Abstract

Investigating the impact of hydrothermal duration on electronic magnetism, two distinct samples were synthesized: the V6O13 phase (S1) with 0.5 h of hydrothermal reaction, and the V6O13 and VO2 coexistent phase (S2) with 6 h of reaction. X-ray diffraction identified S1 as monoclinic C2/m, and S2 with a 4:1 ratio of V6O13 in P21/c space group VO2. Electron microscopy revealed rod-like V6O13 and spherical VO2. Both samples exhibited metal-insulator transitions, with the presence of VO2 in S2 elevating the metal-insulator phase transition onset temperature and widening the transition range. S1 exhibits antiferromagnetic ordering at low temperatures (T~ 55 K) and follows the Curie-Weiss law above the metal-insulator transition temperature, while the behavior of S2 was modeled by a combination of Pauli and Curie-like paramagnetism, aligning well with experimental data. Small hysteresis loops in both samples suggested weak ferromagnetism; the linear loop of S1 indicated strong vanadium electron correlation, and the incomplete S-loop of S2 was attributed to the influence of VO2 on the electronic magnetism of V6O13.
