    Cobalt doping effects in zinc oxide
    2024 - PEREIRA, LUCIANO F.D.; FERREIRA, WANDERSON L.; CORREA, BRUNO S.; COSTA, MESSIAS S.; COSTA, CLEIDILANE S.; FILHO, ARNALDO A.M.; SALES, TATIANE S.N.; BOSCH-SANTOS, BRIANNA; SCHELL, JULIANA; BURIMOVA, ANASTASIA; SAXENA, RAJENDRA N.; CABRERA-PASCA, GABRIEL A.; CARBONARI, ARTUR W.
    In this paper, we investigate the solubility effects of Co in ZnO (Zn1−xCoxO, where x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.4, 0.8, and 1) by combining the results of perturbed angular correlation (PAC) spectroscopy using highly diluted 111Cd as probe nuclei and ab initio calculations based on spin-density functional theory (SDFT). This combined approach enables us to characterize the local structure around Cd ions, where, through PAC technique, it was possible to measure the EFG as a function of temperature and Co concentration and thereby monitor the changes in the structure and the Co solubility threshold in ZnO and the ZnO/CoO/Co3O4 mixed phase. The full-potential linear augmented plane wave plus local orbital (APW+lo) formalism were used here to describe the electronic structure of the supercells, including the atomic relaxations. These Ab initio calculations show an interesting behavior of the Cd and Co impurity levels in the band structure of ZnO, which explains the experimental results in terms of the origin of EFG and the evidence of ferromagnetic response.

    Magnetic and structural properties of the intermetallic Ce(1−x)LaxCrGe3 series of compounds
    2021 - BOSCH-SANTOS, B.; CABRERA-PASCA, G.A.; CORREA, E.L.; CORREA, B.S.; SALES, T.N.S.; MOON, K-W.; DENNIS, C.L.; HUANG, Q.; LEAO, J.B.; LYNN, J.W.; CARBONARI, A.W.
    The Ce(1−x)LaxCrGe3 (x = 0, 0.19, 0.43, 0.58, and 1) intermetallic compound system has been investigated by magnetization measurements and neutron scattering techniques to determine the effect of La doping on the magnetic ordering and exchange interaction between Cr ions. The structural and magnetic characterization in this series was first verified by x-ray diffraction and bulk magnetization measurements. The samples exhibit the known hexagonal perovskite structure (P63/mmc space group) and have a single magnetic phase according to magnetizationmeasurements. In this paper, the ferromagnetic ordering temperature for Cr evolves smoothly from a range of 68 K to 77 K for CeCrGe3 to a range of 91 K to 96 K for LaCrGe3 as La replaces Ce. Magnetization results indicate the formation of domain walls below the transition temperature for all Ce(1−x)LaxCrGe3 systems investigated. Neutron results indicate ordered magnetic Cr moments aligned along the c axis for the x = 1 LaCrGe3 system, as well as for x = 0.19, 0.43, and 0.58, which contrasts with the x = 0 CeCrGe3 where the moments order in the ab plane.

    Crystalline and magnetic properties of CoO nanoparticles locally investigated by using radioactive indium tracer
    2021 - SANTOS, RENATA V.; CABRERA-PASCA, GABRIEL A.; COSTA, CLEIDILANE S.; BOSCH-SANTOS, BRIANNA; OTUBO, LARISSA; PEREIRA, LUCIANO F.D.; CORREA, BRUNO S.; EFFENBERGER, FERNANDO B.; BURIMOVA, ANASTASIA; FREITAS, RAFAEL S.; CARBONARI, ARTUR W.
    We herein report a comprehensive investigation on the magnetic, structural, and electric properties of CoO nanoparticles with different sizes by local inspection through hyperfine interactions measured in a wide range of temperatures (10–670 K) by using radioactive 111In(111Cd) tracers with the perturbed angular correlations technique. Small cobalt oxide nanoparticles with the characteristic size of 6.5 nm have been prepared by the wet chemical route that turned out to be essential to incorporate radioactivity tracers during nucleation and growth of the particles. Nanocrystalline samples with 22.1 nm size were obtained by thermal treatments under low pressure of helium at 670 K. The hyperfine data were correlated with X-ray diffraction, ZFC–FC magnetic measurements, and transmission electron microscopy to describe the structure, magnetic properties, size, and shape of samples. An analysis of the temperature evolution of hyperfine parameters revealed that the structural distortion and the magnetic disorder in the core and on the surface layer play an important role in the magnetic behavior of CoO nanoparticles.

    RE-doped Fe3O4 (RE = Eu, Gd, Er) nanoparticles for nanothermometry
    2019 - CORREA, E.; BOSCH-SANTOS, B.; SALES, T.; CABRERA-PASCA, G.; CORREA, B.S.; NETO, O.F.; CARBONARI, A.W.; OLESHKO, V.; DENNIS, C.
    Temperature affects every physical system, chemical reaction, and biological process. A new method, magnetic nanothermometry, is being explored to measure temperature throughout a volume. This method uses large changes in magnetization as function of temperature, which cannot be obtained with current magnetic nano-objects (MNO). To get a large magnetization change we have examined the magnetic properties of RE-doped Fe3O4 (RE = Eu, Gd, Er) MNO. Samples were synthesized by co-precipitation. For the doped material, RE+3 were chosen in order to replace the Fe+3 in the (Fe+2)(Fe+3)2O4 structure. Structural characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Hyperfine interaction parameters as a function of temperature (300 K to 873 K) were obtained by perturbed angular g-g correlation (PAC) spectroscopy using 111In(111Cd) as probe nuclei. To fit the PAC spectra, the 111Cd probes were considered to occupy three sites: tetrahedral, octahedral, and a third site where the probes are located at the nanoparticle surface [1]. The hyperfine magnetic field Bhf was calculated using the Larmor equation, and its behavior as a function of temperature follows a Brillouin-type transition. For example, the Curie temperature (TC) obtained for 5% Er-doped was approx. 846 K (FIG. 1), which is higher than the expected TC for pure Fe3O4 (approx. 722 K) [2]. Magnetization as a function of temperature shows a 70 % change in magnetization around 100 K for Er-doped Fe3O4 (FIG.2), which is an improvement in temperature on pure Fe3O4 (below 50 K) [3]. Current work is focused on correlating the temperature range in which the magnetization change occurs and determining if it depends on the dopant element.
