Bipolar magnetic semiconducting behavior in VNbRuAl

چکیده
We report the theoretical prediction of a class spintronic materials, namely, bipolar magnetic semiconductors (BMSs), also supported by our experimental data. BMSs possess unique band structure with unequal gaps for spin-up and spin-down channels thus are useful tunable spin-transport-based applications such as spin filters. The valence conduction in approach Fermi level through opposite hence facilitate reversible polarization that is controllable via applied gate voltage. quaternary Heusler alloy VNbRuAl to exactly BMS. A rigorous normal x-ray diffraction (XRD) fitting along synchrotron XRD data confirms this crystallizes LiMgPdSn partial $\mathrm{B}2$ disorder. Transport measurements show two-channel semiconducting behavior quasilinear dependence negative magnetoresistance, indicating possible nature. thermoelectric power not only confirm nature but give strong indication BMS Interestingly, appears features fully compensated ferrimagnetic (FCF) vanishing magnetization significantly high ordering temperature ($>900 \mathrm{K}$). Theoretical simulations special quasirandom predict B2 disorder be mainly responsible coexistent FCF-like behavior. This study opens up possibility finding another materials antiferromagnetic spintronics, great significance both fundamental fronts.

متن کاملSpin-glass behavior of semiconducting KxFe2− yS2
We report the discovery of KxFe2−yS2 single crystals, isostructural to KxFe2−ySe2 superconductors. The sulfide compound is a small gap semiconductor and shows spin-glass behavior below 32 K. Our results indicate that stoichiometry, defects, and the local environment of FeCh (Ch = S,Se) tetrahedra have important effects on the physical properties of isostructural and isoelectronic KxFe2−yCh2 com...
متن کاملSemiconducting Behavior of Carbon Steel in Electrolyte Solution
In this paper, the semiconducting behavior of carbon steel in acid, base and salt solutions was studied by utilizing potential-capacitance and Mott-Schottky analysis. It was pointed out that the capacitance variation of space charge layer of carbon steel in different solution was different. The carbon steel showed p-type semiconducting behavior in 5% sulfuric acid and 5% sodium sulfate solution...
