Peter gives a talk at MS&T 2018

October 15, 2018 By John Heron

Peter gives a talk on the magnetism of entropy-stabilized oxides at MS&T 2018 in Columbus, OH, entitled Structurally Driven Magnetic Disorder in Entropy-Stabilized Oxides.

Abstract: A unique benefit to entropic stabilization is the increased solubility of elements, which opens a broad compositional space with subsequent local chemical and structural disorder resulting from different atomic sizes and preferred coordinations of the constituents. In the antiferromagnetic entropy-stabilized oxides studied here, we see that by tuning the chemistry, and thus the concentration of local structural distortions, we can either induce or reclaim a large degree of frustration in the magnetic lattice of the material. This effect can then be engineered to enhance the strength of the magnetic exchange field by a factor of 10x in ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic heterostructures, when compared to a “normal” antiferromagnetic oxide, such as CoO. Our results reveal that the unique characteristics of entropy stabilized materials can be utilized to engineer and enhance magnetic functional phenomena in oxide thin films, as well as offer a powerful platform for the study of defects and functional properties.
