被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Sc-substituted hexagonal ferrite Ba(FeSc)O has an incommensurate helimagnetic structure. However, the incommensurate helimagnetic structure has not been sufficiently determined, and the mechanism via which the helimagnetism develops has not been studied. Time-of-flight single-crystal neutron diffraction measurements were performed on single-crystal samples of Ba(FeSc)O with Sc concentrations of x = 0, 0.128, 0.153, and 0.193. The magnetic structure analyses revealed that the helimagnetic structure of Ba(FeSc)O is a cone type whose base is in the ab plane and height is in the c-axis direction. The magnetic moments of Fe2(4), Fe4(4), and Fe5(12) are aligned with distinct angles, leading to the helimagnetic structure of Ba(FeSc)O, and can be explained by assuming that there is an antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction between Fe2(4) and Fe5(12) that is negligible in the x = 0 crystal. The shorter bond distance of Fe2-O1 in Sc-rich crystals revealed by the crystal structure analyses enhances the superexchange interaction . The relatively strong leads to competition among the three superexchange interactions, , , and , resulting in the development of the helimagnetic structure. These findings facilitate the understanding of the essentials of the basic magnetic material BaFeO.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:12.81(Chemistry, Physical)Hexagonal ferrite Ba(FeSc)O is an important magnetic oxide material in both science and engineering because it exhibits helimagnetism around room temperature (300 K). In this study, the magnetic phase diagram of Ba(FeSc)O consisting of ferri-, heli-, antiferro-, and paramagnetic phases has been completed through magnetization and neutron diffraction measurements. The magnetic phase transition temperature to paramagnetism decreases with the increase in x, and the temperature at which the magnetization reaches a maximum, which corresponds to the magnetic phase transition from heli- to ferrimagnetism, is determined for low x crystals. The temperatures at which helimagnetism appears are precisely determined by observing the magnetic satellite reflection peaks in neutron diffraction at various temperatures, which characterize helimagnetism. Based on these results, the magnetic phase diagram of the Ba(FeSc)O system is constructed in the T-x plane. Helimagnetism appears at x 0.06, and magnetism with antiferromagnetic components appears as the extension phase of helimagnetism at x 0.19 through the coexistence region. The turn angle of the helix for each x crystal is calculated from the relationship, , where is the incommensurability. The turn angle decreases with the increase in temperature for the same x crystal, and increases with the increase in x at the same temperature. Furthermore, it is found that there are clear thresholds at which cannot take values between 0 < < 90 and 170 < < 180.
