- ItemMagnetic and electronic properties of single-crystalline BaCoSO(American Physical Society, 2019-11-21) Song, YH; Liu, XS; Wu, D; Yao, Q; Wen, CHP; Avdeev, M; Peng, R; Xu, HC; Miao, J; Lou, X; Fang, YF; Pan, BL; Wang, NL; Peets, DC; Feng, DGDoped BaCoSO was recently predicted to be a high-temperature superconductor in a new class based on Co and Ni. Using a Co-S self-flux method, we synthesized single crystals of the antiferromagnetic insulator BaCoSO. Our magnetic and specific heat measurements and neutron diffraction provide details of its magnetic anisotropy and order. Its band gap was determined to be about 1.3 eV by our measurements of its photoemission spectrum and infrared optical conductivity. Our results can pave the way to exploring the predicted superconductivity in this Co-based material. ©2019 American Physical Society
- ItemPressure-modulated magnetism and negative thermal expansion in the Ho2Fe17 intermetallic compound(American Chemical Society, 2023-05-25) Cao, YL; Zhou, H; Khmelevskyi, S; Lin, K; Avdeev, M; Wang, CW; Wang, B; Hu, F; Kato,; Hattori, T; Abe, J; Ohara, K; Kawaguchi, S; Li, Q; Fukuda, M; Nishikubo, T; Lee, K; Koike, T; Liu, Q; Miao, J; Deng, JX; Shen, B; Azuma, M; Xing, XHydrostatic and chemical pressure are efficient stimuli to alter the crystal structure and are commonly used for tuning electronic and magnetic properties in materials science. However, chemical pressure is difficult to quantify and a clear correspondence between these two types of pressure is still lacking. Here, we study intermetallic candidates for a permanent magnet with a negative thermal expansion (NTE). Based on in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction, negative chemical pressure is revealed in Ho2Fe17 on Al doping and quantitatively evaluated by using temperature and pressure dependence of unit cell volume. A combination of magnetization and neutron diffraction measurements also allowed one to compare the effect of chemical pressure on magnetic ordering with that of hydrostatic pressure. Intriguingly, pressure can be used to control suppression and enhancement of NTE. Electronic structure calculations indicate that pressure affected the top of the majority band with respect to the Fermi level (EF), which has implications for the magnetic stability, which in turn plays a critical role in modulating magnetism and NTE. This work presents a good example of understanding the effect of pressure and utilizing it to control properties of functional materials. © 2024 American Chemical Society
