摘要: Magnetic insulators are functional materials with potential applications in spintronics and multiferroics. The hollandites AxM8O16, which contain mixed-valent transition metals, have demonstrated ferromagnetism combined insulating behavior provide a new platform for exploring the effects of magnetic frustration due to their “folded” triangular lattice. We tuned hollandite BaxMn8O16 from complex antiferromagnet Neel temperature (TN) = 25 K ferrimagnet Curie (TC) 180 via partial cobalt substitution manganese. Both BaxCoyMn8-yO16 were prepared by salt flux methods, neutron X-ray diffraction confirm distorted hollandite-type structure both oxides. photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that Co2+ drives average Mn oxidation state 3.7+ nearly 4.0+, thereby changing its d-electron count. Magnetization resistivity measurements show cobalt-doped is ferrimagnetic insul...
