Abstract

We report for the first time the magnetic structure of the high entropy oxide (Mg_0.2Co_0.2Ni_0.2Cu_0.2Zn_0.2)O using neutron powder diffraction. This material exhibits a sluggish magnetic transition but possesses a long-range ordered antiferromagnetic ground state, as revealed by direct current and alternating current magnetic susceptibility, neutron diffraction, and spectroscopy. The magnetic propagation wavevector is k = (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) based on the cubic structure $$Fm\bar{3m}$$, and the magnetic structure consists of ferromagnetic sheets in the (111) planes with spins antiparallel between two neighboring planes. Neutron spectroscopy reveals strong magnetic excitations at 100 K that survive up to room temperature. Furthermore this work demonstrates that entropy-stabilized oxides represent a unique platform to study long-range magnetic order with an extreme chemical disorder.

Spin dynamics and a nearly continuous magnetic phase transition in an entropy-stabilized oxide antiferromagnet

Journal Article Frandsen, Benjamin A. ; Petersen, K. Alec ; Ducharme, Nicolas A. ; ... - Physical Review Materials

In this work, the magnetic order and the spin dynamics in the antiferromagnetic entropy-stabilized oxide (Mg_0.2Co_0.2Ni_0.2Cu_0.2Zn_0.2)O (MgO-ESO) have been studied using muon spin relaxation (μSR) and inelastic neutron scattering. We find that antiferromagnetic order develops gradually in the sample volume as it is cooled below 140 K, becoming fully ordered around 100 K. The spin dynamics show a critical slowing down in the vicinity of the transition, and the magnetic order parameter grows continuously in the ordered state. These results indicate that the antiferromagnetic transition is continuous but proceeds with a Gaussian distribution of ordering temperatures. Additionally, the magnetic contributionmore »« less

Spin reorientation and Ce-Mn coupling in antiferromagnetic oxypnictide CeMnAsO

Journal Article Zhang, Qiang ; Tian, Wei ; Peterson, Spencer G. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Structure and magnetic properties of high-quality polycrystlline CeMnAsO, a parent compound of the “1111”-type oxypnictides, have been investigated using neutron powder diffraction and magnetization measurements. We find that CeMnAsO undergoes a C-type antiferromagnetic order with Mn²⁺(S = 5/2) moments pointing along the c axis below a relatively high Néel temperature of T_N = 347(1) K. Below T_SR = 35 K, two simultaneous transitions occur where the Mn moments reorient from the c axis to the ab plane preserving the C-type magnetic order, and Ce moments undergo long-range AFM ordering with antiparallel moments pointing in the ab plane.

Coexistence of long-range antiferromagnetism and short-range inhomogeneous superstructures in an insulating YBCO compound.

Conference Islam, Z ; Liu, X ; Sinha, S K ; ...

Numerous experiments indicate that high-T{sub c} cuprate superconductors are intrinsically inhomogeneous even in their superconducting state. These inhomogeneities appear to have various length scales ranging from a nanometer to tens of nanometers, associated with, for example, atomic-scale electronic disorder as in BSCCO and lattice modulations as in the yttrium-barium-copper oxide (YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6+x}, YBCO) superconductors. As a parent Mott insulator is doped with charge carriers, the long-range antiferromagnetic (AF) state is destroyed, and superconducting ground state emerges above a certain critical doping level. Although the presence of inhomogeneities have been observed in the superconducting part of the phase diagram,more »« less
MnFe_0.5Ru_0.5O₃: an above-room-temperature antiferromagnetic semiconductor

Journal Article Tan, Xiaoyan ; McCabe, Emma E. ; Orlandi, Fabio ; ... - Journal of Materials Chemistry C

A transition-metal-only MnFe_0.5Ru_0.5O₃ polycrystalline oxide was prepared by a reaction of starting materials MnO, MnO₂,FeO₃, RuO₂ at 6 GPa and 1873 K for 30 minutes. A combination of X-ray and neutron powder diffraction refinements indicated that MnFe_0.5Ru_0.5O₃ adopts the corundum (a-Fe₂O₃) structure type with space group Rmore »« less

Unique Helical Magnetic Order and Field-Induced Phase in Trillium Lattice Antiferromagnet EuPtSi

Journal Article Kaneko, Koji ; Frontzek, Matthias D. ; Matsuda, Masaaki ; ... - Journal of the Physical Society of Japan

Magnetic transition phenomena in cubic chiral antiferromagnet EuPtSi with T_N = 4.0 K were investigated by means of single crystal neutron diffraction. At 0.3 K in the ground state, magnetic peaks emerge at positions represented by an ordering vector q₁=(0.2,0.3,0) and its cyclic permutation. Upon heating, an additional magnetic peak splitting with hysteresis was uncovered at around Tmore »« less
