Probing ferroic transitions in a multiferroic framework family: a neutron diffraction study of the ammonium transition metal formates.

چکیده
This study probes the magnetic and ferroelectric ordering of the NH4M(HCO2)3 (M = Mn(2+), Fe(2+), Co(2+) and Ni(2+)) frameworks using neutron diffraction, improving the understanding of the origins of the properties of these fascinating multiferroics. This rare study of the magnetic structure of a family of metal-organic frameworks shows that all four compounds exhibit antiferromagnetic coupling between neighbouring cations bridged by formate ligands. The orientation of the spin, however, changes in a highly unusual way across the series with the spins aligned along the c-axis for the Fe(2+) and Ni(2+) frameworks but lying in the ab plane for the other members of the series. This work also sheds new light on the nature of the ferroelectric order-disorder transition in these materials; probing changes in the ammonium cation across the transition and also shows that the Ni(2+) framework does not undergo a transition to the polar P63 phase due to the smaller size of the Ni(2+) cation. Finally trends in their anisotropic negative thermal expansion, which potentially enhances their ferroic behaviour, are quantified.

Oxyhalides: A new class of high-TC multiferroic materials
Magnetoelectric multiferroics have attracted enormous attention in the past years because of their high potential for applications in electronic devices, which arises from the intrinsic coupling between magnetic and ferroelectric ordering parameters. The initial finding in TbMnO3 has triggered the search for other multiferroics with higher ordering temperatures and strong magnetoelectric coupli...
متن کاملDynamic Strain in Epitaxial Ferroic Oxide Films — @bulletorkidia Multiferroic Materials Based on Artificial Thin Film Het- Erostructures —
Epitaxial strain is known or theoretically predicted to essentially influence the electronic properties of transition metal perovskite oxides like (Ba,Sr)TiO3. One approach for reversible biaxial strain variation in epitaxial films fitting to a pseudocubic lattice parameter of about 4.0 Angstrom is the utilization of a ferroand piezoelectric PMN-PT(001) substrate. (PMN-PT stands for 0.72PbMg1/3...
متن کاملThree-dimensional magnetic correlations in multiferroic LuFe2O4.
We present single crystal neutron diffraction measurements on multiferroic LuFe(2)O(4). Magnetic reflections are observed below transitions at 240 and 175 K indicating that the magnetic interactions in LuFe(2)O(4) are three-dimensional in character. The magnetic structure is refined as a ferrimagnetic spin configuration below the 240 K transition. Below 175 K a significant broadening of the mag...

An extended Zinti principle is discussed for framework structures of ternary metal chalcogenides, pnictides and hydrides with tetrahedral and planar coordination of transition metal atoms. Their bonding can be characterized by the magnetic moments measured by susceptibilities and neutron diffraction. The experimental results are compared with crystal field splittings obtained by calculations ba...
