Anisotropic compression effects on nanocrystalline crystals of nickel oxide
Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials(2019)
摘要
Nickel oxide (NiO) with bulk crystalline size is an antiferromagnetic insulator correlated strongly with crystal structure. A reduction in crystalline size causes a change in the magnetic sublattice, resulting in the appearance of ferromagnetic moments. Furthermore, in the nano crystals fabricated in mesoporous silica, there is a lattice distortion at the unit cell level that brings about the change in the magnetic property, suggesting a prominent magneto-structural correlation. We investigate anisotropic compression effects on nanocrystalline NiO with a crystalline size (D) of 11.4 nm to observe this remarkable magneto-structural correlation. Magneto-crystalline anisotropy is at its maximum when negative contraction occurs. The negative contraction appears even in a bulk crystal under non-ideal hydrostatic compression, and its anomalous structural change is suppressed with decreasing D.
