摘要

寻找一种性能良好的磁性绝缘材料是发展新型多功能量子自旋电子器件至关重要的基础, 但是大多数已知的磁性绝缘材料具有居里温度低(< 300 K), 铁磁性和结构对称性差的特点. 本工作中, 我们成功设计并制备了一种新型的磁性绝缘体: Bi8Fe2.8Co0.2-Ti2O20Cl, 它具有包含五层钙钛矿层的层状Sillen-Aurivillius结构. 令人惊讶的是, 此种化合物的居里温度达到了约804 K, 比未掺杂的奈耳温度提高超过300 K. 此外, 由于Sillen层的存在, Bi8Fe2.8-Co0.2Ti2O20Cl具有比所有已知相同Co摩尔比掺杂的Aurivillius氧化物更大的剩余磁化强度. X射线吸收光谱(XAS)和X-光磁性圆二色性(XMCD)光谱分析表明, Bi8Fe2.8Co0.2Ti2O20Cl的铁磁性主要是由Co掺杂引起的FeO6八面体的形变和Fe−O−Co的Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya(D-M)相互作用所致.
