ABSTRACTCobalt- and manganese-incorporated SnO2 thin films exhibiting room temperature ferromagnetism have been prepared by spray pyrolysis technique. Analysis of structural, magnetic and electrical properties of Sn1−xCoxO2−δ thin films indicates that the origin of ferromagnetism, seen for x<0.125, lies in the polarization of free carriers, leading to the necessary exchange interaction. The films exhibit a Curie temperature > 500K. The XRD study indicates that Sn1−xCoxO2−δ films with x<0.125 is single phasic with no evidence of any Co clusters or magnetic oxides, which supports the intrinsic nature of the ferromagnetism. The electrical transport studies indicate that extra electrons are generated on Co-incorporation in the SnO2 lattice. In the case of Sn1−xMnxO2·δ films, ferromagnetism is observed in a narrow range of manganese (0.075≤x≤0.10) with an associated increase in carrier concentration. The detailed analysis of various properties suggests that Mn-ions have been incorporated in the SnO2 lattice, and there is absence of any Mn-clusters, Mn-related secondary phases.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this work is to fabricate large-scale solution processable graphene-based films from graphene oxide (GO) solution and to characterize the transport properties of these films. The graphene like film is produced by annealing of the GO film to form reduced graphene oxide (rGO) thin films. The conductive rGO thin films are useable as spacer layers in spin valves and as organic electrodes. Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) characterizations on the film thickness and morphology have been carried out and simple electrical transport studies performed on spin coated rGO thin films. We have fabricated rGO thin films ranging from few to tens of nanometers in thickness with conductivities in the order of 1-100 S/m. We also show that the morphology of the films play an important role in facilitating higher conductivities for rGO thin films.

AbstractThe Kondo effect has been a topic of intense study because of its significant contribution to the development of theories and understanding of strongly correlated electron systems. In this work, we show that the Kondo effect is at work in La1−xPrxNiO3−δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6) thin films. At low temperatures, the local magnetic moments of the 3d eg electrons in Ni2+, which form because of oxygen vacancies, interact strongly with itinerant electrons, giving rise to an upturn in resistivity with x ≥ 0.2. Observation of negative magnetoresistance, described by the Khosla and Fisher model, further supports the Kondo picture. This case represents a rare example of the Kondo effect, where Ni2+ acts as an impurity in the background of Ni3+. We suggest that when Ni2+ does not participate in the regular lattice, it provides the local magnetic moments needed to scatter the conduction electrons in the Kondo effect. These results offer insights into emergent transport behaviors in metallic nickelates with mixed Ni3+ and Ni2+ ions, as well as structural disorder.

AbstractPd$$_{3}$$ 3 Bi$$_{2}$$ 2 S$$_{2}$$ 2 (PBS) is a recently proposed topological semimetal candidate. However, evidence for topological surface states have not yet been revealed in transport measurements due to the large mobility of bulk carriers. We report the growth and magneto-transport studies of PBS thin films where the mobility of the bulk carriers is reduced by two orders of magnitude, revealing for the first time, contributions from the 2-dimensional (2D) topological surface states in the observation of the 2D weak anti-localization (WAL) effect in magnetic field and angle dependent conductivity measurements. The magnetotransport data is analysed within the 2D Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka (HLN) theory. The analysis suggests that multiple conduction channels contribute to the transport. It is also found that the temperature dependence of the dephasing length can’t be explained only by electron-electron scattering and that electron-phonon scattering also contributes to the phase relaxation mechanism in PBS films.
