Abstract We report our study of cobalt (II) titanate, CoTiO3, in which magnetic Co ions are replaced by non-magnetic ions. The antiferromagnetic ordering transition of CoTiO3 around 37 K is described with ferromagnetic honeycomb layers coupled antiferromagnetically along the crystallographic c direction. The effect of magnetic dilution on the Néel temperature of this material is investigated through the doping of Zn2+ and Mg2+ in place of Co2+ for various dilution levels up to x + y = 0.46 in Co1-x-yZnxMgyTiO3. Single phase polycrystalline samples have been synthesized and their structural and magnetic properties have been examined. A linear relation between dilution and the Néel temperature is observed over a wide doping range. A linear extrapolation would suggest that the required dilution level to suppress magnetic order is around x + y ∽ 0.74, well beyond the classical percolation threshold. The implication of this observation for microscopic models for describing CoTiO3 is discussed.

The switching behavior of the ferroelectric polarization of magnetoferroelectric YMnO3 epitaxial films at around the Néel temperature was investigated to discuss the effect of the antiferromagnetic ordering on the ferroelectric domain wall motion. From neutron diffractions to investigate the antiferromagnetic ordering and measurements of polarization-electric field, dielectric constant, and the time constant of the domain wall motion, the change of the domain wall motion is suggested at around 120 K, which is higher than the Néel temperature (~80 K).

A high temperature superconducting Y-Ba-Cu-Pt-O compound has been investigated. The results on magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of the compound are presented. A hysteresis of the magnetic moment at 4.2K is observed. This hysteresis occures, most probably, due to an antiferromagnetic ordering in the material. The Curie asymtotic temperature and Nèel temperature of the material are reported.

BiFeO3 is considered as a single phase multiferroic. However, its magnetism is very weak. We study the magnetic properties of BiFeO3 by Cu and (Cu, Zn). Polycrystalline samples Bi(Fe0.95Cu0.05)O3 and BiFe0.95(Zn0.025Cu0.025)O3 are prepared by the sol-gel method. The magnetic properties of BiFe0.95(Zn0.025Cu0.025)O3 are greater than that of BiFeO3 and Bi(Fe0.95Cu0.05)O3. The analyses of X-ray absorption fine structure data show that the doped Cu atoms well occupy the sites of the Fe atoms. X-ray absorption near edge spectra data confirm that the valence state of Fe ions does not change. Cu and Zn metal ion co-doping has no impact on the local structure of the Fe and Bi atoms. The modification of magnetism by doping Zn can be understood by the view of the occupation site of non-magnetically active Zn2+.

ABSTRACTElectrical conduction properties of charge ordering type ferroelectrics YFe2O4 were investigated. YFe2O4 was synthesized in reduced atmosphere at 1200 °C. Oxygen partial pressure of the reduced atmosphere was controlled by the equilibrium state of CO and CO2. YFe2O4 is paramagnetic at room temperature and has Néel temperature around 250K. The Néel temperature was decreased with increasing the amount of oxygen deficiency. Moreover, YFe2O4 showed ohmic conduction from 260 to 100 K. The temperature dependence of the DC conductivity showed an inflection point at the Néel temperature, which indicated the development of charge ordering of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions. From the complex impedance measurements, the equivalent circuits of YFe2O4 with different oxygen deficiency were determined at various temperatures.
