Cooling Fields Induced Giant Magnetoresistance in High-Pressure Synthesized Double Perovskite Y2NiIrO6

摘要: 双钙钛矿材料Y2NiIrO6的亚铁磁转变温度为192 K,因其奇异的交换偏置效应而受到广泛关注。系统研究了Y2NiIrO6的低温晶体结构、电导行为及磁电阻性能,发现该材料在130 K时保持了290 K时的晶体结构,并在130~300 K的温区内表现出半导体电导行为。在居里温度以上的顺磁状态,其导电行为可以用Efros-Shklovskii变程跃迁模型拟合,在居里温度以下,亚铁磁有序使电阻行为偏离该模型。更为有趣的是,亚铁磁序诱导了材料的负磁电阻效应,并且7.0 T的场冷诱导了–10%的巨磁电阻效应。这一新机制为探索新型巨磁电阻材料提供了全新的研究思路。Abstract: Double perovskite Y2NiIrO6 is a ferrimagnetic material with Curie temperature of 192 K. It has drawn wide attention owing to its remarkable exchange-bias effect. Here, we studied the low-temperature crystal structure, electron transport properties and magnetoresistance of Y2NiIrO6. The crystal structure under 130 K is almost identical with that of room-temperature. The material shows semiconducting behavior in the temperature range of 130 to 300 K. Above Curie temperature it can be well describe as Efros-Shklovskii variable-range hopping model. Below Curie temperature, a departure occurs due to the forming of long-range ferrimagnetic ordering. It is interesting to find that the magnetic ordering results into negative magneto-resistance. Moreover, giant magnetoresistance up to –10% is induced by cooling field of 7.0 T. This mechanism of this remarkable effect provides a new boulevard to discover new type of giant magneto-resistance materials.
