摘要:

反鈣鈦礦結(jié)構(gòu)錳氮化物的負熱膨脹效應近年來獲得了廣泛關注。我們利用固相反應法制備出系列反鈣鈦礦結(jié)構(gòu)化合物

Ga1-xN0.8Mn3+x(0<x≤0.3)，并對其熱膨脹性能及電輸運性質(zhì)展開研究。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，隨著Mn原子對Ga原子替換量（x）的增加，Ga1-xN0.8Mn3+x中磁體積效應的溫區(qū)被展寬且向低溫區(qū)移動，呈現(xiàn)負熱膨脹行為。其中，x=0.2和0.25樣品的負膨脹效應的溫度范圍分別是292K-339K和256K-309K，對應線膨脹系數(shù)分別為-48ppm/K和-42ppm/K。與之相對應，電阻率也在對應溫區(qū)出現(xiàn)反常行為。我們認為Mn替代Ga對（111）面內(nèi)Г5g反鐵磁序的擾動可能是導致MVE效應展寬為NTE效應的主要因素。

Abstract:

Antiperovskite manganese nitrides have attracted much attention recently because of the negative thermal expansion (NTE) they display. A new series of anti-perovskite manganese nitrides Ga1-xN0.8Mn3+x(0<x≤3) were prepared using solid–state reaction method. In the present work, the negative thermal expansion (NTE) and the electrical transport were studied. With the increment of Mn-doping level, the temperature span of the magnetovolume effect not only broadens but also shifts toward lower temperatures. The temperature span of NTE is 292-339K and 256-309K, and the corresponding coefficient of linear thermal expansion is -48ppm/K and -42ppm/K, respectively. An abnormal behavior of resistivity was observed, in line with the contraction of the lattice. The NTE behaviors may be attributed to the disturbance of the Γ5g antiferromagnetic ground state by partially substituting the Ga atoms with Mn.
