Magnetic disorder in the Cu0.995Fe0.005O solid solution
Stewart,Borzi,Mercader
, p. 77 - 82 (1999)
The magnetic hyperfine field, measured by Moessbauer spectroscopy, of a Cu(Fe)O solid solution displays a spin-glass-like behaviour that undergoes two transitions. The samples were produced by a 48 h ball-milling and 40 h successive annealing treatments at 650, 700 and 800 K with 0.25 mol% of α-57Fe2O3 and CuO. The signal shows a magnetic splitting that develops at temperatures lower than ca. 150 K. The measured distribution of hyperfine fields broadens at lower temperatures and its behaviour down to 15 K extrapolates to a saturation field of ≈29 T. The second transition takes place at temperatures between 4.2 and 15 K. The observed magnetic behaviour is interpreted in terms of magnetic disorder and canted local states of the system of magnetic moments.

In this work, the effect of insertion of transition metal, TM (=Ni, Zn, Al and Fe), ions in Cu1-xTMxO samples (0x0.10) prepared via co-precipitation method is studied through experimental and computational methods. The analyses of X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns using Rietveld refinement show that i) at x=0, all samples present a monoclinic crystal system with space group C2/c and ii) for increasing the TM-doping, Ni and Zn-doped samples show a small amount of spurious phases for concentrations above x=0.05. Based on these results, a defect disorder study for using atomistic computational simulations which is based on the lattice energy minimization technique is employed to predict the location of the dopant ions in the structure. In agreement with XRD data, our computational results indicate that the trivalent (Al and Fe ions) are more favorable to be incorporated into CuO matrix than the divalent (Ni and Zn ions).

Doped transition metal oxides, like CuO, are spintronic materials. An increase of magnetic moment has been reported in Fe-doped CuO.1 Additional secondary doping elements such as Li may further modify magnetism in transition metal oxides2,3 due to changes

One dimensional CuO and Fe doped CuO nanorods have been synthesized by template free solution phase hydrothermal methods. The typical diameter and the length of the Cu1-xFexO nanorods ( x = 0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10) are 20-25 and 300-400

CuO is a promising material for the spintronic industry for which lattice distortions/defects play an important role in determining its magnetic and various other physical properties. The ionic radii and charge of Cu2+[vi] (0.73 ?) and Fe3+[vi] (0.64 ?) are quite different. Hence high Fe substitution in CuO in place of Cu may generate strain/distortions. Fe substitution may enhance magnetic properties, even at room temperature, making such materials interesting for device applications. A detailed structural study on Fe incorporated CuO lattices to confirm phase purity, supported by evidence of the absence of a secondary phase is absolutely essential especially when considering a considerable substitution of up to ~12.5%. The electronic valence state, fine structure and local neighborhood/geometry of constituent elements need to be investigated using synchrotron based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). We report, for the first time, such a detailed study on understanding this magnetically and electronically important material: Cu1-xFexO, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.125.
