Magnetic and spectral properties of multi-sublattice oxides SrY2O4:Er3+ and SrEr2O4

SrEr2O4 is a geometrically frustrated magnet which demonstrates rather unusual properties at low temperatures including a coexistence of long- and short-range magnetic order, characterized by two different propagation vectors. In the present work, the effects of crystal fields (CF) in this compound containing four magnetically inequivalent erbium sublattices are investigated experimentally and theoretically. We combine the measurements of the CF levels of the Er3+ ions made on a powder sample of SrEr2O4 using neutron spectroscopy with site-selective optical and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements performed on single crystal samples of the lightly Er-doped nonmagnetic analogue, SrY2O4. Two sets of CF parameters corresponding to the Er3+ ions at the crystallographically inequivalent lattice sites are derived which fit all the available experimental data well, including the magnetization and dc susceptibility data for both lightly doped and concentrated samples.Comment: 14 pages, 9 figure

Magnetic anisotropies and its optical manipulation in epitaxial bismuth ferrite/ferromagnet heterostructure

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Exchange-coupled BiFeO3/ferromagnet thin film heterostructures are promising for a fast and power efficient control of magnetization of the ferromagnetic layer. In the paper, the results of the study of magnetic properties of the epitaxial Fe2B/BiFeO3heterostructure on (0 0 1)-SrTiO3substrate with ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy are presented. The hierarchy of magnetic anisotropies that determine the angular variation of the resonance field in-plane and in-/out-of the plane of the system include the tetragonal four-fold and uniaxial terms for the Fe2B layer, uniaxial term for antiferromagnetic BiFeO3layer and the exchange coupling at the interface. We find out that the exchange bias direction can be switched by a strong enough applied magnetic field. Both the exchange bias and an in-plane FMR resonance field of the heterostructure are strongly affected by the illumination with λ = 405 nm light. An optical tunability of the exchange bias and ferromagnetic resonance fields of the heterostructure has been demonstrated
