Abstract
A novel vanadium hydroxide-phosphate, NH4 VPO4 OH, was synthesized hydrothermally in V2 O5 -NH4 H2 PO4 -citric acid system at 230 °C. It was characterized by XRD, TG-DSC, SEM-EDX, FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. NH4 VPO4 OH is isostructural with NH4 GaPO4 OH and features edge-sharing chains of VO6 octahedra. These chains running along [010] direction of the unit cell are connected by phosphate tetrahedra to form infinite layers parallel to the (100) plane. Ammonium cations are embedded between the heteropolyhedral layers. According to the thermodynamic and NMR measurements supported by the first-principles calculations, NH4 VPO4 OH presents a rare case of Haldane spin system with spin S=1 based on V3+ ions.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 14:6785. [PMID: 34832185 PMCID: PMC8621701 DOI: 10.3390/ma14226785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 11/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The non-stoichiometric system Li0.8Ni0.6Sb0.4O2 is a Li-deficient derivative of the zigzag honeycomb antiferromagnet Li3Ni2SbO6. Structural and magnetic properties of Li0.8Ni0.6Sb0.4O2 were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. Powder X-ray diffraction data shows the formation of a new phase, which is Sb-enriched and Li-deficient with respect to the structurally honeycomb-ordered Li3Ni2SbO6. This structural modification manifests in a drastic change of the magnetic properties in comparison to the stoichiometric partner. Bulk static (dc) magnetic susceptibility measurements show an overall antiferromagnetic interaction (Θ = -4 K) between Ni2+ spins (S = 1), while dynamic (ac) susceptibility reveals a transition into a spin glass state at a freezing temperature TSG ~ 8 K. These results were supported by the absence of the λ-anomaly in the specific heat Cp(T) down to 2 K. Moreover, combination of the bulk static susceptibility, heat capacity and 7Li NMR studies indicates a complicated temperature transformation of the magnetic system. We observe a development of a cluster spin glass, where the Ising-like Ni2+ magnetic moments demonstrate a 2D correlated slow short-range dynamics already at 12 K, whereas the formation of 3D short range static ordered clusters occurs far below the spin-glass freezing temperature at T ~ 4 K as it can be seen from the 7Li NMR spectrum.

Abstract
Spin glass (SG) is a magnetic state with spin structure incommensurate with lattice and charge. Fundamental understanding of its behavior has a profound impact on many technological problems. Here, we present a novel case of interface-induced spin glass behavior via self-assembly of single-crystalline NiO microcolumns in a single-crystalline NiFe2O4 matrix. Scanning transmission electron microscopy indicates that the hexagonal-shaped NiO columns are along their [211] direction and oriented along the [111] direction of the NiFe2O4 matrix. Magnetic force microscopy reveals magnetic anisotropy between NiO columns (antiferromagnetic transition temperature TN ∼ 523 K) and NiFe2O4 matrix (ferrimagnetic transition temperature TFI ∼ 860 K). This leads to spin disorder/frustration at atomically sharp NiFe2O4/NiO interfaces responsible for spin glass behavior below TSG ∼ 28 K. Our results demonstrate that self-assembly of magnetically distinct microstructures into another crystalline and magnetically ordered matrix is an effective way to create novel spin states at interfaces.
