AbstractIn this study we combine scanning transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy and electron magnetic circular dichroism to get new insights into the electronic and magnetic structure of LaSr-2×4 manganese oxide molecular sieve nanowires integrated on a silicon substrate. These nanowires exhibit ferromagnetism with strongly enhanced Curie temperature (Tc>500 K), and we show that the new crystallographic structure of these LaSr-2×4 nanowires involves spin orbital coupling and a mixed-valence Mn3+/Mn4+, which is a must for ferromagnetic ordering to appear, in line with the standard double exchange explanation.

Determining the magnetic structure of material on a nanometer scale is fundamental for understanding its nano-scale magnetic property and developing nano-scale magnetic devices. Site-specific electron energy-loss magnetic chiral dichroism (site-specific EMCD[1],[2]) method is come up with to get the crystallographic site-specific magnetic information of nanostructures. By constructively using the dynamical diffraction conditions in EMCD experiments, we experimentally achieve the crystallographic site-specific magnetic structure of a nanostructure of NiFe2O4 as an example in transmission electron microscope, with its site-specific magnetic circular dichroism spectra, and its site-specific spin/orbital magnetic moments extracted. The site-specific EMCD method shows its unique capability for solving the crystallographic site-specific magnetic structure on nano-scale, compared with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and neutron diffraction. This work may benefit the research and application of magnetic materials on a nanometer scale.
