Magneto-Optical Properties Of Complex Oxides, Peng Chen
Magneto-Optical Properties Of Complex Oxides, Peng Chen
Doctoral Dissertations
Complex oxides give rise to rich physics and exotic cross-coupled electronic and magnetic properties. This is because of the competing interaction between charge, structure, and magnetism in the materials. In this dissertation I present a spectroscopic investigation of several model complex oxides under external stimuli of magnetic field and temperature. The compounds of interest include BiFeO3 [bismuth ferrite] nanoparticles and tetragonal film, Bi1-xNdxFeO3 [neodymium doped bismuth ferrite], α-Fe2O3 [hematite], Ni3V2O8 [nickel vanadate], and RIn1-xMnxO3 [manganese doped rare earth indium oxide]. …
Growth And Electric Field Control Of Phase Separated Manganites, Hangwen Guo
Growth And Electric Field Control Of Phase Separated Manganites, Hangwen Guo
Doctoral Dissertations
Perovskite Manganites have received numerous attentions due to exotic behaviors such as colossal magnetoreistance (CMR) and electronic phase separation (EPS). The purpose of my research is to answer fundamental questions about the growth properties of manganites and electric field control of the EPS properties.
Experimental study was conducted on controlling the growth mode of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3[Lanthanum Strontium Manganese Oxide] thin films using pulsed laser deposition. Different thin film morphology, crystallinity and stoichiometry have been observed depending on growth parameters. To understand the microscopic origin, the thermodynamic processes were theoretically analyzed and a growth diagram was …
