Mn doping-induced twofold spin reorientation and multi-step spin switching in NdFeO3 single crystal
Source abstract
Abstract
Magnetization reversal and magnetic state regulation are the basis of application for magnetic materials in information processing. Here, twofold spin reorientation transitions (SRT) and field-induced multi-step spin switching phenomena were observed in NdMn 0.2Fe 0.8O 3 (NMFO) single crystals grown via the optical floating zone method. Magnetic anisotropy was systematically investigated in both Zero-Field-Cooled (ZFC) and Field-Cooled (FC) modes. The NMFO single crystal exhibited twofold SRTs: from Γ 4 ( G x, A y, F z) to Γ 1 ( A x, G y, C z) and from Γ 1 ( A x, G y, C z) to Γ 2 ( F x, C y, G z). Furthermore, a magnetic field-induced spin reorientation transition was identified along the c-axis. Additionally, closer proximity to the SRT temperature corresponded to a reduced magnetic field requirement for inducing the spin reorientation transition. These findings contribute to our comprehension of spin dynamics in NMFO, presenting possibilities for future device applications.
