Oxygen-vacancy-induced local ferromagnetism as a driving mechanism in enhancing the magnetic response of ferrites

Abstract: This work probes the relevance of oxygen vacancies in the formation of local ferromagnetic coupling between Fe ions at octahedral sites in zinc ferrites. This coupling gives rise to a ferrimagnetic ordering with the Curie temperatures above room temperature in an otherwise antiferromagnetic compound. This conclusion is based on experimental results from x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements at the Fe L 2,3 edges and magnetization measurements performed on zinc ferrites, nanoparticles, and films, with … Show more

“…So, in this case decreased bond angle weakens the AFM super-exchange interaction and in effect causes the spin canting away from the perfect AFM structure and thus induce ferromagnetism. Besides this, uncompensated spins originated from Fe 3+ due to oxygen vacancy, improve magnetism [30]. However, improved ferromagnetism is observed up to 10% Mo doping and in fact highest Ms is observed for BBFMO-10.…”

“…Magnetic spinels are a remarkable class of materials, not only for their many applications, but also because of a wealth of new physics that continues to emerge from their fundamental investigations [1][2][3][4][5][6]. These properties result from many variations of the magnetic and nonmagnetic ions that can be accommodated on the tetrahedral A sites and the octahedral B sites in the AB 2 O 4 spinel structure, thus affecting the magnitudes of the superexchange interactions J AA , J BB , and J AB [7][8][9].…”

“…Additionally, it has been reported that oxygen vacancies in ferrite samples leads to modification of magnetization and transport properties arising as a result change in the valence state of Fe ions and redistribution of electrons. 30,31 In our case the Oxygen vacancies do not change valence state of Fe which can modify the magnetization. Therefore, the role of Oxygen vacancies in the magnetism of these compounds with the probes we have investigated is not very significant.…”
