Abstract:
Twinned crystals of Cu2-xEuxO were fabricated through a gas-liquid reaction and collaborative thermal annealing method. The effective doping of the europium (Eu) atoms in twinned crystal Cu2O is attributed to the mechanisms of ion diffusion and capture doping. To better investigate the room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) of twinned crystal materials, further analysis was performed on the ferromagnetic properties of Cu2-xEuxO bulk using field-cooling and zero-field-cooling measurements. The magnetic properties of the twinned crystal Cu2O mainly arise from the electronic spin polarization on the (111) twinned crystal plane. Furthermore, the parabolic characteristics of its saturation magnetization can be explained by two competing mechanisms present in the doping process. To investigate the magnetic origin of the twinned crystal Cu2-xEuxO bulks, the spatial distribution of spintronic state density was analyzed using four distinct structural models. The results indicate that Eu atoms mainly contribute to the magnetism of the Cu2-xEuxO bulks. The linkage between 4f electron-associated spin-polarized states and carriers in the twinned crystal Cu2-xEuxO bulks makes them promising for spintronics applications. © 2024 American Chemical Society.
