摘要
A detailed microscopic structural study on two single crystalline dilute magnetic oxides, BaTi0.95Fe0.05O3-delta with and without perceptible delta, has been carried out. Although it has been reported earlier that varying delta significantly affects high temperature ferromagnetism, the real distribution/redistribution of vacancies and dopant Fe ions inside the 6H hexagonal structure was never probed. This study reveals that oxygen vacancies reduce the dopant Fe3+ ions to Fe2+ and mostly accumulate around these Fe2+ ions. Another distinct trend is the tendency of the dopant Fe ions to get closer instead of being distributed randomly, thereby creating Fe-2(2+) O9-delta' like dimers within the 6H hexagonal unit cell. This experimental observation definitively confirms previous hypotheses based on theoretical models.
