Magnetic Characterization of Zone-Refined Rare-Earth Orthoferrite Crystals Grown by the Optical Floating Zone Method

“…Figure shows the spin reorientation behavior of the pure single crystals. Sm 0.3 Y 0.7 FeO 3 exhibits a spin reorientation transition from Γ 2 ( F x ) – Γ 24 ( F xz ) – Γ 4 ( F z ) in the range 181–231 K, while Sm 0.5 Y 0.5 FeO 3 transforms from Γ 3 ( F y ) – Γ 32 ( F xy ) – Γ 2 ( F x ) phase in the range of 282–312 K, and Sm 0.7 Y 0.3 FeO 3 transforms from Γ 23 ( F xy ) – Γ 234 ( F xyz ) – Γ 4 ( F z ) in the temperature range 361–382 K. The MH behavior across the spin reorientation for Sm 0.7 Y 0.3 FeO 3 and Sm 0.3 Y 0.7 FeO 3 are shown in Supporting Information.…”

Nd3+ induced twofold continuous spin reorientation transition and magnetization along the b-axis in a Dy0.9Nd0.1FeO3 single crystal

“…1,16 Also an unusual spin reorientation transition from Γ 2 (F x , C y , G z ) to Γ 3 (C x , F y , A z ) was observed in Sm 0.5 Y 0.5 FeO 3 single crystals, and Raman spectroscopy corroborates the strong anisotropic spin–phonon coupling in the crystal. 17 Substitution at the R site provides the possibility of achieving the tunability of magnetic properties in orthoferrites RFeO 3 . But the specific contributions of doped rare-earth ions in RFeO 3 haven't been distinguished yet, which would have a great influence on the synthesis and properties of the materials.…”
