Compounds with Ni 2 In-Type Hexagonal Structure

February 11, 2015

Ying-Ying Zhao, Feng-Xia Hu, Li-Fu Bao, Jing Wang, Hui Wu, Qingzhen Huang, Rong-Rong Wu, Yao Liu, Fei-Ran Shen, Hao Kuang, Ming Zhang, Wen-Liang Zuo, Xin-Qi Zheng, Ji-Rong Sun, Bao-Gen Shen
MnCoGe-based compounds undergo a large negative thermal expansion (NTE) during the martensitic structural transition from Ni 2In-type hexagonal to TiNiSi-type orthorhombic structure. High resolution neutron diffraction experiments revealed that the

Phase Diagram of the Relaxor Ferroelectric (1-x)Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3-x PbTiO 3 Revisted: A neutron Powder Diffraction Study of the Relaxor Skin Effect

Daniel Phelan, Efrain E. Rodriguez, J Gao, Y Bing, Z.-G. Ye, Qingzhen Huang, Jinsheng Wen, Guangyong Xu, C. Stock, M Matsuura, Peter M. Gehring
We revisit the phase diagram of the relaxor ferroelectric PMN-xPT using neutron powder diffraction to test suggestions that residual oxygen vacancies and/or strain affect the ground state crystal structure. Powdered samples of PMN-xPT were prepared with

Structure and Magnetic Properties of the a-NaFeO 2 -Type Honeycomb Compound Na 3 Ni 2 BiO 6

November 15, 2014

Elizabeth M. Seibel, J. H. Roudebush, Hui Wu, Qingzhen Huang, Mazhar N. Ali, Huiwen Ji, R. J. Cava
We present the structure and magnetic properties of Na 3Ni 2BiO 6, which is an ordered variant of the α-NaFeO 2 structure type. This layered compound has a 2:1 ordering of (Ni 2+/Bi 5+)O 6 octahedra within the a-b plane and sodium in octahedra between the

Tunable Cobalt Vacancies and Related Properties in LaCo x As 2
